“We are still here too! I’m still at Ivy Tech and John is still retired. John had eye surgery and has regained his sight in his left eye. My mother, who in January was diagnosed with Bone Cancer – Stage 4, is doing much better so I thank everyone for their concern and prayers. Sure would like to hear from everyone else too!”

7/11/06: Just wanted to report that I’m still around…and I sent out an email today to everyone to remind them that the good old website is still around too. If you’re reading this but didn’t get the email, then I don’t have your up-to-date address, so please send it to me!
As part of that email, I also passed along to everyone that I have a new place for them to visit. It’s a music blog that I put together, and it’s meant especially for people who like geezer music…but even if you don’t think that’s you, take a look – you might be surprised!

5/5/06: Just thought I’d report that Ken Boehm and I had one of our “half-way meetings” again earlier this week. We met in Hoopeston, Illinois, this time (last time was in Kentland, Indiana) and had a good lunch and even played a little pool! It was a good place to meet but was probably a little closer to me than it was to Ken. Maybe next year we’ll try a different town.

3/1/06 Excerpts from an email from Ken Boehm:
“… last Friday my good friend Kurt Nebel’s wife passed away from lung cancer…you may remember Kurt was the human resource person at Wabash and I.P. I know you met him and I know a lot of the folks in T.H. knew Kurt and liked him. He worked with us for 20 so years. His wife’s name was Joan Nebel and she passed on 2/24/06. If anyone would like to send him a card and do not have his address I can give it to you.* I know Brenda was close to Kurt and I am sure she has his address. If you need any info let me know.”
