<body class='hmmessage'><div dir='ltr'>My wife and I met in 1972 at IUP. I was a sophomore and she a freshman, oh and by the way, the gentleman who did the narration on the video was in her class. We dated through college and she was my accompanist for recitals. We went our separate ways for several years and were married in 1985. We are performing some gospel this afternoon at her studio recital.<br><br><div>Dennis F.

It has at least a double-meaning for perfect attendance and a reminder of the great tragedy which befell our nation.<br>> <br>> This is also a peek into your personal life and an encouragement to learn more. As a peek into your life it is at least a partial fulfillment of what you wrote<br>> earlier isn't it. I do not remember the exact discussion nor your exact words, but this is a paraphrase of what you wrote: "My intention is to make a difference,<br>> not just follow-respond to conditions." Again, certainly this tribute is one example of fulfillment of the quote.<br>> <br>> In another post about music you wrote that you and your wife perform together. May I copy the role of 'Groucho" to ask: "How did you two love-birds meet?"<br>> <br>> Thank you for sharing your current challenges.<br>> <br>> <br>> Pc<br>> <br>> <br>> <br>> --------------------------------------------<br>> On Sat, 11/23/13, DF Cramer <alto_trombone@hotmail.com> wrote:<br>> <br>> Subject: Re: [PRCo] [NOT PRCo] I had just walked the.................<br>> To: "Western PA Trolley discussion" <pittsburgh-railways@mailman.dementix.org><br>> Date: Saturday, November 23, 2013, 4:54 AM<br>> <br>> I was in Mrs. Enterline's 5th grade<br>> at East Franklin Elementary School.
