Milan:

August 2014.

We had ice on our windshields.  I learned that if I tape brown paper sacks (cut open), that I don't have to scrape at all.  Just pull of the brown sack!   Beats me getting cold!

Merry HO HO y'all!

Linda...

Easier way...  Turn the wipers on and stop them about half way up the windshield by turning off the key.  Then lift both windshield wipers up... take an old blanket... open the passenger door and close one side of the blanket in the door... then pull it across the windshield, open the driver's door and put the other end in and shut the door.  Put the wipers back down to help hold the blanket in place. Done!

I've done it many times before I had a garage and it only takes a minute.

Hi Max:

It was cold in town and we iced up at work.   When it was time for lunch......I had to scrape. It happens so seldom here that I shouldn't complain.   Sometime I feel like a spoiled brat to complain at all!

Thanks for your info too!  I appreciate it!

Blessings to you and your's at Christmas!

I got this from Jack Keefe. I thought some of you would get a kick out of it.

Patricia (Pat) Rosenbaum

Milan, thanks for posting the picture of Ms Selk and Jack - thanks for finding this. It's priceless.   I'm sending a copy to her.   She'll be delighted.

Attention to profile changes. Please read and watch the video.

Great news! We have a brand new Classmate Profiles format on our class web site. The new format is much more dynamic and engaging and I think you'll really enjoy it.

Log into the site and click your "Edit Profile" link to see the changes. You can now do some new things like:

1. Upload a "Then" photo of how you looked in your high school years.
2. Upload a "Now" photo showing what you look like today. It's interesting seeing the Then & Now photos side by side.
3. Upload a "Yearbook" photo (if one has not already been provided)
4. Click the photo gallery icon in the upper right to add more Profile photos. It's now faster and easier to add any photos you want.
5. Click the videos tab then paste in a video link, such as a Youtube video link (just copy the web address of the video from your browser's address bar). Voila, the video has been added to your Profile!
6. Quickly toggle back and forth from Profile Edit view to Profile Preview view by clicking the button at the top of your Profile.

The Profile display now includes 2 new engaging features:

1. Classmates can make comments on various items throughout your Profile. Give it a look! If you prefer others not comment on your Profile items you can remove the ability to comment by clicking Edit Profile and turning off the Comments feature.
2. A "Latest Interactions" section is now included. This is an aggregation of interactions you have made around the web site. Note this new section is not displaying behavioral tracking. For instance where you go and what you do on the site is private, and not listed here. Latest Interactions only displays an aggregation of interactions already available on other areas of the web site.

Please log into the web site and take a look at both your Profile Edit screen and the Profile Display. I hope you enjoy these great new features!

Hope everyone has a Very Merry Christmas and a Healthy and Happy New Year!

Milan Jackson

I promised Mike Eddings some time ago that I would always be around to help where I could. We were reviving the dormant site at the time and I had a little more experience in the background. Jack Habich took care of the rest. Then the Class of 1964 came through. This is your site. Do well with it. I am only in support.

Linda Bristow (Elias)

Many thanks to everyone behind the scenes who take care of our website:  Jack Habic, et al.

Here's to a happy, healthy, loving Holiday for everyone with blessings, warmth, and prosperity for all in the New Year.

Don't we need to win that lottery?   I want that for all of our class!

Love to all, Linda

Ed Stanfield

Speaking of Habich..... where has he been lately?

Jack Habich

Ed, Habich just got done walking the dog and is trying to stay out of the cold.  Yuma kept pulling me to keep walking, but luckily, at some point, lifted his paw and wanted to stumble back home.

I did see Rochester-Geneseo and enjoyed it.  As I recall, they seemed evenly matched until there was a turnover or some mistake by Geneseo.  Rochester took the initiative and never gave it up.

Otherwise, Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays and whatever else to everyone.

Terry (Max) Maxwell

I would also like to take the time to wish everyone in the Class of '64 and your families a very Merry Christmas and a Super '14!   50 years is coming up soon!

Milan - thanks so much for the link - those pics were fascinating. 

Michael (Mike) Franks

Jack Keefe.

After a close examination of the pic taken in El Paso, I'm almost positive that the guy, with his eye on the ladies, is Carl LaFong.

He later became a Hollywood legend and is currently residing in an old folks home, in Mayberry. Heard that he had a thing for Aunt Bea? She was always know to be loose. Maybe you can verify?

This site is INCREDIBLE and I couldn't pass up the opportunity to share it with all of you! I hope you enjoy this site as much as I did! Copy and paste the link below into your browser then sit back and enjoy!

Hi class:

Pretty much.........all of us seem to be in a freezer modeeeeeee!

Spoke with a meteorologist yesterday.  He says we are experiencing a combination of the world's axis changing in keeping with a return to an Ice Age (reason for extra cold) mixed with global warming (reason for extra heat at times).  This combination is accounting for more floods, rough storms, and snow!

I remember some very harsh winters with DEEP snow in Bloomington, when we were in elementary school.

It sounds as though the Winter of our lives are really going to experience harsh Winters!

Please take good care of yourselves!

Linda

Michael (Mike) Franks

Damn! The Earth's axis is changing, we're headed for an Ice Age, global warming is going to cook us, the Chinese are exploding the world's population, and Iran has a nuke.

Here I was, worried about needing a left front tire on my truck! I just hope they don't stop brewing Miller Lite, or I WILL be pissed.

BTW.......Where does one meet a metorologist? I'm guessing a geek convention, or a singles dance?

Got to go......I'm applying for my Illinois AK-47 permit, then it's off to Colorado, for weed. Hope that tire makes it!

David Long

Ice Age - Front Tire problems - it sounds like you need to Call A Marine.....

For all my Marine friends and classmates.....

Mike:

Hmmmmmmmm.  Met the meterologist (at the geek convention) at the University of Texas at El Paso.  He fills in as a tv weatherman sometimes.   He also trains/ educates people to serve on tv as weather spokesmen.

Hmmmmmmm.   Singles what?   No way in hell!!!!!!!!   I'll die first.

Keep warm but keep that air conditioner available!  (You may have to roll up your pantlegs to go wading)

Happy New Year.

Linda

Michael (Mike) Franks

Linda, just teasing. I always enjoy reading your posts in this forum.

I'm sure that you know that we have just had 4, brutal days of Arctic winter here in B/N. Bet you miss that.....Right?  Only 3 months of winter left. We're all down hill from here!

No singles dances? Where else can you go and sing "YMCA", with other fools? (Oh, I know cirrostratus and cumulonimbus.........guess I'm a geek too.)

Michael (Mike) Franks

David,

"Call a Marine"  I've heard of them. Back in '66, they were drafting people too. It just depended on what day you had to report.
