Blog 104: More Trivia and Other Stuff

True Confession:
I wrote this around New Year’s and forgot to post it. As always, I will be interesting to see how the formatting has changed when it is published.

Not Trivia:
Patsy and Tom Patterson
have moved from Houston to Tulsa to be surrounded by children and grandchildren. Moving that far at an advanced age sounds daunting. Patsy has been one of our most faithful classmates, never missing a reunion. For the past five years, Patsy and Tom have trekked over from Houston for the semi-annual Jeff lunch. At the lunches and reunions, Patsy was always seen wandering the group with camera in hand. Many of her photos have appeared in this blog. Memo to Patsy: look up Munson Fuller, also in Tulsa. Munson is one of those we rarely (never) hear from, so send us a report.

Laugh or Cry?
Today I purchased a replacement light bulb for our bedroom. When I got home, I was examining the box and noticed that it will last for 22 years…longer than I will.

We polled our class a few years back about what our class gift was. Two responses were from David Mills and Ben Williams. David thought it was a curtain for the stage and Ben thought we bought a refurbished grand piano. I vote with the former.

Next time I will include the contents of the class program, complete with songs, poems, dance, and a mime and skit. We did have a lot of talent. Some of it did not emerge until this program.
