        ONE THING THE PROHIBITIONISTS MASTERED WAS THE ART OF THE THREAT.

Jack Habich

Marilyn, I had mentioned earlier about the DUI stops in KY after you leave a wet county.  I'm almost positive one was in Grayson County.  I was going southwest from Elizabethtown, and luckily did not stop at any of the establishments that clustered the county line area.

Marilyn Evans (Tate)

Yep, Jack, you were probably there if you were south of E town. 

My mothers family lived near Caneyville. We moved there when I was five years old.  I still have good memories of living there. We were poor as dirt but it didn't matter to us kids.  We wondered all over hell and creation there and never worried about anything. Except snakes.

Jack Habich

Linda,

You noticed?  What a threat!  LOL

Marilyn Evans (Tate)

Catch you all next week. Leaving early in the morning for the Gulf Coast. At least we won't have to deal with any bad weather this trip.  Take care.

Happy Birthday Dick Briggs !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

And talking about Sheriff Buford Pusser, in 1977, when I worked for Herman Miller, we had a meeting in Sun Valley, ID. At the same time we were there, there was some sort of movie star convention there as well; actors all over the place, in the coffee shops, the gift shops, the tennis courts, the sidewalks, the pools……and the bushes.

Marilyn,  where abouts on the Gulf Coast?  We are headed that way at the end of the month.  Have to stop in Red Bay, Ala for motorhome work.  Talk about a dry county!!  We went across the county line to a liquor store to buy beer last year when we were there,  They sure were proud of it, twice as much as here but guess they can get it if they are one of the few to sell.

Have a safe trip.

By the way Jack did you recieve your DVD from Cheryl?  Watch it yet?

Ed Stanfield

Judy,

Every time you have a dry county at least in Alabama, the surrounding wet counties can sell their product at outrageous prices.... and if you think those prices are high, try buying from your local bootlegger in the dry county!

In my part of Alabama, the counties are kept dry by an unholy alliance of little blue haired ladies, preachers and bootleggers...

Judy T.,

Yes I saw the video (George's) of the '94 reunion a couple of times and think it's great.  Everybody looked youngish and bouncy and really enthusiastic to want to see each other as they walked in the door..  Too bad we don't have videos of other reunions, and too bad the last half of the '94 one is dark.

I was trying to figure out a way to put it on youtube and then transfer it onto here...but the video is too long for youtube and needs to be cut anyway because of the last half being too dark.  I'm not up on my video editing, but if George has any skills that way, maybe someday he could cut this video to a shortened version, usable on youtube and here.

Jack,

I can think of only one group of women who stand for a cause, that look as pathetic, disgusting, pissed off, unhappy, frown faced, and beaten down as the group you posted.  That would be 10 women representing MADD, most likely descendants of those in the picture.

Jack Habich

Rod,

I believe it was last year that one of the founders of MADD, now a real estate agent in CA, was picked up.  She blew over .20.

I'm not a propenent of drunk driving, but there is always a whole lot of hypocracy when it comes to the punishment of others.

                                                                                                                                  -Amen!

On another note...Jack, thanks for your efforts in making the class wealthy beyond our wildest dreams!

Habich for Dictator ! Vote NOw... Vote Often.... It's the Chicago Way!

Judy Tynan (Danielson)

Jack,

I greatly appreciate you not putting that video on U-tube, I can't believe I actually went out of the house looking like that and that George would allow it.  Everyone else looked great tho!!! Don't know if  George has the resourses to reduce it as when it comes to electronics I'm pretty much illiterate!!

Ed, as far as buying beer in Alabama we have learned to take it with us, much cheaper here in Ill.  I don't drink as much of it as I used too so it goes alot further these days.  Getting old I guess, but I do like Bud Select and it is hard to come by down there, also at a very high price.  Gotta watch the pocket book these days, SS doesn't pay much.

Have a good night all!!

Steve Jetton

Here's your treasury report …. Nothing much to add from Jack's email earlier in the day.  We've got $1,400 and change.   We still seem to get an ocasional donation but my feeling is we are about done.

Actually - $#@!$!, I can't get logged into the account right now and need to contact the bank to check on the exact balance.  There are three of us that have access (myself, Sandy, and Jack) and whenever somebody messes up typing in the ID or password they freeze access.  Bah.

Again, echoing Jack's comments, we started this because we knew we didn't have enough ($67) to cover the next payment for the website.  We figured it would be nice to get enough for the 3 year discount and you all astounded us with your response.

We are currently paid up until July, 2012.  Jack and I believe we should go for the 3 year deal ($249 vs. the annual fee of $97).  There is also a 5 and 10 year discount ($349 & $599) but given how rapidly things change these days, that could be money flushed down the sewer.

The only expenditure so far is the $100 donation made in memory of Sue.   I think we agree this was a unique, one time case.  Not a precedent.

The remaining balance could give the as yet unformed 2014 reunion committee a leg up on financing entertainment, etc. for the big 50th. 

This is the class' money and not to be spent based on the "excecutive decisions" of a few of us, so please share your thoughts.

Steve Jetton

I've been gone and need to catch up.  Looks like a lot of interesting stuff posted recently.  Just skimmed the current page and got a kick out of the talk of prohibition and dry towns, etc.  Remember years ago (70's) stopping in Mississippi after a long day of drivng and feeling the desparate need for a beer.  Walked into this store and was told it was a dry county.  Meanwhile the good ol' boys were standing around drinking beer and giving me the evil eye.  I knew I wasn't welcome and got the hell of there in a hurry.

Part of my trip was in the Napa valley.  Not dry there!  Good California wine.

Gerald (Jerry) Plummer

Steve, In the "for what it's worth" department, it seems you and Jack have correctly evaluated extending the website to three years and then make extension decisions based upon continuing website support and activity. 

All this talk about wet and dry counties/states  is fascinating since we've always been able to buy our wine, beer or liquor at Safeway and we live 30 minutes from both Carneros and Napa.

Jack Habich

The decision to go for three years on the web site instead of more or less was made with the advice of several “consigliaries”. Again, considering that we can ride for almost a year on the current ticket, we would have almost four more years of this web site. Brings us through the 50^th reunion.

Jack Habich

And now that we know that Jerry Plummer lives in close proximity to wine, beer and liquor, he goes right to the top of the list of consigliaries.

Milan Jackson

Keep in mind that this site is a bit of a Phoenix. :)

Rodney (Rod) Hayes

Here is a great idea Jack.  Some of those funds could be used to send Jetton and I, as representatives of the class, to a Wiffle Ball Tournament next spring to be held in Las Vegas. We could bring back pictures of us working out, running, batting & fielding practice, and of course playing.  What else is there to do in the Vegas Desert.  Or, a portion of the funds , (TBD), could be sent to me, so I could try to qualify for the Champions Golf Tour, at Q-School this fall.  Then, if I get through the Regionals, Sectionals, and Qualify, I will make more than enough to pay back the funds.  I mean, how fair is that.  If there is no response, Steve and I will start getting in shape for the trip, or I can let you know how much to cut the check for in the next week or two.  Just let me know.  I'm flexable.
