We will miss our chairman, Tom O'Day, on Saturday


Classmates -

I just received a phone call from my doctor and they have reevaluated my MRI to discover I have a ruptured disk not a herniated disk. ...I am awaiting a phone call from a local surgeon to schedule a procedure next week.

I was all set to spend 4 days in Clearfield. Will miss seeing all of you, but if nothing goes wrong, I'll be at the picnic. I'll try to set up the golf outing with Guy and Giles unless Karl wants to start the process sooner.

I'll keep you informed after next week.

Stay safe and healthy. ( OK, no smart comments..I get enough of them from Dawn when I'm injured.)


The agenda for Saturday's meeting is below.

-Tom.

O'Days visit Sandi Howland Archer in Tucson



Dawn and I had dinner with Sandi in Tucson in March—2012. Nice Mexican food. Good time but Dawn had to listen to all the Clearfield stories.

 Hope to see you in Clearfield on Saturday.
