Congo Bars, Mexicali's, Hideaway, K'Bob's

Debbie - 

Here are some thoughts of the past ( not in any order )-----

Your mother driving us to stake dances in Ark City and the record player for a sound system.

Being at a stop light with Verdeen on a hill in standard shift car with many cars behind us.
 
Our road trips to Tulsa with Lena eating at Mexicali's and being crazy at Sam's warehouse.

Going to Utah for spring break, leaving in the middle of the night, eating pounds of trail mix and breathing gasoline fumes in my sleep in the back seat as we watched tumble weeds blow across the hwy through New Mexico

Many Friday nights hanging with Lena, eating Congo Bars in spite of any previous diet we claimed to be on.

Hanging with the Ponca Boys-- Dean, Paul, Rob

Having get togethers with Kent Ackers, James Standfield, Karyn, Lisa, Maya, Tammy and many others.

Of course, the many church functions since primary. Pam, Debbie Wilson, Sydnee, Lena, Verdeen, Rick Ahlander and George Tovar, Tonya white, Ken Hansen....

Our Young Life friends and outings after football games to K'Bobs or the The Hideway.

Watching you and Dale date, marry, have kids and deal with a life-changing challenge. Your example as a couple has inspired many to have the courage and faith to live and face adversity.

There is so much more. Thanks for being such a wonderful friend and the fact you will always be a bit older than me! Happy Birthday...

Love, Jeff Gray
