Wow, I was wondering where everyone went? Seems like not alot of people posting anymore, either they are all busy or just nothing to say. Now after being in this class and graduating with it I find it hard to believe that no one has anything to say. Seems it has gotten very quiet on this site since the reunion. Did every one say everything they wanted to say before the reunion? Come on people feel free to start posting again and coming up with suggestions as to having get togethers. I know that once school starts up you youngsters that still have kids in school will be pretty busy, but I am sure we can plan get  togethers where we can meet.

So come on lets show some of that spirit  we had both before the reunion and at the reunion. We dont want this site to go to waste now do we??

Mike:

Not all that surprising really.  We can see that we are still getting good numbers of classmates visiting the site each day.  We have a counter that counts how many classmates check web site (only counts you ONCE even if you visit several times each day).  The number ebbs and flows but is still about where it has been.  There has ALWAYS been a LOT of "lurkers" who visit the site.  "Lurkers" are those who look but don't post, etc.

As far as posting on the board, I think you will see it come alive once we get closer to an "event".  Tentitively, the first one will be at the North vs. West football game in September.  Details will be forthcoming on that one but it will be some sort of pre-game tailgate.

how long do we get this site...and if it has an expiration date, let's work out a follow-on site. It could be a special Facebook page or something else entirely. 

and if this site doesn't expire I'll be here frequently. it's bookmarked on my new mac and on the bar right next to my gmail and facebook bookmarks.

okay here's something new. I stayed an extra day at the Marina and flew back first thing Monday morning on the Mesaba 6:30 flight (met Pat Zemanek;s mom at the airport. she was flying up to Alaska to see Pat. now that is not easy. she had to get to Anchorage and then Juneau and then a float plane to Pat's lodge. nice......

and now there's another idea. booking Pat's Lodge next summer for a REAL Alaskan holiday. I'm very tempted to do it. )

ok I digress.

so I'm walking back to the marina after having bought my hooch for the evening and some dinner, and this young punk drives by really fast with his camaro or whatever it was, and he yells at me "HEY ASSHOLE!!!!"

And all I could do was laugh.

Bob...I always look when someone yells asshole, they are usually talking to me! A couple of years ago I was walking to work on a beautiful summer morning...deep in thought. Two of my medic buddies pulled up behind me and hit the siren...I had to look like one of those cartoon characters shooting straight up in the air...and of course I nearly shit my pants! I could hear those ASSHOLES laughing all the way down the street! Heck, what are friends for!?!? Naturally, I myself never participated in any pranks on anyone...that is why I was so shocked that someone would actually do something like that to me!

Mike...people get busy with the summer coming to an end. I've been on the run too! I would like to get a picnic going some Saturday later this month or next...maybe Stone Park?
