Let the blogging begin!

Ain't technology grand? Welcome to the first post of the WWD blog...YOUR blog. It is a place to post pictures, announce exciting news, or just stay in touch with each other. You can use it for anything. Brag about the new grandchild (man, that makes me feel old just saying that), show off pictures of your new puppy, even rant about your crazy spouse (Barb, take note!...just kidding... you KNOW we all love you Herman!)

Everyone who wants to can post. All you have to do is send me an email (or respond with a comment at the end of this post) and I will add you to the list of "authors" who can post. You will get an email asking if you accept the addition and then away you go. Blogger makes it fairly easy to post and I can help you with some of the details. And the best part is it is all FREE!!! (at least for now)

Here are some pictures I took at the reunion to start things off. Left-click on the pictures to make them full screen.


Teresa and I go WAY back with shots like these. Jamie looks confounded by the whole thing...and why wouldn't she be? It's pretty weird to see someone taking a picture of someone taking a picture of someone taking a picture of...well, you get the idea.


Lynny and Peggy are still close after all these years. Too bad Lynny is terrified of flying...she would love to visit Peggy out west! Maybe she can get Paulie to drive her out there one of these years when he has a few months to kill!









What a magnificent collection of humanity! Next time someone else can be in the front row...I nearly drove Betsy and Berta into the ground like a tent peg trying to stand up.




Ok, now here's a blast from the past...(Click on the picture to enlarge it)




Can you identify everyone in this picture? It was taken at our very first reunion in 1984 at the State Park in Saratoga. A lot of chicken has been grilled since those days! But we haven't changed a bit...ok, maybe a few of us have a few more pounds and gray hairs but otherwise we're still the fun-loving, beer-swilling, belly-laughing crew we have always been.

So now it's YOUR turn. Just send me your email and I will add you to the list of authors. If you don't want to post, that's fine. But be sure to come visit the blog and comment on the postings. If you need help, I will be happy to provide a "quick and dirty" set of instructions. Come on people, let's have some fun with this!!!

P.S. If you are interested, I have my own blog here. Come visit!
