Larry, I look forward to hearing about your doings over the past couple of
decades. It's really a delight hearing from people I haven't heard from or
about in years. Cyberspace is a friendly, not a frightening place, though!
Less intrusive than making phone calls and less formal than writing
letters. I bet a lot more of our classmates have gotten on-line over the
last two years. Even my 76-year-old mother is on-line!

BTW, although I visit the Summit area every once and a while, I just
recently had a chance to visit Summit virtually at the not-too-bad Summit
Online web site at http://www.new-jersey.com/summit/. I note that Dr.
Geddis is still principal at SHS and our favorite bellowing social studies
teacher cum football coach from junior high--that's right, EMIL
GEORGE!!!--is now the vice-principal. Tom Quinn and Anthony Wharton used to
do very good impressions of him . . . .

I don't know why this just popped into my mind but I just had this
flashback of going into Windhorst Liquors (long gone) on Broad Street with
Larry trying to buy underage. Boy, things were different then. I hope
you're not with the N.J. Alco. Bev. Comm'n now, Larry, and I've wrecked
your chances for a promotion!

Nobody heard him, the dead man,
But still he lay moaning:
I was much farther out than you thought
And not waving but drowning.
