Thank you, Andy. ?If it weren¡¯t for you and also your video disc of the last day of high school on 8mm film, my memory of days past would be very hazy. ?Please don¡¯t hesitate sending me anything that¡¯s easy for you to uncover, and I hope your garage is less of a jungle than mine is. ?I didn¡¯t have my own camera until I finished college, and prior to that, I have hazy memories and very few photos. ?A good memory I have, however, is your receiving the social studies award when we finished high school. ?Congratulations again!

You all look wonderfull to me in that picture.?? The pictures of the quilts and all is food for this old sole. -Stephen Hatch
