Got your post. Atlanta is almost 200 miles across in any direction. And the focus of the news is probably a square mile in ;the center where tourist, conventioneers and sports fans /go. Hope all are staying safe. At thIs age life avoiding the virus isn’t very different from retirement.

Despite Parkinson’s a train buddy [r] and I were able to spend a week running my miniature trains at two tracks in central Florida. I may grow older...but I won’t grow up.

We had friends from around East that would meet up with all of my friends from West to play football and baseball. It is hard to believe we could ride our bikes anywhere in kenmore and the Tonawandans and be out of touch for hours.

When I read about HS memories I draw an almost total blank. Is there anyone out there who was a friend or remembers me? I am trying to rediscover who I was or what I was like. Sadlly, hardly anything in the 1965 yearbook jogs any memories of people or events. If you can help please email: lavay@aol.com. Thanks -- LaVay Sheldon.
