Lodds 'n'ends
By Carl Howard ...Who can say????? Word has it that them thar' hills at the Gay Festival were alive with more than the sound of music', isn't that right, Paul A.? The Traxx crowd is never going to belleve that you were "only checking for a new disco location" especially not deep in the heart of a Geauga County woods......and then there was the case of John P.; such outrageous behavior for a professional man...did you really get that pulled leg muscle falling down the hill? I certainly hope it was worth it...
...It sometimes is wise to keep a closer eye on friends at parties, especially when the party is far from home...a guy could get left in the country otherwise, eh,
PHIL?
...It is true that a picture is worth a thousand words, isn't it Dale?...
...Donn, what ever is going on at Exedra's Backstage Lounge...the stories coming out of that place could turn Lucy's Afro to knots...
...Speaking of knots and things, what was DAVID C. doing
with that rope and chicken fat at the picnic....and in the mud, no less...John hasn't given it away YET...
...Dave M., whatever happened to all those BUNS? First you were short, then you had more than you could handle...and all that chicken tooooooo, you just don't know when to stop, do you...?
...PAUL & DAVID, what kind of outrageous behavior was happening at Cedar Point...and all the way back to Cleveland, too... Just goes to show, you can dress 'em up but...
...JB, ANDREA, SUZANNE, and the others...your performances at the Cotillion were excellent...it was a joy to see good entertainment...
...Chico, Ricki, Nancy & Cindymany thanks for your great help that morning with getting things started at the picnic...you
were lifesavers...
...Among many other things, it was good to see such a spirit of cooperation and helpfulness on the part of a people at the picnic...
...Booble, who had more fun... you, Phyllis, Marc or JB...or was it a draw...?
