I DON'T THINK THAT I'M THE ONLY ONE WHO WANTS TO TALK TO AND SEE MY OLD FRIENDS FROM NILEHI. WITH THE VOLATILE WORLD WE LIVE IN IT IS NICE TO THINK BACK TO SIMPLER TIMES WHERE WE ONLY HAD 1 OR 2 WORLD ENEMIES. OUR PARENTS WEREN'T WORRIED ABOUT THEIR 401K'S AND EVERYBODY KNEW THEIR NEIGHBORS. I KNOW THAT IT WASN'T ALL THAT ROSY BUT I LIKE TO THINK THAT WAY. RECENTLY I HAVE TALKED TO A FEW MORE CLASSMATES. STEW ROPER IS IN LAKE HAVASU, ARIZONA AFTER A LONG CAREER IN THE MARINES WHERE HE SERVED IN 4 WARS. BOB ZENDER IS WITH MERRILL LYNCH IN CHICAGO AND STILL PLAYS GOLF WITH TOM RAKOWSKI AND MITCH MELAMED. I TRIED TO TALK TO PETER MUELLER (SAN DIEGO) AND BOB SARNOFF (CHICAGO) BUT I COULDN'T GET PAST THEIR SECRETARIES. I SPOKE TO LINDA JOHNSON (DES PLAINES) AND SHARON KUESTER (MORTON GROVE). THEY WERE BOTH VERY SURPRISED TO HEAR FROM AN OLD CLASSMATE. I ALSO SPOKE WITH STEVE ELKINS (HIGHLAND PARK) AND HE MENTIONED THAT ONE OF HIS CLIENTS WAS CAROL VIRGILIO. WE RECEIVED A NOTE FROM BRONSON DAVIS AND HE MENTIONED THAT HE WOULD FORWARD THIS WEBSITE TO BILL FISHER AND TOD WISE WHO BOTH LIVE IN MEXICO. I THINK STEW ROPER MENTIONED THAT THEY WERE IN LAREDO. IF WE ALL CONTINUE TO CONTACT A FEW FORMER FRIENDS FROM OUR CLASS WE SHOULD HAVE THE LINK TO MOST OF OUR OVER 900 MEMBERS. THEN THE REUNION WOULD REALLY BE A BLAST.
