02/27/10 10:37 PM #3408     Tom Houseman All you Michiganians are correct - it is by far the prettiest state - the great lakes, and lots of "little" ones, will help any state. But - think about this - how many states can you wake up to snow on Friday morning yet go for a outdoor bike ride in 60 degree weather the next afternoon? Gotta love the Okie stuff. Today was just the second time being outdoors on the bike - by this time last year I had well over 200 miles outdoors. I'm really ready for spring!

02/28/10 08:27 AM #3409     Steve Merica Tom, we are all ready for spring and summer! Cheryl, i will keep on working on the"beach Day" and then post it! Everyone else please keep this forum alive! We are working on get togethers this summer. so keep watching and don't be afraid to write something so we know your alive!

02/28/10 10:28 AM #3410     Don Nugent Steve, r we have another fund raiser fish fry, too ?? I think we should all show up at Cheryls resort in mexico for the sand sculpture deal....PARTY AT CHERYLS PLACE !!!!

03/01/10 09:07 AM #3411     Tom Houseman Nuggie - Go ahead and show up at Cheryls' Mexican palace - she won't care she'll be "three sheets to the wind."

03/01/10 03:47 PM #3412     Brenda Vogel (Visser) Hey Cheryl, where are you going in Mexico? I am very sorry to put a damper on your upcoming vacation, but living here in SD we hear a lot of Mexico horror stories that you may not be privy to. There are many areas that are not safe in Mexico anymore...Our school and club teams used to cross the border for soccer, volleyball, surfing, cycling, baseball, and many other tournaments but none of them go anymore. Church groups no longer make the trip...Just about every one I know, knows someone who has been robbed, assaulted, or kidnapped south of the border. It used to be so very cool in Mexcio, the beaches are gorgeous, we used to go camping and enjoy cheap shrimp and lobster and mucho cerveza's. I work in the International Division of my company and there are current Travel Alerts for many parts of Mexico, below is a current alert. Travel Alert U.S. DEPARTMENT OF STATE Bureau of Consular Affairs --------------------------------------------------------- This information is current as of today, Mon Mar 01 12:34:01 2010. Mexico - Security February 22, 2010 The Department of State has issued this Travel Alert to update security information for U.S. citizens traveling to and living in Mexico. It supersedes the Travel Alert for Mexico dated August 20, 2009, and expires on August 20, 2010. While millions of U.S. citizens safely visit Mexico each year (including tens of thousands who cross the land border every day for study, tourism or business and nearly one million U.S. citizens who live in Mexico), violence in the country has increased. It is imperative that U.S. citizens understand the risks in Mexico, how best to avoid dangerous situations, and whom to contact if one becomes a crime victim.

03/05/10 06:12 AM #3413     Steve Merica We are still working on dates for tower hill and fish fry, keep checking the message forum, hopefully we will have them soon!

03/05/10 09:11 AM #3414     Sharon Simons (Hettinger) Has JL taken leave? Maybe he's working on the great novel to tell Michigander tales? !! ? Tom Houseman is correct-o....We do have weird weather here in the VERY middle of the country... hoping for a great 50+-degree day today. Although some rain may accompany the warmer temps... This WINTER has felt more like a MICHIGAN winter, though, eh, Housemans? A Haitian friend of mine, who was raised in Port-au-Prince and attended the music school there (now decimated/leveled) has a brother, Jean, who is collecting instruments to help heal the souls and hearts of musicians who lost their instruments in the Earthquake. If you have an instrument sitting in a closet, or in your kids' closets, and would like to make a contribution, please consider this... Enclose in the instrument's case a business-size envelope with your name and address on it...they will take a photo of your instrument with its new owner and send it to you... The instruments will be collected for another 4 weeks... You can mail your instruments to: Dr JEAN MONTES c/o Greater New Orleans Youth Orchestras 170 Broadway Street, Suite 229 New Orleans, LA 70118 http://web.me.com/merelaurens/GoIntoTheWorld/Go_Into_The_World/Entries/2010/2/16_Instruments_for_Ste._Trinite_Music_School.html or http://tinyurl.com/yfbfkcr =================== For more info, contact: Dr. Jean Montes Director of Orchestral Studies and Coordinator of Strings Associate Professor of Music Loyola University New Orleans College of Music & Fine Arts 6363 St. Charles Avenue Campus Box 8 New Orleans, LA 70118 504-865-2167 Fax: 504-856-2852 jmontes@loyno.edu www.music.loyno.edu/ www.jeanmontes.com/ Thanks for considering this. Just one little way to continue to help in Haiti. ~Sharon

03/05/10 11:25 PM #3415     Tom Houseman The Okie weather was much improved this week - I've managed to get rides in four of the last seven days. Two of the three I didn't ride because of class as the local vo-tech. Looking forward to DST when the sunsets will be after 7:30, should help the mileage increase.

03/07/10 09:05 AM #3416     Karen McGregor (Bezemek) Hey you guys - great to catch up. Steve - from a tour operators perspective, July is typically family vacation month but since we are pretty much beyond that 'age' category, should be able to find a Saturday or Sunday maybe? Folks could come together on Saturday and meet up Sunday at Tower Hill? Brenda - as with the others, MI is the BEST!...especially "Up North" where I would like to retire...if that day ever comes. Ha! Good for you that you are able to set up shop at your new home! Cheryl - do be careful...just saw that horrible story on Dateline of the kidnapping and extortion (sp?). Thank God it ended up happy but what an ordeal. Your daughter's article in the paper was excellent! It was cool to see that our other Brenda's daughter wrote it too. My step mom sent it to me so it is being shared by many I'm sure. : ) Kat - I head out to Lake Tahoe on Wed to ski with my two girls and my niece Nicole. We fly through San Fran but that's as close to CA as I'm getting for awhile. : ( Will certainly let you and Jude and Sue know if a business trip comes up where we can have another slumber weekend! I look at my pics a lot and treasure the memories shared from last fall.

03/10/10 12:05 PM #3417     Katherine Holloway Hi Brenda, I did the same thing, I went back to the South Bend, Mishawaka area and reconnected with my family, Brother and his extended family, Mom whom was passing, lotts of family. I went back for two years 06 and 07. I bounced right back here to So. Cal but am now thinking of comming back again! All your same reasons, family, $$, travel ect. My regret is that we didn't have this wonderful site so in the entire 2 years I saw NO ONE from the site, class of 74. Crazy! I probably did, either they or I didn't recognize each other. LOL Now we have all of our connections, it might be easier. Yes I think about it. I will be here for at least another year though and in that time ANYTHING can happen!! Karen! SF, my old stomping ground! Say hi to Marin County for me will ya? I raised Dustin there. To late for me to plan a quick trip up there. I have been off the site for a while and need to catchup. Good to see you all that are still here though. Sincere Kat

03/11/10 04:30 PM #3418     Katherine Holloway PS Brenda, When I said "what else is there?" I meant, what else means more than having friends and family around you, as in a good thing to come home to. Some times my black and white print does not read right.

03/12/10 06:14 PM #3419     Brenda Vogel (Visser) Hi Kat and everyone, thanks for the encouragement! I can't wait to see Meg and Wendy on a regular basis and of course my family and other MI friends as well. Good times! My son has decided he will be going to College in Michigan too, Yahooo! He won't be too far from mom, what else is there, right Kat? :-)

03/15/10 12:18 PM #3420     Katherine Holloway That is what I am talking about Brenda! Maybe I will see you back there this summer.

03/16/10 11:37 PM #3421     Jim Lanier Do you guys know what time it is?!?!? Or maybe the date, can anyone help me out on that?!??! At least, which constellation is currently hiding in the sun? I just want to tell you all, each and every one of you, and I don't say this just to be obsequious and fawning and everything, but YOU LOOK MARVELOUS! Especially for your age. Oh, yeah, look at me, Mr. Just Turnt 54. Why, I remember when I was jus fi'ty cent! Where did all that go??? When I get to be a dollah, I won't be worth fi'ty cent! Damn.

03/17/10 02:54 PM #3422     Katherine Holloway JL! Write me a book will ya??? The contstellation hiding the Sun is the same one that is always, has always been there at this time of year from where you are geographiclly located each year(sp), remember?? LOL, oh..I will never be able to catch up to ganga

03/18/10 08:38 PM #3424     Jim Lanier You missed me, Pam?!?! Imagine how much I missed me!! I'm writing you a book, Kat, and this book is gonna be so thick, it'll stun an ox! It'll be about a guy who's trapped in a cyberspace chatroom time-slip phenomenon, and every time he gets to where he's gonna say something important or intelligent... ... oh, yeah, and, special for you, I'll make liberal use of the word "flux."

03/19/10 12:51 PM #3425     Katherine Holloway JL. ?? Say WHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA..........ttttt? Sorry, just don't get it,,, but very glad your back to the site, cyberSpaceMan. We, (I think) are still, all of us 74 ers, looking for this book? Nike says, "just do it" But Truly, you have a way with words that should not be overlooked. Sincere Kat Flux? HUH? Sorry so slow, Lady Ga Ga is going to wear one of My or 2 or 3 of my dresses, stay tuned. We are all good at something and pretty lousy at the rest. Please pardon my ignorance. OH PPS, I live with an OX, no surprises here. LOL, but really
