Thanks for that update, Larry.  I still think the Sands did 'Get off my Cloud' better than the Stones.  Just thought I'd mention that...

Is there a list somewhere of the folks who have signed up for the reunion functions next week?  Thanks to whoever might respond.

You need to contact Guy Lucas about Glenn.  I thought Glenn died suddenly from heart or fatigue.

Glenn was working many denistry hours helping out a fellow denist.  Glenn was under alot of financal pressure from his marriages.

I remember meeting Guys neighbor and giving his neighbor my condolances.  And he said he spoke to Guy yesterday.

I thought Alan Echols died from an OD.  Alan could never get over adoption.

In Martin he informed me I was swapped at birth.

Hi Kevin -

Thanks for getting in touch!

I was wrong about the death of Guy Lucas; I corrected this error on this website on 11/30/11.

I was told by Alan Echols' best friend that he died of cancer. Perhaps I misunderstood, or maybe his friend was too embarrassed (or sad) to state the real reason he died. I only know what he told me.

Please stay in touch!

Alan Echol's best friend was Charles Kistler.  As you know Charles died in a car crash.  My brother married one of the Kistler sisters.  I was taken back meeting Charles' son at my brothers Lake Gaston place.  I had to play both Charles and Alan in the 8th grade chess tounament at Martin.  I also had Alans dad as a lecturer at NCSU in the Electrcal Engineering program.  Alan's home is on the way to my sisters place in north Hills and still bears the marker.  Although I never met her, Alan's mom was an attorney.  Alan and Charles were caught together breaking into cars during their youth. 

Another story was that Alan, a red head, ran away from home to NYC.  To prevent his recogonition, Alan attempted to die his hair black.  It came out green.

Maybe I will also be dead before stories are told about me.

Those of you who had Nancy Banks in Martin JR High in the 7 or 8 grades (english and history) may want to participate in sending her a birthday card on her 90 birthday October 10.

The object is to send 90 cards.
