Hey Classmates… Be sure to read this Sunday’s Today NP.   Page 8D  
One of our good friends has his picture there…  top left corner!   (Roy Tharpe)
Hummmmm I  would be smiling too if I was surrounded by pretty girls!  lol

History lesson for today! Reebok’s in the late 1990’s marketed a woman’s
tennis shoe with the name  Incubus… Incubus is a male demon who
comes upon women in their sleep and has his way with them!   
Reebok pulled them from the market after disappointing sales.   duh?
Female equivalent is a demoness who targets men and is known as a “succubus” !

One of these little GEM’s a.k.a.  succubi (singular)  occasionally visits JD’s!
Does she or doesn’t she? Be sure to attend this week’s event for your
chance to possibly observe this unique creature! 
Oh Yeh!   At least one male demon is there every night!

ARE YOU ONE? Sadly this Friday about 700 KSC workers will be laid off!
Most likely some of them will be classmates and friends.   We wish them all
the best of luck in their future endeavors!  After my 30 years at KSC, I too had
a period-of-adjustment to go through.  It took almost a year but now I realize
“These are some of the best years of my life!”   luv ya  CREW! B-T-B

Question from a lady classmate, do you ladies remember Villager Dresses?
a.k.a.  Lady Bug?  1965-68
It was a particular brand of dress, one which isn’t made any more.
A Villager dress, a cotton shirtwaist with a round collar, short sleeves
and a straight skirt, in a delicate print of tiny blue flowers on a white background.
It has pearl buttons and rows of tucks on the bodice. Each tuck is stitched down,
and the pearl buttons do not open. The belt is elastic, dyed blue to match the dress,
trimmed in leather, also dyed to match, with a brass buckle.
If you have any pictures of this type dress I hope you might email them to me!
When you bought one it came with a small red lady bug stick pin!
If you have one?    Someone is looking…

A Celebration of life:
Last Sunday after I had sent the HAPPY HOUR CREW email,  I attended the

CREW members were there along with friends, family of Art and Sandee
It was a wonderful tribute!   Art may be gone but will never be forgotten!
