We have a get-together there in June with our wives. We are all fraternity brothers from our Purdue days. Bobbie and I traveled with Charlie and Caroline on this trip that also included a visit to the Biltmore mansion in Asheville, NC, a visit to a La Bastide French Country Inn near Greenville, SC, and a tour of the Great Smoky Mountains National Park and Gatlinburg, TN.

We are, of course, very sorry that we cannot make the reunion. I'm afraid my
business pressures were too great for me to get away. As it turns out, I
will be working an assignment in Athens, Greece the week of July 18th.
Bobbie will travel with me and we are expecting to be spending the weekend
of the MHHS reunion somewhere on a Greek island (probably Mykonos). So, we
will be having some Ouzo at a Taverna and thinking about all of my old
classmates. This may indeed sound like fun . . .but I'm certain I would much
rather be in Anderson, Indiana that weekend.

Ron, created and sent to me back in 1970 while he was in Vietnam).
Last week I was in Germany (Hamburg) and Rotterdam (Europort) on business.
This weekend, Bobbie met me in Amsterdam, so we are enjoying a relaxing weekend
here in one of my favorite European cities. Next weekend we go back to Rotterdam
for a few days.
Hope the plans are progressing nicely for the reunion. I'm sure it will be a
fun weekend . . . and I really wish we could be there.
