Dick, I'm surprised you didn't mention the "70" that you just posted.  😂😂  Congrats 

Glen Tatum

Thanks Dick. Always happy to be around for another year. Don't know how many more of those I can look forward to. This year was drve thru food and TV movies. Hope we all get better news soon. Stay safe.

      I hope everyone in the class of ( KHS 1970) is hanging in there durning this difficult time.

       When all is said. we're ALL FAMILY !!!!!    Take care and be HAPPY !!

The situation isn't totally bleak for some people. They tell us to expect a Baby Boom. 

On the other hand, they also predict a higher Divorce Rate.  So far, so good, but a question came to mind when Mimi asked me to sharpen the knives.  So far, so good, but I don't know how long I can stall.

#1, don't worry about knives at this time but focus on the mail.  I would be concerned  if any Accidental Death or Dismemberment policies have been taken out recently on you.  You could try a new survival strategy at home of complimenting Mimi more often, it could buy you some more time.  Finally, there is the old tried and true standard of "Yes Dear" when it comes to matters of correctness, decision making or anything else under the sun.

Dick take Wedster's advice  to act evasively and delay or just run for your ass !!!

Dick K  -  Very well put  -  I still haven't quite learned the FULL LESSON (much to Carol's chagrin)  (and Oh By The Way  -  I looked it up on Google so I was spelling it correct)  -   I am also very aware that she has 50% of one thing and 100% of another thing  -  so that being said  "I Am A Very Slow Learner"  -  after almost 42 Years under the same roof I still get myself into trouble with her.

Glen  -  Nice to see your Post -  are you going to be at the Renunion  ??   -  talking about Drive Thrus  -  as most of you know (or at least those of you that don't disregard my posts  -  We have a Mexican Restaurant close to us that has $2.00 Monday Margaritas (either Frozen or On The Rocks) that is usually one of our Most Frequented Establishments (That probably surprises some of you  -  but  -  yes it is true).  I had to lay the groundwork  -  Well  -  now because of the LockDown they are able to sell those Margaritas along with food orders for Take Out  -  What a deal.  The really good part of that is you don't have a limit on the Margaritas in relationship to the Food  -  you know where I'm going with this  -  Don't You??  It is a BEAUTIFUL THING  -  even though they cost $5.00 instead of $2.00.  I just ordered Lunch there and surprise  -  we also got 4 Margaritas  -  This Is A Wonderful Life. 

Dick  -  Take Dick and Danny's advice.  Just so you know  -  ACL Surgery is not considered an Essential Surgery  -  that being said I may be showing up in August on Crutches  -  and still may not be playing Golf but I can be around to harass those that are.  I asked the Doctor if I could get my 12 Handicap back  -  he said most likely and I told him it had gone up to 20  -  he said he may not be able to fix that because he is a Doctor not a Golf Coach (or a magician). Better go to WORK  (that 4 Letter Word).  Talk to you later.

Condolences to Sheri on the passing of her father-in-law Dale Eatherton. I remember my dad and uncle used to buy all their diesel fuel from him in the 60's when they were land leveling and Dale owned the Mystery Oil.

     How is everyone doing ????    I now understand why my dog gets bored staying at home each day !!!!     TAKE CARE !!!!

Vicki Bissell

The barncats and I are doing ok on the farm.  It is getting boring but I spend time walking in the basement or outside when it is nice, reading books, crocheting and watching TV as I stay home.  I did break out this morning to get groceries again. This should last for a couple of weeks unless I need milk or catfood.   Everyone take care.

Dick Kincaid

The normal routine in our individual households may have been altered but at our age we must have learned some survival skills over the years.  I learned about social distancing from an old bachelor farmer.  He didn't intend to be ahead of the his time,  it was just his lack of personal hygiene.  Reiter should be able to figure out who I'm talking about since he was only a few miles away from the family farm.   I have noticed a lot of people walking or bicycling but maintaining a social distance in my neighborhood.  We tend to put more focus on the negatives of how we have been impacted instead of seeing the positives of families having to slow down and appreciate each other.  I assume most of us grew up hearing from our grandparents talking about the "Good Old Days" when life wasn't so rushed.  Maybe, we have the opportunity to hit our own personal reset button to actually see what is really important---family and friends rather than just activities and things.  

Barb Arnold (Jacobitz)

Very well stated, Dick! It is indeed an unimaginable crisis and definitely makes one appreciate the little things that we normally take for granted! 
Hoping and you and your family are doing well!  Prayers for Megan and family in Hong Kong! 

Kathi Geiser (Wright)

Hello, Sure glad I made it to NE to see family and friends in Feb, who knew!  I wish the news would report facts and not use words that create more fear, etc..  

My calendar has not been this empty since junior high 😎  All my fun blues events are cancelling.  I'm not doing my blues cruise in Oct after watching people stuck on ships now.  Lost its appeal somehow.  But my small inconveniences are nothing in comparison to some!

Be well !

Anna Sobotka (Schroeder)

 I feel like this having to stay at home is a payback for all the times my parents didn't know some of the things I was doing and couldn't ground me !!!!!!  Pay backs are hell !!!!

 When you go out of the house for errands are any of you wearing a mask or gloves ??  I'm going to start ( being in that over 65 age group is kinda scary)

Take care and enjoy this together time !!!   I'm thankful I have my dog to keep me company !!!!!!!

Dick Kincaid

I was out running a few errands and I did notice a few individuals wearing some PPE.  Personally the only precaution I took was wearing disposable vinyl gloves in case they didn't have the disinfectant wipes for the carts.  I was pondering the appropriateness  of going to the bank wearing a mask and gloves to cash a check .  The outcome might not have been beneficial to me.  Never mind, I think many of the banks are requesting scheduled appointments to get into the main bank, but this naturally morphed into another twisted thought.  Does someone planning to rob a bank have to schedule an appointment and if so why bother with a mask if the appointment request requires a current account with said institution.  I think a sure cure to "Cabin Fever" is to post on the Forum since we have a lot to down time and it stimulates our brains to some extent.

It's so good to go back and read the posts from the last couple of months!  I didn't realize how far behind the '70 news I have gotten.  We made it home safely from AZ the 24th of March.  It was an interesting trip back as we made our own lunches, stayed with family in Albuquerque one night and one night in a hotel.  Wiped everything with Clorox wipes when we entered the lobby and our rooms.  Our 2 week quarantine is over tomorrow but the only way to celebrate is to have more than one glass of wine for dinner!  Maybe I could throw a virtual party!  

Frank, so sorry to hear about your skiing accident!  Putting off surgery has to be tough but you don't really want to be in the hospital for any reason right now!  Hope you are able to get it done soon!

Thanks to those who sent donations with their registration.  I'm really hoping we are able to celebrate in August.  If you haven't registered yet, please do soon.  I plan to mail out letters mid May to those who haven't registered yet.  I haven't checked numbers yet, but I'm guessing we have 40-60 classmates coming at this point.  
 

Hope all of you are well and staying safe from COVID-19!

Anna, I hate staying home too.  I ordered delivery groceries from HyVee and got 2/3 of my order so I'm going to the store anyway.  I have 5 quilts ready to longarm but no batting or backing!  I have to see the fabric to buy it for a finished project so am calling the quilt shop for alley pick it out and pick it up.  Crazy times.  Also trying to support locally owned restaurants to keep them alive.  The gal who delivered groceries owns a dress shop and said they'll be lucky if they don't have to file bankruptcy.  They have a huge inventory of prom dresses that won't be sold this year!  I hadn't thought about that!  I feel sorry for those getting married with only 10 people celebrating with them.  We're hoping things will be somewhat normal by August 1st for Lindsay's wedding.  It's really hard to plan this not knowing what's going to happen.  Graduating seniors have it tough too!  Not a fun ending to your high school careers!  Families with loved ones in the hospital all alone! What a mess this stuff has caused! We are a strong nation so we will survive this disaster together too!

Time to shower, get dressed and go work on a t-shirt quilt for my great nephew!  I have 2 to do for him.  After that, maybe some puzzle time or a Hallmark movie!  Definitely a walk today!  Stay safe!

Just sent out an email reminder for the reunion and noticed some of the email addresses are school emails or business emails.   Please login and change your email address in your profile to your personal email if you have retired.  You can still login with the old address.  Once you've deleted the old address and inserted your new address, you will login with the new address.  Thanks for keeping your profiles updated!  Ok, now I'm off to the shower!

                     HAPPY   EASTER

Jana Weed (Green)

Hi all from San Diego! I flew out the middle of March when my daughter said she had no one to care for her son while she worked. My daughter, Regan, is a critical care cardiac/stroke nurse, having most recently moved to lead nurse in preop. So far, CA is ahead of the game with COVID 19, thanks to the stay at home mandate. All beaches, parks, etc. have been closed for three weeks and are diligently patrolled by the military and law enforcement. My daughter said the peak should arrive here in about six days, two weeks ahead of the previous prediction, but the danger of spread won't be over. Regan has been vigilant in not letting me go into any stores, Joe's pleased because that means no money being spent! Scary times, my friends. Everyone, please stay safe! Looking forward to our reunion.

Bob Morris

Jana, I have daughter named Regan as well. She is a doctor in Manhattan, Kansas. How strange is that. Happy Easter Hope all is well. She was named after the Exorcist movie..

Anna Sobotka (Schroeder)

OMG  it's only Monday morning-the days seen to be getting longer for me !!!!!

We had a little snow for the Easter rabbit here in Kearney. Now we're back to cold and wind .

I have a request ????  Could we have a different background besides the fall leaves???  Thanks

    Enjoy your day !!!!!!

Condolences to Dave Mills on the passing of his mother. She was also John Beezley's mother-in -law.
