It'll be like goin' back in time. I haven't been to PA since the '80's. I still have buds in the State College area, including my first business partner who bought me out of our painting business. We were long hair hippies in the day livin' life day by day. I helped my business partner establish his very first checking account. Up until then, he kept all his cash in the glove box of his VW. When I spotted a C note hanging out of that compartment, I ran him right down to the bank and got him started.
Is that a fishin' whole I spotted in one of those pics, Jill?
Jane and I will probably head in the Centre County direction after the meet. I owe those folks a visit. They've been out to see me a few times more than I've been out to see them, so I'm due.

Geeze! I better get a move on! Al Checca called yesterday telling me that he was nearly in tears of laughter over all the photoshop pix of him.
Things are starting to fall into place (or rather I'm pushing them!) and this is looking like a fun time. Last night I had my first dream about it. By the time the Mars meet happened I was down to about two hours of sleep per night. My head gets too full of plans to sleep.
It's gonna be great to see all of you! Love....Jill

Asrequested, Deb, I dug deep into the Letterhead archives and came up with this gem: By the time Bill got to Woodstock, he realized he might be late for the jamboree! Maybe if we are lucky we'll see a few Amish folks too. The bunkhouse is now officially full! More registrations and donations are arriving daily!

Remember the commercial with the 2 guys playing golf on the grounds of where the Woodstock concert was -- 35 years later?
The one guy says to the other. Do you remember being here for the concert? And the other guy says ......................................................................................................................................................................................... ....................................................................................................................................................................... No!
I'm the guy who said -- No.
Deb, I could try to find a picture of me with long hair, but then that would force me to go into that forbidden zone of our 100 year old house called ..T H E A T T I C!!!!!!!

Aw Bill, too many ... and now it's all stretchy! Hey folks we hung this banner off the I-80 bridge this Sunday. Kinda difficult to get there. It's hard to manuuver from a canoe and sunburn is always a factor. We'll be peeling for weeks! Love....Jill
