Subject: Re: The Reunion

Dear Albert,

         I heard you had an ND reunion at your palatial long island estate
last week.  How could you have a reunion and not invite rpd?  We missed an
opportunity to join the junior year "gang of four," the Willo, the Fox, Andy
McD and yours truly!  You remember --- the guys that befriended you when no
one else would give you the time of day.  Could it be that, after all these
years, you still fear me because I am the only one who remembers all the
embarassing and ignominious years you spent at ND and that I would unearth
all those incidents that you have been trying to live down since I last laid
eyes on you 25 (yes, 25!) years ago.

          My sources (like those of another "well-known" recluse, Howard
Hughes) tell me that the next reunion will be held in minnesota.  Now,
there's an uninviting forum.  Unless, of course, you think you can attract
any of those nubile swedish girls.  Now, Albert, a man your
age...........what drugs are you on?

Bob,

So... you have some moles out there, eh? 

Well, sorry you didn't make the "A" list for the shindig.  Requirements 
were at least three e-mails and/or two phone calls w/in the last twelve 
months.  You fell woefully short on either count.

As far as my fear of facing the facts of my embarassingly dull social 
life over a four year span at ND... well, I had an awful lot of company 
this weekend.  That helped soothe the pain.

As far as MN as the next venue... I get the pleasure of traveling there 
a few times a year now w/ my new company, so I could easily be talked 
into a change of scenery.  Tom P. has been verykind to offer to host, 
and Gabes feels it would be rude of us to not accept his magnanimous 
gesture. 

I, on the other hand, see Myrtle Beach as a preferred location.  Sun, 
sand, golf, fishing, tennis, restaurants, nightclubs... young married 
Southern women coming in from nearby towns to carouse a bit w/ those 
Northern golf bachelors.  And amazingly inexpensive.

But if it is MN, then I'll start working on those nubile Swedish ladies 
from my old Ericsson connections. 

Albert
