The adopted one from Charleston
I just had to say what an honor it is to be
adopted into the 60's clan. What a thrill it was to meet some of my "heros."
I know I will miss someone - but what fun it was to be with Barbara Long,
Dizzy Lizzy, Jean and Gene, Dianne, Tom, David K. and his wonderul wife,
the young Donna 61, aka 81, Kandy, Barb, Jerry Long, Jimmy and Ruth Kent,
my neighbor Dusty, Doug, Debbie, Artie and the Char sisters - just to name
a few. I didn't mention John - that's a given by now.
I am most definitely looking forward to my
future after seeing such energy, talent and love that you all possess!
It was worth it to go out of my way to pick
up Gary, Woody and Alex - even if we did take the scenic route of South
Carolina. :) It was such a pleasure to really get to know these great people
- and I would even have driven further out of my way to be in their company.
And of course I HAD to see Sumter, SC while I was there - nothing like
seeing corn, corn, corn, the Exxon man - oh yeah - and Quig and his family.
And I even survived Salli's driving! Miracles happen! lol
Ardis will post more that goes into some
history of the trip - but I also have to say a BIG thank you to Ardis for
sweating in the SC hot sun to change my tire and to be willing to go on
"casual strolls" early in the morning with me.
This has been the best summer in a long time
for me because of you folks. Life is great!!!

Girl! You have more energy than any 4 people
I know and because of you I am entering an aerobics class. I have joined
a Gym, to shed a few pounds and the aerobics are just for you.
I will be in San Antonio next year and I
WILL BE READY FOR YOU. Accept this challenge, and meet me in SA. Don't
make me wait another year or I swear I will take dancing lessons.

Gaye,
honey, what a joy you are to have around!
Please come to every one of our future reunions (hope there will be many
for all of us!). BTW, the pre-60's clan also adopted you (classes of 57-59
were there too!). I have this wonderful picture of you that stands out
in my mind when I think of Sat. night on the USS YORKTOWN----you dancing
away (wow, what energy!) in your pretty dress with that beautiful smile!
What a party, and I am so glad you were there! So glad to have finally
met you and happy you are home safe and sound. See you at the next reunion!
Hugs,
