IT was a hoot. So many of our mates have done so well, and it wasn't a
group of old people, but young folks in extended bodies.
People like Dave Gaskin with a constant smile, Jim Coffee looking every bit
the professor, Jim Thomas or Dr. Jim as we should call him as a resident
hippy, Harry Rosensweig with his Legend to be signed, Jackie Long as hot as
ever, Hinch and his other half, who made the trip worth while for me;
Earnie Horn, who is alive, and funny as ever, Tooker, Fertney, Grubs, and Jim
Guikama, all looking like a day hasn't gone by.
Then Rocky Landman, who grinned all night, Steve Konkle, looking like he
just got done with 6th period, Jerry DiTrapani, with Sue Ward, who fit right
in. I got to talk to Barb Eardly, and that was a high point of the
evening. Delmar Fast and his trophy wife, and Barb Frost with the same smile I
would recognize anywhere.
There were so many others that I can't mention, but I found it fascinating
how easy it was to talk to everyone. It is like 50 years had never gone
by, and it was just another night out at Sullivans.
Many who were not there were missed. I heard questions about Monette
Holms, and I did miss Karen Carpenter. We talked about Karen Anderson, and of
course those who are no longer with us, but still remembered.
It wasn't a night of talking about the old days, as I expected. It was more
a large group of friends coming together again, to discuss our lives, our
success and our futures. I was amazed how we seemed to mesh, and how
pleased everyone was to be back together.
In another 50 years, it will be interesting to see if we feel the same.
