ReplyDeleteI can never figure out how to read your stories on here Jim. Do you have to belong to this group in order to read the stories??
ReplyDeleteI liked your critter photos and your reunion photo. I'm so glad you are not one of the deceased!!
I hope Cliff didn't get flooded out. That would be bad!
Jim, How come I didn't know you were in the same class with my sister Ruth? I didn't know until I saw her in the alumni pic below.
ReplyDeleteIt was good to see you then and thanks for the call. The river has given us a good scare but seems to have crested but they expect the crest to remain for about two more months. A gross miscalculation by the Corp of Engineers. They say they went by the book but it's evident that the book was wrong. VERY wrong.
btw, I remember all of your uncles.
haha- i wonder what order hilda was!
