J, I kept trying to edit & the board wouldn't let me. I knew you'd jump all over it :>) Yea, they drink a lot here (especially at the Eagles) but it's mostly beer.
Mk, we're members there but haven't gone over much lately. My late father-in-law and his (also late) brother were fixtures there. Ask your folks if they knew Teddy (my F-I-L) & Cas. |

It was too easy, EB, I had to hit it.
BTW, there is something weird going on with this board. Lots of double posts, can't delete dupes, etc. I, and others, have emailed Lowell.
Beware of crashes. |

EB - Been having trouble myself on this site lately. Seems to be sighting errors often. Thus the double post.
You have to be quick with the edit button around here sometimes.
I will speak with my folks later today and will try to remember to ask. Will let you know. |

Yea, JC was having trouble yesterday. I won't say she caused the current problems but...............
Your folks probably knew the boys. Everyone there did. |

I'm glad you took that as a compliment. It was intended as such. |

MKap, are your folks in the same cottage you guys had in high school? I'll never forget visiting there one Labor Day weekend and getting my VW buried up to the axles in the sand. Thankfully, it only took 4 of us to pick it up and walk it out of it's ruts. |

EB - My dad did remember Teddy and Cas. Small world eh?
TS - Yes it is the same place. I remember doing the same thing and my bro getting a real intense case of poison ivy pushing the car out down by the easement to the beach. I mean baaad! Worse than the guy in the song.
Hey! What street did you live on? I guess I have not grasped who you are yet. Some other identifying info would be appreciated. |

Mk, pretty much everyone who goes to the Eagles knew the boys. Sure do miss them.
I'm sure I'd at least recognise your folks. |

MKap, this is Tom. I grew up on Lansdowne. Your brother Matt and I used to hang out in high school. Matt and I (along with a few others) spent a lot of time over at Dominican under the pretenses of working on the stage crew for the school plays. The last time I remember running into you is one summer night when you joined us when we went to Harpo's. Bizarre as it sounds, I remember that night because that was the night that Elvis died. |

TS - Elvis is dead? I thought they just said that he left the building.
Did you know Judy, Jeanne, Jonie, and Joe? They lived on landsdowne near Moross? We graduated w/ one of them. You would have graduated w/ another.
Thank you, thank you... thank you very much! |

Nice Elvis impersonation Mkap!!
Here's on for the group, we had a surrey similar to the one in this pic, although not nearly as fancy. It had wood seats and cheap tubing. We used to have a blast with this thing in the neighboorhood until Jim Kangas ran it into an elm and bent it all up. I never saw another around. Did anyone else know of any kids who had one?

Do you mean Sister Joanie? Yep, she was in my class at SJS. We kept in touch through college, we were at MSU at the same time. I lost touch with her after that, but I seem to recall hearing she followed through with her ambition to answer the call and become a nun. Can anyone verify that? |

That's a cool vehicle, Z, but I can't say I ever remember seeing anyone I knew with one. Kind of has a non-motorized dune buggy look to it. |

TS - I know she did not become a nun. I just saw her a couple of years back at a birthday party for her bigger sister. Also met her 20? something daughter. We must be talking about a different family as I can never remember her having the calling, but I remember her saying way back when she was ready for "connubial bliss". We had a good laugh over that one when I saw her. |

Family's last name starts with an H? I'd be surprised if we're not talking about the same family. Could be my memory is totally bonkers (a distinct possibility!). Lord knows it wouldn't be the first time. |

TS - Yep, begins with an H. Hmmm! Interesting. I never knew that about her, I suppose the next time I see her I shouldn't talk like a drunken sailor. When I talk w/ her sister I will ask about that. |

I was visiting in a nursing home yesterday and observed many residents glued to the tv set in a day room. Interesting to say the least. |
