At right: Art Harmon at the 2001 reunion.The blogging software I use - provided by Blogger (www.blogger.com) - enables me to see a kind of index of all entries. Since I have coded each entry with mentioned years (both individual years and also decades), I can see how evenly or unevenly I've made entries across the eras. I see that not one entry so far mentions 1964, but why slight '64? It was a very good year....at Wawayanda.

Mike Braun of Westfield - counselor
