Stop it, you're killing me.
But after reading the postings, I did a quick Google search for Pace's Pizza and found this:
So Dino's shop is still open. Hoo-rah. If I get to Jamestown in August - which I hope to - I'm going in and getting a pizza, even though I really don't even eat pizza much these days. But I'll make an exception.
It seems like we have hit a plateau of 35-40 Class of '66 classmates who are in the loop that there even is a reunion next year, although I just did get Dottie Holdsworth's email added to the list, so maybe I'm being premature.
But is anyone out there proficient at searching for people? I've done some webcrawling and found Ward Romer and a couple of other folks. But a lot of the people we graduated with apparently exist below the Google-Alta Vista radar. That's not a bad thing, but it makes them tougher to find.
Surely, someone in our class has done work as a private investigator and has access to all those illegal files and websites that we can't get to. Oooooh! We do have a judge in the class, Judge Christopher Henderson (Maryland Circuit Court) who Dave Carlson had dinner with not long ago. Maybe Chris can give us some judicial dispensation and help us find the missing 100+ from the class.
Saturday night I'm going to a biggest Seneca lake party of the season, thrown every year by a well-known family who invites most of the shoreside residents to come and eat, drink and dance. And dance we do, especially after the drinking part. And one of the songs the group Steve Southworth & The Rockabilly Rays plays every year is today's blast from the past:
Running Bear
Johnny Preston
[Words and Music by J P Richardson (The Big Bopper)]

On the bank of the river
Stood Running Bear
Young Indian brave
On the other side of the river
Stood his lovely Indian maid
Little White Dove was her name
Such a lovely sight to see
But their tribes fought with each other
So their love could never be
Running Bear loved Little White Dove
With a love big as the sky
Running Bear loved Little White Dove
With a love that couldn't die
He couldn't swim the raging river
'Cause the river was too wide
He couldn't reach the Little White Dove
Waiting on the other side
In the moonlight he could see her
Throwing kisses 'cross the waves
Her little heart was beating faster
Waiting for her Indian brave
Running Bear loved Little White Dove
With a love big as the sky
Running Bear loved Little White Dove
With a love that couldn't die
Running Bear dove in the water
Little White Dove did the same
And they swam out to each other
Through the swirling stream they came
As their hands touched and their lips met
The raging river pulled them down
Now they'll always be together
In their happy hunting ground
Running Bear loved Little White Dove
With a love big as the sky
Running Bear loved Little White Dove
With a love that couldn't die
