Ken Bell

Bruce:

Thanks for taking on the role of class secretary. I hope all is well with you.

I just wanted to give you an update of a recent gathering.

At the end of September, there was a mini-KA flickerball camp in Jacksonville. Bill McDade and Dave (Fly) Williams hosted Phil (Tex) Collins, Vance Christopher, Glen Ballard, Dave Thomas and Ken Bell for a weekend of football and fellowship. Glen was a real loser. On Saturday, we watched FSU dismantle Colorado. Ken is an FSU law grad and Glen's daughter attends Colo. Glen hoped for redemption on Sunday when we went to the Jaguar/Texan game. The OT loss was hard of the Texans. Bill has been with IBM for 30 years now. He heads their new employee training program in the U.S. Fly is still helping to run the family business which has extended relationships into China and South America. Vance and Glenn are practicing law in Houston. Dave is in-house counsel for a large nursing home company. After almost 18 years as a judge, Ken has left the Florida Supreme Court and returned to private practice in Pensacola.

If you need more details and much more humor, contact Bill and Dave.

Again, thanks!

Dear Bruce,

Hi, there. I like your class notes blog. I think that's a good way to handle this sort of info. Just don't require us to post photos, O.K.? Or at least not current ones.

Here's something you may or may not want to post if you have a slow news month.

Through circumstances beyond my control I've found myself doing a political blog. A friend who works for a Capitol Hill newspaper set me up. Obviously I'm not really a pundit, but the paper was looking for somebody who has an overseas perspective (warped though it may be). I think they're trying to expand their web readership. Unfortunately, it doesn't pay anything.

Here's the link:

Thanks for keeping up with people, Bruce.
