Hi, if anyone found themselves arriving home last night with the '64 and '65 Gilliland Roadrunners in their hand, please let me know. Those 'party favors' are mine and I'd like to get them back!
Other than my Roadrunners going AWOL, I had a really great time last night. The hard part was that there were just so darned many of us to talk to. Thanks to you all for coming. Thanks Mike Arnow for showing up, even if you were late. What a nice guy you are! I agree that it would be great to be able to rewind the tape and do some stuff over -- with the perspective we have now. Thanks Genie Davis for indulging my rambling talk about art. Took me 40 years to get the nerve to talk to you, and turns out it was easy. Thanks Louie Langhi for coming down from Flag for this thing. Maybe someday we'll have the opportunity to sit and talk in a quieter setting. Actually, that can be said about a fair number of you. There was simply not enough time last night. And thanks Jeanette Demicell (sorry, I'm forgetting your last name) for being there last night, and for allowing me to tell you my little secret! I hope you had a good time, eh?
If any of you are ever up in the Seattle area, give me a buzz, and we can 'do lunch' or take a ferry ride.
Did you call Rustlers Rooste to see if the Annuals could be in a Rustlers Rooste lost n found?
As I drove home I was so awake I never even yawned once. I am so glad I came to see you guys. The first person I came accross was Cannon in the Parking Lot. Many many smiles last Night. Can not wait for the next one. If I missed anyone and they got their feelings hurt. I did not do it on purpose.
Larry,
I really enjoyed finally meeting you and visiting about all the interesting stuff we shared. As they say--better late than never. I also got a kick out of your MC comments last night--you're quite a funny guy. Thanks for all your hard 'tracker' work hunting those missing buffaloes!!! So glad you came all the way down from Seattle--and who would have thought that you live only 5 minutes away from my younger brother, Greg.
It shouldn't surprise you that 'Such a Mom' has your Gilliland Annuals! Isn't that what Moms do? Pick up after their kids? I'm surprised you didn't check with me first. You can have them back...for a price...someday, maybe.
Diane, is this retribution, or is it just Gilliland envy? Gilliland really was a better school -- in every way. And we were all humble, too, not like you 'city kids'.
I hope I didn't betray your confidences too much in my lead in. While we were on the phone Saturday afternoon I was thinking, 'This is GREAT!'
Larry,
This is unbelievable, I never thought Diane was a thief and a blackmailer!
I was thinking about moving her above the Hooters girls on my favorites
list, but now I don't know.
Tommy
