Don't be so busy

making a life

that you forget

how to live.

David Cottrell

and

Mark Layton

Now this,

my friend,

is how we once

dresed for

Socials.

And I still do!

Develop

a passion

for learning.

If you do,

you'll never

cease to grow

Anthony J. D'Angelo

I'm sorry!

My suit

doesn't fit me

any more !

Politicians

are the only

people

in the world

who create

problems

and then

campaign

against them.

Back then,

I wore my

vest,

levis,

boots

and

Cowboy hat,

and

I'm still wearing

them today!

...and,

some where

down there,

is my

Solid GOLD

belt buckle,

too!

What separates

a politician

from a normal

human being

is an excessive

amount of

gall.

Where I

come from,

dressing up

is one step

above

a sweat shirt

and

levis

Frankly,

my Dear's,

We don't

give a d _ _ _

what you wear !

(darn)

Long ago

and far away,

in a land

that time forgot,

And Coke came

just in bottles,

and skirts

below the knee,

And

Castro

came to power

near the Land

That

Made Me Me.

Watcha

lookin' at,

Boy?

Heck with

the

dress code...

Let's Party!

Long ago

and far away,

in a land

that time forgot,

They send us

invitations

to join  AARP,

We've come a

long way, baby,

from the Land

That

Made Me Me.

I'm with you!

Where's my

tutu ?

Integrity

is not a ninety

percent thing…

not a

ninety-five

percent thing,

Either you

have it,

or

you don’t.

Peter Scotese

What do you

mean...

White men

can't

dance???

You'll like

this one

Chin up...

Long ago

and far away,

in a land

that time forgot,

And

middle-aged

was 35

and

old was 43,

And ancient

were our parents

in the Land

That

Made Me Me.

Can you

Remember ?

Long ago

and far away,

in a land

that time forgot,

So now we face

a brave new world

in  slightly larger

jeans,

And wonder why

they're using

smaller  print

in magazines.

I remember

when my

brother

was this tall.

Bob Hope,

ON TURNING 80

That's the time

of your life

when even your

birthday suit

needs pressing."

Yes Honey,

you have to dry

both sides of

the plate.

The easiest way

to find

something lost

around the house

is to buy a

replacement.

Howdy !

Have you ever

wondered

why we have

inflation

and

high taxes

if all the

politicians

are against

inflation

and

high taxes ?

Remember me?

Did you,

by chance,

drive down

Hudson Street?

...for old times

sake?

How would you

like to have

this in your

rear view

mirror ?

Were you born

before:

 television

penicillin

polio shots

frozen foods

Xerox

contact lenses

Frisbees and

the pill

Focus

In the 60's

couplesI got

married first, . .

and then

lived together.  

Every family

had a

father

and

a mother.

Just Gregg

Until we were

25,

we called every

man older

than us,

'Sir'.

And after we

turned 25,

we still called

policemen and

every man

with a title,

'Sir.'

Linda,

planning her

next move.

Our lives were

governed by the

Ten

Commandments

good judgment,

and

common sense.  

Serving

your country

is a privilege;

living

in this country

is a bigger

privilege.

 OLD IS WHEN:

 1. Going bra-less

pulls all the wrinkles

out of your face.

 2. You don't care where

your spouse goes,

just as long as you

don't have to

go a long.

 3. Getting a little

action

means I don't need

fiber today.

 4. Getting lucky

means

you find your car

in the parking lot.

 5. An all-nighter

means

not getting up

to pee!

Bob Hope,

on TURNING 70

"I still chase

women,

but only downhill".

Hmmm !

Christy would

sure like these

flowers.

 I used to eat a lot of

natural foods

until I learned that

most people die

of natural causes.

Don't even

think about it...

my wife already

paid me for those

flowers..

Garden Rule:

When weeding,

the best way

to make sure

you are removing

a weed

and not

a valuable plant

is to pull on it.

If it comes out

of the ground

easily,

it is a

valuable plant.

Coming soon...

In the 60's,

people took acid

to make the world

weird..

Now the world

is weird

and people take

Prozac

to make it normal.

I left you in charge,

now count the plates

again...

Like you,

I am a human being

filled with joys,

fears, frustrations,

and hopes.

And, like you,

I want to be

understood, accepted,

and appreciated.

Eric Harvey

and

Steve Ventura

One, two...

Have you ever

wondered why

we have deficits,

if both

the Democrats

and

the Republicans

are against

deficits?

Anything you

can do...

Wouldn't it be nice

if whenever we

messed up our life

we could simply press

'Ctr Alt Delete'

and start all over?

I can do

better

"A person who has

Like I was saying...

this is how we make

tortillas

in Texas.

Were you around

when

there were no:

credit cards

laser beams

or

ball-point pens

Time for a break

at the Catwalk

Join me next year.

You'll love it !

Man had not

invented:

pantyhose

air conditioners

dishwashers

clothes dryers

and

the clothes

were hung out to dry

in the fresh air

and

man hadn't yet

walked on the moon

Come join me at the

Catwalk

next year.

We were taught

to know the

difference

between

right and wrong

and to stand up

and take

responsibility

for our actions.

2009 Reunion

Following the Spring Football Scrimmage

and the Memorial Services for Connie in the Alumni Garden...

The Alumni Dinner was graciously hosted by Dr. and Mrs. Counts
