You know one of the things that keeps happening to me with all the damn pills I have to take is, I going blind. I have to take these steroids and for some reason they cause your close up eyesight to get real fuzzy and distorted. Of course all my family says I can't spell anyway so what difference does it make. You know to a certain extent that is true, but because I have been writing this blog each day, my typing skills have improved so much my fingers can see what my eyes can't. But what I really wanted to comment on today was Tom Whitney.
I know he sent me an email saying he was going out of the country to see some of his family members. I'm not sure how many of the classmates know how much work he put into getting that roster together. He and I spent a day together one Saturday and he was explaining just what king of work it was to put that thing together. He then spent the time to do it for the class of '61 because his wife graduated with them. I guess she only went to LCC for one year, but somehow he was able to assemble just about as much info. on them as he did for us. I've written to some of the class that are not on Facebook and tried to get them to do so. I know that some are not as computer knowledgeable as others, but I think it would be neat to have as many as we could on the FB by the time we had the 50th. We might be old in the eyes of some of the students at LCC, but we all know we are still young at heart. I think it's a kick to hear from someone you have not spoken too for 30 or 40 years. Believe it or not they do remember who the hell you are. The other thing is they have probably forgotten why they didn't ever want to speak to you again anyway. That's the great thing about getting old. You can't remember pain, and they BAD things you remember don't seem so bad anymore. It's much easier to forgive someone when you can't really remember why you didn't like them in the first place. I know I have forgiven two people that I had not spoken with in many a year, and found out I still did like them down deep. What seemed so important then, seems so damn silly now. Let's get all the old %#%^%$^$ out of the way and have a 50th that we well only remember the good times. I'll never forget how funny Gary and Ted were at the 40th. Let's all have those kinds of memories for the 50th. God only know when we will see and hear from each other again.
Again Tom Whitney, thanks for all the hard work.
About me, screw it, I'm fine. Tom
