Manuel, if I knew that, I would have stocked up months ago and been selling TP out of the trunk of my car in the Costco parking lot. Call it mass hysteria for toilet paper. Someone must have started a rumor. Fortunately, it doesn't spoil or go out of style so those who did stock up are set through 2030.

Manny - there's always Kleenex.  Go out and start hoarding that.   Marcia (Kelso) Wilkinson

Back in the mid-70s, when I took some kids backpacking, at Young Life's Wilderness Ranch, out in Colorado, in the mountains, the rule was that whatever we carried out on the trail had to come back in with us. So there was no toilet paper allowed. Instead we used snow. It was very effective, as long as you waited until later in the day when it wasn't so icey. But none of that information would help Manuel, down there in Florida.

Oh, by the way, we are cancelling this month's Fundango, at the Springmeadows Ralphies. We'll let you know when we can start things up again.

I jubeaches were full of sprink breakers who apparently don't watch the news .  Both my flights were aboutonly 20 passengers only , Armands circle was a ghost town . Oh and BTW overseas I was taught to just use your hand , left hand of course and eat with your right don't worry it all washes off

Is that Rick Boyd, class of 68, on the front page of The Blade, covered in mask and gloves?

Walter "Chip" Carstensen

I just posted an announcement on the Home page suggested by classmate Gary Panczner.  Please take the time to check it out.  It is a volunteer effort for sewing enthusiasts to sew masks for people to use especially those medical personnel on the front lines.  Good idea!

Patrick Gilbert

Great idea Chip. I'm going to copy that and post it up on my Facebook page! Thanks!

Rick Boyd

That's me in the flesh

Jeff Willets has posted an update on his recent surgery. It is up on our homepage! Glad all went well Jeff!

Joseph Goodell

Speedy recovery Rick and especially Jeff Willets who I knew so well as young adults , GET WELL both of you

Jeff Willets

Thanks Joe, yes we go way back

Manuel Chambers

Jeff I'm glad to here your surgery went well. I have heard great things about the Cleveland Clinic and knew you were in great hands. I hope you and Rick a safe and successful recovery. I hope both of you are listening to your doctors. ✌️❤️🍩

Marcia Kelso (Wilkinson)

Jeff - so glad to hear that you are doing well with the surgeries you did have done.  The Clinic is a great place, so you're in good hands (I speak from experience).  It sounds like you have the right attitude - keep it up, as that's great for recovery.  Rick, a speedy recovery for you also.  I wish I could sew (with all this free time), but that's not something my mom taught me.  But I'm glad some of you are doing this great service.  Let's all stay healthy, and stay inside and out of harm's way.  Blessings to all.    Marcia

Rick Boyd

Jeff   Sounds like you're surgery went well. Keep pushing through. It's been along time since you hit me in the head with that play gun. Why did I have to go to jail anyway at the age of 6?  Take care

Jeff Willets

Rick, Roger, Manuel, Marcia,,,,,,,,,,,thanks for all of the words of encouragement, attitdue is most important, and I intend to beat this, just like the other 2 times.

Patrick Gilbert

Go get em Jeff! Praying for your recovery...

Walter "Chip" Carstensen

Glad surgery went well Jeff.  Wish you the best in recovery. Hopefully in a month or so we can hit the links again with Arnie and other friends.

Jeff Willets

tt was a miracle, otherwise I'd still be innthe Hospital, waiting on the skin graft to take hold.  Might need more than a month, range of motion on my right side is pretty poor, but as as possible, go to get the boys out there for a day of golf, bullshit, and lies.

Frank Fischer

  Hi everybody,

I don't get on this site that often .  Are the notes from Chip, there seems to be no identification I hope people are healing well. I had a mild stroke in April  it has changed my lifestyle big time  but I'm still grateful, it was a minor! 
Stay healthy and safe in isolation 

Blessings and peace to all   Frank 

Nancy Wolff (Szymanski)

Hi Frank - our Melbourne, FL classmate is Rick Burr & he's healing well.  The man who experienced prayers answered is Jeff Willets & he is also on the mend.  Thank God that you are doing well - just made you slow down a bit more??   I hope all of the great class of '68 comes through this pandemic.  Prayers & blessings for everyone - please take care & stay home - even though we all hate that. 

Jeff Willets

Frank, glad this was just a MINOR stroke, nother minor about anything with the heart.  Thank God you are well, stay safe and well,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,everyone.

Aloha from quarantine in Hawaii! I hope this finds you all well. I have a proposal for the group... Since we can't have "in the flesh" Fundango's is there any interest in holding a Zoom Fundango? I have been attending meetings for my film work and other groups via Zoom and it's almost like being there. We would need a moderator maybe Dale and a co host I'm thinkin Ed. (Or I would be happy to do it) And we could all have like 3-5 minutes each to greet classmates and tell each other how life is going during this trying time. There is a $15. Charge per month so we could do multiple Fundango's if the interest is there. I'll just leave it out there but what a great way for classmates who no longer live in the Toledo area to connect with old friends. If this does work out maybe we can include a Zoom session at future Fundangos held in Toledo. Please reply with your thoughts on this.. Stay home and stay safe dear friends! Wishing you all Peace, Love and Aloha
