Dave, your wife is smarter than you think as she has been testing you with small jobs here and there. Better add some hershey's syrup to your milking to sweeten your excuses. And as far as healing I'm sure you are still on a leash for you haven't learned how to "heal" quite yet. Maybe sit, stay, come, fetch, and lay down by your dish! Oh wait that's me!
Thank you again for all your help and prayers for everyone! I'm getting one of those slings so I have an excuse not to rake leaves! 😄

Bob, aging isn't easy for some of us. I've been told that the secret is finding ways to smile more. All the work the reunion task force did (and Yvonne is still doing) was incredible. And, all of you had things to do besides the reunion, like family, work, and sleeping.

HAPPY THANKSGIVING Everyone! What is your favorite cranberries? Mine is the one that looks like a can. Takes a lot of work to make it look like it is a can..

Dave, that sounds liked a canned response.
Although I must admit I do prefer the jellied
Cranberries myself nice and cold.
I am also wishing everyone a very fulfilled Thanksgiving. Family time is what it's all about. So, create some fun lasting memories and stay healthy and safe in your travels. I had an early turkey as I was driving the speed limit, they passed me and gave me the bird.
I hope all is well Steve H. Thank you for maintaining the website!

I've posted the 50 year reunion photo gallery, and I've opened it up so that others can post photos there as well.

Feel free to add some pics!

All right. What is the most interesting Thanksgiving you had, best or worse (mine are usually the same thing)? I didn't even type the first word and one of mine came to mind. Let's hear from alll the ones here but hidden. You know who you are.... you told me at the reunion. You're a lot more fun than I... so can I hear your story?. Steve and Bob, even if it is a bird story.

One year I went to my sister's house for Thanksgiving and everything she made was - just awful. A turkey should never be stuffed with sauerkraut and two sticks of butter. The only food I ate was the pies I made, that's okay I like pie.

#2650

Ha! Steve B. Did you ever think that was her way of not ever wanting to put on a Thanksgiving dinner, or never again! I hope everyone liked your pies?
Thanksgiving one giant pot luck! It's really about family and friends sharing time and creating new lasting memories.

Unfortunately, I did not take any pictures at the reunion, so can others please share what they have.

Also, December is around the corner, so I am wishing a Very Happy birthday to all those classmates born in December.

So, a long story... skip if you don't want to hear or you haven't eaten yet. I'm still trying to find out if Sue would have enjoyed the sauerKraut, Steve. So, while stationed in Iraq; I talked the MWR into putting on a race insiide the compound (think a giant swelling city for a fuel point for HETS and other vehicles). I measured the course, contacted Perry from St. Paul cities' Run and Fun and he sent race numbers. I ran the longer race of a half marathon (13.1 miles). So after the race I was walking with Major Jensen (she was also our Chapel keyboard player). As we walked by a speed bump, the Iraqi's had filled the septic truck all the way to the top of the hatch. When the truck hit the speed bump; her and I were dumped with the most vile liquid (how do you say hepatitis?). The cooks out did themselves for the meal; so while standing in line to eat, soldiers asked, "Hey Chaplain. How is your day going?" I shared with them and they all groaned with a yech! I then shared; "But, having a nice day (Forest Gump's free will verses fatalism, "Crap happens) is a choice and I choose to have a nice day." Don't know if they believed it. By the way, I scrubbed before going to lunch for a long time!

Dave, thanks for that long "crappy " story, no longer have insomnia. I think you should have claimed it was chemical warfare and just have taken those tanker trucks and sprayed the enemy. They would have surrendered for a clean shower! Ha! I assume you are sling free at this point and you are healed up completely. Wishing everyone a fun, safe month of December. I don't know what is more dangerous the deer running in front of my truck or the wild Christmas shoppers running their shopping carts into me for that item on sale. Anyway, HAPPY HOLIDAYS!

Bob, are you implying my story stinks? Also, I'm not sure if I helped create something useful (Nine patents for the Toilet by Thomas Crapper) I would want you referencing my Name, calling anything nasty, "Fraz."

Bob, that was joking too! Hope everyone is enjoying the warm weather.

I came across this highly festive toilet paper. I find the idea of such up close, personal, and just plain TMI surveillance rather disturbing, either from the sense of a big brother conspiracy theory, or that it is just plain creepy. The "elf on a shelf" was bad enough

I came accross this meme, and it seemed to perfectly describe the sentiments of our class this year. I also added this as the last page to our reunion album.

Steve, that is why when we age, we want to and start to buy time. Have any for sale?
