I was down in Madison Indiana over the weekend camping and fooling around and this morning we went into a restaurant, ordered and to kill time took my grandson outside and there was a fellow sitting at an outside table reading a newspaper and I asked him where he got it.... as the fellow started telling me I realized he looked familiar and after a minute more I recognized his voice and him.

He was a fellow I used to hang around a fairly good amount of time in 1966/67 my senior year of high school. I had literally not seen him in 40 years or so. Astonishingly he looks about the same except for gray hair and wrinkles. He is a slender lean fellow and must be nearly the same weight he was in high school.

I invited him in to sit with us and we talked.

We went to high school together at Greencastle high school (population 8,000). After hs we went our separate ways and lived different places. I live now in Lafayette Indiana (35 years) he lives in Madison (20 years).

It was a real hoot. I think its probably the most startling thing that has ever happened to me along these lines...to see someone after so long and they actually look pretty much the same.

(He did not say that I look the same......I am at least 50# heavier now!)
