A lot has been left out due to senior moments. Nice to be home in the good old USA, I think.?? Drop me line if you're bored.
I haven't seen many of the B-port folks, except for maybe Henry Kron, Jim Sorel and old neighborhood pal Tom Walsh, in quite some time. I like seeing the HS folks. I was going to attend the 40th but a detour to Kandahar changed that. Sad to hear about John Peers and Howie, makes me wish I had kept in better touch.
Update 12/0721 Pearl Harbor Day (that Navy stuff is really stuck in there). Here we are heading toward our 50th reunion year. Wow what a ride! We have all built some amazing memories and stories to be shared. This year I plan to make every effort to be 'home' for the reunion & I can't wait to hear all of your stories of travel, family, experiences, and acquaintances made along the way - please spare me the divorce sagas - seen & heard enough of them for one lifetime. Looking forward to seeing you all in 2022 - Go Boilermakers!
