Yeah!!!  They repaired our GB.  Now back to normal, I was tired of being centered.

Well, it was left flush while I was drafting it - OK, 50% fixed.

Very sorry to hear the news of Donna's passing.  Like Susan, I also wondered about her recently.  Prayers & sincere condolences to her family.

Any news of others who posted or came to minis previously, but we haven't heard from lately - Pat Williams (below b'day entry), Eileen Sandefer, Mike Dunn, others?

Carol - Very glad you checked in & we surely missed you at the 45th.  Sorry you've been under such a workload all this time.

JD - Good to see you looking very fit in your new slim look - you set the bar pretty high.  Glad you were able to take time away from your busy retirement ventures to join us - really enjoyed it.

James - I'm feeling fine, but my batteries wore down a bit.  Jack & JD were just getting too engrossed in serious discussion, instead of helping the rest of us unearth the dirt on all those other folks - some pretty close to home.

Richard - Way back before I suggested the idea of a surprise appearance by the Mystics to the committee, your name came up as a possible stand-in band member, in case some of the others couldn't make it.  But, since most of the original guys agreed to, it wasn't necessary, so we kept the secret local. 

I was unable to count the many surprised faces when folks figured out what was happening Sat. night.  But, when the guys led-off with their #1 hit from '65, the crowd pretty much lost it.  It was absolutely terrific & I salute David, Glenn, Danny & Robert, plus Al Struble & guys from Chill Factor for all their efforts in making it a reality.  Prayers continue for Ron's recovery, as well - I'm sure he hated missing this one, but know he wanted to be there.

My thanks to all the vets who furnished military photos for the slide-show.  Still missing some, so consider this a reminder to send yours along to help complete the presentation.

Lastly, many thanks to our reunion committee - Sandy, Barbara, Don F. & Jack, plus Mike F., his wife & Kellie F. - for another great & memorable occasion! 

P. S. - I fixed the g/b format also.

Thanks Sandy  We are getting anxious to see if #8 is going to be blonde. February is a long way off.

BELATED H a p p y  B i r t h d a y wishes go out to PatWilliams Weatherwax on 10/8!  Pat – Sorry for the delay. If you’re lurking out there, we hope this finds you doing well & thatyou enjoyed your big day, being spoiled by loved ones.  Best wishes & many happy returns! 

Thanks Karen. We think they are pretty special  I have enjoyed looking at every ones beautiful Grand ones! And a Great One. Wow!

I know I'm not as active over the past months on the GB. But it doesn't mean I don't check-in. I continue to light candles at mass every time I red a need. Lot's of you have been named and I apologize if I might have missed one. I have lit one for Donna...as all, a very tragic loss.

I thank the reunion committee and their aids, with great expertise I might add, for a wonderful three days. McGee, thanks for a great time...no one could have done it better. And thanks to Buddy, Bill Jonas & my cart driver and partner...Mr. Fugate for the time shared at the golf outing...it was great.

I nominate Hawkings and Tillery as our official story tellers for the class of 66'. In tandem they are a real pair.

And a final thank you to the many friends who were gracious enough to share their time with me...it was fun and will be remembered.

May God Bless all...

Thanks for letting us know about Donna. She was very nice. Condolences to her dtr and family.

How come all the messages are centered on the page now?  Not that I mind ... just curious.
