Golden Friendships

Make new friends, 

but keep the old.

One is silver,

the other is gold.

A circle is round,

it has no end.

That's how long,

I will be your friend.

These three guys were buddies at Abilene Christian College (now Abilene Christian University), some 47 or 48 years ago. They can tell some funny stories about their youthful escapades. We, the wives, were also students at ACC and knew each other, but the original friendships came through the boys. Since the six of us all live in Texas - spread out from Mission, to Georgetown, to Temple - we occasionally get together, as we did on Tuesday evening, at McAlister's Deli, in Temple. I especially like this picture of Dan T., Milt M., and Dan, sharing memories.

Here we all are, six ACC/ACU alums. Milt and Susie just took a cruise to Alaska to celebrate their 50th anniversary. Dan and Charlyn, and Dan and I, will be celebrating 50 years of marriage in two years.
