Hi PSB,
Hope you had a great day! All days are great at our age! As Carl Reiner says, he reads the obits first thing and if he's not in there , he eats breakfast! I see I had sent you the old pics from Blackhawk days. They are not very high resolution on this website.
If you would like the higher resolution files, send me an email at cdonpaul@aol.com and I will send them and some others that will give you a smile. Stay well and have fun! C Don
Pic below is my son-in-law, daughter, grandson and wife. Retirement is super! Get to see Jim and Sue Keith almost every year when they come to Michigan.

Hi Jack,
Hope you have a great day and gets lots of hugs from the grandkids.
I can imagine you are one of their favorite, fun people!
Pat and I just had one daughter and she just has one son, but they live only 15 minutes away so we have the pleasure and fun of frequent contact. Ryan is 7 and will turn 8 on 8/30/17. He loves LEGOS and Star Wars.
We go UP NORTH to our condo on Lake Michigan near Glen Arbor and Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore.
So beautiful, diverse and enjoyable. Here is a cool U-Tube for your HBD!

The guy flying the 3 kites is in his 80s and he's from Canada.

He comes to the Washington State International Kite Festival every year.
His skin is like leather as he normally flies with his shirt off.
He is deaf, so when he flies, we hold our hands up and wave them for applause.
He flies 2 with his hands and the 3rd one is attached to his waist.

You must watch to the end to see the amazing landing of that last kite. And make sure your volume is turned up because the music is wonderful and totally reflects the soaring of the kites.

Hi Dave - Hope you had a great HBD today. Yes, I agree, retirement is wonderful. Just one grandson, but he is only 15 minutes away, so we enjoy him often. I serve on a community theater Board in Chelsea, MI and enjoy doing shows and taking trips. Currently working on an addition to our barn so our '57 Bel Air has a new home once she has to move out of my sister-in-law's barn. As for the Wranglers, believe it or not, I still have my sweatshirt! Needless to say, it has shrunk radically over the years! Visited Jim Keith and his wife Sue in Port Charlotte, FL after a Disney Cruise at Christmas. They come to northern Michigan every summer as well.

Hi Patsy,
HBD! I just sent a note to Jean Ann Jenkins on her birthday. I will attach the same photo I sent to her. Should make you smile and say OMG! We had some good times back in the day! Best wishes for the day and year ahead! C Don Paulsell cdonpaul@aol.com

HBD To the cutest girl at Dodds! Hope you are having a great day and year. It has been so nice to see you at the reunions. Still recall such fun parties we had on Saturday nights in your basement. Childhood memories are so indelible! All best wishes to you and yours. Have fun!

Hi Sharon,
Hope this note finds you well, happy, and enjoying a nice retirement.
I retired in 2010 after a 40 year career at the EPA National Vehicle Emissions Lab in Ann Arbor.
We enjoy time with our 7 year old grandson, who lives just 15 minutes away. Went on a Disney Cruise with them at Christmas and it was so fun!
Visited with Jim and Sue Keith at Port Charlotte, FL and also had a lot of fun.

Pat and I have a 1957 Chevy Bel Air that we enjoy getting out when weather permits.
And speaking of crazy weather, Chelsea, MI will be 60 deg this weekend!
Hope you have a super year. I appreciate all you have done to keep our SHS class in touch.

HBD Nikki (a great gramma! - wow!) Hope you had a fun TG with all the family. A friend of mine had 24 for dinner. We just had five! Best wishes for the coming holidays.

HBD Sandy! I see we both have grandkids about the same age. Ryan Dec, our only one, turned 7 on 8/30/16 and is missing his second tooth. We are spending the week at our vacation home in Glen Arbor, MI by Sleeping Bear Bay. He had a Scooby-Doo theme party and then we went to Avalanche Bay water park in Boyne City for some thrilling rides down some screaming tubes and a calmer lazy river. Hope your day was spectacular too!

Any grads from Dodds-Blackhawk in 1957? This pic will take you back! Henry O. Brown's class

Hi Pat,
HBD 2U Younger Girl! I hope we will eventually get together in Glen Arbor in 2015. Pat and I go up the week before TG.
