A message from the Trailboss. . .

Lorlee sez:

Since I have dial up at home and at the office, we are blocked from u-tube things -- I don't have a clue as to what you said. So, I am sorry, you just have to keep posting things. We need to know who died, cried, graduated, prommed, won state championships, etc. etc.

Trailboss responds to this dear one:

Geez Lorlee, we're still gonna post. Honest. We're just not going to put up the stuff that we're making up just to keep everybody interested and draw an audience. So keep checking. When gold comes, we'll post it. Somebody is going to send us something that matters and sure enough, we're going to post it, post haste! So stand by, my sweetheart! Somebody will give us something! And when they do, it's up there! In the meantime, check the other sites for personal stuff... like my granddaugther....

Oh. And if you missed the YouTube thing, Tom Obert thought it might be a bit like Allistar Cooke, and Diane Hoffman compared it to Charles Kuralt, but, I don't know about all that. Stick with the dialup. Trust me, it's not worth the investment.

By the way, Lorlee, it's just not looking good for Hilary. I know, I know, she's got Puerto Rico, but somehow I don't think that's going to be a deal-maker. What's Mr. Dzuik saying about all this? Dziuk U needs to provide some leadership here. What's next? Nothing helpful or insightful from that limosine liberal Strandberg, of course.

Email from Bonita Olson Gilbertson:

Hi Stan,
I am SO bummed about the blog. I understand what you're saying, but nevertheless I still feel bad. I usually check it daily. Even my daughter Kristi, class of '85, checks it as do many other non classmates. Writing in can be intimidating for people. They maybe think "oh who cares about things that I have to say or tell about." They might be surprised. When I sent in my granddaughter Brittney's Prom pictures I received quite a few comments from people I never knew even looked at the blog. People enjoyed them.

Of course I live in Alex but as I said before, people are watching and enjoying us, no matter how trivial the information is.
So Stan,take the summer off, play some of your beautiful music (and don't forget to listen to Norah Jones)! Enjoy golfing, babysitting, taking pictures and whatever else you do, but please, once in a while put a little something on the blog.
EVERYONE PLEASE HELP STAN OUT. Send SOMETHING in.
Till next time...Bonita Olson Gilbertson

Stan says: Hey Bonita, I will post original stuff that comes from classmates and friends who are talking about themselves and their loved ones. That stuff is gold and we love it. I am just saying we don't get much of that anymore, so we've mostly just been making up stuff about the weather, etc. If someone writes and says they had a crush on Paul Strandberg, believe me, it will be posted. ;)

Email from Kathy Skadsberg:

Dear Stan,

Oh My.
If your YouTube presentation had not been so wonderful, I would be sad to see the blog cease (for a time).
Thanks for all your time and creativity! Will check back with the blog periodically in hopes of catching a glimpse of more classmates and their busy lives. Congratulations to John and his talented family.
Keep in touch and I will be watching you on your family blog.
A big hug,
Kath
