Do you remember the comic strip Alley Oop from our youth? Dr. Elbert Wonmug had a time machine that brought Alley and all his friends into the 20th century, or 20th century folk back to the stone age. Far fetched you say? Wait a minute CV friends.
Just today Wayne and I were blogging (that’s what we do these days) about Judy Gorton, a common friend from KU days. Then Wayne wrote about “little Nadine Foster” and Nadine came clearly into my memory just as I remember her—no bigger than a minute and faster than greased lightning. Judy Gorton exists in my memory as that 20-year-old beauty, with dewy complexion and a smile that would melt any young man’s heart. Dick Williams is still that slim, blond youth that I last saw at CVHS graduation. These folks still exist, just as they were back then even though they must be in their 60s or even 70 by now. Is that a time machine or what? Our time machine is our memories and that’s why I’m having so much fun bringing all the past back and hearing all your stories. Keep the time machine going friends. Dr. Wonmug has nothing on us!

Well, Gary ... without your initiative the memories of all who cross this path would have been more or less frozen. Someone reading this may be the next blogger to participate and unwrap more memories. Actually, some of the blogs have given me completely NEW information.
You seem to always have an interesting way of looking at a problem or situation.
