I get the scoop as it occurs... He let me know in an email that came after I logged off on the evening of 3/19 to let me know that my Spalding "BFF", Craig DAVIS ('65), was going in to Kadlec on the morning of 3/20 to have a triple by-pass... so natch I immediately gotta hold of our friendly Nurse, Ceci BENNETT ('65) to get a room number etc. for Craig... she sent it right back and I've called a few times but no answer so far... Spoze they want him to rest up and stuff... now ta get the picture, ya gotta know the history between us... we weren't just best pals, we were inseparable... If I gotta skinny white belt, Craig got a skinny white belt, If Craig wore his collar up, I wore mine up (and we did)... I wuz gonna send the 5th grade picture with this, but Craig is absent from the pic... I remember us having matching kinda nylon shirts with silver thread running thru the shirts so they shimmered like something Elvis would wear (they also itched like crazy)... we had white bucks and the whole 9 yards... in 5th grade our teacher used to hit us with a rubber hose... the same teacher used to come over to my house and cry on my mother's shoulder... the teacher was deaf as a poker and could never really tell who was causing the problems (what difference did it make... every kid in the class was a died-in-the-wool "hood")... I told my mom and she simply said if she got it wrong on one day it should count for the day before when I got away with whatever I happened to do... not what I wanted to hear... soooooo, we went to Craig's mom and told her my mom was going to the principal, would she do the same... she was glad to oblige and the rubber hose was removed from our teacher's possession... naturally the teacher told my mom and there was hell to pay when I got home that afternoon... I could go on and on about the things Craig and I did in those Spalding days, but you get the picture... by calling Craig to mind, I don't mean to omit the other life long friends from Spalding... they know who they are... but if any of them is about to have heart surgery just lemme know and I'll tell stories on you too... Craig is in room 317 so if ya getta chance to go by... tell him I'm thinking of him and I really did call!!!!!!!! GET WELL SOON, CRAIG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! -David RIVERS ('65) **************************************************************** **************************************************************** >>From: Patti McLAUGHLIN Cleavenger ('65) Re: Class of '65 reunion Anyone from the Class of '65 - celebrating its 50th anniversary in August - who wants to go on our B-Reactor tour on Saturday, August 22 must register with Patti McLAUGHLIN Cleavenger.
