My Week End

[Grunt]

I took my dad to his 60th HS reunion this weekend
Drove the 3 hours back to his home town in Biloxi
Pretty much what you would expect from a bunch of 80 YOs
A few high lights I thought I would share

My dad gave a pin to a girl 60 years ago and he did not remember her name but she brought the pin with her
I was not there but can only speculate she had pinned over the pin for 60 years
I thought that was very kewl

I then found out the House my Great Grandfather built still stands after Camille and Katrina
The barn in the back is where the first batch of Barqs Root beer was Brewed
My Great Grand dad rented out the barn to old man Barqs the rest is history


I also found out my Cousin Lt Commander Baxter Jones passed this last Jan
He was one hell of a man
Beside his military service he was just that one Guy that was always up beat
He left everyone a Motto to Live By


Life should NOT be a journey
to the grave with the intention
Of a arriving safely in an
attractive and well preserved
body; but rather to skid in
sideways, body thoroughly
used up, totally worn out, and
screaming, "WOO HOO, what a ride!"
