22 April 12 - the IHOP in Bricktown, OK
Just over a month ago I got the oddest phone call. A number I didn't know, and a voice I didn't recognize! The message left was telling m e that I had a friend in Hawaii thinking about me. So naturally I was a little weirded out, I don't know anyone in Hawaii!!!! I had been having some issues, as usual..lol. My life, always full of issues, but who's isn't right? So, I called the number back and to my surprise it was Ben Hilger! We had a long, wonderful conversation. I hadn't talked to him in 27yrs!!!!! Then he tells me he's going to be in Oklahoma City in a few weeks for a conference, and how far away was I, and who did I know in that area that would be willing to get together for an afternoon or something. Well, anytime you say "Brat get together" we come outof the woodwork! And so I went to work! The first person I called was Denise Maden! I knew she was down there and if it hadn't been for her I don't think we would of got as far as we did. I'm am a huge scatter brain, and with all my stuff, had no organization what so ever! So Denise and I hit facebook with our ideas and dates and times. We didn't have a lot of time to work with at this point, so it was a crunch time thing! But we managed just fine, I think, and got it all put together! I even got the pleasure of a meeting a Brat who was in Berlin before I was, which was very exciting for me! I brought my yearbooks and some pictures, and we laughed and talked, and had fun! Although I will miss yet another big Brat reunion, the small ones are just as cool and unforgetable! Thanks to everyone who was able to make it! We all had a great time! One of these days I'll make a big reunion and get to see everybody!!!! Here we all are in Bricktown, Oklahoma City.
