I enjoyed seeing Elaine at our reunion several years ago, but I have lost touch with her again. Please give her my best

Happy birthday! Have a blessed day.

I couldn't agree more about Jo Ann.  What a life well spent and shared with thousands of others.  She was so funny and talented in so many ways.

happy birthday BUCKAROO! HAVE a good day

Indeed, Edmund was a great friend and always a lot of fun to be around.  We saw a lot of each other in Austin the last few years of his life.  Edmund was working in physics at Balcones Research Center, his wife Mary was an attorney in the Enrolling & Engrossing office in the state capitol.  That's where the ideas (good, bad, and ugly) that legislators have for new laws are turned into bills.  I think all the attorneys working there were women, and all of them wickedly smart.  That office was tucked away in the basement of the capitol, not too far from the snack bar.  Working as a speechwriter and consultant for Governor Briscoe, I was in the capitol 3 or 4 days a week and I often had coffee with Mary.  Edmund, Mary, a girlfriend, and I got together for Mexican food every Wednesday and did a lot of drinking and eating at their house on Rio Grande weekends.  One Friday evening I returned from an out of state trip and called Edmund's home.  A cousin answered and told me Edmund and Mary were at a hospital where he was going to have back surgery the next morning.  Can't remember the name of that hospital now, but it was in East Austin and not far from the house I was restoring and living in at the time.  So I went there and the three of us had a great time talking and joking around until it was time for visitors to leave.  I was awakened early the next morning by a call from one of their close friends.  Edmund had died in the recovery room following the surgery.  It was a terrible time. They had two children, one an infant and the other I think was maybe three.  Mary moved away from Austin, I began spending more time in California, and it was many years before I saw her again.

Best Wishes for an especially Happy and Healthy Birthday. I think of you often and hope all is well. Such a pleasure to remember such a long-time good friend.
