Anne -
I remember that we did not practice much in the afternoons, with a couple of exceptions. Concerts, going to the Gator Bowl, and perhaps the concert band competition in the spring are the only things that come to mind. I remember TJ and I having to go to band rehearsal after a football practice only on rare occasions.
We certainly didn't put as much effort into as kids activities then as we do today, whether it be little league, scouts or whatever. And it sure costs more today too...or maybe I just wasn't able to understand the real cost in 1960's dollars back then.

A Near Death Experience
Saturday, I had a near death experience that has changed me forever. I went horseback riding. Everything was going fine until the horse starts bouncing out of control. I tried with all my might to hang on, but was thrown off. Just when things could not possibly get worse, my foot gets caught in the stirrup.
When this happened, I fell head first to the ground. My head continued to bounce harder as the horse did not stop or even slow down. Just as I was giving up hope and losing consciousness...............

Dear Lions,
For those of you who *need* an excuse to stay home from work, here are some good
samples:
- From a contest by the Washington Post -
- It it is all the same
to you I won't be coming to work. The voices told me to clean all the guns
today.
- When I got up this morning I took two Ex-Lax in addition to
my Prozac. I can't get off the john, but I feel good about it.
- I
set half the clocks in my house ahead an hour and the other half back an hour
Saturday and spent 18 hours in some kind of space-time continuum loop,
reliving Sunday (right up until the explosion). I was able to exit the loop
only by reversing the polarity of the power source exactly e*log(pi) clocks in
the house while simultaneously rapping my dog on the snout with a rolled up
Times. Accordingly, I will be in late, or early.
- My stigma's
acting up.
- I can't come in to work today because I'll be stalking
my previous boss, who fired me for not showing up for work. Ok?
-
I have a rare case of 48-hour projectile loprosy, but I know we have that
deadline to meet...
- I am stuck in the blood pressure machine down
at the Wal-Mart.
- Yes, I seem to have contracted some
attention-deficit disorder and, hey, how about them Skins, huh? So, I won't be
able to, yes, could I help you? No, no, I'll be sticking with AT&T, but
thank you for calling.
- Constipation has made me a walking time bomb.
- I just found
out that I was switched at birth. Legally, I shouldn't come in to work knowing
my employee records may now contain false information.
- The
psychiatrist said it was an excellent session. He even gave me this jaw
restraint so I won't bite things when I am startled.
- The dog ate
my car keys. We're going to hitchhike to the vet.
- I prefer to
remain an enigma.
- My mother-in-law has come back as one of the
undead and we must track her to her coffin to drive a stake through her heart
and give her eternal peace. One day should do it.
- I can't come
to work today because the EPA has determined that my house is completely
surrounded by wetlands and I have to arrange for helicopter transportation.
- I am converting my calendar from Julian to Gregorian.
- I am extremely sensitive to a rise in the interest rates.
- My
wife makes more money than I do, so I have to stay at home with our sick son.
- I refuse to travel to my job in the District until there is a
commuter tax. I insist on paying my fair share.
- I'm feeling a
little disgruntled this morning. You sure I should come in?
- I can't come in because the deadline is Monday and so far I only have seven different fun things to do with a barrel of snot.
Make it a great day!

Greetings Everyone,
I didn't " ride the bus " during high school, deprivation being close to my heart, but I was wondering who owned the buses that brought Bakerites from Ft. Benning. Were they military buses from the Ft. Benning Motor Pool or Columbus buses? I guess I should remember, but I don't.

School Buses
Probably the same private bus company that took us elementary kids from Benning Park to on-post schools. There were 2 elementary schools on post: one by the east gate (1st thru 4th grade) and another on main post near the commissary. The latter school was 5th thru 8th grade. Then it was off to Baker High.
The busses were big and yellow; I don't recall any other color. For 4th grade I was a bus monitor -- I still have my "security" badge, solid tin and real shiny! I remember in 5th grade: a kid with red hair ran out onto the street in front of an oncoming car and had his foot pinned under the rear tire of a car. The soldier got out of the car to look and did not realize that the car was still on top of the kid's foot. The kid's face is unforgettable even though that happened back in 1962. It was Dorrie Rodriguez' mother who called for emergency that morning. Dorrie's older sister was at Baker then, but I don't see her name on the alumni rolls -- maybe her dad transferred out before graduation.

I walked to school in 67 from Trask Drive.
What was the name of the housing area that Bull Creek ran through? My friend, Eddie lived over there in 63 or 64. He also walked to school at Baker.
It seemed like Trask drive was located slightly behind the school. There was a
store at the end of the street where we bought Pomac drinks and gum, then we
continued on to the school...then it seems like we walked through another
housing development. I remember balancing on the curbs as I walked. (I think
I lived at 3919 Trask Drive or maybe 3919 was my phone # then...) I remember
seeing the Exorcist that year and having trouble balancing on the curbs for
about 3 days...it unerved me. (that's how I remembered balance/walking the
curbs...I remembered seeing that movie for the lst time...) Strange how memories
can hang on to you. Traumatic experiences like the one you had...seeing the

Senior Ring
Well, the Baker get-together is just three weeks away, so I dug out my senior ring. Sure is pretty! Trouble is, every part of my body has gotten fatter in 32 years, including my fingers. It's off to the jeweler to get the ring resized. Sigh.
Oh, well... at least it doesn't have to be sized to fit my stomach!
The 1965 ring was really nice. For the man's ring, there's a blue stone in the center with the words Baker High School around it. On the wearer's left is the date 1943 and an image of the school. Below that is a shield with a torch in the center and images indicating scholarship, science, athletics and arts, with the inscription "Justice - Wisdom." Finally there is the word "Columbus" and an arrowhead. On the wearer's right is the date 1965, flanked by the U.S. and Georgia flags; below that is a ferocious Lion holding a "B" in its paws, with the inscription "Lions" and finally another arrowhead.
I've been trying to remember when we got our rings and how much they cost. I think we got them in the spring of '64, but I'm not sure. I don't recall how much they cost. Does anyone remember?
What did rings for other years look like?

A couple of women, Janice and Sherrill, were playing golf one sunny Saturday morning. Sherill, the first of the twosome teed off and watched in horror as the ball headed directly toward a foursome of men playing the next hole. Indeed, the ball hit one of the men, and he immediately clasped his hands together at his crotch, fell to the ground and proceeded to roll around in agony.
Sherrill rushed down to the man and immediately began to apologize. She then explained that she was a physical therapist and offered to help ease his pain. "Please allow me to help. I'm a physical therapist and I know I could relieve your pain if you'd just allow me!" she told him earnestly.
"Ummph, oooh, nnooo, I'll be alright...I'll be fine in a few minutes," he replied as he remained in the fetal position still clasping his hands together at his crotch. But she persisted, and he finally allowed her to help him.
She gently took his hands away and laid them to the side, loosened his pants and put her hands inside, beginning to massage him.
"Does that feel better?" she asked. "It feels great," he replied.

The witch doctor says "This is powerful healing but you can only use it once a year! All you have to do is say '123' and it shall rise for as long as you wish!"
The guy then asks the witch doctor "What happens when it's over?"
The witch doctor says "all you have to say is '1234' and it will go down. But be warned it will not work again for a year!"
The guy goes home and that night he is ready to surprise his wife with the good news....... So, he is lying in bed with her and says "123", and suddenly he gets an erection.

These friars were behind on their belfry payments, so they opened up a small florist shop to raise the funds.
Since everyone liked to buy flowers from the men in the really cute robes, the rival florist across town thought the competition was unfair. He asked the good fathers to close down, but they would not. He went back and begged the friars to close. They ignored him. He asked his mother to go and ask the friars to get out of business. They ignored her, too.
So, the rival florist hired Hugh MacTaggart, the roughest and most vicious thug in town, to "persuade" them to close. Hugh beat up the friars and trashed their store, saying he'd be back if they didn't close shop.
Terrified, they did so - thereby proving that Hugh, and only Hugh, can prevent florist friars.

No personal mail back and forth, etc. I guess we need to find something new and unusual to bitch and moan about, to get our juices flowing, and getting that blue Baker blood to boil. How about this "If a person with multiple personalities threatens suicide, is it a hostage situation?"
Or else we can all start matching Don, wit for wit, see who can tell the sickest jokes. I really thought that the Christopher Reeve joke would get somebody's ire, but alas, maybe we're all on vacation.

One should follow the animals...
When you follow the animals, take time to see what they're doing.
They stop to smell the flowers,
They stop to see the trees,
They stop to hear the rain fall,
They stop to see the sun set,
They stop to hear the thunder,
and they stop to enjoy it all.
I think we need to follow the animals and learn to relax and enjoy...

Tom,
Welcome! You're going to find any amount of Baker Bums
here on the Lions-L mailing list. Get ready... it's like the cafeteria in the
mornings before classes... mostly serious but anything goes.
The Class of '68 was three years after my time, so I can't help with the yearbook; I hope someone else can. (I doubt anyone will part with one, but maybe someone would Xerox a part of one for you or something.)
If you figure out how to get class schedules, etc. I *really* want to hear from

I'm looking for something to fill it up with. <grin>

Why don't we consider "cyber-casting" the party on the 28th for those who can't attend? We could get someone to bring a digital camera and could occassionally send a group shot or two.... And perhaps those not in attendance can send a return photo. I think I could provide copies of Microsoft Imager for those who need that type of software....

I already put out the possibility of using Netscape's "Cool Talk" to
link up with those who have it installed and have a microphone attached to
their computer and Joy's going to look into it.
What do the rest of you think? Do you want to be part of BHS posterity ? Heck yes, you do or you wouldn't be here.
I even thought about contacting the Atlanta Journal for a feature article on this whole Internet BHS thing. Maybe someone in Columbus could talk to the Ledger-Enquirer and get some coverage. I think we're pretty newsworthy. When you talk to non-BHS folks about this, don't they all say they wish their high school had something like this? We are so fortunate to have this site and I for one have throughly enjoyed the e-mail reunions we've been having. It's great to know you guys are actually coming here in two weeks. We can't wait!!

BTW, someone mentioned the police being able to handle this crowd and that reminded me that roadblocks are pretty common here in Rockdale to check for DUIs, insurance, license, etc. Hwy. 20 South leading to our house is a favorite site too so be forewarned - they usually set them up in the evening to early morning, I want your memories of Conyers to be untainted by a ticket, so be careful out there (I loved Hill Street Blues - didn't you?)

I also ran into several old Baker Bums. Cathie Morway "72 and Connie Waters-Smith '73. Cathie's son graduated with mine, and Cathie will be attending the 25th yr. reunion in Aug. Connie is still married to Bob Smith '72, and their daughter is a Junior in college. Cathie doesn't have a computer, but Connie does. So look for Connie and Bob to pop up any time now.

If you have it, or have heard it, you know what I mean. Relax and listen to the sounds and follow the animals through the wave of sounds and feelings of calmness.
When you get time, read the really fascinating album cover. Its a translucent, amber colored, parchment textured plastic. Its got some wild cover lyrics, that can be awe fully deep and inspiring in the right condition.
Which brings me to my point. To fully understand all that we come in contact with... we can only appreciate everything if we view it as the animals do.
So follow the animals sometime and enjoy what you see... and don't expect anything... simply take it for what it the way you find it.

Seriously, I'd like to nominate Jeanne Penny. Her contributions to humanity may or may not be measurable. I, for one, suspect they are significant. However, what she has done for BHS alumni will prove to be, I am certain, unfathomable.
Her idea is on the cutting edge of this new technology we call the information highway. It has given new meaning to the term reunion. I never dreamed I would hear from Sunshine again. Nor did I imagine that I would have an opportunity to share with him just how much I admired him through the years. Then, just this morning, I received email from a long lost friend.

Subject: Odds and ends re our gathering
Hey guys, if you're not coming to the get-together, feel free to delete this e-mail - it's going to be long, but I thought this was the easist thing to do and include info some of you have requested.
First, best wishes from the Williams family to the bride and groom. Jeanne, glad you're hitched before this party - we wouldn't want to scare him off for you. We want to see pics when you get here. Too bad brother Jim('68) can't stay until the next week-end and party with us.
Don et al., you can print out a door-to-door map to our house from your house by typing in "mapquest.com" on your search engine and clicking on the "Trip Quest" section once you get there. Your destination is Azalea Cir. Conyers, GA 30208. It will give you driving directions and a map you can print.
DIRECTIONS for those not using MapQuest - here goes:
I-20 East from Atlanta exiting at Conyers-Monroe exit (#42). Come up the ramp and turn right. Drive about 2 miles straight down GA Hwy 20 (not to be confused with the interstate). You'll pass along the "shopping strip" and look for the Publix grocery store on your left as the end of the commercial sector. The 3rd subdivision sign on your left will be Martha's Vineyard (Lutheran Church will be on right side of road). Turn left into Martha's Vineyard on Vineyard Dr. and come down into Irwin Place where you see the lake. Take the first left street past the lake - Azalea Circle - our house will be the 5th house on the right - two-story stucco with circular driveway. Number deleted is painted on the first curb cut driveway entrance.
PARKING INFO - you can park on one side of the street all up and down Azalea. There is a connecting street (Camellia) right in front of our house that leads to another section of Irwin Place - you can park all up and down that street and on the street with which it intersects(Jimson Circle). If we run out of room, the swim-tennis parking lot is on Jimson Circle. My teenage boys and their friends can shuttle you here after you park there. If you want to join up with a friend in a carpool from a central location, the best place would probably be the Publix shopping center lot you passed.
YEAH to the digital camera and "Sandmen" band tape that will be coming. Thanks, Don and Phil.
I did contact my AJC person and she is passing the idea by her editor. My mom spoke to someone at Columbus Ledger-Enquirer and they were not interested in the story (man oh man, if we were having that nude reunion that Don wanted, wanna bet they would be interested then ;-)? Guess we're not sensational enough for Columbus tastes.
Someone asked about posting a list of folks coming, but I hesitate to do that - never know who's lurking out there and finding out who won't be home that evening. Suggestions? Even if I listed initials and graduation year, some one could figure it out. Suffice it to say that we're anticipating between 120 and 150 folks. I think you'll find SOMEONE you can relate to in all that crowd - so come on. A LOT of the regular discussion list folks are coming and there have many phone calls made to non-computer folks (I called Judy Salazar, Ray and Ann Moore, Mike Lothner, Pete Cutler, Lynda Bruce and Debbie Simmons from '68 to name a few. ) Others have called members of their class too. Moon Mullins and Jan, Debbie T. L. tells me you need a nudge to come - hey you better get yourself here - you'll kick yourself later. Don, inviting Newt was something we all were overlooking - glad you made the effort - what do you think the chances are he'll attend? Slim to none;-).
Plans are forthcoming for the cyber-cast of this thing, so all of you who could "just spit" because you can't make it will not be forgotten.
So throw that lawn chair in you car, load up your special sharing dish, plan on being here by 7:30pm Sat. June 28 and dress casual. I found the words to the alma mater. Also found some old Lion's Roar newpapers. Did y'all remember Sunshine was voted Pres. of the Bi-City Student Council? Also had the article on me having a boa constrictor for a pet - - do y'all remember Senior Skits that included "Balboa" the boa?
BTW, Ann Riley Moore could use our help. Does anyone remember where the majorette uniform is that she brought to the 25th reunion of '68 grads? If someone in Columbus could call the organizers of that reunion (was it Lance?), perhaps she could be reunited with a keepsake. It would make her day.
Can't wait to see you all - Congrats on wading thru this massive missive, but time is growing short and there's much to do to be ready for you guys. Our porch addition will be ready, so Debbie T. Lowery and my sister Lisa won't have to come early to sling paint. YEAH!

A LITTLE BET
A little old lady walked into the main
branch of the Chase Manhattan Bank holding a large paper bag in her hand. She
told the young man at the window that she wished to take the 3 million dollars
that she had in the bag and open an account with the bank. But first, she said
that she wished to meet the president of the bank due to the rather large
amount of money involved.
After looking into the bag and seeing
bundles of $1,000.00 dollar bills which could have amounted to $3 million
dollars, he called the president's office and saw to it that the old lady met
with him.
The lady was escorted up stairs and ushered into the
president's office.
Introductions were made and she stated that she
liked to know the people that she did business with on a more personal level.
The president then asked her how she came into such a large amount of
money "was it inheritance?" he asked.
"No,"
she replied. He was quiet for a minute trying to think where she could have come
into $3 million.
"I bet" she stated.
"You bet!" repeated the president. "As in horses?"
"No," she replied, "I bet on people."
Seeing his confusion, she explained that she just bets different things with
people. All of the sudden she said "I'll bet you $25,000.00 that by 10:00
am tomorrow your balls will be square". The bank president figured that she
must be off of her rocker and decided to take her up on the bet. He didn't see
how he could loose.
For the rest of the day he was very careful. He
decided to stay home that evening and take no chances - there was $25,000.00
at stake.
When he got up in the morning and took his shower, he
checked to make sure that everything was OK. There was no difference, he
looked the same as he always had. He went to work and waited for the little old
lady to come in at 10:00, humming as he went. He knew that this would be a good
day,how often do you get handed $25,000.00 for doing nothing?
At
10:00 am sharp, the little old lady was escorted into his office. With her was a
younger man. When the president inquired as to the purpose for being there, she
informed him that he was her lawyer and that she always took him along when
there was a large amount of money involved.
"Well",
she asked, "what about our bet?"
"I don't know
how to tell you this," he replied, "but I'm the same as I always have
been, only $25,000.00 richer!" The lady seemed to accept this, but
requested that she be able to see for herself.
The president thought
that this was reasonable and dropped his trousers. She instructed him to bend
over then she grabbed hold of him. Sure enough everything was fine. The
president then looked up and saw her lawyer banging his head against the wall.
"What's wrong with him?" the president asked.
"Oh him," she replied, "I bet him $100,000.00 that by
10:00 this morning that I would have the president of Chase Manhattan Bank by
the balls."

Hey Bums ! Just found out this evening on the news--Lawrence Payton, one of the " Four Tops" passed away today ---Natural Causes---59 years old---young in my book.
I have had the pleasure of singing with the "Four Tops" on two occassions (sp?) ---at a Georgia-Auburn Party---around 1979-80 and then the Georgia Jaycee convention---maybe l980 ?
I had the "extreme pleasure" of having these guys on flights of mine over the years ( three different times)---the last time ironically was they were going to Lawrence's fathers' funeral in Columbia, SC--- about three years ago---
My heart aches for them --- We have all been through like 20 different "Temptations" in at least 100 different outfits---The "Four Tops" have always been there---these guys were together for like 40 years---just "Ask The Lonely"---ask me---My heart breaks for these guys that have made such an impression on me through the years---"Standing in the Shadows of Love--- Sugar Pie Honey Bunch"---"Bernadette"---I hope that they will be able to go on without Lawrence---Levi, Obie, Duke, I love all of Ya'll to pieces---

Old man Murphy had worked down at the brewery for years, but one day he
just wasn't paying attention and he tripped on the walkway and fell over
into the beer vat and drowned.
The foreman thought it should be his
job to inform the widow Murphy of her old man's death. He showed up at the
front door and rang the bell. When she came to the door, he said, "I'm
sorry to tell you, but poor old Murphy passed away at work today when he fell
into the vat and drowned."
She wept and covered her face with
her apron and after a time, between sobs, she asked, "Tell me, did he
suffer?"
"I don't think so," said the foreman, "He
got out three times to go to the men's room."

PENGUINS
A Mexican newspaper reports that bored Royal Air
Force pilots stationed on the Falkland Islands have devised what they consider a
marvelous new game. Noting that the local penguins are fascinated by airplanes,
the pilots search out a beach where the birds are gathered and fly slowly along
it at the water's edge.
Perhaps ten thousand penguins turn their heads in unison watching the planes go
by, and when the pilots turn around and fly back, the birds turn their heads in
the opposite direction, like spectators at a slow-motion tennis match. Then,
the paper reports, "The pilots fly out to sea and directly to the penguin
colony and fly over it. Heads go up, up, up, and ten thousand penguins fall
over gently onto their backs."

A seaman meets a pirate in a bar, and they take turns telling of their adventures on the high seas.

The pirate replies, "We were in a storm at sea and I was swept overboard into a school of sharks. Just as my men were pulling me out, a shark bit me leg off."
"Wow!" said the seaman. "What about your hook?"
"Well ...." replied the pirate, "We were boarding an enemy ship and were battling the other sailors with swords. One of the enemy cut me hand off."
"Incredible!" remarked the seaman. "And how did you get the eye patch?"
"A seagull dropping fell into me eye", replied the pirate.
"You lost your eye to a seagull dropping?" the sailor asked incredulously.
"Well ...." said the pirate, ".... it was me first day with the hook."

Subject: Directions to the Conyers BHS bash
Hey to all you traveling Lions! If you're not one padding down to Conyers, you can delete this message. I'm sending this to both lists as to not miss anyone.
The Lion pride is gathering Sat. night about 7:30pm. Come casual and BYOB.
DIRECTIONS
Take I-20 East from Atlanta. Exit at Conyers-Monroe (#42) (about 12 miles out from I-285). Come up the ramp, turn right and stay on GA Hwy 20 going south for approximately 2 miles. You're passing the "shopping strips" and the Publix on your left will be the last commercial development before the residential parcels. After Publix, turn left on the 3RD street (it will be across from the Lutheran Church on your right.) The subdivision sign will say Martha's Vineyard and you'll be on Vineyard Dr. all the way down around the lake. After passing the lake, the 1st left turn is Azalea Circle and our house is the 5th on the right (#deleted is on the curb by the driveway entrance). Look for the 2 story stucco with circular drive.
PARKING - park all up and down Azalea Circle on the right side. You can also park on the short connecting street (Camellia Dr.) in front of our house that leads to another section of the subdivison and on the street that intersects with Camellia called Jimson Circle.
If we run out of room, our boys are available to shuttle folks in their cars from the neighborhood swim-tennis parking lot on Jimson Circle. Look for the dark green and dark blue Volvos with teenagers driving. Rest assured, there will be enough parking, although you may have a short walk to the house. Some of you have already planned car pools from the hotels and that's great. The Publix shopping center (turn left at the light with Sonny's BBQ )is also a meeting place to consolidate vehicles.
Bob Brown will bring the name tags so we can connect names with faces.
Y'all are going to be AMAZED at the distance people are coming to see everyone. I've gotten several e-mails and phone calls the last couple of days. So come on.
The dishes you're bringing to share sound scrumptious - what "gourmets" you've become!! We'll have plenty of soft drinks, ice, cups, plates, etc.
2 days and counting! Can't wait, can you? Y'all drive safe.
REMEMBER that police road check I told you about near Publix where you have to show proof of insurance and driver's license - . well, it was up and going last Sat. night when Jim and I came back from his 30th reunion bash - so be prepared!!! This county is cracking down on DUI and no insurance folks.
See you soon. Pam and Jim

Cinderella
Cinderella wants to go to the ball, but her wicked stepmother won't let her. As Cinderella sits crying in the garden, her fairy godmother appears, and promises to provide Cinderella with everything she needs to go to the ball, but only on two conditions. "First, you must wear a diaphragm."
Cinderella agrees. "What's the second condition?" "You must be home by 2a.m. Any later, and your diaphragm will turn into a pumpkin." Cinderella agrees to be home by 2.
The appointed hour comes and goes, and Cinderella doesn't show up. Finally, at 5 a.m., Cinderella shows up, looking love-struck and *very* satisfied.
"Where have you been?" demands the fairy godmother. "Your diaphragm was supposed to turn into a pumpkin three hours ago!!!"
"I met a prince, Fairy Godmother. He took care of everything."
"I know of no prince with that kind of power! What was his name?"
"I can't remember, exactly ... Peter Peter, something or other...."

It seems the US Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has a unique device for testing the strength of windshields on airplanes. The device is a gun that launches a dead chicken at a plane's windshield at approximately the speed the plane flies. The theory is that if the windshield doesn't crack from the carcass impact, it'll survive a real collision with a bird during flight.
It seems the British were very interested in this and wanted to test a windshield on a brand new, speedy locomotive they're developing. They borrowed the FAA's chicken launcher, loaded the chicken and fired. The ballistic chicken shattered the windshield, went through the engineer's chair, broke an instrument panel and embedded itself in the back wall of the engine cab. The British were stunned and asked the FAA to recheck the test to see if everything was done correctly.
The FAA reviewed the test thoroughly and had one recommendation:
"Use a thawed chicken".

I was employed by Pratt & Whitney for 8.5 years. On a business trip to the Hartford, CT plant, I was lucky enough to get to visit the engine test cell. Here, they would mount a JT9D jet engine and run it up to 100% thrust, while hundreds of test instruments measured every imaginable number.
As part of this test, they also would shoot a dead (and thawed) chicken out of a cannon directly at the intake of the jet engine. In theory, it was supposed to simulate a bird strike. Most of the time the engine would continue running with only minimal damage and the poor chicken was totally disintegrated. The instruments would flutter for about a half second when the bird hit the blades rotating at 10,000 r.p.m.

Hey all you lions,
If you didn't get to Conyers last night, you missed a treat. Lions stayed until 2:45am and we had a ball. We'll fill you in later. The digital camera didn't make it (more about that later too), but the flash camera was working overtime.
The host and hostess were up at 7:00am to get sons off to Furman soccer camp and we're getting dressed now to meet several alumni at IHOP for breakfast at 10:00. So let me get going, albeit a bit slowly this am.
We appreciate all who "partied in spirit" with us. Lynn, did you enjoy your gin and tonic and James Taylor concert? I bought a new VCR and plugged in the VCR+ program number only to find later I had recorded the religious 700 Club!!! Now I know listening to JT is a religious experience, but hey - I think I went a little too far. Maybe someone was trying to tell me something, Anyway I sure am glad I also watched the A&E broadcast in another room so it wasn't a total loss.
Will check in later and so will others. We're already talking about doing this again so everyone must have had a good time, right?
