Traveling from Florida on Friday morning, we should be in Houlton around
5PM. I am really looking forward to seeing people I haven't seen in 30
years.I still can not comprehend that it has been that long or I am that
old. Kimbo, I can't thank you enough for all your hard work in putting this
event together. Alanna

Wow, I'm almost on schedule. Kim - Spent all morning printing name tags
- better use them! ;). Pete, I'm running late, must stop at car washm &
liquor store! As usual I have packed way too much. It'd be simpler if I
just moved there. Dave found directions to your office on Thatcher street?
Maybe we'll stop enroute - Thursday. There better be a couple cold ones
in the fridge. Outta here. Pete, if I'm not there by the time you leave
for the game, just leave directions on front door and I'll meet you there
- outahere!!!! Fliegs. OH YEAHHHHHHH!!!!

or Murray Putnam?Murray was quite the singer of "different" tunes. Just email

Yo K-Bo, You're killin' me! You sent the database last night after 1:00
a.m. I'll take it that you were up until then working on it. Well, I'm
in work today and have no way to do anything with it here. I'm packing and
leaving tomorrow, so I'll do what I can - no guarrantees. Worst comes to
worse, I'll bring markers and we'll have to hand write the name tags. Hope
you had a safe ride up to Houlton. We'll be there, no later than two on
Thursday. Later - Fliegs

Cant't make it this year because of a MFO, but sounds like things are
taking shape. THanks to the planning people. Oh, yeah, please keep an

out of shape. i'll be interested to hear the stories when all is over with.

I'll second that! I had a call from a friend who said he was very busy
at work and although he asked for the time off in January and got it he thought
he might spend the weekend catching up!! There is always work to do and it
will be there when you get back on Monday! My poor children have been living
in a dirty house for a month and my boss can't believe it's taken this long
to draft a demand BUT I have organized this reunion and although I will miss
a big baseball tournament for my oldest son - I owe it to myself to have
some fun (besides I have to go, I have the checkbook!)!! I have all the Ricker
Reunion stuff printed and packed. I'll pack my clothes and car tomorrow
and off to the "end of the Earth"! Yie-ha! See ya in Houlton..............

Around the corner I have a friend, In this great city that has no end,
Yet the days go by and weeks rush on, And before I know it, a year is gone.
And I never see my old friends face, For life is a swift and terrible race,
He knows I like him just as well, As in the days when I rang his bell. And
he rang mine but we were younger then, And now we are busy, tired men. Tired
of playing a foolish game, Tired of trying to make a name. "Tomorrow" I say!
"I will call on Jim Just to show that I'm thinking of him." But tomorrow
comes and tomorrow goes, And distance between us grows and grows. Around
the corner, yet miles away, "Here's a telegram sir," "Jim died today." And
that's what we get and deserve in the end. Around the corner, a vanished
friend. Remember to always say what you mean. Because when you decide that
it is the right time it might be too late. Seize the day. Never have regrets.
And most importantly, stay close to your friends and family, for they have
helped make you the person that you are today. > > >

Kim and all the other planners Thanks for all your work Your attention
to details will make this a weekend for the ages. What a time warp it is
going to be. I was there only a year so it has been over 25years since I
left Houlton. Should be interesting to say the least. Everyone have a safe
drive Kip

Greetings; I view the Ricker site two-three times a week and enjoy everyone’s
comments. I wanted to add to Gene’s comments regarding Kim Bristol. Kim was
also my roommate and fraternity brother in Sigma Delta Phi. We also went
to high school together as I did with Earl Stout, one of the other five who
was killed in that accident. I remember Kim and myself riding our Honda 160
cc motorcycles from New York to Ricker in September of 66 or 67, we had it
all over the Hell’s Angels…I remember how that tragic accident impacted the
facility and student body. Upon our return a candlelight service was held
and our class president Bill Thurlow, spoke words which helped all of us
begin the healing process. About a year ago I did have a visit with Kim’s
parents. They are healthy. Mr. Bristol is ninety and just had a knee replacement
in order to continue playing tennis! I will also be thinking of Kim, Earl,
Skip, Pudgy, Barry and the others we have lost over the years. Even more
of a reason to celebrate this coming weekend and remember friends,classmates
and fraternity brothers. See ya this Friday at the TECH.

Well after 3 weeks in the good old U S A I have returned to Hungary.
Sorry that I will not be attending the Social Event of the Century there
in Houlton. Such memories, friends,challenges,growth ,mistakes and victories
were gained in that "unique" locale. Best to all have an awesome reunion...
and hey, if your ever in Budapest... Cerk

Budapest, Hungary - Saturday, July 12, 2003 at 23:48:57 (PDT)
This is my final plea.................I have about 300 for Friday nights
party and less then 200 PAID for the big event on Saturday's dinner dance.
That is over 100 people that either can't make it on Saturday or BELIEVE
they will make up their minds on Saturday whether or not they will go. THAT
CAN NOT BE THE CASE! I promised the caterer 300 people and now have cut
it down to 200... She's NOT going to do me any favors and whip up an extra
100 meals at the last minute! You are going to go Friday night and have so
damn much fun and Saturday after the cookout you will have to grab a movie
and wait till we all get back to the hotel to hear what a great time it was.
If you don't reserve your place - - - you don't go! I don't know how else
to say it. Allot of planning has gone into this, you can't decide at the
last minute to show up. If you were under the impression you could pay at
the door I am sorry. If you would like to attend Saturday's dinner dance
please either e-mail me at the e-mail address listed or call me before Monday
noon at 508-883-9425 and we can work something out! Thanks..

I started my diet today! ha I had delusions of a twenty pound loss, tummy
tuck and face lift.........Oh well! I leave here in three days! Aahhhhhhhhhhhhh!
I can't believe it's here. We are going to have large fun! My 12 year
old son wants to come with me [I think he's afraid I won't come back]. He
helped me mail 1,500 flyers 2X - I guess he's earned an honorary Rickerite
standing. Not sure he needs to witness "Ma" when she transforms into a party
animal?? ha I would like to thank Donna Baietti for being our "Houlton connection"!
She's been great as has Sean Dolomont! If you can you believe that Sean
is running a top notch Golf Tourney on Saturday that Tiger Woods would be
honored to play in! If you are not registered for golf and play at all I'd
get in on this one! He has great prizes and gag gifts for winners, losers
and anyone in between! I think my little Seanie has finally grown up...
Totally psyched and can't wait to see you ALL (feel like I know you all already).
Remember to register early at the Shiretown Poolside lounge! BOLTIN TO HOULTON

To all of you traveling to Houlton for the reunion,,please be careful
if you are traveling at night, especially north of Medway. The moose are
plentiful and traveling at night, and it is impossible to see them. There
have been many accidents in the past few weeks with 5 people being killed.
keep your high beams on and slow down. Really looking forward to renewing
old friendships.

Fliegs, you will be glad to hear that the state of Maine is getting out
of the booze bizness and most grocery stores, including Hannaford/Shop &
Save are putting in aisles of all your favorites - I am not sure if Houlton
has done this yet, but I would guess that Andy Marino surely has got that
covered at Andy's IGA. And they are both open on Sundays and it happened
a few years ago, but the County now sells beer, wine and I believe, hard
liquor on Sundays. Have a ball you guys... sorry I can't be there, duty

Unfortunately, Bruce and I will not be able to attend the reunion in July.
When we registered, we did not know we would be obligated elsewhere. Our
apologies to all and wishes for all to have a fantastic reunion, safe trip
to and fro, and blessings! Sincere regrets, Fran (Beato) and Bruce Carlson
Please give a special hello to those who attended college between 1960 and
1964!

Ricker Once Ricker Twice Holy Jumping....I see the adrenaline is starting
to swirl around with the thoughts of heading back to Houlton for everyone.
What's this no Beach Ball??? Fliegs if you haven't been out to Montana or
Wyoming you better get your beer mug polished up. I can not believe all
of the small breweries I came across last month when I was out there. I
thought of you and your quest to have a beer in each and everyone on your
travels around the country. A true Rickerite if I ever met one. I am heading
out around 4:00 AM on Thursday and will probably meet up with you in the
Lobby of the Shiretown as usual. Ang do you have your drun sticks packed
and ready to go? To all that stopped in Westport awhile back I am looking
forward to catching up with all of you again.Are you grilling guys ready
or what? Oh, Fliegs I am bringing you some of the Buzzards Bay Ale and Lager
that you enjoyed so much at their PUB!!!! So to the rest of the gang, looking
forward to seeing you all again. It has been quite a ride the last three
years probably for all of us so kicking back and relaxing is just what we
need. Marcia and Bob Lehmann I'll see you there. I lost you home email
addresses and Jeff Warner the same happen for you. My computer at work crashed
and all was lost. I am definitely ready to ROCK and Roll. Congratulations
to Kimbo and all of the Reunion committee for organizing this so we can celebrate
in style. Kimbo, I'll be ready to roll up my sleeves when I get there on
Thursday. Any chance we have access to a Kitchen? I am off to follow the
Yellow Brick Road to Houlton and the good times. Later, Debbe

Spoke to Kimbo about an hour ago. We do believe that everything is signed,
sealed and delivered. I will be at her office tomorrow morning to give her
some final papers but aside from that I think we're golden!! Now that time
is closing in Kim is getting real nervous. So Kimbo, when you read this,
remember that you did a great job and I could never thank you enough for
all that you have accomplished. Jan and I will be leaving on Thursday so
if anyone passes a champagne colored Bravada SUV with license APRIN....give
us a honk and a Ricker salute and we'll see you in Houlton!!! Everyone drive
slow and safely and we'll see you when we see you..........

E. Stroudburg, PA USA - Thursday, July 10, 2003 at 11:40:18 (PDT)
By this time next week, we should be at the Shiretown...OH YEAH! I wonder
who'll be the first "Rickerite" we see (any bets?). Last time when I checked
in, it was Debbe Henecke. Of course I didn't know it was her, cause we had
never met. But all the same, for some reason, I just had this feeling it
was her. That's the weird kind of stuff (read magic) that happens in Houlton.
It's a great kind of weirdness - being in Houlton that is; I wish I could
stay longer, but the "real world" beckons and kicking and screaming, we must
all return... well maybe not you Sean... HaHa! I wonder how many of us went
to college cause we didn't want to join the "real world" yet. Funny, now
we go back to escape it! Next comes the serious strategy questions: What
days are the state liquor stores open in Maine? Has the one in Houlton been
restored (I recall there was some problem last time)? No beer on Sundays
still (maybe in the next millenium)? Finally, What's the maxium safe driving
speed for I95. I know you Massachusetts people will say 85-90, but in NJ
that'll get pulled over and I don't want to start my weekend like that.
Anybody driving up on Thursday AM, look for a dark green Integra with a Purple
and Yellow Ricker pillow in the real window. That's me and Ang! Honk if
you're going to Ricker! - Later Fliegs

on Wednesday and cruisin’ up to Connecticut to pick up Pete Ang. Of course
we’ll have to party some (cause it’s been about two years - some of you might
recall the “Das Boot!” adventure at Horseneck Beach). Then at the crack
of dawn we’ll be “Boltin’ for Houlton!” We ought to be pulling into the
Shiretown around noon on Thursday. I’m smilin’ as I think of it. I desperately
NEED this getaway and can’t wait to see everyone. Dis goin’ be Gooooodtime

I received 5 more registrations today........You people are driving me
nuts!! Nuts is good! Keep them coming. I have about 2 dozen requests for
the list of attendees but other then cut and paste 200 some odd names I don't
know how to do it?? So I guess you'll have to come and find out! Besides,
I don't have the time to e-mail everyone and don't know if folks would have
objections to having their names on this forum board?? I have had many people
in the area that have registered for Friday night's party. If you don't
live to far that is a great idea! Pay $5.00 and get a night out!

The music man is pumped,the bars are stocked and my bag is packed! Baby
I'm ready to roll... I am receiving registrations daily (nobody ever said
Ricker alumni were prompt) I spoke with the caterer and explained my dilema.
She has agreed to extend the deadline until July 11th. If you have had
a change of heart (or plans) you can still get in on the fun! Mike Rush
saved our butts by getting "event insurance" at a great price in record time!
Anyone that knows him, tell him thanks! Please e-mail myself or Tim Humphrey
with any song requests. I would also like some input for our trivia contest??
Dave Berry (a/k/a Gomeo) has designed a beautiful t-shirt for our reunion
and they will be on sale there. I am totally psyched and will be up there
on Wednesday the 16th. Flieg's where are you kid? Tim says the band sounds
great and are ready to rock. There is a cocktail area for all of you that
prefer to chat rather then dance. I bought tiara's for a Queen of the reunion
(and I am sad to say I never did get a registration from Ms. Jacobs!). I
made sceptors (purple and gold!) for the reigning King(s)..... We are going
to have such a blast I feel sorry for those of you that are not going to
attend. I did hear from Joyce and she's going to work on Chuck? Houlton
may be at the end of the Earth but it is truly "God's country" and worth
every mile of the drive. Don't miss this P-A-R-T-Y!! Have been e-mailing
Ellen Cotton. She has revived many memories for me about town and the residents.
She and her dad will attend as well as many of our Professors. I can not
find Sally Rooney though? Anyone know where she is? John Elliot - is she
still in town? SEE YOU SOON!

Chuck...am waiting for you to show up at my post office window. Tonight
my daughter and I saw a bunch of "classic" cars parked at a motel nearby.
There was a little Nash Metropolitan, just like Linda Cunliffe's (only it
was white). As we passed by the lineup of cars I pointed it out to my daughter,
saying, "That's just like a car we used to ride around when I was in college!"
She thought it was very amusing, and we both laughed. She will be leaving
for Cambridge in September as she will be attending Lesley College. Curtis

Who remembers these names from 1960-1962 at Ricker? Joe Ponte, Dennis Simkins, Bob Hurley (NJ), Reggie Rodriguez, (NY), Jim Weston (NJ) turned
actor, Bob Korwatch, Frank Scalesse both of MA. Howie Weiss NY? Those were
the days for sure. Pizza Palace, Al’s restaurant, sporting goods store on
the corner, Snowball King and Queen, Lloyd Farnham, Jim Oser, both of ME.
Mr Howard, Mr Rich, Dr Prohaska, Mr Ramsey (psychology). Who was that lady
that taught Biology? Mrs. Howard? Thirty below zero each night for a month
in 1960/61. The rec. center parking lot being blown out (snow) with a giant
blower? The Sonics (music) with me as sole guitar player, remember the guy
with the green Danelectro guitar, (me). We even got invited to Univ of MA
folk festival. Left a trail of beer cans distributed from an early 50’s Ford
enroute and back. Sometimes I can almost taste those days and would like
to relive them. I have many happy memories and read with sad thoughts of
the appearance of Ricker in bankruptcy court in Boston about 1980. It shared
a fate of many an institution due to high interest rates and a recession
that was the undoing of Jimmy Carter. I’ve often wondered about how many
of my former classmates who went on the serve in Viet Nam, how many went
on raise families and where they might be today. Life was more exciting then
due to my youth and also life was way more less complicated. so, come on
you children of the 50’s and 60’s where are you? Who still has their yearbook
from 61 or 62? David Kingsley 60’-62’

headcounts for the caterer and Matthew Ottinger who is running the cookout.

going to miss out! This weekend is going to be fabulous! We have tons of
events, the best food, the best music and tons of alcohol! ha I am not ever
going to run another one and know known else that cares to either, so this
may be it folks! Stop waiting for the perfect time to attend! Life is not
perfect.........and the time is NOW! Don't worry about the money, or the

Hi Guys, It getting close to July 19th. I hope you are still ready to
rock. The band I've got together for this reunion is called "Ricker Once,
Ricker Twice...." Those of you in the 60's know the rest of the cheer. We
do pretty much what you heard at the 2000 reunion. With the addition of my
son,Travis, to the line up, I think you'll be pleased. If you guys have any
requests out there, let me know we will try to get it together by reunion
time. Kim, I must apologize. I changed my email address and forget to tell
you. I'm bent over, give me a swift kick!!! Just wanted to touch bases with
everyone and let you know that I'll be looking forward to entertaining my
old and new friends from Ricker.

I JUST RECIEVED THIS FROM SARA OTIS.....I THINK WE CAN APPLY IT TO OLD COLLEGE BUDDIES TOO!?
Around the corner I have a friend,
In this great city that has no end,
Yet the days go by and weeks rush on,
And before I know it, a year is gone.
And I never see my old friends face,
For life is a swift and terrible race,
He knows I like him just as well,
As in the days when I rang his bell.
And he rang mine but we were younger then,
And now we are busy, tired men.
Tired of playing a foolish game,
Tired of trying to make a name.
"Tomorrow" I say! "I will call on Jim
Just to show that I'm thinking of him."
But tomorrow comes and tomorrow goes,
And distance between us grows and grows.
Around the corner, yet miles away,
"Here's a telegram sir," "Jim died today."
And that's what we get and deserve in the end.
Around the corner, a vanished friend.
Remember to always say what you mean.
If you love someone, tell them.
Don't be afraid to express yourself. Reach
out and tell someone what they mean
to you. Because when you decide that it is
the right time it might be too late.
Seize the day. Never have regrets. And most
importantly, stay close to your
friends and family, for they have helped make
you the person that you are today.

6 weeks!! Are you ready for this? I hope so........ I just need to send
out my final plea. I had nearly 400 people tell me that they would be at
the reunion come hell or high water BUT to dat I only have 200 registrations
and even fewer checks. Two hundred is a good size reunion and I believe
is a larger crowd then attended the 2000 reunion buT i KNOW THERE ARE AT
LEAST ANOTHER 100 THAT ARE SITTING AND WAITING TILL THE LAST MINUTE! I have
to give a head count by June 25th, if I do not have your money by then (unless
you have made arrangements with me) then forgetaboutit!! I have Dr. William
Abbott, President of Ricker College in the 70's, registered! WOW! I have
been on the phone all morning lighting fires... I talked with Steve (Mack)
McNamara, Tony Santo, Tom Sousa even Joe Mann is making the journey! I have
the majority of registrations from folks from 1965 - 1970 so I think someone
in that time frame is stirring the pot! I have had complaints that if I
want to have a successful reunion I should include the RCI graduates? It
is labeled "Ricker Reunion 2003" and is for everyone!! Anyone that graduated,
anyone that attended, anyone that worked there in ANY capacity, anyone that
knew someone that may have driven by the school!! Come one, come all! Some
of my favorite people never took a class there but spent tons of time in
the Student Union. Another note of interest comes from the Houlton Chamber
of Commerce. They tell me that the old Ricker Library is now a private residence
and is up for sale! Anyone want to buy the library? That would be wild!
We should take up a collection and buy it. We can buy each building back,
one by one!! That would be an awesome reunion!! SEND ME YOUR CHECKS!!
Let's go!

The biggest single loss to the student body of Ricker was on Thanksgiving,
1967 when five students were killed on the Maine Turnpike in Gray on their
way home. It was snowing at the time. Trying to remember the names I think...Kim
Bristol, Robin Williams, Earl Stout, Natalie Leach, and I can't remember
the last one. Even after all these years I still think about them every
Thanksgiving. Such a waste of young potential.

Upon reading about another passing, I was reminded of a shock we all had
in Spanish class, 1967-68. One of the girls in our class was coming back
from one of the breaks and was killed when the car she was in hit a deer
on the highway. The Spanish teacher used to call us all by our last name
first. I was "Mansfield, Charles". Who was that guy and does anyone remember
the girl's name who was killed? We were all really saddened by her sudden
death. I can almost picture her; perhaps her name was Donna. She was well
liked and quite vivacious. Any memories of this, folks?

Greetings to all. I have been checking in to see what is going on and
who is keeping the board going. I am looking forward to seeing everyone
again in July. I am heading out for Jackson Hole, WY on Sunday to complete
a course I have been taking for the last 14 months. Taking a side trip to
seek out Yogi Bear and pals and then on to the Grand Tetons and floating
down a river somewhere in a raft along the way. I am not ready for White
Water rafting yet. I know Rob, Tom, Pete, Kim, Bev, Linda, Bill and the rest
of the gang would be right up there in the first raft. That might be a great
idea for our next in between Reunion gathering. Oh well, I have two more
assignments to complete before I fly out of Providence at 6:30 AM on Sunday.
Haven't heard any recent update on how the plans are coming along. I know
the Party Queen has it under control. Kim when I get back the 10th I shall
contact you and volunteer in any way you need me. Come on folks, how is
everyone doing rounding up all the old geezers for the Reunion??? Beach
Ball where are you? Spring is doing its best to visit us in the Southeastern
MA but so far it is only a tease here and there. Please someone sends us
the SUN and less rain. Get your dancing shoes dusted off and lets Rock and

1970 year book reads "ricker college of the northeast". Everytime I
read where a Ricker graduate is employed in the mental health field my only
reaction is "Duh??" Jerry the Cat, Quazzi, Mounty, SB, Gabba and that's only
one wing of Haskell. What ever happened to Mongo La Funk did he ever make
it as a barber? The guy was an artist with a comb and a hair dryer he could
make you shine on a rainy day..Truly talented.

Yo Rob, Your memory is pretty good! Yes my roommate was Nancy Kinkade.
While you might have woken up in Haskell, I could've sworn you were staying
in East with friends of yours. These friends had not gone to Ricker, but
had come up to visit you while you had attended. No matter. What another
blast from the past! Steve Mason. You know Steve and Nancy suprised me.
I couldn't get over Mason being just down the road from us in Glassboro.
I didn't get to go to Glassboro, I got a job and went to work, My records
were never completed and the last i heard they were in boxes at Unity College.
I spoke to an official there and he said I could come up and go thru the
boxes. I worked in a number of jobs, then finally got my broadcasting lic.
I worked for a small TV station out of Phila. WTGI 61. We were an international
channel. Programs from Greece, India, Asia, Korea, Italy,(crazy for soccer
itailians), and we were a Telemundo affiliate. also aired Religious programs.
It seemed like everywhere I went after Ricker the place was in Chap. 7 or
11 of Bancruptcy. I was jinxed. But I was able to go back to school and
am now a Cert. Paralegal/legal assistant. I worked in the court system for
a while but it wasn't what I wanted. So now I work in the Mental Health field.
I've been at this for 10 yrs. The money sucks, but I enjoy the people I
take care of. I am attempting to open a small business on the side, and
hope to have it up and running by Aug. I really sorry about how i spelled
your name both times. I had surgery in Jan. and I've been confused ever
since. I'm looking forward to seeing you at the reunion. I tried to get
Nancy interested but I don't think she cared to go.

Dear Ms Warren, Perhaps we can dispense with the “formal” attire (since
you’re 0 for 2) ; ) and slip into something more comfortable… like “Yo Kath,
what’s happenin? I prefer ‘Rob’ ”. I remember trucking up to Ricker for
that last Snowball weekend (the trip alone was one for the books – which
would be a story for another time kiddies). Once we (my buddy George also
made the trip) arrived the partying started and never really let up. Hence,
you will have to forgive my lack of memory. However, I believe we crashed
in Haskell. At least that’s where I woke up most mornings (all right afternoons),
so I hope you’re not confusing me with someone else. I’ll take responsibility
for my own “bad”, but not someone else’s. Did you or your roommate end up
at Glassboro State with Steve Mason when the school closed? Whoa, I just
had a flash (yeah it scares me too) - was Nancy’s last name “Kinkaid” or
something like that? In any case, I hope you make it to Montana some day
– as for me, I’m thinking Virginia. – Later Fliegs

Dear Mr. Fliegal, Yes we did meet. You came up for the last Snowball
(or Homecoming) I believe. You guys camped out across the hall in one of
the spare rooms in East Hall. I was one of the girls in the "Reid Hall Suite".
I have been trying to move to Montana for the last 10yrs. I'm a tree lover
you know. For the record, one of my relatives was killed at the battle of
the Little Big-Horn. But even that doesn't frighten me. You may remember
one of my roommates, Nancy? She was kinda dating Dean Ricciardi and she
was known for her well endowelled breast. Please forgive any spelling errors,
at the end of the day I'm almost brain dead. Please don't take anything
I say to heart. Take care, Kathy

Dear Ms Warren, (Do I know you?) FYI it’s spelled – Fliegel. Where in
the context of my last post did I imply, “A River Runs Through It” was filmed
in Montana? I had no idea where it was filmed; I was just mentioning the
fishing, that’s all. Since I guess you don’t know me, I’ll give you the
benefit of the doubt – I’m kidding with an old friend about the Montana climate.
I have never been there, I’m sure it’s beautiful. It probably doesn’t attract
too many New Jerseyians, which would make it appealing. ; ) I can only think
of one other person who was ambushed worse than I, when dealing with Montana
– Custer. I’ll just go lick to my wounds now – Later Fliegs :o

Sorry about the twitches Fliegs. Part of a River Runs Through It was filmed
in MT on the Bitterroot River, only a short clip, most was in Idaho. The
weather in the area of MT where we are moving to has winters similar to Mid
to Southern PA. Only about two feet of snow a year. If you come out in
July I promise not to wear the 44 mag, Okay? The winters are way milder
than Maine. Could you believe it I have been clean and Sober for 24 years+.
Not one drop. Call me sometime or send me your number and I will call you.

Mr. Fliegal, just an FYI, "A river Runs Through It" was actually filmed
in Idaho. Montana has three regions, the central part of the state being
quite pleasant most of the year. In the higher elevations snow stays on
the mt. tops pretty much all year round. It feels pretty good in the summer
when the temp reaches the 90s to go the mt. and cool off. I was always encouraged
by Mr. A" to share my knowledge with the rest of my fellow Rickerites.

Yo Steve, Fogetaboutit! Other than this constant involuntary twitch I've
developed, I was hardly even affected, Ha Ha! So what's up with this Montana
move? Did the Maine Wildlife Commission finally catch up with you and tell
you you couldn't hunt moose with a .44 Magnum? What do figure? Grizzlies
in the Big Sky country? "So tell me Grizz... do ya feel lucky? Go ahead
bar, make my day!" From the looks of your email addy, you've calmed down
to some nice peaceful fly-fishing. I supposed you're one of those Brad Pitt
types from "A River Runs Through It" to float down stream while fighting
with the big ones! (By the way, if you haven't seen that movie, it's got
some awesome fishing footage - I highly recommend it!) Sounds like you're
easing into the good life. That's excellent! I have to check a map to see
what part of Montana that is, but my impression is more winter than Maine
(if that is even possible)! I heard it doesn't snow... it glaciers! No,
I don't think that's for me, but wouldn't mind visiting in late July - you
know the week when everything has finally thawed out and just before the
first snow of August?!?! Just kidding (not really). - later Fliegs

It would be great to go back to visit and be part of the Ricker re-union
in July, but I'll be in Peoria Illinois playing my banjo (doing an act) for
the Fretted Instrument Guild Annual convention for 4 days. Nobody remembers
me! My claim to fame was: my obituary was published in the Houlton Pioneer
Times in March or April 1959. That I returned to school in the Fall driving
a 1947 Cadillac hearse.. Just because I owed the school $300 and they were
dunning me... After that I blended into the woodwork, well maybe not.. Who's
left from the 1961 and 1962 graduating classes.. The real characters are
all dead.. Chet Lang (guitar player magnificent), Dennis Harshaw (banjo),
Doug Robertson (somewhere in Space), Jimmy Hathaway (somewhere in the Woods)
, Dicky Ayotte (died in an airplane crash), Howie Stevens (dead in Fort Kent),
Jon Fenlason (joined the circus and was never seen again), Jerry Ellis (
?) Don Hemphill (?) Clancey Poole (Witness Protection program), The girls
all went someplace.. We started the "WORD', an off campus newsletter that
really was a gossip sheet that competed with the school so-called newspaper.
Oh, there was so much trouble we got into: The Northland Hotel, Bob Smiths
music & beverage stints. Gassy Garceleon is still working the streets
and Highways. Chet's cousins ; the Simpsons (Earl, Gerral & Sterrel)
and the Hall boys. There were so-many characters. Making beer in garbage
cans at Ma Wrights Lodge.. There was so much fun then.. Based on the contributors
that make up your guestbook, there's no-one who would remember me ... I
went to the re-union in 95 with Dennis Harshaw and that was boring as we
didn't see too many of the ghosts of 61 and 62.. Charley Heath remembered
me then. But fewof the locals showed up for that gig . It was nice to
see the folks who did show up. Well that's it for now ... Bill Moynihan

Hi Everyone! Two nights ago I got to talk to Shelly Goodman. We haven't
talked in 22 yrs, but it seemed like last week. We had so much catching
up to do that we wound up talking for 5 hours. And we still hadn't caught
up on everything. I hope I was able to convince her to make it to the reunion,
I can't wait. The laughs we had were just what the doctor order. As I
read the guestbook, so many memories come back. And I was only there for
8 months! But it truely felt like a life time. I truely feel that I learned
so much from All the experiences I had at Ricker. the good and the bad.
I would ove to hear from anyone else from the last Freshman class.

Steve Battaglia: Just wanted to wish you well on the big Montana move.
How can I forget the fact you were my frat “big brother” (I’m asking, “How?”,
cause I still have nightmares!!!!) ; ) Yes you were the one that bestowed
the pledge name “Fairy” on me and made me do the “Fairy Dance” adorned in
my “Fairy Garb”. What were you thinking, that I was going to be your “Bitch”?
HaHa, I still wonder why I went along with all that…Oh yeah… I was a freshman,
that’s reason enough. I guess we all got a good chuckle. I remember walking
into Art Smith’s English class in that ridiculous getup and sitting there
taking notes as if nothing was out-of-the-ordinary. Right in the middle
of his lecture, he starts cracking up and asks me to remove my “Fairy Hat”
so he could continue with his class. I asked my son if he planned to join
a frat and he said “No”. I said, “Good!” Besides the diversion from school
work, and the countless times we tempted arrest, the only real value is that
I learned the Greek alphabet which comes in handy for crossword puzzles…
that’s about it. All in all, I pretty much deserved it, since I was wasted
on rush night and shot my big mouth off requesting you as my big brother
(all the other guys were scared to death of you … perhaps it was the .44
magnum that you liked to bandy about). That went right into the, “Be Careful
What You Wish For “ folder. You turned out to be all right though and at
least I had some good stories for my buddies back home. – Take care and good
luck - Fliegs

The strangest experience for me was an appointment for a ear examination
a year or so after I graduated. It turns out that the Doctor was also a Ricker
graduate. I wish I had a picture of the look on his face. After the initial
shock wore off, he started asking me questions about various people, including
Eleanor Howard. Since then, it seems its many others who have reached some
degree of success or prominence in various fields have admitted they went
to Ricker. Ed

Hey, what about High Street Grocery?! And does anyone remember Belyea's
Market? Tom Boulier brought me in there (to buy orange juice of course)
and it was built like the fun house at a carnival or "the house that Jack
built". All the floors were slanted and rickety. I also remember getting
snowed in... in HOULTON! A rare event! Classes were cancelled on St. Patty's
Day 1976 and we were all partying at someone's house by East Hall and taking
turns walking to a local store for supplies. I guess the owner probably
lived upstairs and decided to open. Isn't it sad how many of these memories
are so "foggy"? Hey Lorie McD... where are you? Don't you have a computer

50 CENTS a barrel?!?!? Holy smokes! You could park a volkswagon in one
of those tipped side ways! It seems… I was misled. Good thing my sixth-sense
kept me in bed! No wonder we find so many rocks in bags of Aroostook County
taters ;) Yo K-Bo, it only takes one lush to ruin a good thing. I’m thinkin’
Tony had ulterior motives to have you behind the bar; obviously profits weren’t
one of them. HaHa! From what I heard, it wasn’t the money that caused the
“Three beers rule”, they just got tired of sweeping around you after you
passed out! New subject: Here it is April 9th and I’m looking outside at
a snow covered yard; how’s that story ‘bout global warming go? Maybe we
should rethink the reunion activities… like a Saturday afternoon snowball
fight outside of the commons. I just don’t know what month it is anymore.
I was in the city for St. Patty’s Day and it was 70+ degrees. I still had
the lining in my winter coat and was wearing a scarf. By the time I got
to work (17 blocks) I had given all my clothes to the homeless! Of course
by this point they were only accepting Bermuda shorts and Hawaiian shirts.

Fliegs, they still have those farm stands up in the County, where you
stop, pick out what you want and put money in a little box!! Of course, we
are still trusting. Where in the world did you get the idea that you could
get $5. for a barrel of potatoes. The average price was 30 cents a barrel
and it took a lot of those baskets and bending over to fill a barrel. I think
today, the going rate is 50 cents a barrel. Remember Haffenreffer beer caps(they
still have them today) by the third beer, you couldn't solve those puzzles
and by the 6th, you couldn't read those puzzles.

You were supposed to buy Heiffinraffer (sp?) Private Stock for a good
CHEAP time. To this day I can't even smell the stuff without my stomach
turning. Potatoes I picked I only got 50 cents a barrel. Used to really
get to me when I would make 3.50 for a full days work and someones grandmother
would picked 80 barrels and stop only because it was getting dark. My back
would take weeks to get back to normal. Bud was 1.50 a six pack at that
store on High St. Can't remember the name. Age is sneaking up on me. Have
a good reunion everyone.

You know Professor, I’m surprised they even took checks. It’s not that
the good people of the northeast aren’t your basic down-to-earth trusting
types, but they’re nobody’s fool either. If one of you jokers walked into
my store and wanted to write a check for a six-pack, I’d have a good hardy
laugh! What did a six-pack of Bud cost back then…$2.50? I guess this was
a time without ATM’s (how did we ever survive?) Damn, now you got me thnking;
I do remember going into Skehan’s with Brennan to buy beer. Barry would
always drop names to get his checks cashed. I can hear him now…”Hey, hey
(he’d chuckle) Mr. Skehan! Wha’s up? (I think he started that) How’s Jimmy?(or
Where’s Jean been hidin' herself?)”. Sure enough Mr. Skehan would give a
side ways look and then cash our checks. I can just imagine him (Mr. Skehan)
that night at the dinner table. “Ya know Jimmy, I had a couple of your friends
in the store today…Barry and Rob, I took their checks. You do know them
don’ cha?” I can see Jimmy falling off his chair laughing, “Sure Dad, they’re
friends of mine…but jeez… don’t take their checks!!” We used to plan to
go pick potatoes (for what $5.00 a barrel), but I could never get up that
early. Those guys would start at dawn and I was just getting in. I preferred
walking up to the hospital and donating blood for $15 to $25 bucks a pop
(not sure of the amount, but I think it was the latter cause you could only
go once every 6 months or something like that). That job also featured the
special bonus of getting ripped on a whole lot less beer. Ah the good old
days of just doin’ enough to get by. Happy times in deed – later Fliegs

Hi, my attempts at reviving my musical career(?) are starting to gain
some momentum. A couple of weeks ago I put a new (yes, written in 2003 and
not 1973) song, "Beer and Broken Hearts - Acc Mix", on mp3.com, and with
a little help from a promo auction bid, the cost of which was less than 3
beers these days, it has managed to get up to 26th for Traditional Country.
The song is basically inspired by a typical night at Currier's, for those
who remember it. The whole thing is kind of neat, since the ranking puts
it up there with some legendary artists in addition to the usual mp3.com
types such as the "Dixie Dicks" or "Donna Kay Honey and the Cowpokers". This
is also amazing, since I do not even own a cowboy hat. You can go directly

HAVE TO give headcounts to the caterer and people running the golf tournament!
If you click over to the REUNION section of this site you may register online
(but don't forget to forward a check)! Could anyone tell me how many graduated
in the class of 1969? I'm guessing they are all registered! Some very good
person seems to have made copies of our flyer and distributed it throughout
that class! Please feel free to do that if it is possible that we don't
have their address. The reunion seems years away as the temps here in New
England is still in the teens and there is plenty of snow on the ground!
The fact is that we have FOUR (4) months to go until the REUNION! Please
send in forms or register online.......give a few friends a call and light
fires under those who prefer to procrastinate or are sitting on the fence!

Fragile's partially correct: The theme was "Disney", but the winners were
the Phi Omega Chi sorority, with their incredible tribute to Cinderella.
I believe it was located between the Admin building and the library. I
remember one night after a few (too many) at the Union, I was on the "snake"
and happened to run into ol' Cindy. Hey she was a babe! I asked her out

the reunion, I think she is planning on coming. We're having flurries again
tonight and then going into the deepfreeze again. Boy this sure has been
a long winter . . I can't wait for July!

Sara, the 1974-1975 Snowball weekend was Disney characters. I have slides
that were taken that week, with the first place goiing to Haskell hall.
They built a mickey mouse and the three pigs in the front of the dorm. i
last saw the slides a couple of weeks ago. I'm working on having the slides
printed into pictures. I learned to be a photographer under the hands of
Tweety. She was the Yearbook editor in 1974. Of course those who were there
remember I occupy the picture in the middle of the book. It's a picture that
I've never shown my parents.

Kim, I mailed by check this morning. Is it worth spending 10 hours driving
to Houlton? Yes! Even more so considering it took me 2 1/2 hours to drive
30 miles to work today, with 1 1/2 hours for the last 6 miles. Houlton has
changed. When I graduated in '72 Rt. 95 was not a divided highway for the
last 100 miles or so. US 1 north of Houlton is also wider. You're right about
the internet making it easier to find people. I tried at various times to
contact lost friends during the late 70's and 80's, and it wasn't easy. Believe
me, it's worth the trip if just to see someone you lost touch with over 25
years ago. I recieved email from Howie Solomon last week. The last time I
had seen or heard from him was 1970!

I have heard from TNix and he expressed a great deal of interest (maybe
he is waiting to see what you do?.) Does Rich Kelly = Adirondackelly? I have
heard from Steve O'Donell, Lloyd Cohen, Pat Settembrino, Duke Adams,Frank
Lemanski,Diane Baily, Steve Downy, etc........ If you give me a clue as
to what the magic word would be perhaps I could say it. Is Houlton as you
left it? Nope! Changed allot, but it has the same laid back atmosphere.
I find when I get up there that I am able to slip right back into my 18
year old mindset and the years just melt away. It is certainly not built
up like a big city just changes here and there. It will be a huge shock
to see the town square where the fire was. It feels like Houlton here in
Blackstone, Mass! I have a Farmers porch on the front of my house and when
I looked out Tuesday morning the snow was 1/2 way up covering my bedroom
window! I had an overwhelming urge to jump out! Of course at my age I'd
shatter into a million pieces (Oh, to be young again!) I have three strapping
young sons that managed to shovel me out as I sat at my computer and scrolled
back to 2001 in the Ricker Guestbook. I tried to e-mail anyone I don't have
an address for in THE "Official" Ricker Database!! Also, many of the entries
asked for long lost classmates. I cut and pasted as many names as I found.
This morning I have spent another three hours on the computer white pages
trying to find these people! WITH GREAT SUCCESS!! (I am happy to report).
I am only one person though and I can't find them all. I could with ALL
of you helping me??!! People ask me why I took on this monumental task to
begin with? There are many reasons. It was the best time in my life, I
need a vacation next summer, in the midst of a mid-life crisis, I love you
people, I love planning parties and I am a little insane. The toughest part
of the whole thing is not planning it, it's finding the people and getting
ya'll to commit! I can't guarantee that anyone will be there but I am busting
my hump so that everyone is notified. You all should be calling each other
to stimulate interest. I only went to school for the last two years it was
open so I have no knowledge of those that came before me (unless you send
me names of those you are looking for or I research the website). I think
that this will be an incredable reunion because of the aide of the internet
in finding people. I was given a list of just 400 names by previous organizers
and have nearly tripled the list in three months time! We had a very successful
meeting here on Sunday afternoon. With the help of Dave Hamacher all the
tasks were delegated to committee members! The only thing left for me to
do is work on expanding the database.....PLEASE GIVE ME SOME HELP? Once
we get this database together planning a reunion will be a piece of cake.
Although I have to wonder IF anymore will be planned. As Mayor Ed noted.........the
youngest Ricker graduates are mid-forties. Get your registration forms out
with your checkbook and go nuts! Don't worry about who will or won't be there.
E-mail me for #'s and addresses of those folks you'd most like to see and
CALL THEM UP! There is no better motivator then a "blast-from-the-past"!!!
It may be our LAST HURRAH!

Any chance of renting a bus for the trip from Kittery to Houlton on Friday
and returning on Sunday? I recall leaving Houlton hungover, pit stop at
the McDonald's in Bangor, near misses along 95 and not at full sensory awareness
until Portland. Partying and snoozing would lighten the load both ways and
start the festivities a few hours earlier. Go bulldogs and Sal the Barber..

Hi everyone well the reunion committee met yesterday at Kimbo's house
everything seems to progressing. What I would like to ask all of you who
plan on attending the reunion to please send in your application and check
to Kimbo I understand that we all like to procrastinate but it is important
that we have an accurate count as soon as possible to know where we stand.
The reunion is just five months away. Sending in your application and check
would really bring alot less stress to all of us on the committee. So if
you plan on attending please take a few minutes to send in your check it
would be greatly appreciated. Kimbo has really busted her butt on this and
its looks like its going to be great I can't wait to see all you guys again.Well
take care hope to hear from you all that your going to the reunion. Later,
I have to go and shovel.

Dear Kimbo, Congratulations on the '03 reunion plans. It's a great
tradition to come back to Houlton and celebrate the great years we spent
at Ricker College. When our team organized the '95 reunion, going to Houlton
was the core idea. We were welcomed and supported by the Town of Houlton,
the Chamber of Commerce and especially the Ricker Alumni of Aroostock county.
Since the last reunion that Fliegs and company put on, the word has spread
and the connections have widened to where we could easily have over 1000
people with support from everyone who's been to the last two reunions.
I mentioned some time last year that this is the 25th anniversay of Ricker's
closing. The youngest Ricker grad is 45. We're just not going to have that
many more opportunities to get this great group of people together and we
should make this one a priority. I applaud your efforts and will do everything
I can to get my friends up there in July. I know this guestbook can read
like a private chatroom for a dozen people or so at times, but there are
hundreds of people checking this out who don't post messages. I encourgae
those people to contact Kim with your names and conacts from the past so
she can take this gathering to the next level. You're well on your way Kim!
See you in July.

Curtis, yes, I remember Houlton--it seemed that every day there was a
fresh coat of snow! And the snowbanks were, indeed, high(er). Or maybe
we were just young(er) and they SEEMED that way. I know what you mean about
people "waiting" by their mailbox, as when I first was a career employee
I was being taught to deliver a city route. One of the stops was an elderly
complex. Trust me, they were all waiting in line, and especially on SS Day!
Of course I was a "trainee" so I was always considerably later than the
regular city carrier. When I walked in the door someone would always exclaim,
"Oh, it's the GIRL!"...It's amazing how mailboxes can be totally snowed in...but
on SS Day you can be sure you'll have a clean "approach" to the box. Man,
I hope that's not what I have to look forward to down the road!

Joyce- doesn't all this snow remind you of the winters we spent at Ricker,
when the snowbanks were higher? Also, people clear away the snow and fix
their mailboxes when they want their checks. You can find some of these
little old ladies, with a hammar, waiting by their mailboxes making sure
I bring there social security checks.

Belmont, NH USA - Sunday, February 09, 2003 at 18:41:15 (PST)
Chuck, Yes, the driveway thing is a bit "much" this year. Guy had to
come by and "push back" the snow...for an extra fee, of course...because
there is so much of it this year! And as for mailboxes (Curtis), many have
been demolished. One guy in town painted his mailbox hunter orange (and
during hunting season, at that!) This guy is a NH Highway Dep't. worker,
so he plows state roads in the area. When he came into my post office to
mail something I (jokingly) asked if he was afraid someone might mistake
his mailbox for a deer and shoot it during hunting season. "No, he replied,
I'm just trying to keep it from getting hit by the snowplow this winter!"
The IRONIC thing about this is that the very first snowstorm we had, his
mailbox got wiped out by the driver of the "wing plow". He fixed his mailbox
and the very NEXT storm we had, his mailbox got wiped out again! He has
resigned himself to the fact his mailbox is staying broken until winter has
ended, and has resorted to picking up his mail at the post office instead.
Chuck doesn't have THESE problems...and doesn't have to deal with a weather
forecast predicting well below zero degrees at night for the next week--one
night it looks like about 23 BELOW ZERO! EEEEK...

They were at the gym not gum! Anyway - Thank you Angie and Sarah and everyone
for your kind words. Organizing this reunion has been a labor of love!
I was only at Ricker for a short time when they closed the doors on me.
As I've said before, I to this day have dreams about the place. It was a
coming of age, a new independence. I loved every minute I was there (except
when Gomer dumped me but that’s a story for another day). We were a huge
family - students and faculty alike. In fact, I feel a kinship with everyone
I have met through organizing this reunion and attending others. When you
think about it, it takes an adventurous person to attend college at the end
of the Earth! Many only lasted a semester but those of us that stayed were
a special breed. You either loved it or hated it. I keep getting e-mail
from folks that attended in the 50's, 60's and even early 70’s saying because
of entries in the guestbook and names on the committee list, that this is
a seventies reunion…………..THAT JUST AIN’T SO! If I wanted to have a party
for my classmates I could do that right here in Blackstone with considerably
less aggravation and expense! I love to organize parties. I love Houlton
and I love Ricker! I want you all to go! I am trying to have something
for everyone. Someone wrote to me that they didn’t want to travel hundreds
of miles to be the only Grandma… Guess what? People that graduated in the
late seventies are Grandparents too! Granted a “reunion” is for re-uniting
with old friends. So tell me who you want to see and work with me to find
them. Don’t be embarrassed if you are married with 30 grandchildren and
just want to sneak a peak at ole what’s-his-name again. I hesitate to put
the names up on the site because I haven’t received half of what I expect.
People love to procrastinate! KNOCK IT OFF! Just write the check, fill
out the form and throw it in the mail – damn it! Let’s get finding people
and stop sitting on the fence! There have to be hundreds I don’t have.
It makes me crazy when people say, “I won’t know anyone there.” How do you
know that unless you go!! And why do you expect that I would know who you
want to see!! I can tell you this - I have talked with Ed Malloy, Donna
Baietti, Rob Fliegel, Pat Settembrino, etc., all past organizers, none are
real eager to organize another reunion!! It’s ALLOT OF WORK! This could
very well be the last one…… I could get Bruce Springstien, The Beatles and
Elvis but it still wouldn’t be a success unless we get the numbers. The
Civic Center will hold about 1,500. I say we fill it!! Dale, if we do that
we will make enough money to hold the next reunion at Disney! HELP ME?

I would love it if we had 19" on snow here in Mass! I think I may retire
in Houlton (just depends where my husband goes-ha). The last year at Ricker
(25 years ago) they closed both Reid and Ackerly Halls and stuck the Ackerly
people in the bottom floor of Hasckal (sp?) and the Reid guys on 1st floor
of Beast (East). Kathy Hill was an RA on the top floor and my partner in
crime. One day the guys were at the gum for basketball and Kathy and I opened
Owen Bierne, Tony Santo and Joe Hellyar's rooms and switched their beds and
drawers around to each others rooms. They were trading stuff back in April,
ha! When they came back to the dorm they somehow knew who did it...they
tied our hands and feet together and threw us out the first floor windows
into the snow drifts!! It was cold!! But fun.........

Hey Smokey and Mike.Did Tom McGee jump out of the girls dorm windows into
snow or grass when he broke both his arms, I can't remember !?! I do remember
a lot of jumping out of windows ! I was looking through old pictures this
weekend. Do you all remember Snowball Weekend when the snow sculptures were
done? I can't remember if it was the winter of 73-74 or 74-75, but I found
some pictures this weekend and my boys were amazed at what was made. I think
the theme was fairy tales or something like that. Sorry Kimbo but I couldn't
part with any of them.Kimbo, I just made out my check and it will be in the
mail tomorrow, for real !! I too want to say thank you to Kimbo and the committee
for all their hard work. Looking forward to July in Houlton.

Good Morning to all Ricker fans, from snow bound Aroostook county. Everything
is cancelled and I'm stuck at home. We have about 19" of new snow on the
ground and drifts like I haven't seen for years. The plow came about 4AM
and it looks like nothing was accompished. This could get expensive at 25$
each drive through. Oh well if that's thats the only bad thing that happens
around here I'll take it. Now about the reunion, I think we owe Kimbo a great
big THANK YOU for all that she has done. I know there are others involved
but she has probably contributed more than anyone in getting this thing off
the ground. I also think she deserves a thank you from the town of Houlton
and from the Chamber of Commerce. BTW did you know that the Chamber Director,Paula
Genron, is the daughter of Mr Coolong who used to teach at Ricker. I was
in touch with Ellen (Brown) Ross last week and she had no idea about the
reunion or this site. There are so many out there who have no idea that
Ricker lives. We need to spend more time net working. Here are some of
the names I know around Maine,Ed Bonenfant, Butch Cannan, Al Condon, Ray
Lamoreau, Cliff Foster, Gene Jackins. Some of these people are older from
the early 60's and 50's. I will send Kimbo the addresses when I get them.
If all of us come up with a few names this reunion could be the best ever.
Keep up the good work! Angie

else that five year old girl hits really, really hard. On a more serious
note I hope everyone have already made their reservations for the reunion
time is getting short also if you think of anything, or anyone that needs
to be notified please let me or someone on the reunion committee know thanks

Hey Irv, You sound like the guy for me! As for Tommy, all you have to
do is scratch behind his ears. Hi everyone, I ran into Deb Lukis unexpectedly
on Saturday and we were reminiscing. She is looking forward to the reunion.
It doesn't look like I can make it, but I would urge anyone out there who
has the opportunity to go, not to miss this incredible experience. The last
two were the most fun I've had since I left Ricker!

Irving I apologize for beating you up but I have grown over these many
years and no longer do that type of thing. As Kimbo noted that I am old and
frail now. I hope that you attend the reunion and I hope that you won't beat
me up because of my past indiscretions again I apologize. Hope to see you
at the reunion Tom

Hey Irv - I've seen Tommy Sousa lately.............he won't be throwing
any punches and even if he could he couldn't hurt a fly! Do you know how
old he is?

Hello Kimberly. I am not sure how you counted the “20”, but I counted
22 groups or 28 individuals. Actually it looks like John Lucy might be lurking
in the Elliot party, so that would make 29. One cannot say enough for accuracy.
Of course I’m a very good driver. I’d like to say I was planning on attending,
but I see Thomas Sousa is going to be there and he always beat me up. One
time he hit me 37 times; I counted each one. It is very important to be
accurate. I have to go now; I think the shirts in my closet are not in the
correct order. – Sincerely yours, Irving Winkleman

Oh-MY-Gosh! It’s only 174 more shopping days ‘til I start “Boltin’ for
Houlton”. Boy I better hurry and get packed… Now where were we? Oh yeah,
still need a place for the barbecue (don’t worry Bev I ain’t cooking, I’m
pouring), how about out at the golf course. Do they have some kind’ve pavilion
(in case of inclement weather), barbecue pits, and bathroom facilities.
We’ll already have some gophers on the links, might as well consolidate the
tribe. Of course, I’m still hoping we can use the Ole Campus. Some tunes
cranked and a Frisbee or two and that might be real nostalgic… ya better
throw that old Frisbee right to me cause I ain’t running for it! That’s
whatcha got a dog fer. I got a nice Christmas call from my old roomie (he
still has those pink pajamas… and you wonder why I got a single!). Anyway,
he said he saw some ominous black smoke rising from the area of Sean’s camp.
We warned him to play nice with the locals…hmmm. Hopefully, he’s just having
a party (if it was my house, Bev would say I’m just cooking dinner…nah nah…sheesh,
she’s such a brat). Still, she’s kind’ve cute so I’ll just let it ride.
Speaking of cute, I got a great Christmas card from Lorie McDaniel. I gotta
tell you - the front of the card had a picture of a stained glass window
that I assumed was on a church or something. Turns out that’s HER art (6’X
9’ "Shepherd of the Hills")! It was awesome. Yeah, she’s gonna be there
(at the reunion), maybe she'll have some pics. It’s time for me to amble
on home kids – Later Fliegs ;)

Yo K-Bo, If you send me the database, I can create a quickie (the old
standby HaHa) report listing the names and "ricker years" (if included) of
the paid respondants, so you can cut and paste it on the forum board (hell
I'll do it myself). Darlin' need the "base" and it's okay if it's not perfectly
current. Let me do what I do - ;) Fliegs

Hello out there in Rickerland! I just received an e-mail from Angie Graves
(thank you Angie for all the hotel info). I found something she said a bit
disheartening.... She said she has spoken with people from various classes
that say they won't attend the reunion because they don't know the people
that are writing in the "Guestbook"!! I have about 150 paid returns NONE
HAVE EVER WRITTEN IN THE GUESTBOOK!! Do not let that sway your decision.
If you want to know who is going write and ask me?? This is going to be
an awesome time "for everyone"! I have a wonderful idea- - - ATTENTION ALL
you lurkers, Please write in the guestbook? Sign your name (e-mail and addresses
are not necessary) Just - "I'm there" with your name and class year...will
do! PLEASE! Let's get this party rolling? They are not taking my word
for it so they must be convinced!!

Yo, it's okay Muff, cause my kids aren't going to be there. You see,
I already told them all the things I did when I was young and figured they'd
rebel like teenagers are apt to, and do just the opposite. In fact they
are completely straight. My daughter joined a convent and my son has applied
to the DEA to be a narc. Maybe I over did it? (lol) - Fliegs
