From Linda Ness




January 2007
Birthday Greetings from your Young Modern friend of about 35 years ago. So many years have gone by! We weren’t even that old back then! Who would have known we would ever grow up to be so old – have grown children (with spouses!), and would be blessed as GRANDPARENTS!!?? I’m sending a few old photos – they say more than words could ever communicate about a brief portion of your lucky life.

Remember when …
You were the mountain man in Tennessee – dark, drizzly, cold, lost, rescue squad, tremendous drama. Remember how we laughed with (but mostly AT) you when you were escorted to safety down the mountain?

Remember ….
All the good times talking, playing cards, eating drinking, drinking, birthing babies, and sharing the warmth of each other’s homes in Tifton. What fun - our kids – Stacey, Michael, Jeanine, and Paul. Can’t believe they grew up!

Remember….
Panama City Beach, a Young Modern Reunion
The Benders, Wilsons, Krauses, Dr. John and Jacque. We WERE cool, weren’t we? Happy Birthday to you. Celebrate with your family and have a great time.


You are a very lucky (old) man!
Love to you all.
Linda Ness

Linda - I would love to hear YOUR version of that "lost on the mountain" story. We've heard it a few times from Dennis, it is one of his favorite and most told stories. It is getting shorter each time I hear it though, perhaps you can add another perspective.

Well, what I remember most after the sick feeling that Dennis was "missing", was Linda Ness telling me to put lipstick on to greet the rescue team! It was a Southern thing, I don't remember if I did, probably not, don't think I owned lipstick then!
