3/19: Received this from Charlie.
4/1: No, not April Fools, but just one birthday (that I am aware of). Valerie turns 39. Happy Birthday, Valerie, and many returns.
Oh, I should offer some kind of explanation for the 3 "page 54's." Had problems, and the techs at homestead went to work to resolve. This is the result. It was a pain, and that's why I've just let sleeping dogs lie. I will most likely get them on the case again to see if they can't remove the first 2 "54's."
5/24: Group of us got together for a week in the foothills of the Smoky Mountains in Gatlinburg, TN. See pic below:

We have finally come up with a time for the annual picnic reunion. It will be on August 22nd at 3:00 p.m. As usual, bring you own choice of beverage, and a dish to share. Any questions, just email, or give us a call.
8/23: Annual reunion (54th) picnic held yesterday. Official photographer did not attend (I think he ran out of photoshop ideas), so Alan Woermann took over. See pics below:

For the first time, Ace, and his bride, Nilda, were not in attendance. They were missed by all.

Thanks to our roving photographer for taking over in Dan's absence.
For those of you who may not recognize him, it's Alan Woermann -
going back to his roots.
Found out the reason why Ace didn't make it to the picnic. Yep. You guessed it. He was arrested again.
And Tony was almost arrested for indecent exposure.
