Good times last night, good food, cold beer, nice evening of weather, good turn out and thanks to Johnny, Jackie, Barbara, Jimmie Lee, Tom and anyone else involved in making it happen.
As I have said before but it bears repeating; You can’t make old friends, you either gottem’ or you don’t! And I feel lucky to have a few from our school days.
Missed seeing Brian Copeland, Gary Mosley, Linda Webster and others, I hope all is well in their world but so glad to see the very familiar crowd that nearly always turns out plus folks like Skeeter, Hennie, Jimmie Lee, Jimmy Stockton, Bradley Seals who have to travel greater distances .
If our parents are rightfully referred to as the ‘Greatest Generation’ as coined by Tom Brokehall surviving the great depression and WWII, those of us that were born immediately after the war (and think about it, we are the leading edge of the ‘baby boomers’) may be the ‘Luckiest Generation’ growing up in Duberry RFD in an economically smooth, downhill way of life. Yea sure we made our share of mistakes, especially me, but we succeeded in life in so many ways; family, education, meaningful careers, wealth and most importantly, we have friends – lucky, lucky, lucky.
