The snow is off the street....the temps are in the 40's, so it is melting away everywhere else.

This morning the local fire rescue dept shoveled our driveway and sidewalk....I think we got on an OLD PEOPLE list somewhere....


I wish they did that here

Thank you, Jane. I hadn't seen her in a couple of years. She had to be moved into a memory care facility. She was happy there, so that is good.

Happy is excellent considering the situation.

Nice photo.  With all you do there I am not surprised your photo was in the directories.

I neve knew the photo had been taken...it was a real surprise

Lovely photos from NYC and DR VIXMOM's church and directory.  She is becoming noticed.....I imagine the Synod has learned of her prominence.

I flew under the radar for many many years. Then I was noticed. That's how I ended up on the District Board for ten years.

It is nice to be appreciated even if what we do is for other reasons.

DR Elmore, what a lovely tribute to Pam.  I was going to ask you if I'd ever met her, but seeing her photo makes me think not.

DR Ginny, Pam came down every year to see me and the Jivettes shock Middletown.  Were you at the big party at Pam and Shirley's after the last one? Pam and her kids and their friend Marilyn had come down from Toledo.

I don't remember being at that party, but it sounds like I must have crossed paths with Pam at some point.

There was a delightfully campy ad for Grand Hotel in the 1990s with a lady with a foghorn voice saying "I loved it!"  and ended with her saying "I'm going to see it twice more." The interviewer asked when.  "As soon as I can get tickets.  My husband works in the area."

That famous "Grand Hotel" ad when Cyd Charisse stepped in

I LOVE IT!

The paella turned out well. I even managed to get a bottom crust to it. The pan will now have to soak for a long time.

Starting to watch Professor Marston and the Wonder Women. Rebecca Hall is very good. The script is kinda sloppy, lurid.

Back from dinner at the Smoke House - fish and chips and a small Caesar salad and of course a few pieces of the garlic cheese bread.  All great.

I think I have at last FINISHED the Reunion Slide Show.....I added a few more things and changed the music around - but now I think I will let it rest.

After the final final futzing, I was watching it for proofing - up came the slide of our Freshman Basketball Team - it looked great, except underneath it I had written - Our Freshman Football Team....

Not in THOSE uniforms.....I had to go back to the drawing board....but better seen at my house than at the REUNION!!

After all that food and wine last night, I was shocked to find my blood sugar reading this morning was very good.

I had the same situation yesterday, too...I'm sure that I ate too much of what I shouldn't have but my blood sugar was also lower than I expected.  Whew!

Thank you all for the condolences and sympathy.  I will miss Pam enormously.

The summer of 1968, I worked the Miami University summer theatre program before I became a graduate assistant in September.  One day a tall lanky blonde started working in publicity and the box office.  She had just graduated from St Mary of the Woods College in Terre Haute IN, married a student in the Miami University architecture program - which was a 5-year program - and the director of theatre offered her an assistantship for the fall.  I liked her enormously.

One of the past summer shows was In White America, and the scene designer Bill Rappel was one of the cast. The In White America photo in the lobby with other previous summer show photos showed every cast member but Bill, and he started bugging Pam about this.  "You'll never get your degree until you hang my photo," he warned her daily.

Then, one afternoon in our first year as grad assistants, we heard a loud scream and a long laugh from the men's room.  It was Bill Rappel.  He had gone into a toilet stall, closed the door, and saw his cast photo taped to the inside of the door with the note: NOW DO I GET MY DEGREE?

At that moment I fell headlong in love with Pam Hollenbeck, who passed away on Friday.  I will love her forever.

That's a great story, Larry.

The talkback ones were difficult to capture due to tricky exposure and the potential for blurring.  These few are more or less the cream of the crop.  Click to enlarge.



Great pictures, ChasSmith!

DR TCB, we met at Hawk's Prairie on December 3, 2016.

We drove up that day and met with everyone for lunch.  We had an enjoyable evening watching DR George in The Physician in Spite of Himself.

The following day we met DR George for lunch and then the 3 of us enjoyed the afternoon performance of It's a Wonderful Life with a terrific performance by that guy playing Potter.


That was all a lot of fun!
