Thank you for always making us smile!!!!

Richard Maurer

Thanks for the posts Greg.  A touching 9/11 remembrance.  So many of those images are burned into our memory.  Then your latest post helps us laugh a bit at our geezer situation.  Keep up the good work.

Mitch Wise

Hello Mrs. Gray,

I am so sorry to hear about your husband Tom.  He was way too young.  Cancer is an ugly beast for sure. I am thinking about you and your family with my deepest sympathy. Kathleen Daulton Dacey

Here's an inspirational message from 1969. 

Richard Maurer

What a great story and wonderful message.  I hope there are stories happening out there right now that in 50 years could make a similar "postcard from 2021".  I suppose part of what makes the story so interesting and moving is that it is unusual for a penniless, stranger to be treated as well as described in the story.  That said, the story reminds us that there are opportunities to make some new stories of generosity and goodwill come true.

Doug Peebles

Yes, very encouraging. Thank you.

Gordon Reed

One place we can all help this kind of story happen is the legacy fund. The class of '65 legacy fund goes to help students who otherwise could not afford to participate in school activities.

One of the things that resonated for me was even with our divisions we were able to celebrate four civilians being launched into space and returned safely. Not quite a moon landing but definitely inspiring.

What amazed me about the process was they launched in Florida but the booster rocket touched down on a platform off the coast of California. The power of technology never ceases to amaze.

Mitch Wise

tGreat film on 1969.  I pray we still have this in us as humans.  Thanks Greg.  As to the Space X civilian flight still in awe of all the technology   

Greg Cook

As we get older, I think we can appreciate how celebrating our wedding anniversaries has changed through the years. ENJOY!

Mitch Wise

Thanks Greg, can alway use a good chuckle.  To bad the comedy writers today have lost the ability to write funny stuff about life rather than just attacking political and other persons,   Stopped watching SNL some time ago and despise most of the late night guys,,  Give me more Johnny Carson, Jaye Leno and Letterman

There always seem to be opportunities to create the "postcard."  The other day I was preparing to put gas in my car at a convenience market gas station.  An obviously poor and down and out woman came up to me and asked me for a few dollars to buy gas for her car, pointing to a beat up sedan with family members inside.  I said, "I won't give you cash but if you pull your car up to the pump I will pay for your tank to be filled." She responded, " Really, you would do that?" I said, "Let's get her filled up."  She smiled and thanked me before she drove off with her carfull of folks. Was very easy to do and this isn't the first time. Simple things like this help us remember how blessed we are and that helping is not always a big project.

Greg Cook

Mitch I couldn't agree more. Fortunately, we have YouTube to relive those moments "on-demand." Unfortunately our generation is not the one advertisers are targeting. Oh Well, I'm sure our parents had the same frustrations.

Mike, that's definitely a 2021 postcard. Doing good deeds for the sake of the deed and not recognition is the value. Great post, hand out here more often.

Greg Cook

Mike, moving to AZ this weekend, if I need gas I'll head to NE Mesa.

Richard Maurer

Michael, great to hear a "postcard" from 2021.  Regretably, we hear so much news about strife, conflict and a lack of compassion that it is too easy to think that has become the way the world turns.   Thanks for a story about the more gracious and generous side of life.

Judy Van Hise (Flynn)

Good job Michael.

Those are the wonderful things that are happening every day., people helping each other.

Michael Elliott

Greg,

Will certainly take care of you, but you need to look like a street person when you show up.

Linda Wonn (Carpenter)

Always love hearing the good news.
