Gwen Meier
 

I am just cracking up over this e-mail.??? I never could figure out ?how all those nicknames came about.????? I have to tell a little story.?????When I would visit my mother (she's in Shady Lawn Nursing Home), I would often see Bill McFarren there, visiting his wife,?Betty.??? When Betty died, I sent him a card and told him I had good memories of his wife.??? He responded with a note addressed to "Gwen & Cleo Meier".???? Just too funny!!!!!!!?

From my memory Look below about 20 lines down:

Blank spaces (I can't figure out how to delete all these blank lines).
I'm an accountant, not a word processor person. If it's not on a
spreadsheet, I can't function logically.

Nickname genealogy:

Researched today.

From my memory (which may not always be intact anymore), here are my
recollections of nicknames for several of our class members:

Weasel (me): On one of the back roads around Dalton (of which there are
many), I spotted some kind of varmint in front of the car. I don't
recall who was driving. Anyways, this beast darted in front of our
speeding car (Ford, Chevy or some Mopar car) and I thought it was a
weasel. Everyone laughed and hence the name--Weasel.

Schminck (John Hare): I'm not sure about this name but I suspect it is
in tandem with me being called Weasel. I think he was then called Mink
which somehow got twisted into Schminck. This is just a guess.

Cash (Jerry Amstutz): He always enjoyed playing cards and seemed to
always win and then he got the name Cash. Another guess.

Hebe (Herb Eberly): This must have been a variation of his first and
last name.

Friction (Keith Goudy): Can't figure this one out.

Shook Up (Don Johnson): Sometimes got shook up--hence the name.

Lammy(Lanny Royer): A derivative of Lanny.

Cat (Harold Saurer): Cat like quickness.

Lymmie (Lynn Weikert): A derivative of Lynn.

If anyone else had nicknames, I don't remember them. If the stuff above
is wrong, who cares?

It makes good conversation. Any error corrections would be appreciated.
