Yes. She didn't do very well because if her brain damage from birth. I do
have 4 grandchildren who are living with different families. Randy and I
never had any of our own, just cats.
How are your three doing? Oh goodness, I just did the math, and they're now
the age we all were when we met.
From everything I have heard, Stevie was a wonderful person. I have heard
some grumbling over his special treatment from time to time, so I wanted to
cover my butt. I know the museum was tickled beyond belief to get the
yearbook and want the other 2 or 3 Randy left. If anyone has any vintage
items from the school days the museum is a good home. I was thinking of
Clayton's ballot box the other day, and wondering what happened to it.
Do you know a group of Linux guys, including Kirk Reiser, who work on
projects? Randy used to instant message them frequently, and I have no idea
how to contact them. Not sure if any of them were from Michigan or not.
They were also connected with an electronic book listserv.
On a side note, technically Randy and I had our first contact at msu. He
had advertised for reader and I called. He was quite rude. That's how I'm
sure it was him <giggle> I always joked that one day we could both have
regressive hypnosis to see if the phone number I called was his.
Looking forward to getting together this fall,
Inge
