In answer to Richard's question of the 19th (maybe it was rhetorical), I didn't wear my one-piece racing suit for the New England 300 at the speedway in Loudon. Instead I wore a black (hot) t-shirt for the Kellogg's Corn Flakes car #5 and driver Terry Labonte with shorts and SPF45 Coppertone sunblock lotion. I periodically took a swig of the cold water in my cooler and ate some more of those famous carrot sticks and some cherry tomatoes. Yum! Oh, and also wore a NHIS hat to protect my fragile hairline from the sun. I ended up selling my last ticket at about 11:30 just outside the fence of the speedway to a guy who told me he was working in New Jersey and this was his first visit to this track. Not sure if I'm going in September, the 15th, or not, so my tickets might be available for that one. I was there along with everyone else the day after Thanksgiving which was the makeup date following the postponement from the Sunday after September 11 last year. Yeah, I said hi to a couple people at reunion and I was hoping to run into them again for more conversation than that, but then the evening was over and those people had left. That's why we have an e-mail address listing to at least catch up on a few things, right? I've got to get some fresh native sweet corn which is about my most favorite vegetable. So what else do you want to talk about?
Yup Pat I know what you mean. It was a good time to see everyone. I felt the sameway. There was so many of them there that I wanted to talk too but there just wasn't even time for everyone. Well you know what that means.
Sounds like we need another one before the 5 years. I may do it again, who knows.

Hi Evertbody, Even though I don't "talk" often I just wanted to let everyone know I will be leaving tomorrow evening for Colorado. Colleen and I wil be gone until next Sunday afternoon, we are really looking foward to it!!!!!! See ya'll when I get back.
Hi everyone, today I watched a video by Terry Cochran called "Life Happened". The storyline is her saying she ran into this one and that one from her high school class and how they hadn't followed their dreams because "Life Happened". She was bothered by this until she got to her reunionand realized that everyone had turned out alright. They just followed different dreams. I thought it was nice. Reminded me a lot of our reunion. I think we all turned out alright too. I wish I had more time to talk to some of the folks like Andy Warren who were there. I remember one minute I was talking with him and then I wasn't. I was such a gad about that night that I probably wandered from conversation to conversation without finishing anything!! It was wonderful to see so many people.
Hi John, I got pictures! Thanks. Brian's high school picture made my wife laugh till she cried and now my older son is thinking about growing an Afro. This is progress.

Sorry for the hold up on pictures. I have been very busy. I have brian's and richard's cd in the package. I just need to find the time this week to get them in the mail. The rest of you will get yours soon. I am trying to finish the video that I put together for this. I thought you would all enjoy to see. Hang tight, I haven't forgotten anybody. It's just time consuming on the video side. If I don't finish it soon I will just mail out the CD's to you all without it. But I think it will be worth the wait. Till then..... CHOW...... Don't worry I am still here.
