Hey Tom, we're in PA on a road trip visiting family and want to stop and see you and Gretchen on our way to Nashville. So started a call from my best friend in high school last week. Chuck went to CA in 1970 to fight forest fires, found a career and true love in Fresno and never returned to the east coast. We met Linda before they married on a trip to the west coast, circa 1972. We have stayed in touch over the years, seen them at reunions and last visited them when I climbed Half Dome with Linda and her friends.
Sunday evening passed quickly over cocktails and dinner as we reminisced about mutual friends and past adventures, children, grandchildren and retirement. Today we took a ride north on the Blue Ridge Parkway since Linda and Chuck had not been on it, then dropped down to Nellysford for lunch at the Wild Wolf Brewery. The food was great as usual and Linda was quite excited over the regular and seasonal beer flights!
Thanks for making the call Chuck, we appreciate you guys taking the time to stop and see us. It was so nice to catch up with you two. We'll see you next year at the Schuylkill Haven HS class reunion; although I'm really not sure I can wrap my mind around the fact that we graduated....
50 years ago!
