This is way out or order with the  travel abroad "thread" that included lots of food and my favorite, Limoncello! I found a recipe from an old Italian from Sorento for both the clear, as well as the "Crema" Limoncello. (Think Baley's Irish cream, only lemon... It's great. We evn grew the Sorento lemons for a few years until our tree died from neglect when we were on a cruise... the irrigation system went our, and we came ome to a leafless tree! So sad! Those lemons were wonderful for lemoncello! Why is it the food that sticks in our memories! I remember exactly what I ate in 1972 in an inn on the main street in Oberamergau! What a lovely place..what a very long time ago! I too love all of the stories! Just to let you Little League heros know, I still brag about your big win! Yes, you did put Roswell on the map. It's nice to have something to brag about besides those pesky "aliens"! Keep the stories coming!

Well, here another September 11th. Hard to believe it will be 20 years next year.

Our fire department had a very moving ceremony this morning, here in Soldotna. They had the big ladder truck up and suspended from it a huge American flag. On the grounds, all officers were in uniform, and they had a bag-piper play, and prayers for all those lost, and for our Nation today.

With all the division in our country now, I will probably be breaking some kind of "ist" by saying,

GOD BLESS AMERICA

Hope that all are well and safe..

Tommy Weathers

Thank you John L. God bless America. 

Sherry Hester (Trasp)

God Bless America! 

I am sure as many things in our lives we will never forget where we were that day 9-11-2001!

Like Both John and Bobby Kennedy, Martin Luther King, Elvis and many more even things that happened in our personal lives!

Just finished an amazing book, Crucible of Hell, by Saul David. A true story of the 90 day battle for Okinawa during WW2. Makes me proud to be an American but incredibly humble thinking about the huge price some pay to keep us free.

God bless America.

Pat Sullins (Carpenter)

God bless America.

John Doyal

My granddaughter  was helping her kids with schoolwork and they were studying 9-11.  She pulled up the video on her phone and let them watch it.  Didn't mean much to  9 and 7 year old, but brought tears to she and I as we remembered seeing it on tv at the time.  It is time we got God back into our schools and goverment.  Yes God bless America

John Doyal and Diane Alley, Boy do I so agree with you Both!! All I have to add is~~ AMEN~~

Paula Carl (Cowee Miller)

John and Diane I agree with you. That was a terrible day but that tragedy brought us together!  I am so thankful that we of the class of '62 have a strong foundation in history and in truth. We have lived in such a blessed time of American history. Let's not forget God's blessings on this country. 

Bill Leggett

9-11 yes It hard for me to  think about that day, had just  Gotten home the day before when my wife woke up an turn on the TV saw the 2nd plan hit.  Lost some individuals, I knew that worked in D.C. when the plane hit. an a couple of individuals on the plane that was coming to CA.  an just look at what is going on now. Look at how many classmates we lost in Vietnam or pass away from Agent Orange problems. I look at the IN MEMORY section some times an see all of our classmates that have away  over the years. SOME very young.

Bill Leggett , Paula Carl Cowee-Miller, Thank-You!

Rex Booth

In the book, “The Friends of Voltaire”, Evelyn Beatrice Hall wrote the phrase:

"I disapprove of what you say, but I will defend to the death your right to say it”.

It was an illustration of Voltaire's beliefs. This quotation, which is sometimes

misattributed to Voltaire himself, is often cited to describe the principle of freedom of speech...

Therefore, I will defend to the death anyone having an opinion as stated on this forum.

In addition, I believe there should be a distinct separation between church and state.

Rex Booth, How did you get your message that big! When I opened it up to read it, it was 2 times the size of the pervious ones!

"I disapprove of what you say, but I will defend to the death your right to say it”.

I agree and whole hardly believe in this and have quoted it many times to family and friends! 

Bill Leggett

Sherry, it's the web link that he posted did it. that all.  I have done it some times.

Sherry Hester (Trasp)

Bill Leggett, OH, Got it! When you told me I realized that the link was very Long!!

Just Makes You want to Stand Up With tears in Your Eyes and Say YES!! 🤗🥰

John Landess

I received this from a old friend and thought it worth passing on...

I don't see any color here,

The headstones look the same.

No black, no brown, no white skin tone,

There's no one here to blame.

These soldiers fought and died for you,

Their color you can't see.

Your rights are still protected;

Here's the place to take a knee.

Paula Carl (Cowee Miller)

Amen and thank you John!

Mettie Cummins

Most truth I've seen in a long time. Thanx for sharing

Sherry Hester (Trasp)

Karla White (Dellner)

This looks Like North Junior High! Am I right?

Stephen Wolfe

HI, Sherry. Yes you are correct. That is the south end of the school, then North Junior High, later Pueblo Junior High and now the RISD Administrative Center ...or words to that effect. The library was on the second floor and peeking around the left side of the picture, you can see what was the band room. There have been some big changes over by that band room, specifically a ramp to meet ADA specs which leads to the Pueblo Auditorium.

Sherry Hester (Trasp)

Thanks Steve!! I thought that was the North Junior High as a remembered it! I did not realize there were so many Changes!! I loved that building. I remember the dances at noon!! Go Blue and Gold!!
