Written for a Reunion Booklet It was a great pleasure seeing those of you who attended the 25th reunion, and I sure feel bad about not being able to attend this special event. I married a "Yankee" (still married to her) on one of my prolonged visits to my sister, who also married one (SHAME, I know). The last time I came across the border into Arkansas I was stopped and when questioned about the above, they wouldn't let me in. So there you are. When returning to Arkansas the first time, we sneaked into Fayetteville. Before graduation, her father had died and since she was an only child, after graduation we returned (not before we had a little Arkansan) to live near her mother near the New Jersey shore (Holmdel). I had my sights then set on working in NYC and did. After seven years worked my way up to McCalls Magazine in advertising sales. (I was on my way to Life Magazine, but they folded on me and I had to take the next largest circulation magazine). I really don't think it was my Newport High Education that got me there; I think they just liked my accent and sent me to make sales calls on Coca-Cola in Atlanta and other national advertisers along the Southeast coast every six or eight weeks. One day in the suburbs about a mile from our house, a horseback rider found two gangland slaying bodies (from Long Island) in a ditch. We then decided to move out with our two older girls and two boys. We bought a full-size Chevy van to take trips in search of "Get-away-from-it-all!" and we did. In 1974, we moved here to Haverhill, New Hampshire, (Barbara just didn't like the heat of Arkansas). We can see the Connecticut River from our kitchen and are only ninety miles from Canada and until a few years ago, thirty miles from the nearest stop light. The first winter the temperature got down to minus thirty-eight degrees (it usually only gets to just minus twenty or so). Very quickly we stopped using a metal bowl to feed the dog when "Blackie's" tongue froze to it (we just threw some warm water on the bowl and he came loose). After founding and publishing three area Chamber of Commerce type magazines, (OUTLOOK For Northern New Hampshire, INSIGHT for Hanover/Claremont area, and VIEWS for the Central Vermont Chamber of Commerce) I got into Macintosh computers. Along with typesetting and design work. I do Macintosh computer repairs, installations, and training for private customers, printing companies and schools. In 1996 I installed my Internet service (my Mac Guru told me almost two years before I should get online and he was right). Reach me at Mayday@ConnRiver.net. (Now Mac-Help@charter.net Not much else to say except I sure would like to see you all and exchange a few more stories about things that have happened. The one thing I would like to share with you is that all of you should have the peace, joy and comfort that comes from learning more each day about The Real One Who Is In Control (we all like to think we are, but we're not ! ! ! ). Thanks, Homer | ||
