I have a favor to ask.


since i find it particularly annoying that Joe Jackson can't take a couple minutes out of his busy schedule to come and visit this blog. i'd like to ask that each of you take moment and let our pal Joe know that he is missed. please note, this is his work email so dress appropriately - corporate casual, but please do pay him a visit.
email Joe
thanks.

carry on...

I have no part in this!

mathbach said...

pussy!

pauko27 said...

All, I am not saying not to send Joe an email, but please keep the wording appropriate to a work email address.

mathbach said...

did i not just say that?

pauko27 said...

Sorry, it needs repeating.

pauko27 said...

Matt, like the organizing on the right side of the blog.

tmmullen said...

Dan---Great to see you back! But just a clarification, Joe won't see that until he comes to the blog. So, if you feel inclined - e-mail him and share that very same sentiment. Oh, and blame it on Dave. That's usually what we do.

randyg said...

Great job with personal blogs on the right side.

randyg said...

My wife says I'm addicted to this thing. I tell her it's "Bloggervision".

LongE said...

By summer, some of you will be going to "Blogger Counceling".

andrea said...

hi dan....it's good to see you are doing well. it has been sooo long since i've seen or heard from you...

kristen said...

blogger counseling definately in the cards for me...and i sent joe an e-mail threating prom picture blackmail

Steve Freeman said...

By summer, I will need counseling way before then. I check this blog more than I check my email. Hell, I check on the changes made to this blog more than I check on my 3 year old. Where the hell did he go? Oh, he'll be fine, I'll check on him as soon as I get done reading some more comments (maybe).

LongE said...

Trae is more than capable of watching your 3 year old. That kid is a piece of work!

tmmullen said...

I've been called to dinner twice already and I'm still here...

andrea said...

holy crud....i'm gone for the day and come back to all the addicts on here....did you all get your fill for a sunday since satureday was kinda dull?

tmmullen said...

K & A---My bio and a pic of my little girl dull? Harsh.

Wait a minute . . . okay, I'm over it. :)

Carol (Schleicher) Good said...

Ok, I admit to checking this blog thing out quite a lot and will probably be headed to Bloggers Anonomous. I am supposed to be working and can't tear myself away from the blog. We will all have to get together as a support group at the 20th reunion.

kristen said...

tmm--that "K" isnt referenced to me is it,,,,did i say dull, i dont remember?

andrea said...

yes kristen....i was just agreeing with you...you wanted matt to give you a small dose of sugar because it was a dull day!! :)

kristen said...

ok, i will admit i said that, but didnt say tmm's posting was dull and certainly not his daughter...and by the way, how about all the freakin daughters for our class. there's got to be more girls than boys!

andrea said...

i know.....tons of girls....as for sheila...what is holding her up? i want to know about her life...and i know you were mentioning carol hahn, lenz azar (whatever happened to her cousin? I forget his name) where are all these people....donna bolt, tracy hicks, lori stein, denise miller...

kristen said...

lena's cousins name is Izzat...i talked to carol and knows about the site, she said she'd call lena...dont know about the others, i guess no one has tried to contact them yet...i know i have called some and left info on answ machines and then again, some people probably arent interested...

kristen said...

i guess joe's too busy to check in yet, huh?

andrea said...

too busy or just doesn't care? then again, he might be holding out with something big! i say just keep posting pictures and sending emails....

judy said...

hey all. i had to take a break for a bit. my boyfriend's going to have to have an intervention.

anyway, i thought i was bad about dropping out of the loop. what's jackson's story?

i'll email him, but i promise, work appropriate only.

mathbach said...

i spoke with Chuck McGlade the other night and he had heard the same as me that Tracy Hicks died a few years ago.

we think Izzat moved to Brazil, that was 9th grade.

and Chuck has contact info for Chris N (Atlanta) and Jaime Slaska (Allentown).

Lori Stein - i had been in contact with her but she has not accepted her invite.

other people who have not accepted invites - Rusty, Bob H, Jeff P, Mike Shuey, Lisa Harrigle, Michelle Churetta, Bill Meyer, and Chuck.

Stacey O accepted her invite today.

tmmullen said...

I spoke with Denise Miller last week. I called her parents to see if I could pass along some info and she happened to be there. So I gave her Matt's e-mail and the blog address. But nothing yet I guess.

HEY CAROL! Get on her butt to learn how to use a computer and at least get us her contact info.

LongE said...

I am starting to worry about Joe. I called him twice this weekend....with no answer.

tmmullen said...

The next step may be a physical intervention. Then we can get some cocktails afterward. Sounds like a plan!

Carol (Schleicher) Good said...

Todd,I will try to get Denise to get with the program. The last time I talked to her she didn't even have email. I will also try to contact Michelle (Heist) Edwards.

What is this I read that Tracy Hicks died? What happened. Is there anyone else from our class that passed away?

LongE said...

Wow. I didn't hear about Tracy. Anyone know the story?

Vicky said...

Carol, Chris Henry passed away just recently (within the last 6 months?) and Mark Regits passed away a few years ago. Of course, there was Freddy Farah when we were still in high school. I hadn't heard about Tracy.

kristen said...

maybe you guys just pushed joe over the edge with the pictures...

i hadnt heard anything about tracy hicks either, and read the obits daily...if she or her family was still in the area, i think i wouldve heard something

kristen said...

does anyone know what tracys mom or dad's name was/siblings? i found a tracy A hicks age 38 in Columbia sc, charlotte and wilson nc, oceanside ca, fort mill sc, camp hill pa and philly no age

LongE said...

by next week, i'm going to have to drive to Joe's house.

pauko27 said...

We cant' even get Joe up the hill, let alone pushing him over the edge. We've been trying for years.

tmmullen said...

K---I was just teasing.

A---Girls everywhere. All the people we knew who were having kids in the past 2-3 year have had girls. I lamented that fact to my wife - I told her, there will be so few guys that even lazy good for nothings like me will be in high demand! And I want someone much better than me for my little Paigey! But it looks like the pickings will be mighty slim...

Long-e---I already suggested that. Please try to read before commenting (just kidding). And if you're serious, I'm in.

Dave---What's this "we" stuff? Do you have a mouse in your pocket? Besides, the problem isn't that Joe won't go over the edge, the problem is that when he does, he spends the next two years evaluating the pros and cons of his actions before deciding whether or not to bother going up the hill again and just looking over the edge. Wow - that was deep.

andrea said...

i'm saddened by all the deaths. wut was the deal with them? mark regits, chris henry and tracy....wow, someone clue me in. vicki, how do you know this so far away?

randyg said...

Andrea - get out of the sun already and read up on the bloggervision. M a y b e i f w e t y p e d l i k e t h i s A n d r e a c o u l d k e e p u p.

tmmullen said...

R--I have no idea why, but that was really friggin' funny. My wife just asked if I was okay...

mathbach said...

Tracy Hicks - Janelle (joe's sis, Bill M's wife) told me Tracy had cancer but opted not to be treated.

Chris Henry - was also cancer i believe.

Mark Regits - car accident?

Chuck M said Mark Yastrop commited suicide, is he maybe confusing him with Mark Regits?

kristen said...

oh come on, i had not seen anything on mark yastrop either, are you guys serious...and get on Joe now, if Janelle knows anything about Tracy/not knowing really sucks

mathbach said...

Janelle and i emailed about it...

"Hey Matt, its Janelle. When Bill and I were at Penn State around 90-91, she stopped by our apartment. I don't exactly recall the situation, but she had cancer or leukemia or something of that genre. Whatever it was, she said she was not going to take treatment for some reason. So very possible that she may have died years ago. "

andrea said...

randy.....you are toooo funny today.

matt...does joe know about tracy? that doesn't make any sense that she would refuse treatment....didn't seem her style.

mathbach said...

Joe who?

Vicky said...

Andrea, it was Chris Chromiak (Class of '85) that told me about Mark Regits. She's one of the few people I was friends with in HS that I keep in touch with (of course, now this blog has changed all that!). I know about Chris Henry because...okay, I have a confession to make. I read the Morning Call online every day, including the obits. Okay, bracing myself. Go on Mullen, give me your worst and tell me how sad I am!

Carol (Schleicher) Good said...

That makes me sad about all the deaths in our class. I guess I will have to start reading the Morning Call online to keep up.

tmmullen said...

V--Not at all. I used to do the same thing (well not the obits) when I was here in Harrisburg the first time. Not so much anymore, every now and then. It just makes me angry.

Vicky said...

It just makes me angry.

-----------------

Confused...what makes you angry?

mathbach said...

the door has been opened...

Vicky said...

Gotcha. I just read it because I like to keep up with what's happening in the Lehigh Valley! I don't read the editorials, and politically I'm a real dissident so we just won't go there.

tmmullen said...

M--Not at all. Please have some faith.

V--Let's just say that, among other things, the editorial board of the Morning Call and I don't see eye to eye very often.

LongE said...

moving on.....

Jeff P said...

Maybe Vicki is waiting to read that Mullen has passed.....our Blog would be way to quiet if that happened!

OK - A serisous post. The last I talked to Tracy Hicks was in 92/93. She was living in Either NC or SC when she had called me -to ask some questions about buying a new PC (Shit - I'm still a Blog Virgin, why was she calling me for PC Advie?!?). Anyway, during the conversation, she shared with me that she was sick, but was not going to seek treatment. Who knows -that was 13-14 years ago. I'd suggest trying the SC # to reach her. Worst case, we dial a wrong #.....

Jeff

pauko27 said...

Jeff, good one about the orator.

tmmullen said...

Dude. That's cold. Plus, Randy, Andrea, Kristen, Kim, Mary, and some others would disagree. They have plenty of non-Mullen related fun. In fact, they'd probably be happier if I just shut the hell up!

And I really hope we're wrong about Tracy.

Tracy said...

No, I'm not dead...not yet anyway....The tumor that Janell was talking about must have been the lesions they found on my first MRI....I found out later that this was the first sign of the MS....i did NOT refuse treatment, the doctor withheld the info that it was ms from me at first, thinking i still had a few healthy years before i had to worry about it. It turned out I only had a few months....but once in remission I was fine for 14 years until after my children were born....couple of flair ups since then, but I keep trying new meds.....so don't bury me yet.....
