Gary & Bob Wonderful to hear from you. I think our Dads would be amazed to know they are fondly remembered and their children are in contact. Do you have any idea about Jack Sharpe's children, Jimmie & Cissy? Jack worked in skate shop with our Dads and his kids might be a smigden younger than us. Looking back, a wonderful time - I guess I appreciate it more now. I took it for granted back then - it was just life! Wonderful site - so many old names & memories are flooding my brain and bring a tear to my eye. We are having a small reunion in May at my home in West Point, CA but are planning a larger one this summer somewhere in Bay Area to be more easily accessible to all. Hope to meet Ellie (I remember her birth)and Harry who lives not too far away in May. We are all bringing pictures, films, etc. I had an old 8MM film of one of the show in late 40's that I had converted to tape. Can you & Bob arrange a few days in cool San Francisco to attend this summer? Might be fun! Janet
