Apologies for the mis-spelled words. Google usually takes care of that, so I've gotten lazy.

Was Casella's on South Main next to the Bounce-o-Rama trampoline park? Before we moved to California in August of '62, my ideal summer day was spent at the Normal Pool, followed by a stop to bounce and then have pizza. I've been trying to remember the name of that pizza place and think this may be it.

Karen Sue (Suzi) Denton (Merritt)

Joan I think you're right.  I remember the same things you did.

How's Palm Springs?  Pretty warm?

Milan Jackson

Joan, that was Ragusa's

HAPPY BIRTHDAY JANE AND ELIZABETH!  HAVE A GREAT DAY.  🎂🍹🍨

Karen Sue (Suzi) Denton (Merritt)

Milan, you are soooo right.  I messed up.

Joan Pease (Clark)

Ragusa's! Now I remember - thanks so much, Milan.

And Suzi, we are sizzling in the desert! Hit a high of 123 degrees Tuesday, and it's supposed to be 116 today.

Did anyone else hang out at Velvet Freeze back in the day? That's my twin John on the end, and I look exactly the same, just taller. :-) The little blonde next to me is Carol Jones. Does anyone recognize the other kids?

Terry (Max) Maxwell

Did go to the Velvet Freeze.  My usual was a triple dip of lime sherbet.  Don't think that would be the case today.

Thanks to talking with Judy Neal at Mel Theobald's reception last week in Chicago, I learned that that Dave Holt's wife, Sandy and son Matt both have booths at the Spring Green Art Fair this weekend.  Met up with them today and we are going to dinner tonight.  Amazing what you find in a small town 250 miles from Bloomington.  Thanks for the heads up Judy.

Terry (Max) Maxwell

Update:  Went to dinner with the Holts and found out that one of Matt's paintings was judged as Best of Show!  Then Dave & Sandy came to our house to visit and have a beer.  Great evening catching up with an old Purple Raider and family.  Is the Class of '64 the greatest class to ever walk the halls of BHS or what ?!  (Hint... the answer is YES!). Sorry Milan.

Melvin (Mel) Theobald

Max, you got it right, even after your apology to MIlan (ditto that). I'm so grateful that you are part of our Raider family. No one knows how devoted you are to all of us. I, for one, want to say thank you for going so far out of your way to hold all of us together. So what did you and Dave Holt have for dinner?

Terry (Max) Maxwell

Just went to a local watering hole.  So beer... and I had gyros.  I think he had a California burger.  Not sure what that actually consists of... other than burger 🍔 !

Melvin (Mel) Theobald

Max, Joan, Milan, Alida, Steve and everyone else,

Ooohhh La La! Why is it we always end up talking about food? Ice ceeam, root beer, pizza, gyros, burgers and beer. Never mind, I think I just answered my own question.  I love you guys.

Terry (Max) Maxwell

Because we are always hungry and we like to eat OR because we like to eat and we are always hungry?!

Karen Sue (Suzi) Denton (Merritt)

HAPPY BIRTHDAY GAIL, HELEN AND JERRY!

HAVE A GREAT DAY!   🎂🎂🎂🍻🍻🍻🍰🍰🍰🍷🍷🍷🍧🍧🍧

Judith (Judy) Winquist (Neal)

Joan, I loved your picture at the Velvet Freeze. I remember some good times together when we were young. You and John never changed much as you got older. I would know you both from your pictures anywhere.

Max, (it is still hard for me to think of you as Max instead of Terry, but I will call you Max since that is your preference) I am so happy that you were able to meet up with Sandy and Dave. They are a great couple and a lot of fun. I hope you got to see Matt's painting. He is amazing and so very talented. Lastly, thank you for making the trip to Mel's opening. It meant a lot to him and everyone. BHS class of '64 is a special group of people.

Milan, thank you so very much for keeping our class connected!

Terry (Max) Maxwell

Correction:  Just came from the art fair.  Visited with the Holts again.  Matt's booth got the Best Of Show, not a single painting.  Thought I'd better clear that up.

Allida Frisch (Altemus)

Mel maybe the reason we are always talking about food on this site is that it brings back such good memories! And also in some ways the food was better then or at least I remember it that way!  Love "talking" with all of you guys!

Helen Nicolaysen (Thompson)

Thank you for the Birthday wishes Suzi! Helen Nicolaysen Thompson

Michael (Mike) Franks

Helen Nicolaysen, I am extremely saddened that my friend "Fast Eddie" White has passed away. I was well aware of the struggles that he had to endure, these past few years. Eddie was one of the most fun guys, that I have ever had the pleasure to work with. I will miss him!  I do see his son Bill on occasion.

Janet (Jan) Hitzner (Fries)

Mike, I so agree with you about Ed.  Alyce and Ed have been good friends of ours for many many years.  He will certainly be misssed.

Michael (Mike) Franks

Thanks, Jan. I never realized that it was such a small world. I hope that you are well and that life is treating you kindly.

Janet (Jan) Hitzner (Fries)

Thanks Mike, I certainly hope the same for you.  Did you know that your son worked for my husband several years ago at BOPT?  It truly is a small world.  Please take care.

Janet (Jan) Hitzner (Fries)

Looks like I miss spelled BOPI
