June's Pre-Reunion Spoutings
--
Wow! June is here and my 30-Year Reunion is next month!
Boy did that sneak up on me. Oh well, so much for losing
weight and getting that hair transplant in time for
the reunion. Actually, I did make an effort to lose
weight for the reunion, which resulted in my gaining
an additional 10 pounds. It must be the pressure of
it all. Oh well, if you love me or hate me at 231 then
there now is an additional 10 lbs more of me to either
love or hate.
Now my biggest fear is that I won't recognize anyone.
Everybody has seen what I look like from the pictures
on the website so I should be easily recognizable. But
me seeing them after 30 years is a different story.
Are you kidding? I was having a hard time recognizing
people 5 years out of HS. Some people (mostly the women)
look very much the same. It's the men that seem to change.
The main reason is we start to morph back into a semblance
of our Cro-Magnon ancestors. We start growing hair on
places where there was none before and lose hair where
it counts the most…on top of our head. On top of
that, the hair we have left turns gray and then we gain
about 500 pounds. Who can recognize the guy you used
to call "Beanpole" when he now looks like
an 800-pound gorilla?
But you know what?
It's going to be great to see everybody again.
Okay, anxiety aside…I hope as many people as can…will…make
it to the reunion. The shirts are going into production
later this week and we will finally get that over with.
If you haven't gotten your money in yet…well, I
guess we may make the offer again in the future sometime…maybe.
Other news. There was some confusion over the Carneal's
Tailgate and the Alumni Baseball Game. Whatever it was
it resulted in neither one taking place. Does anyone
want to volunteer to be the SpringerConnection Social
Coordinator? I think we need one and it shouldn't be
Dan or me. That's what I'm thinking.
Joey Fields: I am wondering can we get a ballgame together
for the picnic at Dorey park on the 27th of June? I
tried to email you but your email doesn't work.
People, PLEASE keep your email addresses current
in your profile. If you don't, it kind of defeats the
purpose of belonging to the site.
Okay, I'm done shooting off at the mouth for this month.
Adios!
Jack
