Marie-Elena, It was so nice to see you there today even thou we didn't spend a lot of time your husband seems like a great guy... You always do such a great job and I am just sorry I didn't taste the S&P but after Donald Dehil not recognizing me because I an no longer 140 lbs. I thought I could do without them I am just glad he didn't see me at 210.
Please apologize to Tony I did want to talk with him I said Hello to him and then goodbye if you have his e-mail send me it so I can apologize myself as well.
It was a great get together, I am sorry I didn't get around to talk to everyone more, but I had 30+ years to catch up on with Donald & Elli, in the morning and then another 30+ with Cathy and Bugzy Clark, So I do want to apologize to everyone for not being that social. Thank you to everyone for always making me feel welcome and to those who always doing such a great job.
It is funny I know I am getting old when instead of brining a case of beer to a picnic I bring a case of water and what's worse is...... you even have some left over!
But like I told Donald I think half the times on Archer I don't remember because of having too many beers.So I guess water is the next step.
I was glad I did get around a little and did talk to some.... you all really are a great bunch of people and it is so nice to see that you all get together a few times a year. I met some new people and saw some old ones from last year. Donald and Chris you all do a great job getting this organized,Cathy & Bugzy and their whole crew for always making me feel welcome, and I was so nice to see John Tell and his wife again after meeting them in Nyagra Falls three years ago. Of course I got to see a lot of others as the picnic was breaking up and realized who they were and wished I had more time to talk with them ( I hope next time)
Sorry Jimmy Benny, nor Sue S i was hoping they would be there.
It was so great to talk with Donald and Elli I can not believe they are grandparents but after seeing pictures of their children and grandchildren I can see why they are so proud of saying that they are. Elli....Miss Miller would be proud of your Donald now. (Thanks for the laughs I forgot half the stories of the Pioneer days)... I hope we can get together sooner then the Mud Bowl.
Cathy and Kevin ooh it was like going back in time seeing both of you, You both look great... It was nice remembering all we talked about, I forgot I did your wedding flowers back in the day when I had the business. It was great talking about your mom and dad and the party's at your house as well as you expanding my horizons with Ralph finding new bars out of Archer Street like The Kings Pen even thou we didn't belong there we fit in well, you with you Lilly white skin and me well at least I had a tan ( I am so glad I remembered the name of the bar) Bugzy thanks for reminding me of all the guys I so did forget naming the guys really made me think even deeper and remember times I really forgot. Thanks for the compliment remembering my "Kool car" I wish i had it now. Now I have a another cool car it is just a little harder getting in and out of it.
I would love to get together with you and your brother Mike one day maybe you can bring your fishing pole and him to the lake and share a few "waters"
Linda Hall always great seeing you and you look great as usual sorry I didn't get a chance to see Candy Girl.
Anyway I apologize if I left anyone out but It is so hard to name all the great people I saw yesterday I am glad I was a part of the day.
Thanks Again for a great Day,
Frank Simone
