The shad flies, camping at Lake Nipissing.              Hello, my name is Mike Hulley, I lived on base from 1965 to 69, grades 4       through 7 and I do remember Mr. McLeod for Grade 7. Great teacher. I believe       his shiny new Mercury Cougar impressed me most. At any rate, I'm trying to       connect with a couple of        classmates at the time: Ricky Authors and Michael Renault. I know its a bit       of a long shot, but any ideas? Any help is much appreciated (hu       leyholdings@earthlink.net).       Cheers,       Mike              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
