Lost Friends Luncheon #114 - 15 November 2010

When I walked into this month's luncheon, who should be the first person I saw but Smilin' Eldon Streck! Just before I left on vacation Eldon was confined to bed and being cared for by hospice and his family. He told me he was going to get up and walk again, and by golly he did! He's in his usual good humor, and both he and Mary are looking great.

Mary and Eldon Streck. Great to see Eldon back up and around. He said he was going to do it, and he did! Our prayers and best wishes for both of you.

Lost Friends Luncheon #115 - 13 December 2010

Our 115th luncheon in December 2010 brought back lots of old friends including some folks who've been absent for a while. Here Jack Bowling is flanked by a couple of fellows we hadn't seen in a long, long time, Dave Cerney at the left and Dave Kuester at the right.

It was good to see everybody again and hear all the latest news and plans for Christmas.

These folks sure seem to be in a festive happy mood. Guess they've been good and are having those visions of sugar plums and other goodies expected from Ol' St. Nick.

L-R: George Huling, Marvin Howard, Allegra Burnworth, Mike Crye, Jim Rushing

While up at my end of the table it looks like we're expecting switches and coal lumps! Thanks to Mike Crye for grabbing the camera and snapping this.

L-R: Dave Kuester, Jim Harrison, George Huling, Doug Dreggors.

Lost Friends Luncheon #116 - 13 January 2011

January saw a return of some folks we he hadn't seen in a long, long time including Lynne Saunders and Red and Betty Merritt. We sure enjoyed visiting with everybody again. L-R: Marvin Howard, Red and Betty Merritt

I don't know what was so funny, but Allegra Burnworth, Lynne Saunders, and Harold Shiroma were sure enjoying them selves. (And yes, I checked - my fly wasn't open!)

Doug Dreggors almost managed to sneak out of the picture, but Eldon and Mary Streck weren't going to let him get away with that!

Eldon's looking better every day, and is walking under his own power again.

Regular attendee George Huling emailed me just before the luncheon to tell me that he'd fallen on the recent ice and broken his hip. He's in rehabilitation at McKinney Hospital Rehab at Virginia parkway and US 75. Drop him an email or give him a call.

Lost Friends Luncheon #117 - 14 February 2011

It was a sparsely attended Valentine's Day luncheon this month. Between Valentine's Day and the first really pretty, warm, sunshiny day in what seems like ages, we didn't draw much attention. But Mary and Eldon Streck, Dennis Kaplan, Marvin Howard and myself did get to enjoy some good food and fellowship. Mostly we talked about YOU, so you'd better show up next month!

Lost Friends Luncheon #118 - 14 March 2011

It was good to see George Huling back on his feet and under his own power after having had hip surgery. He's getting around pretty good with that cane and getting better every day.

L-R: Harold Shiroma, Jim Rushing, George Huling, Jack Bowling, Doug Dreggors, Allegra Burnworth, Mike Crye, Marvin Howard

Lost Friends Luncheon #119 - 14 April 2011

A few of us old diehards managed to struggle into lunch today, but missed seeing you there. Come join us around 11:30 a.m. at Tino's, Collin Creek Mall in Plano on the 13th of every month or the following Monday if the 13th falls on a holiday.

L-R: Jim Harrison, Marvin Howard, Harold Shiroma, Jim Rushing

We were deeply saddened to learn that Eldon Streck passed on April 21, 2011. He will be sorely missed.

Lost Friends Luncheon #121 - 13 June 2011

I was off attending my 50^th High School Reunion when the May luncheon was held, so I missed it.

I did make it back to the June luncheon to catch up on what had been going on.  We had a fair attendance and a great time. Carol George joined us later, but by common agreement we left the camera holstered.

L-R: Jim Rushing, Doug Dreggors, Ken? Rogers, Marvin Howard, Allegra Burnworth, and Mike Crye

Mike Crye insisted that if he had to be in a picture, I had to also, and swiped my camera to take this one.

It must have been a good joke in the process too from the way we're all laughing, and Jim Rushing sure is getting friendly!

L-R: Jim Harrison, Jim Rushing, Doug Dreggors, and Ken? Rogers.

Mike's getting better at this than I am!
