Looking for classmates who have an amateur radio license a motorhome a sailboat and who are interested in traveling by motorhome or who wants to meet in Las Vegas - I love Vegas and flying there for a few days every now and then. I am back at my Florida home now, so anyone coming down this way be sure and contact me and I will be more than happy to meet your for coffee or tea and tell you what I think are the best places to go and see, stay and eat at. Anyone who will let me add them to my file let me know treasurekettle at the yho thingy.

This was before emailing or typed labels were socially acceptable. My director's wife had party's monthly and the guest list was over 500 people. My only demand was that they had to provide me the cards and envelopes no less than a month in advance to give me a week to get them sent out and 2 weeks for them to get the reply¿s so a correct order could be sent to the caterer. Yes I ended up doing all the work with the caterer. But I also got invited to all the party¿s and not like others, I went. Most of the time the secretary¿s got saddled with this chore and hated it but was afraid if they didn't do it their job would suffer. Which was usually true back then.
