Hi Dave,
DD> I`ve an invitation to the 65th of my class from Shattuck/St.Mary`s in
DD> Faribault, MN. Parsed the list of class members and was both saddened
DD> that there are only five of us above ground. And gladdened that I am
DD> one of those five.
RH> I never got word of a high school 50th reunion but it was in the worst
RH> of covid so probably never happened. Either that or info was sent to my
RH> old home address and my brother didn`t send it on to me. Don`t know how
RH> many of a class of 63 have passed away, know that several have.
DD> You probably did public high school. I got bundled off to a church-run
DD> "academy" on advice of my public-school principal, Seems I was bored
DD> out of my gourd with the curriculum in my 8th grade classes and was
DD> just "phoning it it".
Only thing available in our area was public school. Don`t know if towns
an hour away (in good weather) had any private schools or not, never
heard of any. I know the school has had multi year class reunions; my
older brother went to one before he passed away but haven`t heard of any
in years. Then too, I don`t stay in touch with anyone from my high
school class, tho I was hoping to make contact at a 50 year reunion with
some of my classmates.
DD> Talk about an eye-opener. They certainly did challenge me.
Probably better off in the long run.
RH> Last night`s meal was a catered one--buffet of roast beef, chicken,
RH> broccoli, baby carrots, tossed salad, rolls, assorted fruit (almost
RH> golf ball size grapes) and peach or pecan pie. I think they`re planning
RH> left overs for tonight; we were all well fed but there was a lot of
RH> food for about 45 people. On to Hamvention tomorrow with another
RH> banquet on Saturday when this group will be officially named "Club of
RH> the Year".
We had left overs on Wednesday night, then I got two pint containers of
roast beef in juice, a wedge each of the pies and a sandwich bag of M&Ms
for "road food". Friday at the Hamvention for lunch I had a pork
tenderlion sandwich (minus most of the bread), supper was (most of) a
chef`s salad. Yesterday at the hamvention I had an Italian sausage on a
bun with pepper and onions; supper buffet banquet was prime rib (really
good), some garlic mashed potatoes (I think they left the garlic out),
mixed veggies (zuchinni, yellow squash, carrots and grape tomatoes),
a couple of bites of a terrible veggie lasagna, a ho hum tossed salad
and cheesecake with a strawberry topping. So far today I`ve had
leftovers from Thursday (shake, melted but still good) and Friday
(chef`s salad, wilted down but still pretty good). Onward and out of
here tomorrow.
DD> My problem with buffet banquets is remembering to bring my own
spices DD> as the food is prepped "lowest common denominator". Salt,
pepper and DD> Mrs. Dash do come in handy.
They had salt & pepper but I didn`t bother with any.

Catch you later,
