Hi John,
What a pleasant surprise to hear from you. I’m sitting at a trailer campsite with the 5th wheel along the Columbia River for my annual windsurf trip. Pleasant memories back to you. It still is an internal debate if you or Ricky Piava had the greatest smile. I quickly read your classmate posting and see you are elder of a fantastic family. You mentioned playing golf with Ray F. please say hello for me. We have threatened to play together but I have set a goal of losing less tha 8 balls around before we do it. I can’t reach my goal. The attached pic is Kathleen and I in Croata 6/2023. Highly recommended. Hope all is well with you, take care of yourself. Warm hugs..Dan

Hey Floyd,
Thanks for mentioning your first car. Now I know why we walked to school (in the snow, 2.5 miles...back in the day).
