Hey Gwen,

I've been to Chanute AFB in Rantoul! My friend was stationed there (1984 or 85)and I drove down there to pick her up so she could visit her parents over the weekend (Yorkville, IL). I got stopped by the military police when I was driving through the base...scary!!!!

Oh, yes, and I STILL miss Lake Superior, but at least we go up there for little trips pretty often. We are planning another trip up north pretty soon.

Do you still fly???

Also...when I first heard "The Wreck.." it was late Fall, 1976. The weather and season was perfect to put you in the mood for that song.
