I just read the recent posts on this, and am new to it (I had a heck of a time figuring out how to get in, but Dru helped me out.....I need a good idiot lesson now and then. Thanks Dru).
I will not get real wordy here, but I do have to make a correction to Ritch Christopher's posting of 12 February. I guess I am one of "the kids" in the group, since my birthday is in LATE December. I will not turn 68 until well AFTER the 50th reunion. But if I attend, it will be nice to be among so many "old folks".
Since I went into the military right after graduation, I have not been in the area too often for the reunions. I was just returning from Germany when the 5th was held, and I enjoyed it quite a bit. My next reunion was #30, and I got such a kick out of immediately recognizing one of the "girls" with whom I had been in the same homeroom since first grade (Linda Beavers).......I was hiding the nametag/picture we wore that day but she had NO CLUE as to who I was. She kept saying "I'm sorry sir, I have no idea who you are.....No sir, I've never met you in my life....You must be mistaken, sir, I do NOT know you".Then when I finally told her who I was, and dropped my hand from hiding the nametag, she almost fainted on the spot. It was fun. I have always made such lasting impressions on women. (uhhhh, who are you again?.....uhhhh your HUSBAND of almost 46 years!!!!)
I live in a suburb of Ft Worth Texas, and am thinking of attending the reunion. I must say, I do recognize a few of the faces in the pictures here, but without some names attached to them, I would probably be very lost.
OK....I said I wouldn't get real wordy, so that's it from me. Thanks again, Dru.
