More laughing, and hugging, and dancing, and dining, how can we go wrong?
Count me in!

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 proverbi!
al pot that you are supposed to relieve 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

same evening.
