Pat, Sorry to surprise you so! The question is "Am I hot?" The answer is "Yes, I think I'll go swimming now!" 82 degrees and sunny here. Have fun this weekend.

Oh my god Richard!  I can't believe you said that!!!  Alright it's true by jeez.  so where ole Gus anyhow?  Rick Fagan, honestly I can't find photo of him in the yearbook.  A man of mystery.

So I need you or someone please please to send me a copy of your last received list.  I made so many changes to the last one and now that I've messed up my computer I want to send it out with  Kathi and Rick and the rest of the names and addresses being correct.  Ya know?  Thank you whoever takes pity of me. 

Roland you asked about the informal camping reunion the was being talked about the past spring.  I don't think John L has mentioned that for quiet a few weeks now.  Given how close to the end , I hate thinking that, of summer I sorta think that's not happening.  That's just my thought.
Hi Kathi, Great to see you connected.  Remembering your local veggies was a stretch, but I can remember.  I hope that life after veggies is OK! 

I visit Springfield rarely, but have liked the few new people that I have met and like the new things that some people are doing.  My Springfield neighbor, Melissa Lovell, is with a man that is harvesting unique timber and is pretty all-around clever.  Halley Whitcomb rules the recycling center with an iron hand, but probably has to with the SUV crowd.  She is otherwise a great spirit and living in a place that I miss.

Pat, You remembered Gus Morin because he was a "hottie", but not Rick Fagans?  Clearly, some local talent slipped under your watchful eye.  Rick had a good sense of humor and a "why not enjoy life" attitude.  I hope he still does.

Welcome Kathi!!!!  Great to hear from you and that you still have a garden. My mom used to get veggies from your familys stand and our relatives that visited from the "flatlands" too.  Wow,  32 years....... I just don't feel the years (yet ha ha) but times jsut keeps clicking away. 
 
If you're reading Rick and have figured this thing out welcome too.  Its great to keep in touch or just read the goings on after so many years!  I found this through classmstes and even went back to my gradeschool in CT and correspond with one of the kids from there!!
 
Any work on a reunion yet?  I might not be able to get back up that way until next fall now but I'd still try. I might be back on the road again but just in the SE. We'll see. 
 
A new house always gets you wondering and new experiences. I had one this am while making my coffee. Ilooked out the window over the sink only to find a HUGE doe staring back at me!!!!!!   I was excited. She preenede for a bit then grazed on the gras I should have cut last week and disappeared into the side woods. While walking around the "estate" this evening I found why they visit. I have a fruite bearing pear tree there I plan to uncouver and nourish
Hi Kathi, yes indeed you got it figured out.  I'm glad to see you here and the others when they come back from here and there will be as well. Did I mention in my last note to you that Sue Cass is Sue Goding? 
I'm working on sending out the new listing but having trouble with my computer and so I may be recreating the list.
take care - patti

Hi Everyone.
  Thank you for the invite.  I'm not exactly sure how all this works.  I appreciate the kindness shown since my brother Kevin's death in Iraq on May 25.  I am still living in Springfield.  I have 3 grown children, 1 grandbaby who is almost 2, all of whom live away from Springfield,  and the same husband of almost 32 years.  We do not have the Veggie business after almost 30 years but do have a huge garden.  I would like to hear from you.  Thanks again for the invite.  Kathi
Hello out there everyone!  I'm back.  We were on vacation camping for two weeks (I really recommend Prince Edward Island) then my poor computer went into the shop and came back some days later with my needing to put back all kinds of programming  and other stuff.  All my addresses are gone and messages I had saved in my e-mail probgram.  Lots of trouble and lots of frustration.
Oh well. 
Today I heard from Rick Fagans would wishes to be added to the class listing.  Consider it done.  I've sent both he and Kathi (Sheehan) Stern invitations to the blog site.  lets' hope to see them soon.  I'll admit I don't remember Rick Fagans at all.  There is no picture or other inf.  on him in the yearbook.   anyone????

We up here are not fans.  No everyone, just those of us who didn't enjoy the drug lifestyle that arrived with them and sadly took down  many of young folks.  I'm no innocent.  I did my thing at CSC and enjoy myself but as a parent I have a different take on it.  The trouble left behind by the concerts did not make the money made in the county worth it.
