READY AND WAITING TO HEAR FROM YOU

     Yes, after a few day's absence, the Kornerman is back in business and waiting to hear your stories/memories and comments.
     Took a few days away for a family wedding and, thus, there was no "real" Korner Saturday and no  death reportage during the time off. However, we're now "home."
     By the way, we've been stuck with a new "improved?" blog setup and it may take some time for this old blogger to figure things out.

     As the event draws closer, there are more respondents. We're talking about the class of 1958's 80th birthday celebration scheduled for September 24.
     Loren Frazier informs us that 15 classmates have indicated they will attend and he's wondering about others. There is, of course, still some time to make a decision.
     The event will be held at the open air pavilion in Herman Park from 11:30 a.m. to 3 p.m. on the 24th.
     Loren would love to hear from you.
     P.S. I was also told that Loren's birthday was at about that same time as the 1958 class birthday.
