Additional Text for the 08/05/04 Alumni Sandstorm

Well, that oughta just about do it for "discussions"
regarding Pappy's regular missives.

As I read it, it's Grumps: ZERO....Pappy's Pond Pals: 94

This particular thread has generated a veritable plethora of
behind-the-scenes ancillary e-mails. Supporters are rallying
around Pappy and propogating the propoganda with the
standard "reply to all" to the point where my current
business e-mail address has more "Sandstorm" entries than
anything else.

I would posit that we have about run the gamut of who can
and can't contribute and how much they're allowed to say,
and what the subject should be....much better wordsmiths
than myself have stated it succinctly - the curmudgeons
should back off...get a life...chill out...skip the letters
that they deem unworthy of their perusal. I believe that
Maren has a good handle on what should be included (or not),
and I think that the irascible scoundrels that only want to
discuss how GOOD life was, laying in the grade school
hallways with one arm under your head, and the other over
it...while those air raid sirens wailed during the alert
practices should be encouraged to continue to discuss the
more mundane memories of their meaningful past, and spend
less time in consternation over what other individuals
choose to discuss.

If you don't have anything nice to say......

Thank you

Dennis Johnson ('62WB)

ps: I also wish to extend a Happy Birthday to Mr James
Heidlebaugh ('65) - an old friend and all-around swell 
feller. We shared an awful lot of KFC and Schmidt together
