Have a Happy Birthday, Joe
I remember Jim from Creighton. We hung out then but at Olney, we went separate ways. Not surprised he was a mechanical engineer; he displayed a penchant for that in Creighton's woodshop and mechanical drawing classes. RIP Jim.
Yo Dale. How are you and Marilyn. Finally retired last year and it was definitely a good time considering what is going on. Stay safe.

I had lunch with a friend who once taught at Olney and my former World Cultures teacher, Mr. Fred Josephson. Mr. J is 94 and doing well. Until the virus, he still traveled to Europe yearly. Smart and sharp as a tack intellectually. A fine gentleman.
Just retired in June 2019 after 35 years in the Philadelphia School District. Also, just returned from Prague, a favorite city of mine. Going to Israel and Jordan in January and Spain in March. Moved from Old City to Northern Liberties last year. Other than that, biding my time working around my son's home. It's nice to finally blow away those Sunday evening blues.
Like Mike, I too knew him as Robin. One memory I have of him was him telling us about how he was at the Brussels Worlds Fair of 1958. I believe his telling gave me a bit of wanderlust; the desire to travel. In Brussels a few years ago, I saw from a distance the Atomium, a relic from the fair, and thought immediatly of Robin.
Happy birthday, Joe
