....there were four single folks working for a humongous company in San Jose - this would be 1968 - two guys and two gals. After a few (too short!) months couple #1 got married and a couple years later, the other couple followed. Roy & Jean and Bill & Cathy have been friends ever since - thru all the trials and tribulations of raising kids (Roy - four, Jean - four, Cathy - four, Bill - three) and not having a pot to pee in for years, but just tons of fun.
The four of us did everything together from camping, to running home after work, collecting kids and food and going to the park for hot dogs and baseball playing to after all the kids were gone the four of us rented a houseboat once a year for thirteen years.
Sadly, we've reached that darn time in life when we are beginning to lose our loving friends and Bill died of cancer last week. We are on the road now to go spend a few days with Cathy - this is the second worst trip we've ever had to make (our first experience with this was four years ago) and I know it's only going to get worse as we lose more and more of our friends.
There is nothing in the world more precious than the old friends that you have grown up with and gotten 'olderly' with, so everybody get together with these folks and hold them close to your hearts - tell them how much they mean to you while you have the chance.
take care all.

Retired and having fun writing cookbooks, tasting wine and sharing recipes with all my friends.
