Martina,


I guess this is what we were preparing for in those boring lab classes and just didn't know it. If we knew then what we know now

He kind of looks like Mr. Gorby, too.(teacher).

[Hi In The Pines]

64 or 65??? WOW, I wasnt born til 70.


By the way, Waldo, your acid testing? Window Pane or sugar cubes??

 

[Waldo]

It was called a "blotter"back then Hi and I was in Aspen Colorado in a commune. Was quite a trip. Actually, at the time, I was on quite a trip. I graduated High School in 65 and that summer I packed me a knapsack and ventured off to explore our great nation. I spent 18 months hitch hiking all over this great nation of ours. Had a lot neat experiences, met a lot of great people and no dowbt, my greatest experience in meeting people was sharing a bottle of wine with Jamis Joplin at the Hyatt Lodgein Lake Tahoe, CA. Here is a picture from the early 70's Ramona..I was tamed down considerably by then. Will see if I can find an earlier one too. This one would have been around 75. It was Easter at Moms house with my wife Kathy and our daughter, Sherrie....Love the pants though

 

[Hi In The Pines]

very cool pic waldo. My only experience was a three day weekend in think in 1991, Rebel Stadium in Vegas, where Steve Miller opened for the Grateful Dead. An experience I will remember for the rest of my life.

We all have memories


Cherished and dear


Some are becoming vague


Others still quite clear


I've heard it said by those,


who are supposed to know


That with old age, your memory begins to go.


I have my own theory about this


And I'll share with all of you


I know it's a fact we only remember


Things that are important to us


And so I believe the older we get


The less important things become

Waldo, I like the way you think! Margaret

 

[Waldo]

Thanks Margaret!! I believe with all of my heart that our happiness in life is contingent with being happy with who and what we are. Never looking behind, wondering what could have been but looking forward at what possibilities lie ahead. And in my futureI see some really good wines..Mind you now, that picture is still a bit fuzzy but coming more in focus each day.

I like the car. What was it?

 

[Waldo]

I really don't remember Hippie..it wasn't mine..one of my brothers or sisters. I had an Opel Kadette at the time

 

[Hippie]

I had an Opel when I lived in Germany! I thinkit was simply badged 'GT'. It didn't run like any GT, but was reliable.
