Hey, pal, I tortured my wife with my 20th reunion, it's only fair she repay the "favor."

I'll make it a point to get to an Alumni A-Band gig.

That's not torture...it was a great honor that few people got to experience

Gotta know how to work the angle.

You'll be missed at homecoming, but we'll catch you at the next one.

Huzzah, Huzzah!

Many congrats on your bouncing-baby-falcon-to-be (or "faccon")... better you than me!

Sorry to take RUIT away from Homecoming festivities. If it's any consolation, I do feel guilty for it and he is able to say "I'm not going!" Heck, I may beg him to not make me go they day of... I've been fine not seeing them for 20 years... what's 20 more gonna hurt?

Hehehe I have one of the old busbys at my house I can rent to you for a nominal fee

Did you and RUIT wear the real tall ones or the shorter ones in your time? There are two different hats down in the staorage room and I really like the taller ones.

Really tall ones with the slight curve in front and the braid going between two buttons and not the three of the old retired-in-1990 unis.

I loved the DM busbies. I loved the whole uniform, really. I should get my wife to scan in my picture of the old uniform. Groovy, baby.

The uniforms are still hanging up in the basment also. Makes me feel almost nostalgic.

You mean the "Longest". You were about as wide as a toothpick but as tall as a giraffe.
