Clifford Ward

Hello Steve, I seldom get on this group and this morning found your hello from January! I apologize. It was so great to open my day with a note from you, you were always the nicest guy around and I wish you even more good health and happiness.

I sure hope this comes out great for you and with little pain or discomfort.

She was a nice person and I wish her family the best.

Hello Joe, and a happy birthday. Our class is at or approaching the big 70 and I am 7 months behind you. I hope you and yours are doing well.

Happy Birthday Pamela, your picture on the school site always brings a smile. Hope you are doing well.

Danny was a good friend, part of our Ham Radio group on 3892khz in the evenings, and good just to Bs together.  He is missed.

Carl, haven't seen you since the 70's in Houston. See you migrated to Florida. The pictures you sent of me in Hong Kong in 1971 (January) were much appreciated but I don't remember being that young. email me at clifford.ward@gmail.com

Hello Mike, didn't know you were in Fredericksburg, traveling as much as I have been most of my life means not alot of time for blogs. Patsy and I are going to leave Dripping Springs and build our retirement home in Blanco. We looked Fredericksburg over very carefully but the cost of land and taxes were higher than what we wanted to spend. Wonderful area though. Plus, staying withing 40-45 minutes of my son and his family ment that Blanco was a better deal for us. Lets get together for some German food some time.

I saw where Paris had 109 degrees the other day, and that is pretty far north of here! You have to remember, according to the US Republican Party, there is no such thing as global warming so it must be the dairy cows there causing the heat wave!

Rodney, do you know if Lou's mother Marie is still with us? She was a nice lady that helped me in my Ham Radio quest when I was 13. I seldom get over to east Texas but next time I do, I will swing by and see her if I can find her address.

where are you staying? Patsy and I are coming down tomorrow, where is everyone staying?

Well

It's taken me a few days or so to respond about this.  Danny was my oldest friend, I believe we met when we were either 6 or 7 years old, in Clute.  He moved elsewhere in the Brazosport area and we got together at times.  Later in life, it was the occasional fishing get together or just a long phone call.  

We met up in Navy boot camp, he was probably a month ahead of me.  Later, we saw each other at home one time, I believe I had just returned from 'Nam.  He knew of my issues ('Nam) and wanted to know if I brought them home with me (no, absolutely NO!).  Being in situations (combat) you really need to make sure who you are with.  

For me, losing old friends is just as difficult as losing family.  You can chose your friends and those relationships are permanent.  Danny will always be in my thoughts.

Cliff - yes we are going...we look forward to having dinner with you guys...maybe the 4 of us can set together? We are heading down to Lake Jackson tomorrow - going to have dinner with my cousins who live in Lake Jackson before all the reunion activities start on Friday. Alexia and Glen

Hello Buddy, I have gone over a number of towns in Oklahoma (on the web) trying to find out where you are, it was a rumor to me that you were there. Now you are here! I am glad you are still with us and hope you can make the 50th reunion!. Seeing you had joined us made my day (I am in Guam until the 1st of August). I retire when I leave this ship.
