Fate or Destiny..(or are we all living in the Matrix)!?
Had just unboxed my old UWP sweatshirts HOURS ago...
One is Phil Record's, one is mine.
They're old, stained, worn almost threadbare.
Sane minds would say "Chunk it--- and by God...why haven't you sooner!!?"
Why have I kept these articles so long...move upon move...box after box?
Maybe it's time to let go of them...
I stood there reading over the names and immediately was taken back to
Tucson. I can still remember us voting on these shirts. I remember first
receiving it...and being so proud that we had the coolest shirts..because
alas..we were the coolest cast! Once again I board the bus to another uppy
memory ride...
How often do you do this? Do you relive the wonderful times almost as if
watching a video of us? Do you think back to host families you loved, places
in which you embraced an assortment of emotions and experiences, fellow cast
members whose voices and witticism you can clearly hear.....
Do you come out of these trancelike states and find that time has passed and
you're still standing there with whatever item jolted these incredible blasts
from the past?
I think you do. I think you all do....so you'll understand why I cannot toss
this well loved old "blanket". I think you still have memorabilia of some
sort, even maybe the group picture. Yes --we are all 20 year older versions
of that fun loving group, and I for one want to see my forever friends again.
So--let us know how we can help out. I know that I and others are grateful
for another chance to get to see as many of you as possible!

here in the wet state of Georgia. I wanted to drop you a note to

Buchanan was born via cesarean section at Hermann Hospital. 7 pounds 7 ounces
and is doing very well. It's Byron's birthday also..... What a great birthday
present for him! Katie is a bit sore from the surgery and a little loopy from
the pain medicine, but is also doing well. Uncle Dominick & Uncle Matthew 4)
From: Rusty Henely New email! mailto:capdog4@iglou.com Rusty & Claude
From: Janice Selig Hello there, please make sure that
my e-mail in your address book is mailto:jselig@maine.rr.com,
the other e-mail you may have is not working properly and this one continues to
work well. They both come into the
same box and I check them very regularly.
Thank you It may seem hard to believe sometimes, but
you can e-mail
me and I'll post things asaic (As Soon As I Can)Hello Everyone!
It is great to see that we made an impression on the world that lives on in places besides our memories!
It was great to hear from my old friends.
I look forward to the day that I can take my son to a Up With People Performance and give him the chance
to see what those old pictures and video's were all about.
I finally got married in 2002.
I have one son (10) and three steps (5, 9, 13) two boys two girls.
I still travel frequently. Write a lot, and host a radio show. That is my life in a nutshell.
I had a picture of the wedding on my laptop so here it is. Life is busy but great!
Glad to hear from you all.
Stella Payton-Lockhart
Got married and had a little boy this past year!
I doubt we'll make it to Tuscon but I'd love to come.
It will be a last minute thing if we do. I'm doing well.
Back at work and finally made partner in a law firm.
Katie
I have a latvian boyfriend and part time I am living in Riga,
part time in Helsinki. We have been together for half year and
we are planning to register our relationship (get married!) this summer.
I send you a photo of us, just a month ago we spent two weeks in Miami.

Henrik
I am still working with the RCMP as a Corporal in Commercial Crime in Charlottetown, P.E.I.
I am married with twin girls (2 1/2 yrs) and a boy (4 yrs).
Life is busy but we may just go to Tucson.¬Ý
Kim Hendricken
Hey - I'm doing fine.
I'm sorry I won't make it to the reunion.
During my carreer as an oil-rig worker in the North-sea,
I had some bad experiences with helicopters.
That made me more and more sceptical to the art of flying,
so the last time I flew was in 1988.
I'm very busy with feeding my daughters and doing my job as a teacher.
I have regular contact with Rick Chapman. He has become a great
photographer, so take a look at his web-site www.rickchapman.com.
Inge
Sorry for the delay.Ôø‡ I've been traveling a lot out of my base in Calcutta -
throughout India and also Cambodia and Thailand.Ôø‡ Have never been such a bachelor.
Anyway, this email (spuppy98@hotmail.com)
is still good, I just don't have enough time (and sometimes frequent access)
to do justice with my responses.
Won't be able to make the reunion in July, but may be in the States in May/June or August/September
for a couple of weeks.Ôø‡ Will be thinking of you all, and may try to call during the reunion to catch up,
say hello, and catch a few refrains of forever friends.
Love and best wishes to all,
Sue

keith,
It was great to hear from you and even greater to hear you're happy.
Family life will do funny things to you. It's awesome though isn't it.
Here are some pictures I promised you. Graydon will be 1 year old in a
week. One picture Paige would be mad if she new I was sending but its a
good
one of Graydon.
Still don't know if we'll make it to Tucson in July. It sure would be neat
if we could though, still working on it. Speaking of Tucson we're going
there in 2 weeks to visit my in-laws they just inherited a condo there.
It will be nice to get away from the cold nights. It's -10 degree average at
night in Jan. and Feb. it's a good thing the sun warms things up in the
day.
Scott
