Lee Leikam

Eric that is a very interesting life.  I appreciate being able to read about what you experienced.  I come to this site occasionally to see if anyone is still alive and saying anything.  Now i'm thinking it would be very neat if more of the folks would write a few paragraphs about their experiences:  good and bad.  I've personally learned more from mistakes and 'bad' experiences. Maybe the site managers could set up a share my life center.  I'd love to hear more from you all. Maybe Luther can stimulate some stories.  Do good things for yourself and others. 

David; I agree that academic intelligence is not the most important thing and yet its helpful.  Having compassion, love and wisdom as the primary view through which a person sees their world is the most important.  Years ago I was teaching a goal setting class and wondered how long we all lived in hours.  The average age was 76 at the time.  657,000 hours and I sleep a lot of it... and half of it was already gone! And now I've turned 80 and it's good to see some of the folks from the class of 63 are still sucking air and doing hopefully, well.  I goggled Luther and could find nothing to share.  How have each of your lives unfolded?

actually Mary you two weren't nerds... i thought you two were about two of the smartest kids in the class... I've never really known what a nerd was however....

david said it ...  luther was an interesting person.  it would be good to know how his life unfolded.

happy birthday Betsy. Do good things for yourself and others. Hope all is well.

hey mr humble ... just poking around and came to the site ... hope life is good for you and your family. send me an email to thezendo@gmail.com do good things and be safe!

good to see your still kicking. Do good things and stay safe!

I met Rodney when they moved from Arizona to the end of Packard Lane just across the street from where i lived.  We were little kids who roamed down in the Corralitos creek.  When we were about 11 or 12 Rodney told me how babies were made and i told him that was BS.  He said "What do you think the ducks and chickens are doing?"  I soon realized he was right.  As little kids we would hold 'church' services in our 'fort' down in the creek.  Rod was Catholic so one week he played priest and the next week i played preacher.

So who's left:  Richard Humble, Manual Hernandez, Ken Pengally, David Isidro.  Are you guys still alive? ....    i suppose we are getting old as life slips by and the grandkids are growing up and the old friends disappearing.  

If anyone knows i'd like to know how and when Rodney died.  I've lost his contact info and last saw him at his home about 15 years ago when we spent a few hours out by his pool discussing our lives and loves.  (including how Carol Rinaldi liked Rod and I liked Carol ... from the third grade on,)  

Like the dew on the grass life passes before we know what has happened.  deepest of bows to everyone who remains.

i rarely come here but i saw your name and had to say Hi! Lynn and I are celebrating 50 years married this Saturday.... Do good and stay safe.
