Memory or No, Wilbur Draws a Lot of Laughs

The mail just keeps rolling in for poor Wilbur Shirey, who has yet to prove he was invited to Girl Scout dances in the mid-1950s on the second floor of some unidentified building on Third Street in Clearfield. His memory may be gone but his "support" among classmates remains strong.

Peggy Jo Knepp:

Laughter is indeed the best medicine. Just checked out the blog today & had tears rolling down my face......this time from laughter! The whole Wilbur/GS thing is hilarious. However, I do think you might have made one mistake.....if Wilbur is "buying" then I'm thinking there will be many of us who suddenly remember that troop as well as the dances!

Dennis Mollura:

If no one wanted to dance with him, why would anyone want to drink with him?

Tracy Mollura Erickson, daughter of Dennis and Rosemary:

The Wilbur story is hilarious. Tee hee hee. Ha ha ha. Ho ho ho!! Still laughing. Love the Mr. Ed spoof and photo. "Hello, Wilbur!" When I saw the first story and responses, I was laughing so hard that (husband) Keith and the kids thought I was crying. They were afraid to come in to see what the "problem "was. I was literally rolling on the floor. I loved Suzy Sherkel's description of hearing shouts of "Party at Sherkel's!" from a passing car, and then having to race home to forewarn her parents.

Joyce Moody:

I am really enjoying the "roast" of Wil and the issue of the Girl Scout Dances. You two are just totally unreal in the bantering department...Wil is "not going down" without a fight!

Orvis Kline:

Thanks again for the great job on the blog. It's great to see so many folks participating!

Wilbur:

With the speed at which everyone's mind is deteriorating, and with a year to go, this reunion should be great fun. We'll all think we're meeting each other for the first time.

Dennis:

Care to dance?
