Lunch with Forever Friends


Monday was a great day and one I'd been looking forward to for some time.  We met friends from my scuba club for lunch at Sailfish Marina in Palm Beach.  

Sue Revie, Jerry and Kathy Millspaugh, and Russ and Julie Manhold and I first met in the Undersea Adventurers Dive Club in the early 1980's.
 Kathy, MaryMay, Sue, Jerry, Ed, Julie, Russ

It makes for a lively time to have 7 extroverts together who've been friends for so many years.  We discussed everything from Russ's skydiving experience last week in California, to the Millspaughs' grandchildren (the twins are 8 and the sister 11!), to Sue's passion for movies, to cameras, and of course some catching up on other dive buddies.  

The guys also discussed knives, camera details, tire sizes, rachetts, manifolds, and other "big-boy toy" topics. 
Ed had an appointment to see his oncologist on Tuesday so, rather than having to make the hour drive two days in a row, his doctor was able to see him Monday.  He started lunch, drove 4 miles to the doctor's office, and was back in less than an hour.  While he was gone, we talked about him....not really, Ed!  Everyone did agree that he is an interesting guy and they enjoy his company.  (I agree wholeheartedly!)
