John Jay High School - Original Mustangs '69 - '70 - '71

Well, here I am at work, taking a few moments to blog in here. Not too much going on these days in my life. I did hear from Mrs. Marjorie Valentine, our former math teacher at JJHS and she is recuperating from broken ribs sustained in a fall. She is on the mend, she tells me.

Tomorrow, November 1st, Northside ISD is dedicating the school named after our former sciences teacher Mr. Peggy Carnahan. It is a well deserved honor. I hope that former students, fellow teachers and friends can stop by during the dedication to congratulate her. Because of my very limited ability to walk, I will be unable to attend. I do send her my best wishes.

Well, the presidential election is just days away. I was telling my mom that since she's only 19 years older than me and because of the timing of my birth, she has lived under only ONE more president than I have! She had FDR and I came in under Truman who succeeded him. Cool. Also, Mom has lived under only one more POPE than I have, too. Just some family trivia.

I haven't heard from too many people in the past month. In fact, I haven't even made an entry on the web site for this entire month. I did hear from Matt Delaney ('70) who recently spent a couple of weeks in the New Yrok, Long Island area. He remembered that Long Island is where most of my family is from. He hiked through Central Park and got to visit the IMAGINE tribute to John Lennon. He didn't mention if he got mugged in the park or not. LOL

I really like hearing from all you wonderful folks. Please just give me a call at (210) 674-6767 or e-mail me. I get lonely these days. I am pretty much home-bound these days except for getting to work and back. Ya' don't gotta' send in any donation money, when you write to me- just write! My address is 7439 Lancewood, San Antonio, TX 78227-1001.

Tell me what's going on in your life. Remember, if you ever need someone to just shoot the breeze with or a shoulder to cry on or someone to share feelings with, well, I'm a great listener and everything is always kept in confidence between us. I promise.

The time is rapidly approaching for me to make up my mind about organizng a reunion in 2010. I'll let everyone know in the next couple of months if I'm doing anything. That way, someone else has enough time to organize something. I've done SIX of these SHINDIGS. I don't know if I'm up for another one.

Well, time to get back to work. I've got a GUYS meeting, tonight, Halloween. Trick or Treat to everyone!

Love is all around,
Dennis
