I called Dick, and remarked that he must have known John well in Hanover. But he quickly corrected me. We didn't know each other then at all. And now that friendship is bearing great fruit. Swimming is an activity that I have just resurrected after a 40-year layoff.
Fishing is also a major avocation.
I am involved with a service organization helping underprivileged children mostly from 0-5 years of age as well. Bill and Dick, incidentally, finished 1-2 in the 50 yard breaststroke, and each won several other events in a master's swimming competition in Atlanta. Both were roommates of Bob in Hanover. And to this end, our next reunion will be at homecoming Oct. 19 and 20. It's the Columbia game, and as so many times before, it's bound to be a great time for all who show.
