Hey Steve, doin' alright, I guess.

I don't think I asked you this before...whose fellowship did you attend after I folded up mine when I left TWI? Or did you attend any afterwards?

Does anyone know Carol Ryan? That is her maiden name. Don't know her married name. She is from annapolis.

I knew her when I (briefly) lived in the Annapolis area. Like so many people from this area, I lost touch with them when they moved away and also when I left the Way. She and her mom and sisters were genuinely nice people. I hope she and her family are doing well.

Lindyhopper - :D-->

Federal Hill's a great place now (not like when I came here as a Worm over the Whirled Ambassprofisher).

Are you going to MICA again or a different school?

Exxie, with all the WOWsers we've had in this state, how did they get missed?

I've got an idea: next time you're down this way, we'll go to their houses, knock on the doors and, when they open them, say we're Jeremiah's Witlesses. Then we'll sing, "All Along the Watchtower".

Well, I didn't say it was a good idea. -->

Another 1 here, lindy.

Been here (or at least in the area) since the '75-'76 WOW wave.

Do you still work/live in the Bmore area?

Happy, wonderful birthday to you, ChattyKathy. Do you have anything special planned for today?

Kay,

Dave Matthews Band is one of my wife's favorite bands. Although she wasn't so enamored of their "Everyday" album, she remains a great fan of theirs. Try out "Busted Stuff" and "Before These Crowded Streets"; see what you think.

And if you get a chance to see them live - they put on a pretty good show.

Just wanted to say thanks, Dot. My wife tried the recipe this weekend and they came out wonderfully! Tasty, yummy, ummmmmm!

Where can we take this Cookies for Abundant Eating class?

Many, many happy returns of the day!

You're talking about Marty Bass on WJZ-TV. He's one of those broadcasters you either love or hate - not much middle ground with him.

Are you originally from Baltimore, or a "transplant" like myself?

chinson,

Parkville's the same - a few more businesses have closed along the major routes, but it remains residential for the most part. But how could you say it was unexciting with all the devil spirits and witchcraft covens operating in the area?

I know it's true - because the Way said it was so!

Honestly, Laleo, I don't remember hearing anything through our branch or limb about Baltimore being a witchcraft capital or filled with devil spurts. I guess they didn't trust the rank-and-file with that kind of spiritual-contest information. What a loss, huh?

I was sent there in the 1975-76 "wave". We have quite a large WOW branch that year, if memory serves me correctly.

Interesting about your living in the "ghetto"; the only place our "family" of five guys could find was an apartment complex near the intersections of Greenspring Avenue and Coldspring Lane. This, coincidentally, is not too far from the Zoo. We would go on our morning run around Druid Hill Park (god, I still hate running!) and then go off to our 20-hour-a week (yeah, right) jobs. Sometimes we would walk through the park at night, which, if you know the area, was pretty insane.

We actually lived fairly well, with only the occasional smashed window or car broken into, and the ever-cheerful "Go home, honky". The guys I lived with were easy to get along with, not hard-asses at all. In fact, I can't remember anyone in our WOW branch that I didn't like - but then, it was a different time, and different attitudes were more prevalent then, I guess.

Baltimore has changed much since I first came here. They're still trying to revitalize the downtown area, but any meaningful development pretty much stops at Harborplace. Still, there's lots of interesting places to go in the city.

I still love going to the Zoo. They've expanded it to have more open spaces for the animals, instead of keeping them cooped up in small cages.

I guess if I had to be sent somewhere, Baltimore was as good a place as any...and maybe better than some. And just remember, it was our stand as WOW Ambassadors that helped move the Word over the World!

chinson and laleo,

You all were WOWs in Baltimore also?

You have my sympathies.

*just kidding - Baltimore's not that bad*
