This one makes me feel very sentimental, even more so than I've been out Walking.

I feel so lucky to have found you all again!

We are so glad you found us too, quite amazing. We got this call a few years ago from Diane Smith left on our answering machine, she didn't leave a phone number. You ever try to find a Smith? She didn't call back for a month. Sure enjoying contact from all of our long lost Paradox family. Thanks Diane.

It was pretty amazing, looking back on it all. I had tried for years to reconnect with you, but hadn't had any luck.

Then Diane decided that she and a few of her friends should come out to visit that fall. So I called Sherry to see if she wanted to go with me and then I called Steve. I had been in touch with Sherry off and on over the years, but hadn't talked to Steve since 1968 or 69.

He insisted that I couldn't just invite all of our friends without at least _warning_ Helen that we were coming. Really? I was crushed. I wanted it to be surprise.....

I still remember finding Rik c/o the SF Chronicle. I was sure he wouldn't remember me, but his first response when I called was "TEENYBOPPER." Then he said he had to put his banjo down before we could talk. I knew I had the right Rik!

I found Ralph but I couldn't find Gary, although I tried and tried. I don't remember who finally found him. Steve maybe? Rik led me to Carol and she led me to Jan. Interesting that you were all living so close to one another all these years.

I still haven't given up on finding Suzi Thompson.

Thank you Steve!

Diane Smith said...

Yeah, I thought you would appreciate that!

Speaking of Steve, he should be heading out any day now for Paris and Amsterdam. I hope he sends pictures!
