Comments:

Divorced and remarried to the love of my life, Adele, in January 2014. Moved to Oklahoma City in March 2014 with a job transfer Still playing music, now with an alt.country band called Buddy South (buddysouth.com). We do some songs about M'ville, so take a listen. Love my sons. Like to fish, hunt and camp--so much so that I'm currently the Scoutmaster of BSA Troop 111 here in OKC! Spend as much time in a jon boat on tidal creeks in the Low Country of South Carolina as is possible, but it's a long walk from Oklahoma, so we're looking hard at a spot to ambush redfish and speckled trout down in Mississippi! Y'all come see us and discover why I'm never coming back!

School Story:

Dave Hare with a grocery bag over his head as the "Unknown Lead Singer" for Senior Show as he led our band, City Limits.

Trips to Jose's, Shiloh's Finest Supper Club! Using the deepest voice possible to order one of those bottomless pitchers of beer!

Both cul-de-sacs of General Longstreet Road--especially the quiet end!

Hop-Skip-and-Go-Nakeds with just a tinge of Hamre flesh, fresh from the blender in Rolf's basement, the Velvet Lounge and Grille.

Greetings, fellow Dawgs. I'm looking forward to heading from Indian Territory back to the Centre of the Universe first weekend in November. Plane tix are purchased and my muse and I are in. I have to let y'all know that as I write this, our friend and classmate, Rolf T. Hamre III, is in hospice and coming to an end of his fight with liver cancer. I suspect he will leave us all for the next destination within the next few days. Please put him and his family in your prayers. And if this news isn't enough to make you seize the day and make this 40th Reunion, then give me a call so I can work it out with you: 804.380.9848. I expect to see a large crowd of the Class of 1978 at this event. Please do everything you can do to be there. Carpe diem, my good friends. Carpe diem. --John Ran
