After a lot of haranguing I finally got Reed to write a little about his first week at the U of North Florida.--------------------My first week was a bit stressful but nothing I couldn't handle. I was in a much better position that a lot of other people in the department. I'm in Men's Chorus so that should be fun! Its already helping with my sight reading. The campus is really nice, but the parking lot is a bit far from where my classes are so I get a nice little workout in before my first class. Everything seemed to fall into place as far as classes so I didn't have to stress too much about that. All my teachers, and the department faculty in general are really good and helpful people. Jade's birthday was the same week so her and I went to Disney World to celebrate for the weekend. Had a blast! The rain was a bit of a pain. I was surprised at how little cover Disney provides from the rain, especially since we're in Florida. Maybe thats on purpose though. Get's people to buy umbrellas for $20. I'll send a couple pictures from disney. ------------------------------------

And another pic. This time the BH infield from 1972. Ron Erion French Camp CA, Tim Gusso Florence, Pat Peters Winner, and me.

Another Group of old BHSC baseball players L-R Jerry Donovan of Martin or Vetal, Terry Danialson Rapid City, Jim Stanage Ft Pierre, Dave Sasma Tracy CA, Tim Trimble Waukegan IL, Tim Smith Lodgepole, Gary Larson Pierre, John Juul Lennox, and Jim Schmidt Rapid City.

3 more Pics from BHSC baseball just so if these guys ever google themselves they can find them. L-R Paul Burleson, Talmadge, Ohio, Kim Travillyan, Buffalo, SD, Dave Sasma, Tracy CA, Al Nagel Spearfish SD, Gary Bereiter Zion IL, Jim Stanage Ft Pierre, and Todd Travillyan Buffalo SD, Lonnie Nordbye Rapid City SD, Joe Hurly Spearfish SD, Jerry Donovan Vetal SD.

Tuesday I participated in a local golf tournament here in Sioux Falls and really sucked, but the guys I was playing with didn't seem to mind too much and everybody had a good time. Here they are L-R Joel Christenen, Dean Putnam, Ted Takasaki, and Me. My cartmate, Ted Takasaki, is a local personality who makes his living, and I kid you not, as a professional fisherman. Many of the other golfers were obviously curious as to just how he does this in South Dakota. Some of it comes from fishing contests with the rest coming from sponsorships, etc. But he is the first guy I've known who was in the Freshwater Fishing Hall of Fame. He did know old WHS classmate Gary Howey of Outdoorsmen Adventures TV fame.

Here's a pic from Winona Cook Hall at BHSC. Me and the new daughter of our dorm parents Ray and Sandee Greene. Her name is Shannon and we're never going to tell her I dropped her on her head one time.

So here's another one from the old BHSC days. The captions reads--Brothers, four sets of them in fact are on the football team at Black Hills State College this fall. In the back row are the older brothers, left to right, Bill Shell, BuffLO WYO,; Ralph Meyer, Watertown; Keith Glanzer, Sioux Falls, and Mike Murphy, Watertown. "Little" brothers in the front row are Ken Shell, Joe Meyer, Ty Glanzer and Doug Murphy. Black Hills opened its 1971 season with a 13-8 victory over Montana Tech Saturday as Mike Murphy passed for one touchdown and ran for another.
