OK, so here's the deal. We've all gone through a lot. Some good and some pretty bad. Some of which you all might want to share, and some of which you may not. Some of which we find humorous and would share with the world, and some of which was gut wrenching and we'd just as soon not relive it. In my case, I've loved and lost and traveled and seen more than I could ever have anticipated as a cocky little kid walking out of OHHS back in 1959. I long ago stopped patting myself on the back for what turned out right, and I also stopped beating myself up for my screw ups. It was all bone head luck after all. At this point in my life, I don't care how you dress, or who you dress with for that matter. Personally, I'm a portly old man, who's tickled to death that I can still find my car in the supermarket parking lot and go out and play golf with my friends a couple times a week. I'm certainly not wealthy, in fact more to the point, I don't even have that proverbial pot that you are supposed to re
lieve yourself in. What I do have is fairly good health, except for the arthritic back and a little COPD left behind from years of enjoying my Winston's; I also have a do-over wife that is my very best friend and cares for me with a devotion that amazes me every single day. I have my 5 kids who have made good lives for themselves and their families, and 11 wonderful grandchildren.
Right now, what I really20am interested in, is this one (probably last) opportunity to share a little quality time with a group of people that I love; and as I hear more and more about your successful and fascinating lives I find myself very grateful to have crossed paths with you all. Oh yes, we should cherish this opportunity to once again laugh, and hug, and dance, and dine, with all of those "kids" who so many years ago were instrumental in shaping our lives.
That's my story and I'm sticking to it.
See you soon,
Steve Konkle

How about we cancel the reunion and just stay together on the internet.
hat way we can sit in a comfortable chair and lie about what we look like, how
uch money we have and the cross dressers won't have to worry about having
roups of old friends tittering and pointing at you.

And, a little seltzer down your pants.
I can eat, drink, hug and dance. Just not at the same time. Maybe not
ven the
same evening.
