I have a bad feeling can some one please tell me if you are all speaking about Joe the drummer, I have not read any posts by him ?
Terry you and the other people have worked do hard to make the reunion happen I just know that it is going to be one of the best things that will happen to see all or at least most of your old friends from the old neighborhood.
If any one don't have a great time it will be their own fault, nothing will go wrong I'll pray for that.

I think we all need a good laugh..................


For several years, a wealthy married man was having an affair with an Italian woman. One night, she confided that she was pregnant. Not wanting to ruin his marriage or his reputation, he paid her a large sum of money and she went off to Italy to have the child secretly. If she stayed in Italy to raise the child, he would provide support for 18 years. She agreed, but she asked how he would know when the baby was born.

To keep it discrete, he told her to simply mail him a post card and write spaghetti on the back. He would arrange for the child support payments to begin.

One day, about nine months later, he came home from work to his confused wife. “Honey” she said, “you received a very strange post card today.” “Oh, just give it to me and I’ll figure it out,” he said.

The wife obeyed and gave it to him. She watched as he turned pale ... and fainted.

On the card was written: Spaghetti, Spaghetti, Spaghetti, Spaghetti, Spaghetti.

Three with meatballs, two without.

Send extra sauce!

Jim, I am so sorry you will not be able to make the reunion. I was so looking forward to meeting you......maybe your plans will change and you will be there....

JIM. MAYBE YOU CAN GET AWAY FOR A FEW HOURS,AND JOIN US. YOUR GUEST SHOULD UNDERSTAND. THIS WAS SOMETHING YOU HAD PLANNED FOR MONTHS, YOU CAN COME FOR THE AFTERNOON, AND JOIN YOUR GUEST FOR THE EVENING. DO YOU THINK YOUR WIFE WILL BE OK WITH THAT IDEA. I FEEL BAD FOR YOU. BECAUSE I KNOW YOU REALLY WANT TO BE THERE. I WAS SO LOOKING FORWARD TO MEET MY JESTER !!!!
TRY TO COME PLEASE.......QUEEN
