Hey Louis,

Hope everything is well with you. I've been neglecting my replies--sorry. A long time back we were Ridge Road Baptist Churching it on Sunday mornings. Your big family has really grown. I hope Travel Experts has taken care of your travel needs. Come on over--I do really love it over here, but miss those Raleigh days dearly. Come on over.... :-)

A zipping fast ball blowing batters away. Dock really graced the baseball diamond at Jaycee Little League Park. With a powerful home run swing too! Remember looking over from third and seeing Dock's most loyal fan (his dad) stretched out along those concrete seats proudly watching that son of his.

Happy Birthday Billie Jeanne and thanks for the lift back from the reunion. :-)

Hey Judy, Susan, Barbara, et al.

Who is on the committee to keep up with our 'In Memory' posts? Could you forward this message to them? Thanks. :-) Jeff Brandon, Mike Dodd, Johnny Temple. et al.?
Also photos and coverage or our 55th reunion?

Hey Larry,

I really enjoyed seeing you at the reunion. You are very accomplished and interesting and draw many of our classmates around you. Hope to see you again in the not-so-distant future. Dan(ny)

Happy Birthday Jeff. It's been a long time since we were chatting together in Fayetteville before our freshman game against each other--of course you played for Duke and I played for State. Those were fun days.
Take care.

Besides being a terrific athlete, Mike was a good friend. No better catcher in little league baseball at the J.C. Park than Mike--He led Coca Cola to a number of championships. Remember his proud mom attending every game for that son of hers. Too young Mike, and so sad--we will miss you.

Hey Jack, and Happy Birthday. I remember back during our b.ball days when Chuck Anderson warned me about this hotshot from Daniels who was going to steal my thunder with his great outside shooting prowess. I couldn't believe that would be possible, but boy was I wrong--you could really bury those long ones. Hope you are doing great, and if you see Chuck, tell him he was so right--but I was a cocky disbeliever. :-)
