Hi Tony,
I just read on the news that Walter (Wally) Olkewicz just passed away. He was our freshman class president, and went on to have a very successful acting career. He had been suffering from multiple health issues for the last few decades. RIP
Hope you are doing well. Margie and I got our first COVID vaccine at the end of last month, and are scheduled for the second shot in about two weeks. :-D
Will be very happy when this finally winds down for good.

Hey, Butch and Margie, day after day it's hotter than hell here. Thank heavens for AC!! I try to avoid going outside on the 90ish / 100ish days. Not good for the heart. I remember days like this didn't bother me as I unloaded 1 grain truck after another.
As for my present day health I'm doing ok. My biggest problem is bladder control. After wearing a catheter for 2 months I feel like a toddler learning potty training. It's frustrating as hell.
I do get outside and do some yard work mostly hopping on the old JD and mowing our 2 lots. Even that wears me out but not as bad as it used to.
One of my former students dropped by the other day. Haven't seen him in a couple of years. Makes me feel younger??? older??? He's in our youngest kid's class. So i've known him for ages. From a pip squeak to a full blown adult with facial hair. WOW!! And a son his own.
As of July 4th our youngest, Noah, jumped the broom in Ft, Collins, CO. None of us could make it so July 4th 2021 they will make it more official in KS/TX? Their courtship started at band camp in their jr. high years then was on/off until she moved down to TX, 20 minutes away from Noah. Kellee is as sweet as they come and our grandchildren love her as we do.
As for our other 4 kids, all is well. May it stay that way!!
May you guys remain healthy and maybe wealthy. I still haven't forgotten our agreement amongst the guys in our gang about making a million $$$. A Martin D45 for each. I still have my D18. It sounds better than ever. I can hardly play it since I have neuropathy in both hands, Ken Weltz has a Martin #?? He gets together with Dan DeCoursey from time time.
I've come somewhat close to that figure but no dice.
Well, Grandma/Grandpa Moran take care of yourselves. Stay cool.
Love & Peace,
Super & Ellen
Ellen told me you got home yesterday, I'm sure you were happy about that! Take care of yourself, Super, and remember.....

And a very Happy Birthday, Tony, hope you have an enjoyable celebration. Ignore any aches and pains. As my Grandfather used to say:
"Getting' old ain't for sissies!"
Raise a glass tonight. :-D

I just recalled that it was 50 years ago that you had me, Kenny, Super back to Glenwood Springs for Thanksgiving. That was a great time. Hope you and Susie had a wonderful Thanksgiving.

Thanks for sending the sad info on Jerry.
This is Super and I.have sad news; Jerry Tormey died about 2 months ago from cancer. Dan Moore will probably meet with us for lunch on the 18th. Doc told me after Sue had talked with Teresa (Redington) Moore

Hey Butch, If you guys ever come back this way you will be able as of this day to buy real beer at any store. No kidding even though it's April Fools Day!! KS is finally in the 21st century!!
It's not like the old days when beer was part of the daily diet-COORS. Now on St. Pat's Day we each have a GUINNESS!! How times have changed. Got to keep my sexy figure. Ha!!
Gotta run off to Pratt to PCC for Ellen and #1 grand Mackaillyn's choir rehearsal and visit to WM to pick up meds. Just to think back in the day an aspirin was all it took.
Take care kids. Give each other a hug.
Peace/Love'
Super and Ellen
