I remember most of the faces in our class. High School was a fun time for me. Then I went on to KU. My wife and I are headed towards 38 years of marriage. We have one daughter and three sons. When we were married, I was V.P. in charge of manufacturing for the Green Jewelry Company, then located in downtown Kansas City. This is the company which made all the athletic and scholastic awards which Bob Deane, Warren Haskins, Elbo, and other jocks and egg heads (who got all the girls) wore on their letter sweaters. I didn't get any awards, as they didn't give them out for Eighth Hour, which is where I went after school most afternoons. I also didn't get any girls, which is why I was still around to marry Cindy, who is a looker and absolutely darling in every way! I retired early, because I am so smart. (Wrong.) I developed a condition known as spasmodic dysphonia. That means I have permanent laryngitis. Some of my friends say that it was a blessing from God! It is not serious, only irritating. It caused me some problems, particularly on the phone. I was a partner in a natural gas pipeline company, and decided to sell out and enjoy life, as I was frustrated by how hard normal communication over the telephone was for me. I tell you this story, as what I am doing now, is probably the last thing anyone would guess. I do Marriage and Family Counseling at a mega church called James River Assembly, located just south of Springfield in Ozark, MO. I volunteer there, and do between 100-150 couples or families per year. But to be honest, I really like retirement much better than work or service, as I enjoy spending my time with Cindy. We love going out on Table Rock Lake in our boat, when the rest of you leave town after the weekend. We tie ourselves to the boat with a line, turn the music up loud, and float until we are good and ready. Some days that is a long time! Hope to see you all at the reunion!
