Two new email members, Linda Davidson-Arnold and Grant Williams.

Well have some news and thought I would report. Heard from Grant (Dick Clark) Williams today. Grant do you still look like you did when you graduated? I informed him that we actually did try to send him an invitation but the USPS decided the address was insufficient. He works with a guy that knows Cathy Clements (remember her and the houseboat on the river?) sister. Maybe we can get in touch with her.

Becky Ford-Doster's parents got some new neighbors this week. The Auto Zone family. I saw your mother this week Becky; she was sweeping the driveway. I had forgotten how much you look like her. I'm sure they are excited about having an auto parts store planted right next to them. They had to dig out a few tons of dirt to level up the hill.

Heard also from Martha Sue and she got three responses; Vaughn Blue, Derrell Hawkins and Linda Davidson-Arnold. So we will at least have 8 people attending. Nancy B tried to give me hers but I told her I might lose it and anyway Martha Sue would like to get it in the mail. Linda Davidson-Arnold has an e-mail address and I am adding her to our list. That makes 33 of us on the list.

Martha Sue also told me that Illene has been wearing SAS shoes for a long time, so they must be in style if Illene is wearing them?

I am just getting through putting the pictures I took on my trip to CA, TX & UT on the website. A professional photographer I ain't, but some are okay. I taught my kids to always have the subject close so the picture would be interesting but do I do that? Not. Anyway here is the quick link if you don't want to rummage through the website: http://www.bhs1969.com/bhs/picture_links_page.htm

I mentioned previously that Sue Anne's invitation apparently fell off the dogsled on the way to her. Well Sue Anne I didn't get the replacement out this week but I am typing with one hand and hand addressing with the other. Here is the address I am using: 1724 East Ridge, Anchorage, AK 99501. Hopefully you will get this one. Please verify that this is the correct address. I will wait to hear from you before I send (sorry I accidentally deleted your previous e-mail you sent with your correct address).

Additional news, Batesville has the #1 Sonic in the nation and now the #1 Taco Bell. Ain't we something? New stuff going up everywhere. BTW (remember computer talk for By the Way) if you are in Batesville on a weekend, you should make a concentrated effort to visit Danny "D'Rock" Dozier's establishment, The Depot Diner (website: http://www.depotdiner.com). It is located on Lawrence Street in the old Train Depot (hey is that where you got that name?) Anyway the food is great and he has a variety of entertainment every weekend. Everything from Bluegrass to old rock & roll to Elvis Presley imitators (Batesville's own Billy Shelton and he is good!). Batesville is lucky to have such a place and it is a real hotspot and definitely worth the trip. (Okay Danny do I get my free meals for a month?) Seriously, it is a really neat place to go, puts all the Hard Rock Cafe's to shame.

Happy Trails,
