Here's sending you an early birthday greeting; hope this finds you feeling well and ready to celebrate your birthday with family and friends. Can't have a BIG celebration due to covid 19 but oh, well.
Talking about classic cars, while away at college getting my 4yr. degree, my Dad helped me locate a first car for me; a 1964 Rambler, E stick transmission. This was bought at Romans Chevrolet in Independence for $400 in 1967. Due to the E-stick trans., I suppose no one else wanted to buy it. I had of course, learned to use a clutch and knew how to change a tire so Dad knew I could learn to use the E-stick which I did and left home to go back to college in LeMars, Ia. which was 500 miles. After buying the car, we got the title transf. and ins. purchased and I drove home and then picked up my passenger in Parsons the next day and off we went. My parents had a lot of trust and faith in me and God to send me off like that. But I didn't think anything of it. (no cell phone, etc. then) That was a pretty neat little car!

Donnie, how are you doing? I haven't gone on facebook lately to see if you've written on it. Let me know how you're doing. Have you had anything published? Or maybe you haven't taken that route with doing your other things. Let me know. Joan

Hi Mary Ann; wishing you a very happy birthday. I think of you often and the fun you, Sharan, and I had together. I stay in touch with Sharan and would like to hear from you. I know so many are on facebook and I enjoy reading it but I'm not consistent in staying with it. Take care, friend. Joan

Hi Roger, another birthday rolling around, right. Well, I attended another memorial service today for a classmate. That of Jimmie Sitsler. He passed on Jan. 27. His twin, Janie, passed about 3 yrs. ago. Both had severe breathing problems. I saw John Dunsworth, Becky Hurst (sp.) Gordan, Cassurole and she was with Harry Stanley. I hadn't seen John since highschool. Heard lots of old stories. John was married to Royce Ann Mayfield's sister, Becky. Royce was in our class. Have a good day with family. Joan

Hi Bonnie; Sorry I'm a day late with birthday greetings. I thought I had already done that but apparently not. Anyway, sending birthday wishes to you now and many more to come!
