Reunion Time

Hilyard, Carl and I were classmates in Hilo where we all grew up. After Hilyard got out of the Navy he went to TX to attend college there and never moved back to Hawaii. We had lunch and spent most of the afternoon at the Talett's beautiful house. We had to leave for a while because the tornado was heading straight for us. We were afraid of hail damage to the motor home. The tornado touched down in an open field so there was no damage. We returned after it past and finished our visit. Both Hilyard and Phylis are great singers and were performing with the symphony that night and the next. We were planing on going to see them but the campground gates closed at 10 so we weren't able to attend. Very disappointed - thought we were over the curfew years. We had hoped to get together with Air Force friends who also live in Waxahachie but we never able to get in touch with them.

We left Kona on May 4th. Long trip - we went to Honolulu, Las Vegas, Denver and finally Oklahoma City. Carl had his doctor's appointment and stress test the following day. All went well. Friday night was spent with Gay and Charlene Morrison in Midwest City and Jaydene Morrison, who just happened to be in town for her granddaughters graduation. Charlene and I taught together when we lived in OK.

Visited with Chuck and Lura Lee in Harrah then up to Broken Arrow to see Shantel and Mike. First Mother's Day that we were near the children in 15 years. The weather was predicted to get very bad so we left in a hurry the next day. Went to a campground that we were familiar with, Red Rock Canyon, and stayed a couple of days. 21 tornadoes touched down and 5 people were killed. Lots of damage and very close to where Chuck lives. Our friend Pats house had damage but the police were not allowing any one on that street unless you lived there.

We planned to spend the night at Lake Thunderbird in Norman but when we got there it was closed to do major damage from the tornadoes - the whole marina was wiped out.

The next day we moved on to Sulphur, OK. Had a great spot on the water and very few people. Spent 4 days there then moved on to Willis, OK. Both places were really nice Corp of Engineer parks and like Sulphur very few people also.

We are leaving for Texas tomorrow.
