  Larry Dawson!!! My long lost special friend....where the heck did you go and how did we lose contact??!! We have so much to catch up on. I've been overseas since 1999 but I'm headed back to the good ole USA! New Mexico is where we are being stationed! Ugh, it's been forever!!

  Larry,
  Forgot about the squirrel. That was a classic. That was the only time Ms. Haines showed any personality that I can remember. I remember the coffins now. I wonder what they were hiding behind them. I got a scholarship to study french, so I thought what the hell, lets go to France for a year. I got another scholarship, so I thought Paris was nice, lets see Germany. So I delayed graduating for two years and had a blast in Europe. Sorry for the delay in writing back. I check my personal email addresses on the weekend to keep them out of the California state email system. I'll email you back at your personal address sometime this week.

  no such thing as a lowly sergeant - I was one - in fact twice
  back in the days when stripes were put on with velcro = smile. I had a little attitude as a young guy.
  Thanks for your service and Semper Fi

  Re your king of pain post. What were the "coffins," I forget. Yes, I had little or no shame or filters as a young adult. It took years for those to kick in. I guess some people just mature later.

  Have you heard from Wesley? I always wondered what happened with him.

  That's sad about James. He appears to have burned pretty brightly for awhile, wrestling and stuff. That fellow Stoichkov, he's the only Euro soccer player (besides Beckham) that I've ever heard of. He's a national hero for Bulgaria. My brother-in-law tells me that his mother (my mother in law) was Stoichkov's pediatrician (BTW, my wife's entire family are/were doctors). Stoichkov grew up in Plovdif, Bulgaria, where my wife is from. My mother in law said that she would go to the Stoichkov's home when he was a little boy to treat him or one of his siblings and he was always playing soccer. I guess it paid off for him.
  I got scholarships for France and German, to study French and German. So I moved from Boston to do two years abroad. Put off under graduating for a long, long time. Got minors in French and German out of it (as well as a wife). It's funny, when you are both foreigners in a third-party foreign land, you don't really focus on the fact that you and your wife have wildly different backgrounds. It wasn't until I came back to the US-Canada that I realized I had married a "foreigner." When you don't have the same cultural background, there is more listening and attempts at understanding then there are fights about what you "really meant by that." She went to an English high school in Plovdif, so has always been relatively fluent in English, though.
