My 7th & 8th grade math teacher, Carmen Ponader, was an HO train freak, and a seriously grumpy old man (he was probabably younger than I am now, but he was LOTS grumpier, methinks?)
:D
I do believe that he and Victor got to be friends over this hobby?
Ponader would find train enthusiests in his classes by dropping subtle hints, and those kids would swarm to him like moths on a porch light, as Ponader has so much more money and space to pursue his hobby.

Happy Doodah Rita!
You are finally a Very Old Person!

I went thru gradeschool @Foreman with Jo Faye.
Oh, and, her name was never just "Jo Faye." She ALWAYS introduced herself as, "Jo Faye Dick."
Always. Always. Always.
--->>> There you have it, classmates!
I always felt she was daring you to make a joke about her surname? Who knows?
She was always a most kind sweety. I did not know Joe Faye all THAT well, but she was always KIND and PLEASANT when I interacted with her.
--->>> Never heard that woman say an unkind thing about anybody. Nope. Never.

How many of us are now gone that we know of?
--->>> It seems a frightful percentage of our graduating class to me have passed on, my friends.

Rod:
Sorry I din't make it this time. I really wanted to be there. Oh, Lord, did I want to be there?
I was undone by the lack of vaccination in Indiana (not that much different than Arizona?)
I have a 7 month old granddaughter in Los Angeles I've never met. Don't want to have no "sleeper infection" when I go to see her around thanksgiving.
So sorry.. I'd been looking forward to this for ever so long.
Hey Patty!
I'm not going to make the reunion. However I would dearly love to zoom with Peggy Nier (Schammert) while you are providing this awesome service to us.

I heard that you won’t make it to the reunion. I enjoyed your stories about me at the last one. I really wanted to hear more. Lol
