I hardly know where to start. First off,
Jerry is well, says hello, & swears he'll be back as soon as his computer
is fixed. He was feelin' GOOD. Secondly, David Kight is a 2-shirter. One
of the last things I remember is grabbing his ears & layin' a big one
on his lips. Thirdly, about that dumb ol' Navy boat? The Yorktown? Basically,
its color is a sedate puce with gray overtones -- but that's not the important
thing: those bad ol' MPs chased us off that Navy boat at 11:00 sharp so
they could get into their jammies & go to bed. We were having a lot
of fun, although not quite as much fun as Prunier, who was being photographed
all night with one of the Char sisters. Being our usual resourceful selves,
some of us necked on the beach & some of us looked at Jerry's feelthy
peectures, drank beer, and burped. Now the weird thing is, when I got back
home I had a cowboy hat & a tatoo. No, I have absolutely no clue, but
I think they were both a gift of some sort. Maybe a thank-you gift??? C'mon,
Steve, get me out of this! Barb'59

Would you believe battleship gray? How about
carrier gray?

Well I wouldn't have parted with my left
nut for a video tape of Barb's rendition of an "Ode to a Reunion", but
I would have liked to have had a copy. She may post the poetry here, but
print won't do justice to her delivery. I had Jerry Long primed with a
video cam if she repeated her performance at the dinner, but she didn't.
Damn.
Her farewell address to the troops was not
bad either, I watched three people cry.
