| Message: | I look forward to seeing friends, (I was going to say old classmates but I don't feel a bit old and I hope you don't either). Richard Autry, (class of '65) and his wife Sandy (Chuna) class of '67 stopped by a few weeks ago and spent the night. They live near Oklahoma City and are retired. We have exchanged Christmas cards for years and it was just wonderful to see them. They have such a deep historical knowledge of the early 60's Firebaugh era that my brother Harry and I were deeply impressed. The people of Firebaugh and Dos Palos etched their mark on us. We travel a lot and on a trip to Europe we found ourselves alone in a Benedictine Monastery Library. The acoustics were perfect. I started yodeling Cattle Call. Joanne looked at me like I was way out of my mind and I said I was sorry but I was raised in Firebaugh and I'm doing this for those who will never get here. | |
