Nance--you look so good!!!  I thought you were talking about changing your main picture on the side.  Sorry.  Guess you figured out how to put the pic up.  Did ou have fun???  Am going to my son, Derron's, in Dallas this week.  Heard from Ron Hanson, & we're going to try to meet.  How cool is that?  He's 25 minutes away from Derron's.

barb&linda, let me know when you guys can get together-i'll see what i can put together like the last time. had a great time in fla., now i'm so cold. hope to see you soon.nancy

Linda Peate (Powrie)

Nancy:  Sure you had a great time! But I am always hot so when I get back to Ohio I will be happy to have cooler weather! In Jan/Feb we have always had to wear sweaters at least at nite, but our sweaters have sat untouched in the closet! Fred said he is taking his nice sweaters home to Ohio & so am I!!!  We will be going home in a couple weeks.  How can that be?  We just got here it seems.  We had a cocktail party w/my best friend Gay whom I have known for 34 yrs.  She remarried a man who Fred & I knew when he was married to his spouse & Gay was married to hers. They both got divorced, hooked up, & have been married almost 20 yrs.  They live 1 street over from us.  The party ended up by having 50 people show up!  Mostly their friends, but about 10 of ours as we just moved in last yr.  Wow, I am so tired after entertaining any more.  Used to love it, but now I am so not into that any more!!!!  Good way to meet other people I guess.  Look forward to coming home.  Ready by now!

Take care & see you soon.  Hoping Marcia can come to our next mini reunion again.  So fun!!  Linda

In case anyone wants to go crusin at Beardens on Monday nights here is a article about the new Beardens cruise in's. I'll try and be there.

Maybe a Mini reunion some time?

Alan Greenleaf

Hey, I'll go!  Sounds like fun!  Starts April 30th?  Maybe I'll see you there!

Happy Birthday to Fred Thomas, my old Michigan roommate!

Fred Thomas

Nobody should worry too much about John Dawson.  He was the toughest guy on the football team and he will probably outlive us all.

Few people know this but John's head was too big to fit into any of the football helmets.  So, we just painted his head to look like one.  That really hardened up his noggin and made him ready for anything.

Holly Portz (Koiro (1945-2023))

Hi Fred.

  Wishing you a BIG TEXAS-sized birthday! 

Celebrate!

Fred Thomas

Thanks Holly, Lin and everyone who wished me a happy birthday.  I spent the day at the splash park going down waterslides with my grandkids and eating and drinking free at my son's company picnic.  Life is good down here in TEXAS.  YEEEE HAAAAA!!!

Being 67 is a lot easier than 17.  I don't stress out about getting pimples, being popular, taking physics tests or making first string anymore.  No one expects too much from me now and I have achieved the status of a senior advisor around here.  I taught my grandkids how to ride bikes, swim and hit baseballs.  We work on spelling, math problems and keyboard lessons.  We design  birthday cards, military bases and cruise ships.  They made a huge couch fort upstairs last week and they slept in it.  I am commader of this seal team Thomas and each one has a different rank.  Ethan and I play cards back at Headquarters while we send the two younger ones out on demolition missions.  Life gets better every year and I am looking forward to being 68. 

Linda Peate (Powrie)

Fred cracks me up!!  Wish I had my own grandkids to play with.  Amy's (Barb's daughter) are so busy we hardly see them anymore.  Sports, sports & more sports!!!  Good job of achieving rank, Fred, in the family. Then you go home w/no responsibility!!!  L

Fred Thomas

I never thought I would make the White House enemies list with the likes of Fox News, talk radio, Big Oil, Wall Street, WalMart, Texas, and the GOP, but here I am a one percenter.  I didn't really want or need all this money but that probably won't get me off the list.  I am a job creator!  Our gated community hires landscapers, cooks, life guards, tennis pros, personal trainers and security guards.  I am an investor!  The cruise ship industry would probably go broke without my money.

And all you 99 percenters should realize that my life is really no different than yours.  I can only drive one luxury car at a time even if I have several dozen in the garage.  And I can only live in one house at a time even though I have several houses and condos across the country.  I can only eat one filet mignon or a couple of lobster tails at a meal even though I could afford dozens.  I can only put one of my tuxedos on for the Captain's dinner.  The other twenty are still in the closet.

So the only difference between me and the rest of you 99 percenters besides all my dough is that I have learned to jump into my pants two legs at a time.  And tell Dawson that Coach Gandolfi was wrong about that old cliche.

Randall Smith

Hi Fred                                    Happy Birthday

Things have changed for the better for you. Now that you live in Texas and are a 1 percent.

It appears that you go out of your way to give your money to the illegals. Do all those illegals work directly for you or are they brokered. They need the money with SS being broke. I think its awsome of you to support the people that can't speak english and don't like our flag. Sounds like the republican way of life to me. Don't you sleep well knowing that you are helping keep all those people here. It has to be a great feeling knowing that your filling there pockets with cash. Or do you use plastic?

Bruce and I have extra cars so the illegals have something to steal. They need transportation to go to work for your brokerage.

Hope I added a little hummor to your day Fred it sounds like your bored playing with the kids. Maybe you should find some grown ups to play with. You could have a club and light cigars with 100 dollar bills and blow the smoke towards Washington.

John

Did I do good?

Fred Thomas

John and Randy,

I hope y'all come on down herah to Texas to visit us in our gated community.  I have instructed the security guards not to open fire when you arrive at the gate.  I gave them your photos from our high school yearbook so you will be easily recognized but you better learn to say "don't shoot" in Spanish just in case.

I am headed out of the gate in my limo to WalMart, my favorite store.  Liberals don't like WalMart but I love the place.  If WalMart were a woman, I would marry her or at least have a steamy affair.  I love Sam's Club almost as much as WalMart and if Sam's came into human form I might have to learn to go the other way like John and Randy.

Ellen Aspinwall (Templar)

Ok....well....here's hoping y'all don't need yer boots on June 23 when, hopefully, these message forum bloggers join the class summer fun at 2415 Cleveland Rd E in Huron.  As posted on the RRHS63 Home Page, the June Bugs will be buzzing and some of us will be BBQing on your behalf!  Bring a dish, set a spell and enjoy the day with old friends and new!  Debbie, Guy and I are looking forward to seeing y'all there and hopefully Randy's 'new' wheels!  Bring a story to share about your most fun summer adventures (keep it clean!!!) in the RR summer sunshine!  We can swap stories---that may have improved with age---till the cows come home.  I'll have my boots packed in the buggy just in case!!!

Nancy Westerfield (Depew)

i know you all know mr. hooker, my cousin class of 61 with lyle, e-mail me that he died, he was 92. i remember walking down the long hallway by choir in 9th grade, was turned around talking to someone, and walked almost up his legs-embarrased i was, looking up at him with those dark eyes of his, but he was nice to me. the things you never forget.

Alan Greenleaf

Hi guys! 

I am writing about a passion of mine, being safe, cheap LFTR (Liquid Flouride Thorium Reactor) nuclear power.  These can be tiny, and leave 1% of the waste that existing reactors leave, and can actually eat current nuclear waste as fuel.  If destroyed by earthquake or tsunami, they simply stop, with no human intervention.  They cannot blow up, and they cannot produce bombs.  In the 1950's, the government dropped this technology in favor of heavy water reactors, which CAN produce nuclear weapons. Short video here explains it.

The Thorium Story LFTR Reactors https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eU3cUssuz-U

I am a member of Linked-In's Thorium Energy Alliance, and we want to present a petition with 25,000 signatures to President Obama, to request research, support, and funding.  Our deadline is May 14th.  If you can view the video, and like what you see, please pass this on, and sign the Whitehouse petition, at:

Petition: (must join/login to Whitehouse first)  here

https://wwws.whitehouse.gov/petitions/!/petition/enable-american-energy-independence-retaking-lead-thorium-energy-rare-earth-dependent-hi-tech/jbyN79rb?utm_source=wh.gov&utm_medium=shorturl&utm_campaign=shorturl

If you choose not to sign, at least enjoy the video.  There are many such on YouTube!  If we do not make the deadline, we have to begin again.  So we hope you will look at this now.  Thanks for reading!

Ellen Aspinwall (Templar)

Worthy endeavor, Al.  Great way to save the oceans, the planet and ourselves!  After the somewhat recent nuclear/natural disaster it is clear we need to find a better way!

Fred Thomas

Al,

I'll sign your petition but don't you know that Obama and the greenies have already figured out that our next sources of energy will be windmills, solar panels and ethanol?  That's why they have invested so many of our tax dollars in companies like Solyndra.  Sure that failed, but if they throw away enough of our money something might happen,

Why research Thorium nuclear which promises the possibility of safe, cheap, steady and abundant energy when we can have expensive intermittent and sparse energy from windmills and soilar panels that produce only when the wind is blowing and the sun is shinning?  Don't you see that green logic?  And ethanol that uses food as a source and produces little more energy out than is put into it's production is the greatest of all.

Afterall the Government knows best and they will spend our money wisely.

Alan Greenleaf

Geez, I guess you're right Fred.  I'll try to pay closer attention next time!

By the way, I understand the Administration will require 50 mpg cars in the future, because "they are alll about saving gas".  Volkswagon is making an engine that gets 75 mpg, in the US, and for export only.  It is not allowed in the US.  Maybe they ought to allow it.

It seems that the UK measures emissions "per kilometer".  Here, they are measured "per gallon".  So even though it has far less emmissions by burning half the fuel for a given distance, the emissions per gallon are slightly higher than what is allowed.  "Sorry, no exceptions.  We know best".

You guys are all hilarious--& maybe a little nuts too!! Talked w/Marcia about the fall reunion at the high school & she IS coming.  We will come up together & stay again at our Hampton Inn where you, John, fell asleep when we were there last time.  Barb/I will be going to Huron on the 23rd.  Marcia can only come to one or the other so I told  her to come to the fall one.  I'm hoping Sally will come also. (Willey-Johnson). Sue Gammel is thinking of coming to the June 23 mini.  I told her we have a great time, so I hope lots of people show up!  That would be so fun to see her. We never connected in Fla. because we left before we could arrange something.

Marcia also told me that Sally Little lost the love of her life, who found each other several yrs. ago. Marcia said they were so happy & so perfect for each.  He was killed in a tragic accident.  Marcia said she is devastated, but also doing the best she can.  Life isn't fair, as I surely know & so do all of us, right?!

Fred Thomas

Most of you probably never noticed that the plant kingdom converses almost constantly.  Trees, bushes, flowers, fruits and vegetables talk and if you know the languages you might be shocked by what they are saying lately. Luckily, I am fluent in live oak and some of the dialects of fruit and nut trees.

They are upset with Al Gore and the greenies attempts at cutting off their food sources.  "Al Gore thinks that stopping our CO2 supplies is a good idea", one oak said to another in my backyard.  "I was just beginning to get a good grow on.  We should kick his ass", came the reply.  "Now that old Joe Oak is dead and on the ground we could cut him up into some nice baseball bats to beat the greenies with", said the first oak.  "We'll have to pull up roots and march on Washington unless Al Gore and the greenies get real close though", said the secomd oak".

Those are some shocking words.  I shudder to think what the flowers and vegetables are planning!!!

Nancy Westerfield (Depew)

happy mother's day to all of my rrhs mom's
