- You are right about the T-bird. My dad had that car up until a few years ago. He still has a 1959 pink Edsel.

- Hey Ms. Les! You haven't changed at all and your grandson is SOOO CUTE! It seems like life is treating you well. I lived in Asia but never made the European circuit. I hope to take my daughter Paris to Paris someday. Girl, your memory is uncanny from back-in-the-day! I think half my stories were BS-I was sooooo lame back then :) Will you be at the reunion? I am gonna try my best to be there...keep in touch!

Oh, the hours of Paul Harvey's new en route to school!
Good memories.
Plus those at 2nd Presbyterian, too.

Keith Cullen said… - Yes, my oldest son, Jon, is getting married on October 4th! However, since I don't live in B'ham, I don't get the paper. So, I haven't seen it yet. I just heard last night that the announcement was in there! Thanks for noticing!

Charles Shaffer (TUNA) said… - Hello there ... Yes I have risen from the deep woods. Last time I say you was at the Palisades gas station before I moved to Tennessee .... we are always drawn home. Luckily, I live just a couple of hrs. from home. We need to all gather for Homecoming ... heard a rumor of a band reunion, did you????
It was to be a fundraiser for the bands trip to the Rose Bowl.
Hope you have a good holiday Charlie

Chris Lott said… - I remember Keith Cullen probably saved my limb on that Knoxville trip - I wanted to grab ahold of the moving trolley to save the fare, and he stopped me. Otherwise you'd be calling me "one-armed Chris". I remember being in that crowded hotel room, but I was only watching because of the excellent acting and camera work.

Scott Cullen (BooBoo) said… - Steve suggested you might be able to connect with a number of folks. (Whitfields, Herron) Leslie's brother Danny was in the band then. Was Frances Bodden related to Kristie? I have missed out on DCI stuff for a while, but would love to see a competition.

- Hey Leslie,
I was hoping we'd find you. I am still trying to convince Steve Langston to join in the fun here. He has connections with his sister Kathy, Charlie & Allison Shaffer, and Bruce Haden still. Congrats on the grandbaby.

- What's your fondest memory of the band?
- Gosh, there are so many! One of the funniest, though, was one of the guys sleeping in the overhead luggage rack on one of the buses (remember when we used to have folks doing that on the long trips?) While he started to climb down, the driver hit the brakes hard, sending him sailing up the bus and landing in a girl's lap. His response to the shocked girl - flinging his arms around her, he exclaimed "I just couldn't stay away from you any longer!"
