I missed our 25th, years ago, due to being unable to get off work. I have wished I could have made it ever since then. I really would like to see as many of my old classmates as can make it this year. If I can be of help in encouraging your presence or travel to CorpusChristi/Banquete/Robstown, let me know. I know, as noted above, how work can keep you from making it. I have two seats vacant in my car driving from Colorado Springs to Corpus Christi. If you need, you are welcome to them. If I can pick you up on the way, and deliver you back home, I am williing to do that. I would enjoy seeing all of you who made it there or did not make it to the last Class of 65 event. Carl, Ronny, Richard, Augustin, Margarito, Joe Bill, and all you gals too. My memory is bad, so do not take it personally if I did not include your name above. Lord Bless the Souls of all those who have passed. Peace Be With Them and Their Loved Ones. Since several of our classmates, for years, left us early, and did not graduate with us in '65, I think it would be nice to see you all again. Roger Elliott made it to the last 5 year event. I really enjoyed seeing and visiting with him. I hope Diane Ripple Scarborough, Delores Willoughby, Julie, Helen, Virgil and many other classmates that were with us on the journey through BHS, can join us at some point during the weekend, if not Friday Night at Nolans. This is just my opinion, and some of you may not agree with me. It will likely take me about three days to get to our Hotel in CalAllen, if my wife and I drive it alone; less if we have capable additional drivers. However, this is not required, if you need to ride with us. Peace Be With Your All. Michael/ AKA: Mickey Van Winkle
