It was a fun 2 days.  I got to see many friends, some of which I handn't seen for many years.  Bill Ralston had a bunch of pictures from the 'Old Days' which were fun to look over.  It was amazing how little that people change over a 50 year span.  Sure, most of us were a little heavier....but after talking a little while you could tell that each person seemed just as they were 50 years ago.  After looking through the pictures I realized I missed a few people. I missed getting a picture of Bob and Linda Wallace.  I'm sorry for that. And, to get a picture of my own brother, Joe, at the dinner last night. But, I do have one of Joe Tabler and Bob Wallace in the golf team pictures. But, I missed Linda Wallace all together.. Sorry Linda.
Thanks to all those who made the events.  It was fun.  Sorry to have missed those few who couldn't make it.
There were rumors circulating about doing this again in 10 years.  Maybe in 10 years I'll just send this as an email and tell everyone we did it....nobody would remember anyway!
