Reunion

So, we're having a re-union.

The "re" in reunion means that we were a union at one time. There were 54 or so of us back then and despite some misgivings, we were a pretty tight little group. It must've been the pickle juice at the Concession Stand that kept us emotionally healthy. (Sometimes I think the Concession Stand served as our version of Facebook and Twitter).

Time and consequences have had an effect on our little class of 1975. We are fatter, scattered and fewer in number. We can manage the "fatter" part (I keep telling myself that) and to some extent, the "scattered" part. But, there's not much we can do if God decides our time here is over.

Since May of '75, we've said goodbye to 6 of our classmates: William Miller, Gary Brewer, Jack Greenway, Kip Reep, L.B. Johnikin and Dan Tucker. I wish they were still here.

What's the alternative?  Live today as if its your last day on earth. Love your family and friends. Worship God and not material things.

And come to our 44th reunion on August 10th, 2019.

Keep on truckin'

-Ken
