So, I went over to Vanderbilt to buy tickets for Reunion Weekend, and I found myself entering the Class Party for Class of 1973.
I felt like one of the "mini-people" in the 1960's sci-fi TV show "LAND OF THE GIANTS."
Present were such GIANTS-among-men as
John Stein, 
Claude Cody, 
George Tomlinson, 
George Abernathy, 
Mark Reed and 
George Joe. Also present was Clark Thomas.

The Party was well attended, the food was great, and the music was fitting. As I ate a plate of food, the music playing was "Come Together" by The Beatles. Who could ask for more?
FOOTBALL BLUES: The weather was perfect for football, but Vandy delivered a less than perfect performance against Duke, getting womped 10 to 7.
THE RUMBA TICK-A-LO’s-O-73 DINNER:
Rumba is a Satay Restaurant and Martini Bar, just a few blocks from Vandy. Present were George "ABER" Abernathy and wife Kimberley, 
Claude "TERMINATOR" Cody and wife Anne and their son Carr, Mark "CHEEKS" Reed, John "BOSS" Stein and wife Beth, George "THE HEME" Tomlinson, Larry "Bozo" Simons and wife Ann, and Sigma Chi Barrett Sutton.

Aber was making faces like "what is this guy saying?"
Aber was making faces like "what is this guy saying?"Aber sat next to Claude’s son Carr, a 14 year-old football player, and the two talked football non-stop. (Claude told me that after they got home, he overheard Carr talking to his brother - Dad is pretty lame, but his friends are "interesting!") Claude, its very normal at that age - when my son was 14 it was like "God, Dad - you idiot!"
The ATO Prayer, Lord of Mankind was said, and the feast was consumed. 
Toasts were made to Alex and Laura Wilson, and to Mike McCarty and Tom Lovinggood who could not be present. A great time was had by all!

Larry,
Good report on the Homecoming situation. No word on whether any Wales Tales was played or attempted. I thought Herb Ladley was going to try to show up. Did he "Wimp" out???

Vinny:
Actually, I heard no mention of Wales Tales at all. Herb had said he is coming through in December.
I got this nice note from Mark Reed:
"Larry,
You and Anne where great to be with! Thanks for all you are doing with this blog and creating the opportunity for connecting. God bless you, your family and until we meet again, I love all my ATO brothers.
Mark Reed"
