35th Class Reunion
Hartford, Connecticut
Reunion - Part 3
On Wednesday I was ready to visit Tom Garro
at his place with his two daughters and two grandchildren at Southington,
CT. They love him because he is such a good daddy. He took
me around the town where many of his relatives live. He communicated
well with them and showed how close he is to them even though he is profoundly
deaf. We
stopped Janet Cornish to find out the phone number of Gloria Daughin, one
of the Reunion Committee. Meanwhile, Tom asked me about the Harley
Davidson rally in Sturgis, SD, and I explained the daily event schedule.
Tom is tempted to go but needs a ride.
Later in the evening he took me to
see my old friend Lewis Hobbs. He was delighted to see me again and
we chatted for two hours. He told me how good he was doing carpentry
work in many, many houses. Tom and I went to a tavern where Tom expected
some deaf people to come see me. I knew six of them and we talked
and laughed all night.
