Wow, I am glad to see all are back! I was afraid that after Bill L. helped that lady find her phone, this site had been "kicked off the air"! (ala twitter)
Sherry you have should bopped down from Alba-quirky ...btw don't you love emogies too bad this site has so few to work with, it is irritating don't you thinkoh well,
I will be back in Ten o sea on the 8th and enjoying that 90 degree weather!!!
Great looking group there, except maybe for....well, I won't mention any names, but his initials are Rex. (jk) Looks like a good time was had by all...
I woul like to thank Rex and Marilyn for making the Gathering possible. It wasn't easy in these crazy Covid times. Finding restaurants with outdoor seating to accommodate our group was not an easy task! Everything came together well, and we had a great time! Thank you, too, to Alice and Mavk for sharing your green chili fries at Caliente Grill, They were to die for! Although we missed several of the regulars, It was wonderful seeing those who were able to make it again. I'm already looking forward to next years Gathering!
Thanks for your kudos regarding the Gathering 2021! I really appreciate it and sure Marilyn will as well! My grandpappy used to say: "There is no such thing as a problem. Problems are only 'situations' waiting to be solved'! Again, thanks to Marliyn for squeezing our group in at Grill Caliente Saturday evening. It was great to visit with friends... and the camaraderie was genuine!
Some of us good ole boys discussed the initiation hazing John L. may recieve at the next Gathering. That is... when he quits 'loitering' behind then-thar Inuit igloos way up north in "Ah'll Ask-her"...
I,too would like to join Saundra in expressing my sincere thanks to Marilyn & Rex for setting up the Ruidosa Gathering & finding such comfortable restaurants to meet our needs & help make it so easy for us that made it to partake in the comradire. It was wonderful to see everyone again after such a harsh year behind us. Many were sorely missed but so sppreciative of those who could make it and gather with us. Til next time, best wishes in all you do.
Little delayed with wishing all in September a happy birthday. My wife, son and I all had covid and are now over it. Glad everyone got to meet at the gathering.
I will echo John D in belatedly wishing all the Septemberites a Happy Birthday.
I am sure that Rex will be glad to know I am back ridge running in Tenner-sea as of yesterday afternoon (the 27 hour travel trip from Hades) and another long story in the age of covid...
So far I am adjusting to the jet lag and the 80 plus temps.
Wahl Ah'll be Hornswaggered! If it ain't Nonookie of "Ah'll Ask-her" returnin' from Way Up North...Johnny Horton style! Sorry ta haf ta be the one ta tell ya this... but the G-men done trashed all yer granpappy's moonshine stills! So fer sho, yo gonna be a hill-runnin' Tinnysea Ridge-runner and then some!
John L. with all this monthy "happy birthday all y'all" jazz ... it appears you and John D. may be twins? If So, how did you wind up with different last names...?
I can find no direct relationship between John D and myself.
I guess that "our" only excuse was that we were both raised with social graces and good manners, which of course, lead us both to be suave (swah-vuy) gentlemen!

John L
What! Did you slip and forget to include the word debonair? Wasn't that you strolling down the hallways of RHS wearing a pair of button-up Levis, a T shirt, sporting a 1960's 'Ben Gazzara' Ascot...?
my heart goes to you, and your family. I am deeply sorry for your loss. Johnny was so special, I have some very special memories of him, when we were kids. He was always so kind. I think that Gene, Russie, Mike, Freddy, Hankins, Sanford, Henry, and so many more are planning a great reuinon when they see Johnny .. This truly a sad day.
Lynn LynnLynn ...,, I am so shocked & so very very sorry. I am grateful for getting to have that visit w/ him when Sherry was here. I truely didn't expect this to happen so soon. You are in my prayers. Take care of yourself & hang in there.
I am shocked and saddened to learn of John's passing. My condolences and best wishes for Lynn, Todd, and Scott, as well as John's close friends. John was instumental in helping our classmates keep in touch. He will be dearly missed!
