Hi Vickie, fellow Cruce St buddy, remember when we used to race each other home after grade school?

Hi Karen, haven't seen you since high school, looks like you have had success in your professional life, how long have you been in Florida?
My F-4 Phantom Society met in the late 1990s in FL, met & got autographs of the aircrew who shot down MiGs in Vietnam.
Do you remember accompanying the octet I was in at West that won a Superior?
Hope to see you at our 50th NHS reunion.
My mother died early Nov. of COVID at an assisted living place in Santa Fe where Margaret also lives in the hills with her husband, a retired attorney.
I'm still running distance, planning to hit 70,000 miles next Aug.
This will be my 13th year as Accts Payable for a mortgage lender with 500 employees, we have gone to Mexico on company trips & plan to early next year--we hit our annual goal in Aug.

Jim, haven't seen you since our cross country days.
My sister and I moved our 94 year old mother from Norman's Rivermont to Santa Fe last Dec. Our house on Cruce St has been sold, then again put on the market.
This is my 8th year as Accounts Payable at HQ Colorado Springs for a mortgage lender with offices in several states; have lived here 31 years, the first 16 in revenue accounting for Colorado Interstate Gas. Also served 20 years part time in Air Force Reserve, now I'm getting the monthly retirement checks since turning 60 in Dec. Still running distance, over 64,000 miles since high school. Member of an F-4 Phantom fan group, go to various bases to get autographs from the MiG-killers and other aircrew and groundcrew; a German guy will meet me this Sept in Alamogordo to help celebrate a German aviator
group reunion and sell some T shirts, and patches from the last Phantom Phlight in Germany. Then our Phantom group meets the next week.
Be glad to hear from you, good buddy...
