lee hoffman.....1964, I agree with the senior citizens of class 1964...that life has been good. It has taken me to places that I could only dream about in 1964. Living on three different continents has been wonderful, but Crawfordsville will always be dear to me. Yes, Larry i still have another year to go before I reach senior years.

Hi Lee...not sure just when Senior status arrives. Denny's recognizes it at 55...some places it's 60, Social Security can be as early as 62, then 65, maybe older depending on when you were born. It's a crap shoot, but at 60 this past Sept., I think I'm there. I'll just cut my losses and accept it.

Christ Gary, how'd you manage graduating at 14? You just smarter than the rest of us? Well, congrats to you, I didn't know that. And yip, I'm old, didn't realize I'd live this long :-)

Sorry, Larry...just joking. I was 17 and not smarter....just smaller.Glad you are still kicking.Is Lee Hoffman the same guy I used to know as LeRoy Hoffman?...lived in a gray house? See, my memory is gone.

I believe it is....I'll admit, I had to look his name and your's up in the yearbook. But I'm familiar with each of you now...sorry for the lapse in memory :-) I do believe it will get worse before it gets better.

I'm sure glad to know for sure that Gary Garver was only joking about graduating when he was 14!!!I knew I was never very smart in achool, but that made me feel DUMB!!

Yip, 60 is not as bad as I thought it would be. Who would have thought in '64 that I'd be retired as of Jul '03. Life is indeed good. Look fwd to more activity as the word gets spread around. By the way, who is the oldest in the class? Actually, I'm not a baby boomer...born in Sep '45 and the cut off I believe is Jan '46. Probably others in the same boat. But who cares....

You know I have been dreading the big "60" but July will come & go & my oldest son will already be 40, so I guess it really isn't sooo badAt least both boys are gone & Steve & I have the house to our-selves. Grant will soon be 40 & is married & lives in Nashville, TN. & Greg is 35 & still single (but looking) & has his own house right here in C'ville.

It is great to see more comments. We use to yell! Go Mike Go, in CHS football, track, and basketball. Some folks like me, maybe grew up wanting to be, "Like Mike" way before MJ ever played for the Bulls. Thank-you all for the comments. This webpage is for all of us, so keep your ideas coming to the solpet3 e-mail address. This is a class project, so let me know what YOU want? Thanks for the bio, Larry. I think I will set up a whole link of bio's so we can get to know each other better. By the way, Larry had another great idea. To have a link set-up for those who have passed on, lest they not be forgotten. I will need names, dates, and maybe even photos? I will start with Alan who was honored in our 64 yearbook. I knew him well, and he was a very special young man.Send me photos, bios, whatever you feel we should have on our special page.d.walls (CAwebmaster)

Story time...One night after b'ball practice...location CHS Boy's Gym Locker Room... Mike was getting ready to shower(Thank God ), anyway..he was sitting on the bench in just his jock strap,: for some reason I had the urge to 'snap his strap'...so I sneaked up behind him, leaned over and pulled the elasric on his jock as far back as I could and 'let'r rip...and ran as fast as I could the opposite direction...which was toward the stairs leading down to the courts....What was I thinking?..McCarthy 100yd dash ~10 secs, Garver 100yd dash 12+ secs...oh shit...Well the next thing i felt was Mike grabbing my shirt with one hand and my ass with the other...not sure what was going to happen but was about to find out very quickly since we were by now right at the top of the stairs...airtime....The next thing I knew, I was flying though the air and bounched off the floor at the bottom of those stairs...I was pretty sure I was not dead, but just to be sure, I played possum and Mike came down the stairs saying' Gary...are you OK?'...I still played dead. He tapped my side a few times and I started laughing...bad idea again...this time he popped me in the back of the head and left me there...but I could hear vulgar words trailing behind him. The next time I 'snapped a jock strap'...I made sure it was on someone who was not a record holder in track!

Good story Gary, I hope Mike reads it & remembers. Sounds like he would.I guess I have a story also, my very best friend, was Carol Rogers, who came to CHS in the fall after I came in the middle of the 8th grade & we had both gone to Waveland together in the 8th grade. Well, you remember how in the cold winter, they would let us wait in the gym until time for the1st class in the a.m. Anyway, she was already there with a guy she had dated recently when I came in & went over to them to say "Hi" well she introduced us & that became the END of my single days, as it happened to be Steve Carey, from the class of 1962 & Carol & I have remained "best friends" also the entire time. Let's see now, I guess that would have been late in the winter or early spring of 1961Oh my!!! That makes in almost 45 yrs ago!!! EGAD!!!!! Are we that old already??? Anyway, Steve & I are still together, raised 2 sons that are now 39 & 35. The 39 yr old is married, & just celebrated their 8th anniversary, & they live in Nashville, TN. The 35 yr old is still single & LOOKING-He works right here in C'ville for RRD & Sons. He has written several of his own songs & lyrics, goes to clubs, etc. but he doesn't drink, smoke, nor does he do drugs of any kind. He goes to the clubs for the music only & perhaps hoping to find the "right one"Steve & I own our own home. It is a 3 bdrm brick ranch, south of town, fairly close to the airport.We moved out here in 1987 & we have about 3acres & 2 siberian huskies.Well, anyone with more stories???
