Thanks everyone. Last night was special. Melissa and I had a great time. Headed to Chi-town today, so we will miss the picnic.

Hi Jim, Last time we saw each other was at the Calhoun Club,,lol...Have you stayed in contact with Jim Anderson by chance? I have tried to find him. I ran into him at MN state fair 10 years ago or so. He said he was in IT in Mpls.

I was wondering will there be a photographer at the reunion? My Son Alex is a professional and does weddings, other get togethers, is a licensed drone photographer too. He said he isn't busy that night. He also said he would do it for nothing but charge for the prints you order. I wasn't sure who to ask, so I am posting it here. Here is his website and facebook: https://www.facebook.com/AlexKingStudios/
http://alexkingstudios.com/ Let me know and who he should contact and I'll pass it on.

Anyone signed up to play Golf at the annual SW Golf Tourmament the Friday before? My brother Tom class of 66 is thinking of playing. I may sign up but I have a huge handicap...lol...my swing.

I've become quite the story teller. I have several tell me I should write a book. About my life after I turned 20 or so. Might think I'm bragging, but I have become well known or famous from the Industrial Trade I learned from my Dad. I have been teaching it around the globe for over 35 years and write on a few online forums now that I am semi retired. Several of my students have done You Tube shows on my classes I teach. My son is taking over my company or training classes when I decide to live up here in Hayward full time. Something we all have to do is to either forget about all our kid memories and never tell anyone or get together and tell the people we shared those memories with
who care. Sort of sad I guess. My kids told us once that all the drawers of photo's we have will probably be thrown away. My wife said she plans on making albums someday.

I was thinking about the dairy store kitty corner from the 5 and dime was not Oscars..I think Dave Renslow's dad owned that one. He graduated with my brother in 66. Oscars was the dairy store down on 44 th and Abbott I think.

I remember going into the drug store on 43rd and Upton and getting a Coke at the counter and buying 10 cent Nut Goodies...walking done the street to the bakery and smelling the fresh bakes bread, then down to Lipka's meat Market for a raw hot dog. Also going to the dime store next to the street car tracks and running across the street to Oscars or going to the Are Own Hardware store. When I was little my Mom worked at the Café behind the flower shop on the corner across the street from the drug store....so many memories I had hidden away... :-)

Mark, Nice to see you. I have so many memories of us in Scouts.....I tried finding you a few years ago....no luck....I now live in Cottage Grove, SE of St.Paul...Now and then I drive by the old neighbor hood and Linden Hills. Houses look the same. I saw Jim Anderson at the State Fair 5 or so years ago... Damn I am sure glad to see you !
