I used to live in the corner Apts. Fernwood & Griffith Park Blvd. I went to Joshua Tree with you and your Mom & Dad. We almost died from dehydration when we went to look at an old mine, as boys do when they think it's OK. We also used to make ourselves pass out by blowing on our thumbs after taking quick breaths. You were ahead of me in school. Do you remember Me ? I am living back in the USA since the last 50th Reunion in 2012. I lived in Australia since 1970. I now live in Phoenix, Oregon 541 531 1601 Surprise me !

Hi John, It's your turn again, Hope you have a great day, and you Will have many more to come. But, if you turn your age around it reads 27, so on your next Birthday you will be 37, Feels Good doesn't it ? We'll meet again, maybe when I'm 37 next year. That's my wife, she is having breakfast...we love our Apples. Our garden beds in June. A month later.
I Love Oregon !

Hi John,
It's your turn again, seems as though you just had one. Times just keeps marching on, like our days in the Army. Hope you have a good Birthday, I just had my 71st on 17th September but nobody knows mine, because I didn't graduate from Marshall thanks to my Dad taking us to Australia in Summer of 61. So I never finished high school with you all. I did finish when I was in the Army over in Germany from 63-65 I got a GED diploma. I joined when I returned to California in March of 62. couldn't wait to get away from my folks. My Mother hated Australia and made life hard for my Dad until we returned to California.

Do you remember Sharon Taylor at the 50th ? well, we have been together since then and are getting Married on the 19th of October. We live in Phoenix, Oregon, as you might know but we are going to Australia in November until next June. I still have a house there, which I am going to sell. I love being back in the USA, and I like Oregon very much. I have a lot of unfinished business in Australia in order to return, also my personal possessions need to be shipped back.

Just a little info for you, and wishes for your Birthday, have a good one !!

Regards,
Carl

Hi John,
Yes it is Skin Cancer. I have had this problem since my early 40's, too much Surfing in Australia, thought I was invincible "it won't happen to me" but it did. Thanks for your concern. Yes I am living in Oregon half the year the other in Australia, haven't sold my other house there yet. I don't want to be there anymore, I Love Oregon and the USA.
How have you been ?
I am leaving for Aust. in Nov. until next June 2015 unless house sells before then.
Take care,
Carl

My friends small kangaroo's (Wallaby) They grow to about 3ft. I hand feed these, as they come to the house and beg. The female often has a baby in her pouch.

Another type of wantobe, grows to about 6ft. Please don't feed.
