     Ah yes! June in Boone and a time for reunions. The Kornerman had mentioned earlier that the 1964 class would be meeting next weekend and we plan  to visit at least one of the sessions. But then too, the 1954 class is meeting that same weekend and those folks were just a year behind my class so I know lots of those academic scholars.
     Then too, I want to mention that something new is being attempted in July. An ALL 70's reunion is planned for July 25-27 with various opportunities for those who attend. I'm sure we'll provide more information as that date draws nearer. We can tell you that Georgia Robertson or Deb Chadourne can answer your questions.........Georgia at 515-432-2801 or Deb at 515-212-1381.
     In looking at the calendar, the 1951 class will have a reunion in September, the 20th, and a reminder that Pufferbilly Days this year is scheduled for September 4-7.
     As long as we're on the subject of upcoming events, let's mention again that the 114th Iowa By the Sea Picnic will be held at Los Angeles harbor on the pier in front of the Battleship Iowa on August 2. For more info....check the iowabytheseapicnic website.

     Jude Rolfes emailed this week from Texas with the news that he will not be able to attend his 1964 reunion this coming weekend but for a good reason........the arrival of his first grandchild. What! Jude Rolfes and others in that '64 class grandparents? Unbelieveable. How can I, the Kornerman, be so old.........I'm several moons prior to that of course.
     Jude also provided an interesting bit of info for those of us retired and with nothing much to do. He wrote, "with Google maps you can virtually drive around Boone using Street View. Just go to Google maps, type in an address, I usually go to 1300 Mamie Eisenhower which puts me on the corner of Linn and Mamie, then select Street View. Once you are there, just use your mouse to virtually cruise through town. The images of Boone were taken last August so they are pretty current."

     Did you hear about the fellow who's whole left side was cut off? He's all right now.

     The  Kornerman ran across a piece somewhere that illustrated the popular hair styles of the 1950's. Hey, that's my era and I don't remember some of these. Yes, there was a butch and a flat top but also mentioned are a college contour, a forward combed booggie, a flat top booggie and an executive contour. What's this booggie business and the contour?
