Football Game

[Phil Clarkson]

Is anyone going to the OPRFHS football game on Saturday before the reunion?

I'm planning to go. I hope other people are. I don't want to go by
myself! Anybody else?

Also, while I'm online here - I picked up one of Joanie Baehler Baur's
books. I really enjoyed it! I'm don't know much about young adult lit
but I thought it was excellent. Joan, you are such an accomplished
writer. It was a treat to read your book.

Kristy,
How about bringing Joan's book to the Friday night deal. If she
doesn't make it, at least we can read her book.
I don't know about the football game. Craig doesn't understand
football, so I might me pushing it. We'll talk about it Friday.

Hi--

Kristy, thanks for picking up one of my books and posting your nice
comments. Most appreciated! Even though I told Phil I can't make the
Friday night get together, I keep trying to figure out a way to do it.

Here's to quick healing of all shoulders, arms, and various body parts.

Okay, back to things here,

Joan,
I am holding my breath. We'd rather have you than the book any day.
Actually, both would be the best.

Hi all -

I have been so swamped with work (and our new labrador puppy, I had
forgotten how much work these little guys are) - have been enjoying
some late night reading of all your postings and trying to remember
some of the things that are being tossed around. Didn't realize my
memory was so bad - - I must have been snoozing when you were all
running around - - - (ha, ha)

Just signed up to go to the game - Carol (Benson) Puchalski just
emailed me and she and I are also going to some lunch/coffee thing at
the school before the game and may be able to sneak a peak at the
school. Would love it if anyone else would join us. Sorry if I missed
a previous post and you are all planning to be there - which would be
fabulous.

This is going to be a blast. So far our weather has been great this
fall and I am hoping it continues to be so next weekend.

Pid & Carol:

What's the thing before the game? I'd love to get a peak at the school.

Hi Phil,

The reunion website (http://www.oprfclassof69.myevent.com)
says that a breakfast and tour probably won't happen but that
the Alumni Assn has a lunch social before the game every year....
on the mall behind the school. $7 cost. Thought it would be
fun to attend, get there a little early (of course used to tailgate
parties at CU!) and maybe the school will be open too.

Carol --

Thank you! I'm writing like crazy here trying to tie up this book in
time. I should know in a few days if I can pop out. I'd really love
to do it. Either way, I'll bring/send some books.

Joan that would be so great if you could make it!

[Irene Boutzarelos]

Mary and I were hoping to do just that! Would love to see the school.... my old locker.

[Carol Lumkes Vetter]

Irene,
Do you really remember where your old locker was? I don't think I
could find my homeroom!!!!
Carol

[Irene Boutzarelos]

Yep! Dave Mackey was the "boy next door". We had quite the banter
going on for four years! What fun! I don't remember the number....
something 24.. or 4, but I know where it is,I think. I did do my
student teaching at OPRFHS. So I did re-aquaint myself while I was
there. But that was a long time ago, 1973. Homeroom.... now I am
stumped there...I think it was in the basement.... lower level.... Mr.
Ralph... not the first homeroom teacher, but the one I remember. We
were the M's. I sat in back of or near guess who?Yep, Rick Michod.I
think my jabbering with Sue Millanos aggravated him. He was always
snarling at me! I think I had it coming. Perhaps I was dealing with
some unforgotten issues. Ho!Ho! Ha!
Seriously, I have no idea why I remember crazy little details. I
visualize it.... I see it like a movie in my head.
As I read the emails I see everyone with generic middle-age bodies
but with their Jr. High heads,crazy, huh? I better not say too much
more or everyone is going to be afraid to come to some nut-job's
house! The fundraiser I am chairing is over Friday. The mural for
the Library is right on schedule, The fashion show which is after the
reunion is on automatic pilot, and I am ready to rock and roll! Do
not be afraid! I can't believe we are talking a little over a week!
Yikes!

I sure remember where my 8th grade locker was, Carol......because I
also recall that you stuffed it with silverware stolen from the
cafeteria!!! Opened the door and it all crashed out. I then recall
falling down the stairs and putting a serious dent in one of my, er,
cheeks (not facial). Do you remember? You were one crazy chick.......

Well, I tried, but I'm not going to be able to come out. I've got to
get this book in on time and It's just not ready yet.
Sorry to miss this. Irene, if you'd give me your address I'll send a
few of my novels along.

Have a ball!
