Looking for more friends I knew while growing up

I’m just a very sentimental person who loves to keep in touch with people I used to know. If you’re one of these people, feel free to drop me a line at richardzowie@gmail.com, or simply drop a comment on this blog.

From the time I lived in Colby, Kan., from 1975-ish to 1981 and attended kindergarten through second grade: Matt Christiansen, Jennifer Commerford, Mrs. Peterson and Mrs. Fullwider

From the time I lived in Alvin, Texas, from 1981-1983 and attended second through fourth grade: Suzy Goad (who might actually be a distant cousin of mine), Marty, Joe Sanders, Martin Anguiano, Meredity Briscoe, Michelle McLeod, and, of course, my best friend from that time, Lance Boyd

From the time I lived in Beeville, Texas from 1983-1991 and finished high school: Ben Wilson, Patricia Bartlett, Valkena West, Mrs. Saenz, Dr. McTee, Rosgil Gutierrez, Matt Nicholson

Dear grandson of Sylvester Sebastian Zahnweh (pronounced "Tsahn-veh", meaning "Toothache" in German),

I am honored to be mentioned in your blog. I am alive and well,...well. I just got off work and am bleary-eyed and should be in bed, but I stumbled across your blog, and having perused it for the last little while, I have giggled much. Good job. I'll write you again when I am more lucid.

Your old friend,
Valkena (currently pronounced "Val-KEY-nuh", as you well know...not exactly Americanized as they never came over here...but pronounced "Wahl-KEN-uh" in the original Dutch and meaning I'm not really sure what exactly, but hopefully nothing uncomplimentary like "whale booger" or bunion scraper")
