Happy Birthday Curtis - hope you have a great day!!
Tommy, I got a chuckle out of your response to my post on that volatile political thread. So you live in Georgia. Quite a change from Rockford, Illinois. I'm doing fine, recovering from open heart surgery and enjoying life. I hope you're doing fine too. Wow! We're 78. Can you believe it?
In 2018, I went to my class of 1968 graduation from Augustana College. I remember bumping into you when we were building floats for the homecoming parade in 1967, I think. Things have changed -- no more homecoming parade, no floats, and no Friendship Fair. It seemed pretty grim. Oh, well, glad to see you're alive and kicking. You struck a memory of Patti from our younger years. But Billy, I can't conjure up from my memory banks. Take care!
Happy Birthday Curtis - hope you have a great day!!
Thank you, Linda. Although I turned 76, I am celebrating my landmark 75th birthday this year in Cabo San Lucas, Mexico, since I couldn’t celebrate it last year due to that hateful virus. I hope you and Jerry are well!
Happy Birthday Curt - hope you have a great day!
I was glad to meet John at the 50th reunion. I never knew him in high school, but I did know his cousin Stan, who predeceased John. I'm so sorry that they are both gone.
John (nicknamed "Curly") lived two doors from me on Sexton Drive. We met when we were 5 years old, pulling our red wagons behind us. We both loved story-telling and writing and drawing comic books, for which I got in trouble in class at Jefferson Junior High. We were best friends all the way through grade school (first class to start in kindergarten and finish in sixth grade).
I lost track of him when I went to college after graduating from East High. I'm glad to read that he had a fulfilling life.
I never knew he served in the Army, stationed in Korea. I"m not surprised to read that he always loved reading and writing (as do I). I'm impressed that he got several comic books published and a novel as well. We certainly had plenty of practice telling stories to each other, chapter by chapter as we walked to school and even as we walked to downtown Rockford.
Rest in peace, Curly.

Hi, Neva. So you live in Honolulu? Very nice. I'm envious. Sorry you missed the Phantom Regiment's 60th anniversary bash. We had a great time. Very few of us left from the original corps. I heard Jack died a while ago. So sorry to hear that news.
