All of you are and were great friends. Our collective years of the class of 61' were a most special time growing up in the late 1950's. Thanks to Dan Clark and all of you that have continued to carry on the remembrance throughout the follow many (UGH!) years that were to follow. For those of us that escaped Good Ol' Uncle Sam, we have been able to follow our classmates within this august website. Cindy and I are looking forward to a visit here in Costa Rica from Jack Poe and Pete Wood sometime in the next few months. 

Thanks to you all and Pura Vida (Pure Life, the motto of this beautiful country),

A couple of years ago, Ed intrusted to me his documents about that old car he inherited from Ed's father. Yes, it was actually one of Buckminister Fuller's Dymaxian automobiles. Architectural students all study about Fuller, which was the inventor of the Fuller Geodesic Dome and one of the greatest engineers of the twentieth century. How amazed we were when we found out that for all these years there was actually one of Bucky's original cars in Eddie's chicken pen. Jesse Brimhall wrote an excellent article about the car which I will forward via email. 

I remember Eddie carrying around that chrome plated coil from another car. Like of all our classmates, he was a treasured friend. The class of '61 was and is a most special group and it is with heartfelt thanks to all you oldies, but goodies that carry on the tradition of " We have fun, we get things done, we are the class of '61!"

C.W. Nobody forgot you, except those with Alzheimer's and they are exempt. Glad to see you back and look forward to seeing you sometime when Cindy and I venture North again.

How about a coffee morning at the usual venue on either Thursday the 20th or Friday the 21st of April, 2017?

Hi Ray, looking forward to seeing you on the 25th of September.

Best wishes for a happy birthday and years and years to come.
