Name: RaiderKARL'72@theCOLISEUM Website: Inspirational Poetry Contest Referred by: Just Surfed On In From: the Shadow of the Coliseum Time: 1999-12-23 10:07:51 Comments: The autumn wind is a Pirate, blustering in from the sea. With a blistering song he sweeps along swaggering voiceferously. His face is weather beaten. He wears a hooded sash. With a silver hat about his head and a bristley black mustache. He growls as he storms the country, a villian big and bold! And the trees all shake and quiver and quake, as he robs them of their gold. The Autumn wind is a RAIDER, pillaging just for fun. He'll knock you round and upside down, and laugh when he's conquered and won ! |

I have never in my 34 years of life heard anyone say Christmas was nothing to Celebrate. Cabal .... I was totally bumb founded by your comment about Christmas and also about " Our Savior " Christmas is not celebrated because of death but because of BIRTH. The Christmas Season brings out the best in people, it is atleast one time of the year when most people give of themselves for the benefit of others.... You have the right to believe the way you wish, I just think it is sad that you choose to remove the thought of Christ from Christmas and celebrate yourself and others... Have a Very Merry Christmas Everyone and A Safe and Happy New Year !!! |

Name: Cathy (Robinson) Yax '75 Website: Referred by: Just Surfed On In From: Sarasota, FL Time: 1999-12-23 07:02:40 Comments: The wise men following the STAR seen in the eastern sky came to the place of humble birth and heard a baby's cry. There was a straw-filled manger bed, unseemly for a KING receiving precious, royal gifts the Magi came to bring. Who would have thought that MARY's BABE had come to save all men, to pay a debt that we might have the gift of life in heav'n? Destined to make a sacrifice--to die that we might live--He gave us the most PRECIOUS GIFT that anyone could give. There never was such singing, or a star that shone as bright as when OUR SAVIOUR came to earth on that first CHRISTMAS night. May your Christmas be a beautiful celebration of the hope Jesus brought into the world... a wonderful reminder that His light still shines bright in the lives of all who believe.. Blessings to You at Christmas. MERRY CHRISTMAS ALL YOU WOLVES AND WOLFETTES! |

Name: Petra80 Website: Just My Perspective Referred by: Just Surfed On In From: I'm not sure anymore, but I know where I'm at :o) Time: 1999-12-23 06:24:45 Comments: It's the Holidays and I have but one gift to give.... Words. In this, the sharing season, I would like to give you these.... "Do Unto Others As You Would Have Others Do Unto You." This one little sentence is so very powerful and it is a wonderful source of inspiration. Some version of what we know as the "Golden Rule" exists in nearly every religion and is considered the best guideline for human behavior there could ever be. If everyone would learn to practice it in their daily lives and would treat others the same way they would want to be treated themselves, hatred would be abolished, there would be no more wars, crime, prejudices or hunger, and the world would become a much better place to be. There are so many that don't realize that the value of our lives is best measured not by the worldly possessions we've acquired, but rather by the wisdom we share, the hope we inspire, the tears we wipe, and the hearts we touch. The happiness and lasting contentment we get in our lives are not to be found in what "we have," but rather in what "we are." Everything we do affects not only our own life, but it touches others, too. There is much pleasure to be found in the power of kindness. It is one of the most difficult things to give away but it is almost always returned to us. When we bring sunshine into the lives of others, we're warmed by it ourselves. When we spill a little happiness, it splashes on us. It makes us feel good inside because showing kindness to others is what will bring enjoyment and happiness back to us. We can all help to promote the Golden Rule in many different ways. The best place to start is by being an example through applying unselfish love in our own lives. Kindness does not need to cost money. It can be spontaneous and in fact, can be random. Our lives are fed by kind words and gracious behavior. We are nourished when we make the lives of others more enjoyable by something as simple as a smile and a wave, a helpful gesture, an offer of assistance, offering a "thank you" or an "excuse me," or other such simple courtesies. If every day, we take some time to do even little things, then each new day can be the very best we'll ever live. May all the "Kindness" and "Joy" that you so unselfishly give away to others come back to you a "Hundred-Fold" someday! Please let us remember what Christmas is really about. Happy Holidays everyone… Peace out all! Petra :o) |

Stay away from major cities and have fun underground. As for Christmas, if you believe in that kind of thing...please stop because nobody really knows when Christ died and it would be a lot nicer if you celebrated yourselves, families and friends without the need for religious excuse. I wish you all love, especially the 95ers. Kim, Ramona, John, John, Steve, Najeeb, Brian, hell, all of the rest as there are many that I remember but am too lazy to write their names. |

And leave that Captain Morgans alone Wolfette ... youre much too pretty and smart to be playing with that kind of fire. Sorry I was so mean to you both formerly. Its just that ... well ... I was born mean. Ask the Navy. Ask the Marine Corps too. On a separate note ... I hope everyone heard that Navy beat Army a couple of weeks ago. And Rodger Staubach was at the game and he said that in all his professional and academy football career, the only time in his life he was truly afraid was during the Army Navy game. I learned long ago that fear is good for you ... you play better when you have fear ... and fear helps you feel that youre truly alive. Best wishes, Wolf and Wolfette, and thanks to you both for all that you have done for Wurzburg High School and for us who went there. ||* Anchors aweigh *|| Im off to San Diego to attend the Raiders vs Chargers game there, and to support the Raiders. I have been a Raider since January 14, 1968. I have been a Wurzburg Wolf since September 2, 1969. I am forever both. |

Name: Wolf Website: Referred by: Just Surfed On In From: Time: 1999-12-21 09:40:44 Comments: Dear Santa, It's been a while since I've written you and asked for anything. I appreciate what you've given me in the past. I've been a very content Wolf. I do have a Christmas wish this year though. I'd like to ask you for a "special" gift that may take a while for you to get to me. That's okay as I can wait for this gift. If you can help me, I'd like to make you a promise in return. If you can give me this "special" gift, I will promise to take care of that gift. I will promise to hold that gift close to my heart always. I will promise to cherish every minute I am able to spend with that "special" gift. I will show that gift all of the love that I am capable of giving. I know this is a big Christmas wish but that's all I want for this and all future Christmas's. I guess I'm just combining all of my future Christmas wishes into one sort of major "special" gift! Thank you, Santa, for doing what you can and for the love you've shown me throughout my life. I'd like to pass on some of my love in return. Wolf ;) |

Name: Doug Darrell Website: Referred by: From a Friend From: Washington D.C. Time: 1999-12-19 19:19:28 Comments: hello everybody out there. I am glad to find a way to get into contact with everyone I know and those I don't know. Yes, I have been going through a rough year so far. It has been really hectic for me. About a year ago I was involved in a near fatal car accident. They gave about 24 hours to live and I am lucky to be alive at this time. My lung was puntured, my left arm will not hang straight and I cant lift my arms over my shoulders, my brain looks like a squished raisen, but I am still doing well. I thank god that I am alive. I would love to hear from anyone who remembers me or just wants to speak with me. I can be reached via email at dougdarrell@hotmail.com. |

Name: Petra80 Website: Referred by: Just Surfed On In From: Time: 1999-12-17 17:02:54 Comments: I got this and just felt a need to share it: STRUGGLES; A man found a cocoon of a butterfly. One day a small opening appeared and he sat and watched the butterfly for several hours as it struggled to force its body through that little hole. Then it seemed to stop making progress. It appeared as if it had gotten as far as it could and it could go no further. The man decided to help the butterfly, so he took a pair of scissors and snipped off the remaining bit of the cocoon. The butterfly then emerged easily, but it had a swollen body and small, shriveled wings. The man continued to watch the butterfly because he expected that, at any moment, the wings would enlarge and expand to be able to support the body, which would contract in time. Neither happened! In fact, the butterfly spent the rest of its life crawling around with a swollen body and shriveled wings. It never was able to fly. What the man in his kindness and haste did not understand was that the restricting cocoon and the struggle required for the butterfly to get through the tiny opening were God's way of forcing fluid from the body of the butterfly into its wings, so that it would be ready for flight once it achieved its freedom from the cocoon. Sometimes struggles are exactly what we need in our life. If God allowed us to go through our life without any obstacles, it would cripple us. We would not be as strong as what we could have been. And we could never fly. |

I agree with Petra regarding people hiding behind some clever name (that includes you too, John Gruden!). True Wolves don't need to lurk in the shadows. Sometimes the generation gap will confuse the shallow but that's no reason to get parental. As far as the ladies, I wish I was as clever and spontaneous as they are (I sure do think I am after a few biers!) There; I finally had a clear thought. Happy Holidays everybody! Hope to see all of you in W2K....Vegas style! |

He stated that he's thought about attending the reunion, but doesn't know how to fit it into his "busy" schedule! He goes on to state "If you send me some info on it anyway, I probably won't be able to resist attending...so don't do that...HA!" I think we should all, as a collective force, email Rolf and encourage him to attend! If you'd like to help get Rolf to the reunion, please send him an email at rolf@bmaworld.com Let's show Rolf that the Wolf Pack won't be complete without him!!! Also, I added something new to the web site today. If you'd like, you can add a short biography by clicking on the "Add Bio" button and you can view the bio's submitted by clicking on the "View Bio's" button. I'm sure we'll get some interesting entries, knowing this crowd!!! Whatever your story may be, feel free to leave it!!! I'll catch some of you Sunday night at 8pm EST in the Chat Room! Happy Holidays! |

Found my old yearbook the other day and started wondering, "where are they now?" A short electronic journey led me here. So many memories to attach to the list of names. Plan to get hold of you all. If you attended Wurzburg when I did, 1981-1985, I'd love to hear from you. Saw an ad to have class rings fixed up. Reminded me of Steve McGhee sticking his in a half eaten MARS bar, and then forgetting it in the PX Snack Shop. Hope everyone is well and look forward to catching up on old times. Eric |

Has anyone heard from Kris Kunkle or Patti Wilhite. Former Schweinfurt compadres. How about ol Carlton Forbes or Rich Corona. By the way what is the deal with the Chat room on Sundays? What is the general topics of discussion? Anyone on my era been back to the school over the last few years? Would like to know if all still seems the same after 20 plus years.

Nice job there. Old Gray Wolf, if you knew this cast of characters like I know this cast of characters, you would laugh, not cry wolf. By the way, Websters Dictionary of the American Language has only been around since the 18th Century. Noah Webster was just putting together a survey of contemporary language usage of what had originally been British speech but which had evolved into North American colloquialisms, which we in the U.S.A. now call "English," even though its NOT ENGLISH. [LARRY TAUBE ESQ CORRECT ME IF IM WRONG ON THAT SIL VOUS PLAIT.] Brian, we're having lots of fun and covering lots of ground in the chat room. Like Bob said, Sunday nights around about dinner time, depending on whether you live on the L-East Coast or the B-west Coast (the w is silent). Herman Lewis '80, why worry about having a clear thought to add to the guest book? That hasnt stopped anyone else! Just ask anyone. And on that note, Wolfette, dear sweet thing, see what I was trying to tell you about howling in the night under the full moon? The Other Wolves can hear too. And any good wolf can sniff you out, especially with that expensive perfume youre wearing ! You have beautiful eyes Wolfette. And a lovely smile. And a cute nose. Und a sveet cherman akzent a little bit jah. On a separate note, I have been told by more than one person to leave my Oakland RAIDERS leather jacket at home, and instead to be true to my school and wear my Wurzburg High School letter jacket instead, especially on Purple Pride Day. OK OK. I get it. Now where did I put that phone number to Balfour again? See you all in July. Its not that far away anymore. |

I'm not knocking our grayer wolves out there, I have much respect for those that came before, even if some of them are Raiders fans.

Please check out this link everyone, and support this just a little bit. This spring my husband's battalion will go to Kuwait for 4 months. We are working very hard to prepare families here at Ft. Hood for a lengthy deployment. Right now our battalion is 60% married with children, 40% single soldier. We don't get to use what used to be called "field mail" where we send care packages on a military aircraft that we didn't have to pay postage for. Now in order to get mail to our loved ones, it's good ole United States Postal system. these soldiers will all have the famous APO address. Anyway, adopting a platoon, or soldier, for any deployment is greatly appreciated, you have no idea what it does for morale. The temperatures during their deployment will be in 130's to 140's. They are not living in fixed facilities. They are living in tents where any air conditioning takes the temperature down to a whopping 115-120 degrees. The will have access to a standard gut truck, or PX on wheels that will supply only bare essentials, personal hygiene items, etc. Chocolate will melt within seconds. They cannot drink the water, it causes dysentary. My husband was there for a week in Oct, about 6 of the 10 who accompanied him made the mistake of brushing their teeth with the water, and they were sick for 3 days. Everything must be bottled water. They fill water buffaloes with ice, and by the time they shower, that is almost boiling water due to the heat. They will get one hot meal a day provided by a Kuwait contractor, needless to say it won't be good home cookin, the other two meals are MRE, or meals ready to eat, equivalent to to C-rations only worse. The wind turns over Apache helicopters, it so strong. There is sand everywhere, in everything they eat, wear, etc. The soldiers will get 10 minutes a week to access their e-mail account. There will be approxmately 10 computers for over 1000 soldiers to share for 4 months. They married soldiers will have access to video teleconferencing, because of a link that will be established from Kuwait to home station, but single soldiers whose loved ones can't make it to Ft. Hood to schedule a conference won't have the same capability. With all that said, as miserable as it sounds, you've never seen a more excited group of young men ready to go live in these conditions. They know that this is an important mission, and the conditions don't outweigh the significance of the mission. Please support adopt a platoon, and if you want to support the 1/9 CAV task force as they prepare to deploy, contact me. We will be planning a major bash for their departure and return. Donations would be greatly appreciated. Thanks for reading this. |

If you want to pick crabs come on down to the southeastern corner of the state where I live and we'll hook you up. My brother-in-law owns a seafood restaurant/neighborhood watering hole place where crabs RULE! Norfolk and Virginia Beach are home to the world famous Chesapeake Bay blue crabs and we eat 'em 'til we can't stand it or until we start walking sideways whichever comes first. Plus, our winters are pretty mild. It was in the high 70s here this weekend. Couldn't get myself in the mood to decorate for Christmas so I mowed the yard. I'll pose a question now: How are YA'LL spending New Year's Eve? |

I am planning on going to Germany in the Spring. The last time I went (Jan-Feb 99), I stopped at the gate at Leighton Barracks and asked the guard if I could come in for a while and he let me. I went to the high school and they were very nice and let me wander around because there were no classes going on. I also went into my old building and rode around a lot. What an emotional roller coaster. Hi to my brother Mike and all the late 60's crew. |

It is linked to the "Adopt-a-Platoon" web site. As military brats, you are very aware that there are troops deployed all over the world right now. This is a way for us to recognize those soldiers and their dedication by becoming a pen-pal, or "adopting" a soldier! Who knows, we may even find a lost wolf out there in the process!!! Drop by the site and check it out. Thanks to Angie for the suggestion. Now, on to the reunion...if you are thinking of attending, please make your room reservations as soon as possible. It doesn't cost you anything at this time, you just have to give them a credit card number to hold the room. Make sure you tell them you're with the Wurzburg group. I have to make an adjustment to the room block in March of 2000 and it would be best if most of the room reservations have been taken care of. Reunion registration fees are trickling in and the sooner the better to reserve your spot. If you would like to make a partial payment and make payment in full by July 7th, that's fine. (No payments at the door.) It's first come, first served and we may reach the maximum of 800 attendees, so don't miss out! Hope you're all well and we'll see you soon! |

If you're worried that it didn't, hit your "back" button and "copy" your text. Then go to "View current book" refresh the page and I guarantee that 9 times out of 10 your message will have posted. If not, then you can go back in to signing the book and "paste" your text from before.

Knocking on the door he is greeted by an ancient Chinese man with a beard. "I'm lost," said the man. "Can you put me up for the night?" "Certainly," the Chinese man said, "but one condition. If you somuch as lay a finger on my daughter I will inflict upon you the three worst Chinese tortures known to man." "OK," said the man, thinking that the daughter must be pretty old he entered the house. Over dinner the daughter came down the stairs. She was young, beautiful and had a fantastic body. She was obviously attracted to the young man as she couldn't keep her eyes off him during the meal. Remembering the old man's warning he ignored her and went up to bed alone. During the night he could bear it no longer and sneaked into her room for a night of passion. He was careful to keep everything quiet so the old man wouldn't hear. And near dawn, he crept back to his room, exhausted but happy. He woke to feel a pressure on his chest. Opening his eyes he found a large rock on his chest with a note on it that read, "Chinese Torture 1: Large rock on chest." "Well, that's pretty mild," he thought. "If that's the best the old man can do then I don't have much to worry about." He lifted boulder off his chest, walked over to the window and threw it out. As he did, he noticed another note on it that read, "Chinese Torture2: Rock tied to left testicle." In a panic he glanced down and saw the rope was already getting close to becoming taut. Figuring that a few broken bones was better than castration, he jumped out of the window after the boulder. As he plummeted towards the ground he saw a large sign on the ground that read, "Chinese Torture 3: Right testicle tied to bed |

It seems to me that it should come as no surprise to anyone who has read history in high school and/or college that as our Nation becomes more and more huge and steps into the place of the old empires like the British Empire and French Empire and Roman Empire, it should be no surprise that due to the growth and populations that our Nation is starting to crumble at the seams here and there. Because that always happened in the past throughout history. Schools, inner cities, streets, highways, hospitals, churches ... all having major problems. Sure, we can all get guns and fight each other off and start a huge civil war if that makes us feel safe. More likely, it will take great people like Petra and Bibi and Bob to mobilize voting groups and use the political power to bring about solutions. I believe in gun rights, sure, but I dont believe guns will ever solve anything. Only people can do that. By the way, it is no small coincidence that Petra Bibi and Bob sort of rhymes with Wolfette Wolfie and WOLF HOOOOWLLL!!! [no i didnt say that!] |

Its just that the entire RaiderNation is in morning now over the death of our 1999 football season. Our kicker missed another critical field goal in our game against K.C. and so we lost another must-win game, and now our football season is over with 5 more games still to go! Woe woe woe ! Raiderfans take their Raiders very seriously. Maybe too seriously. I know some of you with children in the hospital are thinking, who cares about football? Well, I guess its just a Raider thing. Fortunately the Pittsburg Steelers are faring even worse than the Raiders. And for you Dallas fans, the Cowboys are still alive in the playoff race so Im happy for you. Forgetting football for a minute, I hope everyones kids here that are sick get well. There sure seem to be lots of diseases in the world now that we have 6 billion people. Air travel and packed schools probably makes this worse. I had pneumonia in Wurzburg when it was going around the school my sophomore year. It was no fun to have it. But I was lucky cause it went away after 2 weeks and for most of the other kids it was gone in about 3 weeks. Thats the sickest I ever was in my life til I later foolishly played in a tennis tournament with the flu ... but that latter illness didnt last as long as the pneumonia did, even though it knocked me out and I actually feinted twice and couldnt get back up for a long long time. Health is something we all seem to take for granted til its gone one day. I had a meeting with my boss and our European director today here in RaiderLand and they want to send me to Europe on a business trip. I shudder at the though because I always get really sick when I travel, both coming and going ... the double whammy. Since leaving Wurzburg on graduation day, I have been back to London about a half dozen times, Paris twice, Geneva, Tel Aviv, and Jerusalem ... wherever high technology grows. And I hate travelling because I hate the splitting headaches from jetlag and being sick for a week afterwards. Bye now. See you later. |

Name: Petra '80 Website: Gun ownership Referred by: Just Surfed On In From: The target range or off in the woods with my Dad Time: 1999-12-01 06:04:07 Comments: I'm a supporter of the right to bear arms. I was brought up with guns and I know how to handle them. My Dad spent plenty of time with me on the caring of guns, shooting them safely and never, ever, ever taking one for granted. I went to the safety classes provided by the military and have had a lisence to carry one ever since. I've seen what guns can do. Having been brought up mostly in Germany (15 of my first 18 years) I was exposed to alcohol from the time I was born, as well. I was never crazy with either one of these items. I have to wonder if the U.S. wouldn't make such an issue over these things, would it change the "novelty" of them to our children? What I'm trying to say is this.... it just seems that early exposure, with an adult involved, educating our kids of the consequences, of ANY of their actions, would make all the difference in the world. The Government seems to dip their hand into too many things, making them almost "enticing". Kids are a curious bunch and if they don't have someone to talk with or learn from, then they go by the wayside, and their inquisitive minds take over. Alot of the shootings that are going on are being committed by teens from middle class on up. Why is this? Because Mom and Dad are more concerned with a career and making the money to send these kids to college. They are forgetting that our youth needs to be raised first, or they won't live to go to college. |

Name: Lisa '94 Website: Pantyhose is a down payment Referred by: Just Surfed On In From: Time: 1999-11-30 19:45:48 Comments: Cindy and Petra- not to mix religion and politics...but Westworth- the school the Granddaughter attended...after some research..was the sight of the recent Church Shootings in the suburb of Ft Worth. Not too far after that, the BX was required to carry school uniforms FOR THE PUBLIC SCHOOLS. They fear that with all the school shootings occuring- perhaps making all their students look the same could be another form of a safety net. Instead of assigning teachers and school administrators to be Public Watchdogs- they just make everyone look alike.(Since the parents don't seem to be tending their rose gardens for thorns..) No Jewelry or any other accesories to set anyone apart. While that DOES have it's own Social as well as Fashion Arguments..I stumbled upon something else of interest. George W Bush...Governor of our Fine State (And I do support him...)- expressed extreme remorse of the shootings at Westworth. He publically stated he couldn't BELIEVE that something like this could happen in the state of Texas. After some investigation- we found out that the shooter purchased his weapon at a huge fair called Trader's Village (literally two minutes from my house) the SAME DAY as the shooting. George W actually signed off on a Bill LEGALIZING the possession of a loaded weapon INSIDE a Religious Building UNLESS there was a "Posted Note stating otherwise." This is also the same man that has been a vocal opponent of the three day waiting period to acquire a weapon.(Big Texas thing - you have to have a Truck, a Dog, a Girl with Big Hair, and a gun) While trying to refrain from rolling my eyes at how ludicrous the church-gun bill was, I don't think a sign could have deterred the shooter. It's not like he's going to say- "OH DEAR, THERE'S A SIGN SAYING I CAN'T BRING THIS IN HERE." But, a three day waiting period might have prevented the deaths- as well as pacified the minds. While I agree this isn't an issue about what students wear to school making a difference at random shootings, the city of Ft Worth looked at it that way. I agree with you that our state and government leaders need to take ownership and accountability for their actions. See ya in Vegas!! |

Of course for me, with my "Billy-Bad-Ass" attitude back then, it didn't really matter much. As it turns out, it wasn't so much my attitude as it was my personality that didn't care who's kid you were. If I liked you, I liked you, but not because of where you came from. |

I was shocked as well over the issue of purchasing the cross necklace. " What harm is it going to cause " NONE When we were still in school I don't believe it was ever a big issue if it was at all. Today I listen to parents and even some high school age kids discuss how the " Christians " will sit on one side of the class and the "Satanist" will sit on the other. What has happend to our society? Maybe we need moms to stay home... As long as there is a Dad at home to bring home the bacon. But that is a touchy subject with many people so I don't dare go there. I look forward to meeting you in Vegas as well as all the others who comments I have had the privlege of reading........ hahaha " most of the time " |

I guess if you're adamant about religion in schools then you have the option of the various denomination parochial schools. If you can afford that. My kids go to "no tolerance schools" as well, and that's fine. I was referring to "government" in general, whether it be state or federal. We are all under the same constitution though, right? I, myself, send my kids to religious education classes provided by my church. I was just amazed at the comment made by Lisa about the purchase of the cross necklace. We can't be blind to the fact that there are school districts out there that go above and beyond..... if you know what I mean. And I believe that quelching our religious beliefs to that extent is asking for trouble. |

Name: Cindy 84' Website: Referred by: Just Surfed On In From: Time: 1999-11-29 17:05:15 Comments: My children used to be in the Keller School District which is in Tarrant Co. a suburb of Ft. Worth. What they had was called a Zero Tollerance Policy to help eliminate problems in the schools. I have to admitt I thought it was somewhat restricting at first not to mention dictating but I saw the difference it made over all in the school and now I approve of it. Unless things have changed considerably never did they not allow a child of young adult to wear jewelry that was in good taste of crosses to school. This policy was basicly to not allow dress of violance, drugs, sex and so forth. My children wore "CTR" and other children wore other things that related to their religion, there never was a problem. We now live in Missouri and I find basicly the same rules where zero tolerance is concerned and the issue is all about violance and volgarity school kids of all ages wear what ever is clean and descent and Items showing a love for God is very descent and it is allowed atleast it is here. It is not our Government that dictates over our schools is is the state I believe and from there I believe the indiviual school districts take over in each city. The only way to make a difference is to get involved and take a stand. I agree that in early government our so called Leaders did want to act in accordance with what God would want but I dont believe that all of our Leaders today are all bad. I believe that even today we are still a nation under God with Liberty and Justice for All." Although sometimes it does seem to go in the opposite direction" |

Referred by: Just Surfed On In From: The very top of a SoapBox Time: 1999-11-29 15:58:04 Comments: To Lisa '94 (and everyone else out there)..... and we have the nerve to wonder why the world, not to mention this country specifically, is going to hell in a handbasket!!!! Did you all know that most of the things in our constitution were written due to the religious beliefs at the time? People were very spiritual at that time and were actually driven by the Bible. Therefore our forefathers based the majority of the constitution on what the Good Book said was right. Gee, I guess THAT didn't work, huh? The whole seperation of church and state was that the government couldn't DICTATE our religious beliefs. Seems that that's what they've done though, doesn't it? |

And I had to speedread (right, like I ever took that course) because I'm at work. Which is the only time I get to read the website because I don't have a computer at home (yeah, yeah, I know, I know), and I've been so busy in my new job that all I ever do is work! Gross! Anyway, have had many laughs, thank you all who write in the Guestbook! Bibi, what class were you from? (Remember, I was speedreading so may have missed some of the details.) Larry, puhlease please please PLEASE don't stop writing to us all via the Guestbook!! Oh, and while reading about your journey in the bullet boat to the Bahamas (remember you told us about that boat when we met in SFO?), I was yet again green with envy (and swearing at you under my breath). Pure jealousy! Bob, WONDERFUL job on the Sellers gym memorial...looks great! And so does the Web site, by the way. I tried to call you...would you like me to send the passes to you via Goldstreak? (Sorry about this everyone, but Bob has quit emailing me so I have to tend to personal business publicly.) For those of you who remember my brother Mark, class of '79, please email him and nag him (and his wife Tina) into joining us at the reunion 2000, ok? His email address is tina@omnicast.net . Have a great week! Love, Mary class of '81 is # 1 P.S. Petra...see, a few of us do look at the Guestbook on the weekends. |

Referred by: Just Surfed On In From: Anchorage, AK Time: 1999-11-27 21:49:40 Comments: Fellow Wolves...I've spent the last week at home trying to get the database updated, I had about a 12" stack of email printouts that had accumulated over the last few years. I'd like to pass on a tip...I got out my yearbooks, signed on to www.switchboard.com, started flipping through the yearbooks, and then did an internet search for names in the yearbooks. I've already sent out about 40 postcards in search of alumni. If you'd like to help in the search, you can do the same! A postcard only costs 20 cents to mail, you may want to purchase a few pre-stamped postcards from the post office. Sign on to switchboard.com or 411.com, start flipping through those yearbooks and find those old friends. This is very helpful in finding the guys but, unfortunately, not the WAHS women! It's the "name" thing! Hope you all had a nice Thanksgiving and we'll see you soon! Larry, hope we see you very soon here in the guest book! Don't leave us!!! |

Name: Lance Roper 86 Website: Referred by: Just Surfed On In From: Columbia SC Time: 1999-11-27 00:22:49 Comments: I noticed that this past week our school dedicated the gym in honor of Coach Sellers. The plaque is respectfully elegant and although Coach Sellers was a humble man I'm confindent he would approve. To Bob and any others responsible for getting the plaque and adding the picture to this website so promptly I am sincerely grateful. Coach Sellers was like no other coach I ever had. I don't remember him yelling or forcing strict routines or even applying punishment exercises to us at practice. We just did what he told us. I remember him like another guy on the team who loved to be on the mat and was always 3 moves ahead of whoever he chose to demonstrate on. I remember no more physically demanding workout in my life than when he assigned us to RUN THE STAIRS 20 times. (Run up the main staircase at WAHS + back down + sprint to the other staircase + run up + and down + sprint back to the main stairs = 1). Under his non-confrontational leadership style I learned the realities of winner-take-all-competition. My nemisis for Varsity, Freddie Barbosa and I had several fierce wrestle-offs on Tuesdays and there were no "coaches favorites" on the mat. The man who won was the man who wrestled Varsity on Saturday (usually Freddie in '84). The Plaque says that Coach Sellers encouraged his athletes to strive for excellence. Thanks to him and the 1985 team I reaped the benefits of that encouragement and had my hand raised several times. John granted me my proudest moment by awarding me a medal as his most inspirational wrestler of the season. Coach, in every season since then you have been a greater inspiration to me. What a crown of strength and dignity you remain to your family; our school; and a wavering, apathetic 16 year old boy who, in the gym that now bears your name, found that dedication pays off. |

Name: larry taube Website: Referred by: Just Surfed On In From: mystical south florida Time: 1999-11-26 21:23:37 Comments: My Fellow wolves,..I am very tired now and may take a break from the guestbook for awhile but I will see you all in Vegas in Y2K. So I will leave this for you now..."The meaning of life?" you ask?... I am not sure I have made any progress on the question either. I have certainly devoted some energy in that direction. I look for meaning and purpose in the events that seem to carry me from one random event to another. I look at the many accidents in life and wonder if there is a plan. I look for some kind of beauty in all things. I look for it in the smiles of happy children at play on a sunny afternoon and beautiful women speaking softly under the pink sky of a setting sun. I look for it in the energy of waves pounding the shore beneath a sky filled with angry dark anvils of towering thunderheads. I look for it in the swaying palm fronds under a night dazzled brilliant with a new full yellow moon.....But it continues to pull away from me just beyond my reach. Yet this much I do know--I think we should come to a point that we feel truly alive. Many of us think we are but we are not. We are only sleepwalking in some suspended state waiting for something to happen that might cause us to awaken from a lifetime of slumber. Life is short and should be enjoyed. This life is not a way station to be endured until something better comes along. This may be it. Suffering and joy spring from the same mysterious source. I get up each day and look for the beauty in everything around us. I am closest to my God on a lazy afternoon having a nice pasta lunch outside on the patio at Bice with a tall blond woman with one arm gracefully folded across her chest and the other held up to the sky with a fine glass of wine that is both sweet and tart. And at night I climb into bed and pull the covers to my chin and try and hold that thought in the hopes it will carry over into my dreams.... |

I think, with all that's in the Bible and the way it is interpreted throughout all those religions, it basically comes down to this. Be happy and do unto others as you would have others do unto you. Or maybe it's Live Long and Prosper..... |

But in the meantime you might need some wings to stay above it as it freely comes out of you dearie. The meaning of life, you ask? Thats easy! Make memories, have a good time, feel good, dont hurt anyone, survive. If you want more, twelve major religious groups and within them hundreds of denominations have sprung up over the past 55 hundred years of recorded history who will promise to give you more. Of course they all collect at the door, so bring your piggy bank with you, because those kinds of mysteries arent cheap!! |

(I dedicated todays entry on my web page to you, by the way) That poem was written a few years ago, I believe somewhere around my realization that I was actually letting someone else's ideas of marital bliss impose on my personality. As you can see from the second half of the poem, I figured that out and made the suitable, if not politically correct, changes. Leaving the poem in here, somewhere around 2am I think, was a feeble attempt to compete against the, as I see it, Master. I will, therefore and heretofore, leave the prose to you. |

But I laid there awhile and the bastards just all ignored me. I was getting thirsty in the hot sun and there was some rock poking me in the butt so I decided to get up and have lunch.

This landed in my inbox today, and I thought I'd share:A little old lady goes into the store to do some shopping. She is bewildered over the large selection of toilet paper. "Pardon me, sir," she says to the store manager, "but can you explain the differences in all these toilet papers?" "Well," he replies pointing out one brand, "this is as soft as a baby's kiss. It's $1.50 per roll." He grabs another and says, "This is nice and soft, strong but gentle, and it's $1.00 a roll." Pointing to the bottom shelf he tells her, "We call hat our No Name brand, and it's 20 cents per roll." "Give me the No Name," she says. She comes back about a week later, seeks out the manager and says, "Hey! I've got a name for your No Name toilet paper. I call it John Wayne." Why?" he asks. "Because it's rough, it's tough and it don't take crap off anybody!" |

I could not come up with something worthy and affectionate that goes with "Bibi" but give me a little more time. My forays into poetry have not always brought me universal critical acclaim...."Jesus Larry! Geezus! Tigers? Tiger eating little animal at night! Christ I ask for a simple nature poem for a 12 year old and instead I get this dark demented tiger shit! Honestly I just don't know..." And I think about it and I know she is right. So I resolve to take some time and point my poetry car down the centerline of American motor metre thought. A guy in the office who makes lots of bucks has one of those Miami Vice cigarette boats that does a hundred something and we take a couple of days off and head to an island in the Bahamas none of you have ever heard of. I am smoking contraband cubans and drinking a pitcher of bahama mamas in the blazing sun pounding over the whitecaps for days. We finally arrive at some tiny place in the middle of the Atlantic and I waddle of the boat. There is a white wooden siding church and I can hear the lay minister giving the best Pentecostal Pitch I ever heard in this life. I am save and converted and reformed for over 5 minutes but fall off and head to the local watering hole and hotel next door for a stiff drink. There I meet a beautiful dark angel the locals refer, in hushed tones, as "Dat Witch Lady". She walks up to me and looks directly in my eyes and my heart stops beating and my lungs cannot suck any air. She speaks to me without opening her mouth or uttering a sound. She sends her thoughts into my thoughts and tells me we are born on the same day in the same hour and we are one and she can cure me with her thoughts alone. I think to myself I have had too much to drink...or not enough. I spend some time with her and decide "I am staying the #@&* right here and ya'll can all just go to hell!" My friend get tired of this bullshit after a couple of days and drags me back to the boat because after all I have to be in court in the morning. A couple of hours later we are in the middle of nowhere. Isis is to the east and bullshit is to the west. And it comes to me. I spot a little bird perched on driftwood a hundred miles from land and I get into gear..."Bless this little bird....so far from home...fly away this way and that....beware of the deep blue sea....your brother barracuda....brassy and blue...smiles below and waits for you....fly back home! A hundred miles from home...a thousand miles from your sisters....ten thousand miles from paradise....fly back home to the sweet brown earth..." And then I think I can hear it again_ Geezus! Little birds eaten by barrcudas! What is the problem....but I like it. |

Referred by: Just Surfed On In From: The Barbie Sleeping Bag Club Time: 1999-11-23 04:18:48 Comments: Never fear Bibi my dear, your fellow groupies are here. Our group has become quite close in the past few months and thought of no better way to spend in Vegas than all in 1 room together...the closeness...to have a PHD so close, and also our new "comer" Eric Lanam. Ooops,(hey Bibi, is that the correct spelling?) do not want to disclose what that PHD really stands for. I will guarantee you that in Vegas it will definitely not mean Phinally Done. Oh my gosh, was that another typo? Petra, you are always welcome in our group. We will reserve a space for your DaBomb Sleeping Bag! I am bringing my Poke my Man, I mean Pokemon bag. Sorry another typo. Hope I did not offend anyone. Peace out! |

At least sign the message yourself. If it's anonymous, then don't use someone else's identity! It's fairly simple. People are taking offense to their identity's being used to voice opinions which are not theirs. I can, will and have already corrected some postings to reflect the correct sender and will continue to do so if necessary.

Perhaps Raiders Fan can elaborate. I'm guessing it may have something to do with the misspelled word you used in entry #80, but those of us with even half a brain not only figured out what you meant, but are aware that typo's do exsist. (I'm a firm believer that there are little gremlins in here that change words after we proof-read our entries) At any rate, I may be wrong, it may have just been a "cute and funny" remark. Whatever the case may be, don't let it stop you from communicating with the rest of us. Peace out. |

The history behind that poem is that my 12 year old who attends the most expensive private school on the planet had to write a book report on his favorite poet. He tells the ex on the night before it is due. If he does not get it done he will be ejected from the comfort and society of the children of Donald Trump and Jimmy Buffett and end up in public school with kids that will cut him up on the first day. The ex is freaking out. She calls me and tells me to write some poetry the kid can comment on or she will go to court and get an order compelling noncustodial parent to complete child's homework or something like that. So I did and had a little fun with it to boot. I have scads of poetry rolling around in the top desk drawer here and I will see if next time I can whip out something fluffy and soft so we don't frighten the civilians...... |

The sun is setting on the silver sky.... Electricity flashes and shatters the air.... Tall dry grasses bend and crack in the wind.... And my heart beats with restlessness and fear... The night speads a dark blanket over us all.... My companions and brothers together in sleep... We call to each other in roll calls and the songs are measured... constant... slow... soft... The darkness is lit by a rising moon... the air is perfumed with jasmine and magnolias... bloom in light and darkness.... and excitment.... Small creatures scurry and scramble about.... they chatter and croon and cry out.... Mothers clutch their babies to their breast.... and brothers and sisters cling to each other.... The tiger is out... He spreads the low grasses... and crouches and prowls... and softly growls and crawls.... and the leap is aimed!.... The chase is on!.... the heart pounds heavy.... the breath is power.... and dark beauty.... hunted and hunter alone together... and in a terrible instant... it is ended.... and the music returns.... the rythym is restored.... my friends and I.... sleepy companions.... safe and dry.... warm and alive.... under a blanket of dreams.... and we sleep again..... |

While there was a time that I may have been able to keep up with four sexy, witty, creative, and energetic young ladies.... that time has PASSED. Without the aid of mind and body altering medications (i.e. Cognex, Viagra etc.) I can't hope to keep up with the likes of Bibi, Carmella, Neidi, and Lauren. Before joining this exclusive (and ridiculous) club, you would, however, need to swear loyalty to the great, powerful, and elusive Ronald MacDonald which requires reading the following oath while holding an unripe banana and wearing only a purple, sequenced thong: "I, Eric Lanam, do solemnly swear to uphold the high moral and ethical standards set before me by the Bored Alumni Lounge Lizard Society (hereafter referred to as BALLS). I will in no way subvert BALLS by attempting to inject "Class of 84" spirit into the banal, trivial, humorous, and ocassionally serious rantings of BALLS members. I will always strive, when confronted with a choice between "right" and "wrong", to wait at least 15 seconds, thereby giving off the appearance of thoughtfullness, before choosing "wrong". I will NEVER, EVER INHALE ........ when there are more direct methods of getting the drug to my brain (e.g. snorting, injecting, eating). Finally, and most importantly, I will do my best to make sure that I am at least partially clothed and minimally sober for the 2000 Vegas Reunion". If you can recite and abide by this oath (which is typically read aloud at your city's Chamber of Commerce or other public gathering place) then it is with open arms that I welcome you to BALLS. . . Disclaimer: this oath and these rules have not been officially approved by other BALLS charter members... in fact, BALLS currently exists in my mind only. This said, express written consent is required to reproduce any part of the BALLS oath. Thank you for listening... and yes, i will immediately go take my Haldol. |

Actually, Steve came to visit last week, and seemed to like the "local" girl scene (if you know what I mean!). Neidi, Bibi and Lauren promised to come by for Thanksgiving, but I think the whole eating an "unknown" object for Turkey day through them off.

Bear with me, I'm gettin' started on it. This should be a doozy. I might just give it to you a section at a time, k?

I do have a real tendency to just be all over the dance floor, spread my wings, so to speak. The only couples dance I've EVER wanted to learn is the Tango. And when I say "learn" I mean learn WELL. It is just awesome to watch 2 people Tango, when they know what they're doing. **Hey Larry, Karl, How did I get drawn into your discussions about acoustic guitars and pots to piss in?

It was obviously a republican who was editing the record. They have prolly (short for PROBABLY) edited Jerry Ford completely out of the republican party, because he doesnt look presidential anymore. Now, theyre dusting off and cleaning up Gov. George Bush Jr. for President! I wonder how they are going to explain that nude dancing by the governor at that bar? Its obvious theyre not even going to try to explain the coccaine usage. And these are the same spin meisters that were making a big deal about NOT INHALING! And think about the poor kids at Wurzburg High in our day [according to Petra and others] who could only afford cheap arabian hash back then ... they never even found out what Columbian Gold was, let alone Rio Grande Coccaine!!!

I was sitting here and asked myself, 'Self, why do we continue to use DST to make the night later in the summer and earlier in the winter?' And, since I didn't know, I looked it up on the net. Here's one of the sites I found: http://www.standardtime.com/ Karl, you may note that no mention was made of Gerald Ford. However, in '73, we apparently experimented with having DST throughout the year. Apparently, we had a rash of school bus accidents due to the morning darkness. We went back to the current system in '74, thus making it seem like it started then... Mac & Don's Rainbow Lounge groupies: It would seem that the absence of the class of '84 allowed the inherently evil (that's ee-ville, like the froo-it of the dev-eel) class of '85 (namely Dr. Steve and Lauren "Wink Wink" Howlett) corrupt the mind and soul of the pure as the wind-driven snow Carmella, and, presumably, Bibi and Neidi.

Mark Personeus, Class of '75, will be representing us, the former students and athletes of Coach Sellers, on Sunday. If you'd like to send any emails or faxes to Germany, you may email my dad at bob_manwaring@eu.odedodea.edu or fax at 011-49-931-707335. Please remember the time difference if you send a fax, as it will wake my parents up if it's too late! Please don't get me in trouble! It's 6 hours ahead of Eastern time and 9 hours ahead of Pacific time. You may view a picture of the plaque on the "Sellers Gym" page of the web site. I'm proud of how far we've come as an Alumni group and how we band together when we need to. Peace. |

Benton '80, please allow me to stipulate for the record: (1) daylight savings time was implemented by Pres. Gerald Ford in 1974 when you were 12 years old and in pigtails (taking toilot paper for granted) and I was in college (taking coeds for granted) as a response to the spiralling prices of oil in the wake of the 1973 arab oil embargo due to the outcome of the Yom Kippur War in the Middle East, in order to help save energy together with the now defunct 55 mph national speed limit -- he was hoping this would help him look presidential and get elected when his term expired [it didnt work -- typical republican]; (2)there are swing, salsa, hustle, ballroom, and country dance groups that give lessons on dancing; and yes, i do care if a girl or woman can properly follow a proper lead, so there is at least one person on this planet to make you feel self conscious about being a klutz on the dance floor. All the other things in your list I completely agree with! By the way, I have never heard of "There’s a Tear in my Beer," but then I do not listen to redneck noise (country & western). [did you get all that, Petra, sweetie?] Rock on!! |

When Tom and I were talking it just felt great to not have to explain to people(for the 10,000th time) why I was in Germany, that I wasnt German, that no, I didnt go to a German school, etc. We just had some laughs looking thru yearbooks. We also checked on some other people we know and found Jim Benefield. I am hoping that he will log on to this site soon! Bob Manwearing(Thanks!), Gil Bell, Larry Taube, Edna Webber, Jacquie Banks, Michelle Strickland, and others, thanks for topping off the 90's for me. I will start off the new decade off right by attending the Las Vegas reunion! I hope to see you there... |

Name: Petra '80 Website: :o) Referred by: Just Surfed On In From: Technically? Time: 1999-11-17 15:19:38 Comments: Thank you all for the nice compliments. I've gotten to really enjoy writing my thoughts in this guestbook, and as long as we don't fight, I think I've served my purpose. On that note.......Okay, why you will never find anybody who can give you a clear and compelling reason why we observe Daylight Savings Time (DST). Well, guess what, you’ve found someone. Perhaps I can shed some light (no pun intended) on this subject. I have decided that the following is a plausible reason for this phenom. How depressing is winter time to you? I know that when it’s dark, here, at 5:30 (and that’s on a good day) all I need is some country music (ugh) a beer and a razor blade and that’s all she wrote as far as I’m concerned. So my theory is, someone out there who likes his beer, can’t stand country music and owns an electric razor is actually doing us a favour. I wonder if, perhaps, the Stanford Research Center might do a study on how many rednecks we lose, during the winter season, due to DST. Think about it. Don’t the majority of rednecks listen to the twang of "There’s a tear in my beer…."? As well as swill the stuff like it was water (well, here in the States it practically is water, but that’s neither here nor there, since they never grew accustomed to "the real stuff" like we did")? And we all know they carry straight razors, ‘cause, darn it, there are times when they just can’t get the 12-gauge out of the truck fast enough. So certainly, if it isn’t the suicide rate that goes up, it’s gotta contribute to the domestic violence aspect. It all just makes perfect sense to me. It is simply a way for us to weed out some of the riffraff that does nothing more, really, than bring down the averages of the Stanford Achievement Test and is the major source of all those country ballads that we are subjected to in the first place. Of course none of this would happen if we didn’t push the clock forward in the spring, but you gotta take the good with the bad. Disclaimer: I apologize, in advance, if this offends anyone. (see #13 of the "16 things to remember" in G/B entry #40) It is, after all, just a humor column, lighten up!!!! |

Almost everything I ever learned about writing, or stating an opinion, I learned in his classroom. He had his own teaching method, that's for sure. I think he left WAHS under difficult circumstances, but he was one of the best teachers I had. It was what I learned and did in his class that got me through College English. I saved all my papers and used them again. They served me well. Only they weren't A's in college, they did pass though. I spent a lot of time studying the effects of alcohol on the brain in college, so there was no time to study. Mr. Shaff told it like he saw it, and didn't care what anyone else thought. He taught me that we are entitled to our own opinion, and had a right to express it. I learned more about life in his class, and am grateful for it. |

Name: Petra '80 Website: Referred by: Just Surfed On In From: Time: 1999-11-16 22:01:29 Comments: 16 THINGS TO REMEMBER: 1. You will never find anybody who can give you a clear and compelling reason why we observe Daylight Savings Time. 2. You should never say anything to a woman that even remotely suggests you think she's pregnant unless you can see an actual baby emerging from her at that moment. 3. The most powerful force in the universe is gossip. 4. The one thing that unites all human beings, regardless of age, gender, religion, economic status or ethnic background, is that, deep down inside, we ALL believe that we are above-average drivers. 5. There comes a time when you should stop expecting other people to make a big deal about your birthday. That time is age 11. 6. There is a very fine line between "hobby" and "mental illness." 7. People who want to share their religious views with you almost never want you to share yours with them. 8. If you had to identify, in one word, the reason why the human race has not achieved, and never will achieve, its full potential, that word would be "meetings." 9. The main accomplishment of almost all organized protests is to annoy people who are not in them. 10. If there really is a God who created the entire universe with all of its glories, and He decides to deliver a message to humanity, He WILL NOT use, as His messenger, a person on cable TV with a bad hairstyle. 11. You should not confuse your career with your life. 12. A person who is nice to you, but rude to the waiter, is not a nice person. 13. No matter what happens, somebody will find a way to take it too seriously. 14. When trouble arises and things look bad, there is always one individual who perceives a solution and is willing to take command. Very often, that individual is crazy. 15. Your friends love you, anyway. 16. Nobody cares if you can't dance well. Just get up and dance. |

Name: Petra '80 Website: Referred by: Just Surfed On In From: The defendants side of the courtroom Time: 1999-11-16 16:08:01 Comments: Okay....I'm in a really defensive mood, right now. I think there are a few myths about myself I must clear up. Angela, you wrote earlier on, that you were a "brain" and what position that put you in, in our school. Most people don't know that I, too was an "A" student. Hell, I even got an "A" in Shaff's class. I hung out with many people, sometimes sitting around on the benches in the entry hall with the "jocks", but mostly out in the smoking area with the "freaks". I admit to hanging around with those people because they were the "real" people in that school. They weren't pretentious, they didn't much care what people thought, they were very much down to earth, and damnit, we had alot of fun!!! I also admit that they did some serious drugs, none of which I ever touched. I smoked hash a few times during my stay there, but not nearly as often as one might think. One of the reasons I didn't like getting high was because it took over my brain and I have a real need to be in charge of my senses. I did drink, but never to the point where I didn't know what was going on, as opposed to most of my friends. I was then, as I am now, on a natural high. Life to me is what I make of it. I found out, when I was very young, that if you're happy, everyone around you is happy. This, then, just bounces back to you. I can pretty much find the humor in anything and am the eternal optimist. Sorry guys, had to get all that off of my chest. I know how that "guilt by association" thing works, and I know I was (am) a Wildchild but things aren't always as they seem. Love to all----peace out. |

Name: Petra '80 Website: Mich Referred by: Just Surfed On In From: Au contraire to popular opinion, I got high about 6 times in those 4 years Time: 1999-11-16 15:37:01 Comments: Red roses were her favorites, her name was also Rose. And every year her husband sent them, tied with pretty bows. The year he died, the roses were delivered to her door. The card said, "Be my Valentine", like all the years before. Each year he sent her roses, and the note would always say, "I love you even more this year, than last year on this day. My love for you will always grow, with every passing year." She knew this was the last time that the roses would appear. She thought, he ordered roses in advance before this day. Her loving husband did not know, that he would pass away. He always liked to do things early, way before the time. Then, if he got too busy, everything would work out fine. She trimmed the stems, and placed them in a very special vase. Then, sat the vase beside the portrait of his smiling face. She would sit for hours, in her husband's favorite chair. While staring at his picture, and the roses sitting there. A year went by, and it was hard to live without her mate. With loneliness and solitude, that had become her fate. Then, the very hour, as on Valentines before, the doorbell rang, and there were roses, sitting by her door. She brought the roses in, and then just looked at them in shock. Then, went to get the telephone, to call the florist shop. The owner answered, and she asked him, if he would explain, why would someone do this to her, causing her such pain? "I know your husband passed away, more than a year ago," the owner said, "I knew you'd call, and you would want to know. The flowers you received today, were paid for in advance. Your husband always planned ahead, he left nothing to chance. There is a standing order, that I have on file down here, and he has paid, well in advance, you'll get them every year. There also is another thing, that I think you should know, he wrote a special little card...he did this years ago. Then, should ever I find out that he's no longer here, that's the card...that should be sent, to you the following year." She thanked him and hung up the phone, her tears now flowing hard. Her fingers shaking, as she slowly reached to get the card. Inside the card, she saw that he had written her a note. Then, as she stared in total silence, this is what he wrote... "Hello my love, I know it's been a year since I've been gone, I hope it hasn't been too hard for you to overcome. I know it must be lonely, and the pain is very real. For if it was the other way, I know how I would feel. The love we shared made everything so beautiful in life. I loved you more than words can say, you were the perfect wife. You were my friend and lover, you fulfilled my every need. I know it's only been a year, but please try not to grieve. I want you to be happy, even when you shed your tears. That is why the roses will be sent to you for years. When you get these roses, think of all the happiness, that we had together, and how both of us were blessed. I have always loved you and I know I always will. But, my love, you must go on, you have some living still. Please...try to find happiness, while living out your days. I know it is not easy, but I hope you find some ways. The roses will come every year, and they will only stop, when your door's not answered, when the florist stops to knock. He will come five times that day, in case you have gone out. But after his last visit, he will know without a doubt, to take the roses to the place, where I've instructed him, and place the roses where we are, together once again. Sometimes in life, you find a special friend; Someone who changes your life just by being part of it. Someone who makes you laugh until you can't stop; Someone who makes you believe that there really is good in the world. Someone who convinces you that there really is an unlocked door just waiting for you to open it. This is Forever Friendship. |

I knew it would happen eventually. My only regret, at this point, is not to have known Petra better all those years ago. I knew she was always laughing, but I always thought it was nothing more than substance abuse. I now see that over time we all experience some critical form of brain cell corruption. That's why, after 20 or 30 years we can all meet again, and have the opportunity to get to know someone whose brain is in exactly the same state of decay as our own. Finally, we are able to see a common demoniator amongst us, and that is life. Ain't it grand? I love each and every twisted one of you. |

Name: Gil Bell Website: Referred by: Just Surfed On In From: Time: 1999-11-16 02:25:43 Comments: While catching up on the latest entries I noticed quite a number from football fans. Especially a certain Raider fanatic. While I played football at Schweinfurt and in high schools in the states, I never really enjoyed it that much. The only sport I follow with any regularity is rugby. I was more upset that the New Zealand All-Blacks lost to France in the World Cup (which was held last month in Wales & Great Britain) than I was about the Falcons losing again or the Braves getting stomped in the World Series. There is something about a fast paced rugby match that is far superior to the 5 seconds of activity followed by 5 minutes of talking, analyzing and commercializing of football. Ruggers play non-stop for a forty minute half, take a 5 minute break, switch sides and go at it again for another 40 minutes. The play only stops for brief periods to resolve infractions then it cranks up again. I don't trust any sport that uses 6 officials and stops play for penalties that should be ignored unless a team garners an advantage. There is one referee on a rugby field and he lets play continue unless the offending team gains an advantage from an infraction. If the other team picks the ball up off a penalty and gains ground, so be it. Then there's the matter of padding. The only padding I ever wore in a rugby match was a mouthpiece and some tape around my ears. Mind you this is a sport with full contact tackling. In all my 13 years of playing no one ever payed me a dime. I had to retire from playing some years ago like everyone does. But in my playing days I traveled to 7 states and 8 different countries to play games. I have friends all over the US and Europe that I stay in contact with. In short, rugby gave me something I could never get from football. I don't mean to demean anyone's interests but I'll be honest, I'd rather go watch my club play on a Saturday afternoon then go out and have a few pints of beer (sometimes quite a few pints)than to go to the Super Bowl. Just another point of view from an old Wolf. See ya. |

It looks like I am back to my consistent form of rattling everyone's cages again! OK. Here goes my first serious speech to EVERYONE. So that I am not misunderstood, here is my list of closest friends in the order that I have known you: Joe Nadeau, Mike McNerney, Dan Coberly, Larry Taube, Marvin Bar, John Laverty, Grandpa Billy Beeler, Sabrina Comstock Kennedy, Bob Manwaring, Petra [unk. last name], Cindy [unk. last name] & her toilotpaper daughters with the plugged bathtub, et al the beautiful people who have been nice enough to email me after all these years, plus faculty (Bob Knych, Mike Chitty, etc.) ITS GOOD TO KNOW ALL OF YOU AGAIN, WURZBURG WOLVES! Petra I was simply restating Larry Taube's comment about the sultry stories, who [he] was joking when he said it too. Petra, your comments in the guestbook have won my heart as the best ever. Larry is in a close second place, although I still feel sorry for all the alligators who are trying to live in Florida with all those Floridians all over the place in the alligators' gardens and the alligators' back yards! Ever-Serious-Bob is in a close third place with all the nice timely updates on room reservations etc. I think this guestbook has been a huge success. I will restate my jab against wolf / wolfie / wolfette who are/were polluting our guestbook with nonsense. I am personally ashamed that they are/were doing it. [Wanna know what I really think?] But after all, the First Amendment to the U.S. Constitution protects people's public right to say anything as long as it is not false or misleading or slanderous or defamatory, whether what they say is worth hearing or not. For the record, when you become a corporate executive, or a military officer, or join a particular religious group or a social organization, you waive that First Amendment right, within the confines of that group or organization. But you still have a public right, even though the Corporation or the Dept. of Defense or the Church or the Club can expell you for what you have said. I stand by everything I say here. I was a prosecutor in the Navy/Marine Corps. I am a C.P.A. now [stands for Constant Pain in the A--]. I am no fun to argue against. I dont fight fair, neither with words, nor with fists or feet or swords or knives or bow and arrow or guns at 20 paces or 1000 yards. Its fun to duel with Larry. Its fun to tease beautiful Petra. I walk a fine line with Bob on this guestbook site. But I do not pull punches nor lie to anyone. Enough said. Reading Petra & Larry & Bob's entries is better than the San Jose Mercury News. Petra has almost made me cry. Larry always makes me Laugh. I admire Bob for his hard work and his openmindedness, and he brought us all back together again. Now we are stuck with each other, all generations, 60s Old Wolves, 90s Generation X, and everyone in between. See you all in Vegas, and again every 5 or so years afterwards FOREVER! |

In my opinion they weren't much, but that's just my opinion. Now you're requesting "cyber" stories. I don't know, maybe it's just me, but I totally think that this guestbook is seriously not the appropriate place for smut. I mean, how would it sound if I started writing, setting a scene on a deserted island with nothing but palm trees, coconuts and monkeys... 2 lovers stranded there by some drunk skipper that failed to check his engine, consequently blowing up the entire boat, himself included. There they are stuck, with nothing to do. How would it sound if I started waxing eloquent about his throbbing sword of passion? Or her tunnel of love? Or how his glistening, manly chest pressed against her heaving bosom in anticipation of things to come? Somehow I think people might be offended. I could be wrong........ |

Anyway, she's a good gal and I probably SHOULD spend less time outside the bushes of her bedroom. By the way, the medication-holiday is going fine.... if I concentrate, I can make the voices sing!! |

Name: Petra '80 Website: Referred by: Just Surfed On In From: Time: 1999-11-13 23:20:27 Comments: Why the ATM (Another Temperamental Machine) charges $1.50, or whatever, when you make a transaction at a station not networked into your bank. It is to pay for the calls of apology and the letters of regret that the banks have to make when they claim your funds are not available to you "at this time", or you have given the wrong PIN. The latter of which ensures the machine’s keeping your card and mangling it beyond recognition. Now the banks have to make you a new card, because mutilating your old card was in error, and they certainly wouldn’t want to charge your account for that. That would make it seem as though you’re paying for their faux pas. This way they’ve covered their expense with your money, tell you that they’ll replace it for FREE and you get all misty eyed and appreciative. Possibly even babble on about how grateful you are and you will never change banks because "… This is just the personalized kind of service that makes life-long customers. Sniff, sniff". SUCKER!!!!! What I want to know is…. When you pull up to one of those free-standing drive-thru type machines, for whom is the Braille intended? |

You, yeah you…. The Putz, will love them, no matter what they do. They will take you to the brink of insanity, pushing you to the very edge of reality leaving you wishing that they would, perhaps, spontaneously combust right in front of you. As you are just about to lose all control with them, they’ll look you right in the eye…. I mean dead on…. And say something like, "You know, I love you, Mommy", with one hand behind their back, the other in their mouth, looking up at you and sort of swaying from side to side. And what do you do at this point? You freakin’ MELT. They KNOW this. They are the greatest manipulators you will ever come across. They prey upon our weakness. Our willingness to forgive them any indiscretion, and besides….. if they’re cute enough about it, you, yeah you…. The Maid, will take care of whatever chore you gave them to do in the first place. No, wait….. that’s why husbands get away with it. Damn! I guess I’ll write again later with an explanation of how kids do it. |

Name: Petra '80 Website: Referred by: Just Surfed On In From: The top floor, toward the back, of the psych ward Time: 1999-11-13 20:57:25 Comments: The proper way to eat Oreo's. You must first make sure you have milk, a clean glass and most importantly Oreo cookies... any one of these items is often difficult to locate if there are children present... once you have your "stash" collected, pour the milk into the glass. Put enough Oreo's into some kind of container to ensure cardiac arrest. Here comes the tricky part, send your kids on an errand... preferably something OUTSIDE and something you KNOW they will do. For instance; to go burn something. Once they have left the building, gather your little piece of heaven and sneak up to the farthest corner in your attic. This way, should the kids come in for some reason (probably to tattle "Mom, Timmy is setting the dog on fire"), not only will you not hear them, but you won't feel the guilt of snacking behind their back and before dinner, like you've told them a thousand times, not to do. That is how you eat an Oreo Cookie. Happy Munching :o) |

We are trying to set up a chat room session for this Sunday, 7:00 p.m. central standard time. I hope to talk to you then. Petra, I would really like to have a discussion about any of the following topics: 1. the extra 1.50 the ATM "steals" if the ATM machine does not belong to your bank network. Chicago Crain's business news top 10 executive salaries all happen to be from banks.. Hummmm. 2. What is the correct way to eat an Oreo cookie. 3. For those of you who have kids, why do kids know the clean up everybody song and the mechanics of the song (meaning you really clean up)at daycare but at home, they just know the song? Hummm... Anyone of these will do. |

Name: Petra '80 Website: Who? Referred by: Just Surfed On In From: Sunny, leafless Illinois Time: 1999-11-13 15:30:42 Comments: Well, I haven't written in a couple of days, so I thought I'd do so now. Problem is, we need a new topic. I thought "How about a lively discussion about the state of the economy in Bangladesch" then decided that that probably wasn't challenging enough for the fine minds of WAHS. The toilet paper issue has, apparently, been wiped clean and flushed, so there are no further issues regarding that. So I'm sitting here...looking out of the window. It's sunny and cool and I'm reminded that it's the time of year that the german class would be gearing up for the annual trip to the Krist Kindel Mart. I wonder if they all pile on the bus, with the "crazies" sitting in the back cutting up and sneaking sips of Apfelkorn. Getting happier and louder by the second. Perhaps even having a boom box and singing/clapping/stomping along to the tune of "We will rock you". Poor Herr Kleeman losing all control and turning red (this wasn't without it's own reward, you know!). Then when they get there, making the rounds as a group for about 5 seconds with everyone splitting off to find the Glu Wein. By the time everyone has to get back on the bus, you know exactly who the partiers are, because they're the ones carrying each other. There's always the "inner" group of those who don't even make it back to the bus and a more responsible set of people is sent out to find them. This usually isn't very hard... just check the beer/wein/any-place-with-liquer booths. Once located, this rowdy crowd sits on the back of the bus being very docile in an attempt to divert attention from their inebriated state. Problem is, the giggling always gave us away. |
