TEXAS, DECEMBER 18, 2006

Happy Holidays classmates. Weather is great down south, 74 today, perfect and
by Christmas day it is supposed to drop to about 60. Oh darn, but NO SNOW is
in the forecast. That was the reason to move to Texas, no bad weather, when it
does get to 50 or 60, it is still like a beautiful Fall day in Iowa.

Today's paper said that the Iowa football team was a disaster this year. A couple
years ago, it was the same for ISU. They went to Idaho and played their Bowl Game
on a blue field in the snow. Well, Iowa Fans follow the team and bring in big bucks
for the sponsors, so our Hawkeyes are three hours away from me for their bowl
game and I can't go. Big bill for car repairs is keeping me from making the
trip, HOWEVER, I might cruise up there for the Huddle.....Maybe I will just invite
the Ankeny people over for the game........

I have heard from a couple more classmates, we have about a dozen lined up for
the reunion. I"D LIKE TO HEAR FROM YOU, so the committee can make plans.

Holly Happydays.......Cyndy
