In the beginning of a change, the patriot is a scarce man, and brave, and hated and scorned. When his cause succeeds, the timid join him, for then it costs nothing to be a patriot. ~Mark Twain, Notebook, 1935 |

Today’s Veterans Day. As a vet, no one has to thank me for what I did. I did what I had to do. What we should be looking at is (a) was every sacrifice absolutely necessary? (b) have we fulfilled our commitment to the boys and girls who did our dirty work? (c) did we learn our lessons from our mistakes? Sadly, I think we fall short on all three questions. I’ve blogged about some things that I felt strongly about. http://tinyurl.com/2xjljs http://tinyurl.com/yrobh9 http://tinyurl.com/27pnww No sense repeating them here. I don’t think we honor veterans! In fact, I’m ashamed at how we let our comrades-in-arms be treated. |

JEMAILXX: NYC Alumni Meeting http://jxymxu7sn5ho9d.googlepages.com/20071108_mc_nyc_meeting Just a quick report about last night’s
get together. Peter Quinn ‘69 was a hoot. He was charming, self-deprecating,
and quite insightful (imho). He was quite frank about the Good, Bad and Ugly
of Jaspers, I’m going to try to get the text of his remarks so I can
pull out all the gems. Such as when he faked a book report and the good
Brother AQ told him “Mister Quinn, you’re full of shit”. His life lesson from
that was “you have to do the work”. And “I wish that Brother AQ was in many
of the political meetings with me so he could have dispensed his wisdom to
blow hards with fancy degrees.” And, “I never felt
at a disadvantage with my He had the crowd in stitches as he described his “career of unsuccess”. All in all, to me, it was worth the attention, time and cost. Of special note, Jaspers are getting much better looking than when I was there. Cheers, fjohn68 p.s.: The next NYC meeting is April 10th. If the Intelligent Designer permits, I’m planning to go. # - # - # |

The Prep Class of 64 has had five deaths and is more than ½ unaccounted for. Is it inscribed in the front cover? That was a tradition. That, and having all your friends write in it. I think mine has three people who wrote in it – SteveT, JohnDuB deceased for many years, and my girlfriend at the time VB. Sad, that I even remember that. Times past. I am sorry you had email trouble. Too long ago to track down. I try to be available. You can always email now at anything @ reinke dot cc. Congrats on the fine family; they are truly your treasure.
