Hello everyone, yes I am still alive and well in North Carolina. I would have liked to attend our 40th but I guess you will just have to all keep healthy and see me at our 50th.

I am having a wonderful life with a bright and talented family, musical, artists, auto mechanics, party animals, you name it someone in my family has probably "been there done that."

It was so neat to see the old photos of our other reunions, boy I look pretty good, maybe I shouldn't spoil the image, I now have a lot of white hair, but I am still sweet and loving as ever. :-)

I wish I could greet you all in person. I could setup a video feed if someone at the reunion has a computer to hook up, that has a video camera. Just let me know by sending me an email. Maybe on Sunday sometime or late on Saturday, sorry for the short notice. Here is my cell number 336 693-9205 if you want to chat.

Not much to say but I had one hell of a great time in high school. If I were to try and remember one particular story it would have to be the Jokers and the Debs, we were real cool.... But I hadn't touched a drop of achohol the entire time I was in high school. I would watch as my classmates would get drunk and pickup big logs and throw them across the campfire during "Hell Week". Bottom line I was always the Designated Driver (DD). Finally at our graduation party someone thought it would be funny to spike my seven-up with some vodka. Well, it was the first time I had ever been intoxicated so remembering what happend to my friends when they got drunk I decided to protect those around me by taking my belt and tieing my hands up around the coffee table leg before passing out. I woke up later wondering how I ended up on the floor with my hands tied to the coffee table. As would be expected I couldn't remember who spiked my drink.

I must have been a real boring guy with all my sports and steady girlfriends (Marti Bowen and Connie Fortner) I really didn't get around much. Anyway I send my love and good wishes to all of you.

Best to All,

Paul Anthony Justad
