Traveling to the Amelith Kids Class of 1963 Reunion

Monday, 30-July-2007 - Bay City, MI - Woke up to another wonderful sunrise. Did my morning exercises. Said goodbye to Tyler, Joel, and Cecily before they went off to work. Caught a cicada (Cicadoidea), which had clung to my skateboot when I brought it inside from drying--found its moulted-skin shell when I was packing my suitcase. The insect was crawling under my feet. Had a nice chat with Jane at the kitchen table. After saying goodbye, had a nice drive up to Bay City--windows down and listening to country music. Got in at the hotel around 1730. Took a quick shower and made it over to Bergers around 1815. I was great seeing everyone--six of the nine graduates where there. It was 40 years since I had seen Ron Johnson. The stories that went around the table were great. We remembered Mr Gremel's discipline at the one-room East School. We laughed about geography lessons, learning where Moscow (Ma's cow) was located. After a great meal (I had baked salmon), we went over to Sally's and sat around the fire bowl and told more stories.
