Fifty years, phooy, it was just yesterday or last week that we met at Neds for pizza or was it the Orange Julius stand on 23rd next to Shepards Lake? Does anyone still drag Venice Blvd?

Let's hear it a cheer for Wilson, Hawthorne, Monroe, Harding Jr high, Taft Jr High and finally NWC. What a road in 12years. Graduated with many of you from Cowpoke U in Stillwater and then to the United States Air Force for 5 years with stops in San Antonio, Waco, Honolulu (interupted by a walk down the aisle while based in Hawaii) & Tokyo. First child, a daughter born in Tokyo.

Out of the Air Force and on to Tulsa with Skelly Oil Co. (first son born in Tulsa) and then moved down the pike after 3 years to Oklahoma City (2nd son born in OKC) and spent 25 plus years with the Oklahoma State Department of Commerce. Moved on to the health & fitness field for 6 years with a new center in OKC and I am currently enjoying my 9th year with the YMCA of Greater Oklahoma City.

Like so many of you I'm blessed with grandchildren (2 boys & 2 girls). In fact I cross paths with several NWC classmates at our grandchildren's school functions. Two of my children live in Oklahoma City and my youngest son and his wife live in Denver.

If you're looking for a good time before the June get-together I encourage you to hook up with the Reunion committee. We have a agreat time telling old secrets and war stories. We may be talking about you. Come defend yourself.

See ya June!
