Thank You, Class!

I received a San Antonio book today (thank you, David Kriese) signed by many of you at the reunion. I cannot tell you how thoughtful that was. I truly was touched. Not being exactly a high-school enthusiast in the day, I was surprised at how much fun this whole experience has been. I'd say the grown-up version of us is much better than the teenage version.

Let's keep in touch!

What Did You Think?


What a blast! Thanks to Bill and every one else involved in this great weekend.

In the comments section below, please share your thoughts about the reunion.

Posting Pictures

I've had several questions about how to post images to the CLASS PHOTO ALBUM. I'll write detailed instructions by Tuesday, but if you're a little bit savvy ... start by creating your own account at www.flickr.com, and upload your pictures there. Then go to Churchill photo album and click on the link that asks to be invited to the group.

It's not that difficult ... Even Scott Combs managed to do it.

Hang tight ... more details to come.

Larkspur - 5th Grade


How cute we were in 1976! Remember the bicentennial festivities? 50 Nifty United States...I still use that song when I try to answer Jeopardy questions.

Charlie Paulette sent this picture of 5th grade at Larkspur. There's a bigger image at our class photo site on flickr.

Forever relegated to the bottom row: Judy Shelton, Charlie, Kelly Koger, me and Jeff Pyle.
