SPECIAL FRIENDS ARE SO IMPORTANT

Sharon and Leslie at the Crown Uptown, Wichita, KS, June 30, 2005 . Dave, her husband was there that night, too. They took me out for my birthday.
We have been friends since we both worked at a television station in Wichita, KS, back in the late 1960's. I am truly blessed. Sharon is like a sister to me and has been there for me through thick and thin. I miss our lunches and our special times together, but we are only a phone call away. If you need me, I'll be there.
Marsha and I met when we were both in junior high school in Wichita. It was the summer we attended the National Traffic Safety Convention in Lawrence, KS. I was very shy, but with the help of Marsha and Cheryl, that weekend I began coming out of my shell. What a fun and memorable weekend that was. We went through high school together and then did not see each other for more than 30 years. What a blessing to have found you again, Marsha. You are so important to me.


Nancy and I went to church and high school together. Nancy, were you with us when we went to the church choir director's house one night and tp'd it? (I didn't normally do ornery things, but that night I sure did.) We also went 30 some years before finding each other again. I am so glad I moved back to Wichita after so many years away. Nancy, you are such a special lady and friend to me.

Fran and Leslie in Daytona Beach, June 30, 1999. We are sitting out on a balcony overlooking the beautiful ocean and beach. I met Fran in Bradenton, FL, in 1983. I lived in FL 15 years off and on (Bradenton, Arcadia, & South Daytona). We have had such special times together walking on the beach, meeting for breakfast or lunch, or just sitting on a boat out on the water discussing so many important things going on in the world or in each others lives. I miss you, Fran, and our times together.
I am looking for a picture of Jonee and Ruth. They have also been wonderful friends from my Florida years. We still keep in touch and always will.
