Alan Egler, AES class of 1974, egler17@earthlink.net

Regretably, neither of my sisters, nor I will be able to attend the reunion next weekend. We are the Egler's. I'm Alan '74, my sisters Karen '72 and Alice '76 only spent 1969 and 1970 at AIS in New Delhi after spending 2 years in Calcutta. (Say hi to Mary Flanagan Novak for me....she's done a great job tracking down and communicating with all of our classmates from AISC in Calcuttta). My sisters and I are all married with our families; I settled in NJ, Karen is in Brentwood TN, and Alice is in Holis, NH.

When I saw a few of the names of the attendees from my era, three very specific memories were reborn. I couldn't resist writing to you to to share them, in the hopes that you might be able to pass them along to the perpetrators. (I would have written to Mary (Flanagan) to share these thoughts, but she is incomunicato during her move from UT to NJ.)

1. Paul Rieger '70 was hound-doggin' my sister Karen, and upon our family's return to Pleasantville NY in 1970, he hitched down from college in Massachusetts (Holy Cross?BC?) to see her over Thanksgiving break, and ended up bunking with snot-nosed me (probably not what he had in mind)....but he did take me downtown and bought me my first Playboy magazine.....(I kinda felt like Wally and The Beav'....Cleavers gone wrong)

2. David Briggs '74 lived up the street from me in Friend's Colony (East?). We rode the bus together where David taught me to blow saliva bubbles off the end of my tongue......a talent that I have never lost. Ask him to show you!

3. Chris Cool '74 and I played and pitched on the same Little League team (I think we were on the same team?). He could throw much harder than me, but you can tell him for me that I still think he threw like a girl!

Well, I hope everyone still has a sense of humor. Sorry I won't be around for them to retaliate at reuinion. Have a great time!

Best regrds,

Alan
