Well hello all,     As I would guess all of you know from over the years I love Scrabble.  So the news I want to share I will break into 3 Scrabble plays,                                                                  M I S S                         R E M I S S                         R E M I S S I O N but before I get into that I want to thank all the people who made my 40th Class re-union a success. The Humboldt high school Class of 1979 was on July 6th and huge success. Thanks to Scot and Traci Goodell for hosting in the great facility and big thanks to all the planning committee and all who helped. Super Food, Super Memorabilia and decorations. Fear of leaving anyone out prevents me from naming you all  but huge cudos .  The only thing I missed was a rousing version of           We're Loyal to you Humboldt High, To the Blue and the Gold, Humboldt High:           We'll back you to stand, you're the Beast in the Land, for we know you are Grand,                                  Humboldt High. Rah rah rah            So smash out their balls Humboldt High,            We're backing you all, Humboldt High. Our team is something or other  {fame protector?}           On team , cause we expect a Victory from you HUMBOLDT HIGH!!!                            After returning from Iowa City and an hour plus consult with great Dr. there Dr. Carter I am now considered in Remission. At least for now I do not have any active/ growing Cancer!!! So I am in remission, in renew stage, time for a new mission. New directions and opportunities/ What, where  and when to be determined. Being here and able to spend time with, and hopefully be of assistance to, my Mother is where I shall begin.   The pretty bad Chemo side effects that I have are likely to be permanent and I will just be happy for them.  So-o-o-o  hallelujah!!!!            Now for some more silly mind wanderings for the 79 Destroyers.                       {all from songs we knew and loved so hum or sing along. yes this is how cray cray my brain works}         Have you wondered if   Betty lu's getting out tonight?  Is Betty-lu getting out tonight?  She was bad, her Momma got mad, but now Daddy says its alright!!  all the boys are getting ready to fight , betty Lu getting out tonight!!! Oh My        or this one- Does Randy Rich know that  "the Devil went down to Georgia, looking for a soul to steal??"          Where have you gone. Dana Robinson? Heaven holds a place for those who pray, hey hey hey!
