One or more trips down memory lane.

CLASS REUNION REDUX

I don't know about you, but I'm getting a little fatigued as I blog about Lois' Class of 1972 reunion a week ago. So, here are some closing thoughts.

• What a joy to see how how this reunion brightened up Lois. She obviously treasured her time with classmates.
• A lot of nostalgia was to be had. Both she & her classmates reveled in stories about the "good ol' days."
• If there was one disappointment, it was the low attendance. She & others obtained a mailing list & will try to update date contact information in advance of the next class reunion. [What this reunion lacked in quantity it made up for in quality.
• It would have been a good weekend to stock up on vineyard and/or winery investments.
• The FB & VB games provided a nice walk down memory lane.
• When the homecoming king & queen, prince & princess were announced, it brought us both back to 1970, when Lois was nominated for high school princess *; I was asked [It's a long story.] to be her escort; nobody told me I would have to rent a tux; & Lois was crowned Homecoming Princess. And, lest I forget, my sister played a prominent role in this whole affair. **

* St. Paul's College was still in existence, so it was decided that a college student would still be crowned homecoming queen. Adding a high school princess to the festivities was a first-time concession. Where was I? Oh, yeah . . . Homecoming in 1970 [Do I have the year right?] was where I was introduced to my future wife.

** By "affair" I'm referring to the beginning of a wholesome relationship, not a carnal one. ***

*** And you should be ashamed if you are even thinking that!

• The price is right is still right for lodging in Biltz Hall. 
• I experienced nostalgia, too. My time at St. Paul's involved some of the best year's of my life.
• I recalled some memories of my years as a member of St. Paul Lutheran Church. They were good memories.
• I recalled some memories of Concordia, MO. Many, but not all of them were good.
• I enjoyed treats from Creemee Freeze several times. [I still remember the year that they introduced a peanut butter sundae. For at least that one summer, their PBS out-scored our all-time favorite CF treat:  a hot fudge sundae.]
• I enjoyed spending time w/Lois' classmates & they did a nice job of including me and/or acting like they didn't mind my presence.
• Hail St. Paul's, my alma mater!
