Have been off the site for a short time. So much seems to have happened. I was really sorry to hear of the passing of Madelon and Sandra's Husbands.
Very nice article on John Brown's father. I'm John is very proud of him as he should be. Obviously, he was a wonderful man. Good job Ann.
Julie, being married to Bob, I can't believe you didn't know more people in the "63" class. I haven't looked at all the pictures, but just seeing them briefly, right off I recognized Bob Berry, Mike Howard, Eddie Brown, Carl Sneed, Terry Mack and of course Milan. I saw a lot of familier faces, but couldn't put a name with them. I wonder what the "65" class will think of us when they see us.
Milan - (Pictures) - Who is the guy in several pics with the long white hair?
Judy Wilder - Have you seen my cuz Brad lately and if so, how is the family doing. Tell him I said Hello. By the way, since you live in Morton, do you know any of the Baum family.
Linda - First, we never threw eggs, Ha! However, we did throw corn at windows, we spun the notched thimble on windows, soaped windows and screens, rang doorbells, and the master of all, pinned horns. I see you made B-Day Wish about old goats. This place i worked at, had several people who always called me the ole goat. When someone asked me why they called me the ole goat, I said, because I am the GOAT. The Greatest Of All Time. GOAT! Now, about the AAA Baseball team. I'm certainly not the know all, end all of inside baseball. I have been associated with a few people who know way, way more than most about the minor leagues. The Class A, AA, and AAA leagues are the lifeline to a Championship team. It's the most important element for Major League Teams. The weather plays almost no part in where a team is located. I mean, there are Major teams in Texas, Arizona, Florida, Georgia (humidity), out East where it's cold. The real factors of where a Minor League team locates are very complex. Who is going to be their Major Affiliate, does ownership have the financial backing, what abatements will the selected city give up, will MLB support the move, what infra-structure will be required. These and many other factors are all done sort of behind the scenes first. Then it becomes a massive effort to Market the team.
Jack, I see the Whinner King may be back for the Bears. They got a break against GB. If they get past Detroit, it could actually be play-off time. I hope so. Not much interest on the site for the Breeder's Cup, but what a horse race. Best of the year. I really thought Wise Dan was the best horse, but with the Jockey change that day, it put a damper on him. However, I was so very happy for Gary Stevens. What a story. He is just one of the really good guys.
Ed, I have watched Baylor several times this year. Not that anybody is going to beat the Tide, but I would love to see Baylor, yes, the Baylor Bear play Alabama for the title this year. I think it would be a really great game. I know FSU and Ohio State have great teams, but if Baylor beats OSU and Texas as bad as they have everyone else, I think they shoud get a shot.
By the way ya'll in B/N. I'm still mowing my lawn and playing golf.
