This past Wednesday evening, I met up with an old family friend that I hadn't seen in over 25 years. :eek:
His mother went to 'Nursing School' with my mother (about 50 years ago). My family used to go visit them every few years and his family would come visit us. Kinda like on a rotating basis. One year, we'd go there, the next year, they'd come here.
Anyways, the last time I saw Jason was waaaaaaaaaaayyyyyyyyyy back in the summer of 1982 or 1983 when I was stationed at Ft. Knox KY.
He had joined the National Guard and was sent to Ft. Knox for Basic Training and AIT.
My mother had notified me that he was gonna be there, and with a little luck, we were able to hook up and get him off post a couple times while he was at Ft. Knox.
Life has not been very kind to either of us, but we've managed to make a go of it. :cheers:
Our meeting the other evening was short.........WAY too short! BUT!!! Next week is most definitely a 'different story'. :D
There's a phrase in one of Jerry Jeff Walker's songs that fits 'our night out' to the 'T'.
We'll be "kickin' hippies asses and raisin' hell"! :D
Jason don't know this, but I had a serious crush on his sister Jill. [smilie=heart fill : I guess that maybe I still do, because I remember her as she was back then. She currently lives in OKC. Guess that I'll have to 'look her up' the next time I get down that way. ;)
