A few things....

A couple things......

First of all, I am still alive.

Secondly, I heard that our classmate, Tony Miell, is getting married on November 14th. Congratulations to Tony and his fiancee, Lori!

Also, there is a benefit for Darcie on Saturday, October 17th. I'll know more details soon.

I have connected with Brad Bieber and Jerald Tew via Facebook! Today is Jerry's birthday, by the way.

Finally... I know it's a ways off yet, but does anyone have any ideas for our 30th reunion? I'll do the work again unless someone else absolutely wants to... :-)

MESSAGE FROM BRETT

Another classmate to keep in our prayers..... Get well soon, Brett!


Was leaving united clubs meeting sunday around 5pm to head home. I was in right lane and a mini van full of asians flew over 3 lanes from my left, cut me off and I t-boned them. They say I went over front of bike and in to window side, breaking all windows and covererd their kids with glass. I dont remember anything, including leaving the meeting. I woke up in hospital around 10pm just in time to get stitches in front and back of my head. I had several visitors but dont remember any of them except my wife who came back from Houston and my little brother who came up from Austin.

Injuries: dislocated left shoulder, broken ribs on right side, cuts front and back of head, major bruise & swelling right hip, bruised knees, stiff neck. Otherwise just sore and stiff all over. I was quite lucky! No other broken bones or casts or anything!

I've had several calls and text messages and visitors at the house. I have to go back in tomorrow for follow up on head and shoulder but will be just fine. Billy (harley tech) says my bike is jacked up and might be totalled. Thats fine, I'm just glad I'm not in the hospital with more serious injuries! My brother is gonna take me over there this afternoon so I can check out the bike.

PRAYERS FOR TWO CLASSMATES

I know neither one of them would want me to do this, but I am doing it anyway.....

Stephanie Seehusen (Cross) and Darcie Cole (Luxa) need our prayers...

Steph is battling breast cancer and Darcie had a motorcycle accident. Please keep both of them in your thoughts and prayers in the coming weeks and months.

Love you both! :-)

CAN YOU GUESS?

Can you guess which classmate this beautiful child belongs to?

Dean Rickels' son, Wesley

Lisa Heitland Williams sent this photo along with her comment below...

SEND PHOTOS OF YOUR KIDS GRADUATING!!!

(I can't post any of mine because, God forbid, we would hate to

make this an "all about Carron" blog.)

GUESS WHO??

Look who invited me to be a friend on his Facebook page!!!

HE'S OLD AS WELL

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO MIKE!

I GOT A PHOTO

I did manage to get a photo of Darcie on her birthday last week. Her friend, Shannon, came along for the festivities.

She told me she was going straight home to bed that night because she was so full and tired. I later heard something about tequila..... I'm thinking she didn't go straight home....

WES IS THE BIG 18!

Dean's and my son, Wesley, turned 18 on April 10th. We warned him that if he screws up now, we don't have to bail him out!!!!!!!!

Wes leaves on July 7th for the Air Force. He was accepted into the air traffic control program. So, he will be just sitting out there watching airplanes!

I am trying to imagine Wes with no hair.... wish I could be there to see it all getting shaved off!

MY PRETTY NIECE

Here is a pic of my niece, Alex, at Anamosa's prom with her date, Kaleb.

Alex will be heading back to Denmark on June 6th! I haven't seen her as much as I would have liked, but it's been great having her here this past year!

BRETT'S OLD, TOO

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, BRETT!!!

Whatcha doing to celebrate today?
