Guitar Fest at Vincennes University

 Friday, April 29 - Thursday night Judy and I attended a Guitar Fest at the Red Skeleton Performing Arts Center on the campus of Vincennes University.  Red Skeleton, acclaimed as one of America's greatest clowns, is undoubtedly Vincennes' most famous home town star, and this center was built to honor him.  His widower has donated a lot of his memoirs, clothing, photos, etc., to this center, and it is a beautiful building, built within a block of his birthplace.  My sister-in-law's sister performs with the St. John's Folk Group, and they were special guests at this Guitar Fest, which featured music students and faculty as well.

Friday I had lunch with two of my high school classmates, Brenda (Lane) Nowaski and Faye (Hacker) Hess.  We had a great visit (and a pretty good lunch) and it as fun to catch up with both of them and relive some of our high school memories.  Of course, much of our talk centered around our kids and grandkids, and retirement (which I highly recommended).

Friday night we met up with some of the other classmates for dinner.  Five couples met at a local restaurant and we had a great time laughing about old times and catching up on our lives.  We closed the restaurant so we finally headed our separate ways.  We finally had a break in the weather, and Friday had a hint of spring in the air.
