Tolland High Gathering

Gail and I went to the Tolland High Gathering over the Labor Day weekend, here are some of the pictures. We weren't sure what to expect, but I have to say it was more fun than we had imagined. I've always enjoyed going to my RHS reunions, but this one had 5 classes so it was a unique experience talking to such a wide variety of people who spanned so many phases of our lives going back over 40 years.


Gail, Joy and Sue Kassett having a laugh.  We had lots of them over the course of the night.

 Bob, Nancy Gebhardt, Patty Wells
 David Mullholland and I had a few laughs about the time Mike dragged Betsy over to his house after school one day to beat him up! He swears he came out to take his beating but his mom told us to go home.  I told him I recall he was cowering in his room and never came outside.  We also had agood laugh about the time Betsy beat up Joyce Zarnecki at the THS school dance one night.  He remembered her dresses-with-sneakers outfits too. In his words ..... she was way ahead of her time.

Phil Richardson and Nancy Gebhardt
Gail talking to Phil Richardson.  We had fun talking to Phil, he had a lot of fond memories hanging out with Mike. See if you can pick out Becky and Bill Ellert. How about John Barbero.
Gail, Pam Smith and Brent Gottier.  Brent and I recalled some of our glory days playing for the Cards in Tolland Little League.  He remembered the time he was playing first and I was pitching, we picked Richard Charland leading off.

Collette Wilde recalled many fun times spent hanging out with Betsy.

New business cards

New business cards I just made for myself as a freelance videographer. My site it up quite yet, but will be updated with my work soon! 

The barcode box on the back is something called a QR code. (quick response code) It can be scanned with your smart phone and take you directly to my site from your phone! Pretty cool stuff.  Let me know what you think. I'll have an updated post once my site is up!

BOTTLE FENCE STILL EVOLVING

Views  of the  fence  vary with  sunlight   and  varying times of   day.  New  ideas, suggestions, and materials  are incorporated into the  fence   on  a daily  basis .    There   is  no model  to  follow,  therefore  no  violation  of  protocols.   Who  can  say  I am  wrong? I  think it is the first real hobby I  ever had. 
      Said  fence extends  across  much of  back  yard.  The  fun of it  is in  solving what  are engineering  problems of  materials,  methods, and  manufacturing .   On  a  simple , level, it  challenges   me  to plan an  entire process,  assemble and  organize  tools , assess  design  possibilities and  utilization  of   available spac

And it keeps  me off the  street

P.S>  en tered next day:   High winds are predicterd for today,  so  I  dismantled the fknce and stored nit in the shed.,  Because of  smart engineering,  the dismantling took about  ten  mimutes.  It  will reassemle just as easily.....each  section is  an  independent  unit, .

An Evening of Dance at Alfred University

This coming February I will be featured in a dance theater concert at Alfred University. I've been in this  dance showing two years already and this will be my third. Whats most special about this year is our visiting choreographer: Brian Brooks who is big in NYC right now. He creates modern dance works with his company and he's coming to my school to produce a piece for our concert. I've fortunately been selected to work with him along with two other choreographers, a professor and a student. Im looking forward to all the hard work and long hours of rehearsal!

Here are some images from the work Brian Brooks performed at the opening of our new theater two years ago:


This is the Miller Theater at Alfred University where the February Dance Theater Concert will take place.
 
Here is an image from my first dance theater performance choreographed by Robert Bingham, who sadly no longer teaches here.

And in the same concert I was in another piece choreographed by a fellow student named Katie Barlow. Im on the farthest left.

Im third from the left.
This was just last years show where I was only in one piece but it was a guest artist by the name Tiffany Mills. She also has a company in NYC. 

She wanted only the colors red, yellow, orange and brown to make up our costumes. 
Im the second from the right with my head back.


Hopefully this year I can successfully accomplish learning three pieces!
