Hey, Floyd - thanks for the note. We fly out this weekend to the left coast to spend a week in the Big Sur area and then another with my son and family who pastors south of LA in the Orange County. Should be a good celebration.
Guess next year is 50th Polar reunion and hope to even convince the bride to show up and prove I actually was lucky enough to marry!

So good to hear from you. Thanks for all the information. Sounds like you've had a great 45 years since graduation. Maybe we'll see you at the 45th reunion. Keep in touch. I'll be updating the website with your information as well as the others I hear from.

I Love what you do, Bro
Amazed at the “snowflakes” even from our class. THANK YOU for what you do. Others may not like it, but it keeps me “in the loop” way out west. Had a right-brain stroke on Halloween (total left side paralyzed) and relapse in March but still preaching and just did first 3000 mile road trip with flying colors.
I looked at MY name and about 100 more. Noticed nothing from 50th (I brought my wife to prove I really AM happily married) and send these along.
And a couple others to clutter the site.
Can I send you a few $$ as a thank-you to help defray expense of the site? Not much – I’m a poor preacher and don’t make much money, either.

Sorry Bob for responding a little bit late but I have been working on a mailings for my military reunion and getting ready for the reunion in two weeks.
I'm Glad you're recovering thanks for all the photos and kind words. You owe me nothing my friend. All the work I'm doing on the class website is free. I enjoy doing it for the class of '66. But if you can say a prayer for all of us from North High class of '66. We are all living in turbulent times in this world. I'll update your new photos to the website today.
I hope it encourages other classmates to share their photos.
Looking forward to seeing no one I will recognize at the 45th. Thinking I had a couple of "circles" of friends - homeroom, band/orchestra, debate/forensics, basketball - but looking at the list of graduates in our class from the commencement program, I could only remember (vaguely) a few. And you all will probably think the same of me. Who is that tall dude? Blessings on the survivors. Just being alive is an accomplishment for our generation.
Bob
I look forward to seeing you at the 50th. Thanks for coming to the 45th.

Another day to give praise to the glory of God's
Be prepared. Plan ahead. Work hard so tasks will be easier for those who follow you. Teresa's health is fragile and she laid out songs, poems, verses for her funeral. Kinda morbid, but it it sets the mind at ease . . So scanning/preparing a 50-photo "tribute" to be played at a memorial. Talk about weird feeling. This week (before my birthday) I will post a few. And in a month will post some of hers. Remember, we're ALL 'terminal'; no one gets out of life alive. Preparation for eternity is priority #1
December 4, 2012 Memories of days gone by. Here is a pix of my visit to Santa (taken at Christmas 1952) with my sweet sister Nancy who went to be with the Lord in 1965. Yes, I was a one handsome dude even in kindergarten!!
Bob look at this as your Time Capsule.
This website will be up for 20+ years after I'm gone.
***Class of '66 send in Your Biography*** Thanks Bob for your BIO.
