Over sixty years ago Stan and next door neighbor Larry Olson walked a mile and a half together every day to a one-room country school where both attended First Grade with four others. Once they walked to school after a huge snowstorm blocked the roads, just to learn that school had been closed and they would need to return home. By Second Grade, the Olsons must have had enough and moved to town.
Stan pretty much lost touch with Larry until today, when this auto-forwarded photograph and a note appeared, inquiring about the possibility of a 50th reunion of the Alexandria Class of 1965. He had found an old class of '65 email address activated for a previous reunion.
Larry's brief note offered few details, other than that he did get a haircut after the rally in Sturgis last year.
It will be great to see him again. It's been a long road since the last time we played together.
(Work started on the Crazy Horse Monument the year after Larry was born.)
