Another Cayuga Coyote has left us

I have posted this picture before but will do it again as I just heard that Chuck Haring died.  He was a grade ahead of me.  I do not know all the info but here is some of the sad news:
Chuck is standing in the back just below the M on the sign.  He died a few days ago.
Carl died a couple of years ago.  He is standing in line with the right side of the fish house.
Greg Haring died in 2016 and he is standing in the second row just to Carl's right.
Joey Flash died and he is in the front row with his coat open on both sides.  Also Marvin Wagner died and he is in front in the blue coat.
Of these 5 guys Carl was the oldest and he was born in 1944 so as one can see many of the Cayuga guys died way too young.  I could also add that of the girls Janet, Pat, Collen and my wife Gail died way way too young also.  Don't know what it was about Cayuga???
Terry's second oldest grandson Sam graduated this weekend with highest honors.  In the picture is Terry with her daughter Kim and her husband Dave

Judy Fredrickson (name in HS) with her Hubby Don

Judy and Terry
We had an exhausting but fun weekend.  We left at 8:00 AM on Friday and returned Sunday about 11:00 AM.  In that time we drove 1400 miles, were in the car were in the car about 14 hours, visited Judy and Don, took in Sam's graduation, had lunch with Kim and Dave and spent 2 nights in hotels.  As one can guess I am happy to be home.  It was an uplifting time for Terry as she is so so proud of her grandson and of course should be.  It was so fun to see Judy and her hubby.
Judy was a grade ahead of us in HS.  I think most of the boys had a crush on her as she was such a cutie.  She left our HS after her junior year as her family moved to Fargo.  Terry had not seen her since 1963.  I could add that I did not have a crush on Judy but that may have been only because she was a year older and underclassmen just did not measure up to the older girls, at least that was true for most of the time!!!  Judy married hubby Don in 2000 and they have a lovely home in Winter Haven FL.  Don retired as an MD 20+ years ago.  It was fun seeing and kind of catching up on life.  Judy is a gifted writer and the book that she has put together is awesome.
BUT really the weekend was about grandson Sam.  Terry remembers Sam coming home in early elementary school and just saying his homework was too too difficult.  Here he is 14 or so years later graduating with a total of ONE B in college!  What the heck I got a C in my freshman year!  IF I WANT TO BE TRUTHFUL THERE MAY HAVE BEEN SEVERAL!!!  Anyway Terry looked for people to tell about her grandson and why not!

We are about to get into the "north" mode as we leave in 11 days.  Before that we have some Dr. apt, some PT appt and other things to take care of so it will be a busy time.

That is about all for now.  I did not get my FP this morning as we stayed at a Hampton Inn and of course they do not serve that.  I can hardly wait until tomorrow AM to get my FP for the first time in 72 hours!!!
