i was telling my friend dee about being on king alumni and she said we should go to a reunion and of course i said there is one next month. she got really excited. i guess i will check into it. would love to see some faces i haven't seen in awhile. i will have my daughter download some of our family pictures when she has a chance...other than that take care and keep in touch.
glad to hear you were blessed to come out of the cancer. my mom is well she retired and moved down to shreveport, louisisana. it is funny because she is up here most the time. she is a hands on grandma. my sister works for mpd in 911 communicator. she has been there for almost 2 years. we use to work in the same building until i left mpd and transfer to dpw. she has a 17 yr old daughter. so my mom was an instant grandmother within 3 weeks of the births. so how many children do you and your wife have? is your mom still in milwaukee? have you ever ran into jennie, issac or darlene from clarke.? i ran into jennie awhile back her mom had died. but she was doing well.
Oh my goodness. I have also been looking for you for years. we had such a good friendship in grade school. Dee Dee is fine i guess. She and her mom dont really socialize much with the family. But I am doing well. You know I left king and went to about 2 more schools. I think I was lost. But the good thing is I did graduate. Went to take classes at MATC. Had twins, a boy and a girl who are now 17 yrs old. Been married 5 yrs. What about you. You have a lovely family. Where are you living now?
I am on Alameda Rd. near 39th Drive between Pinnacle Peak and Happy Valley. Peoria does have strange borders. I didn't know Peoria extended as far as Happy Valley. Geographically we're actually in Phoenix but the address is a Glendale address, go figure. Hey, I got some domestic things to do early today. Once I am finished maybe you can come over shoot a game of pool. I am not sure how old your son is but my step-so is thirteen. If you want to bring him by they can probably play Wii or shoot some pool w/ us. I'll give you a call on or before 12 this afternoon.
Hold on now! You're in AZ also. I'll have to give you a call before this weekend is over for certain. Look forward to catching up w/ you. I am at 602-791-5349 and my email address is travisjking@gmail.com.
