I hope you saw my post. I found the class standing on Scrux under a student quote by FEB. Here it is. I can't do a tiny url so if you need it you will have to ask Klaas or San.

Frances Ellen Byrd:  Well, I first met Natalee in eighth grade when we had a welcoming party for her.  She moved here from Mississippi.  And, ever since then, I have just been closest friends with her, as well as a few other of all of our good friends.  Everybody in the school loves Natalee.  Nobody can say anything bad about her.  She is a straight-A student, 25 in a class out of 300 students in a very—school where we studied very hard.  She is very—has very many honors.  She is in dance team, Bible study.   Basically, she is a very responsible, well-loved child to everyone here.

Thanks Sam,I got it.Appreciate it much.

The only subject I could see Joran excelling in, would be The Art Of Manipulation.

Beverly Sills died today.  Anyone remember her?

I do, a magnificent coloratura voice and spirit for the Metropolitan Opera. A great loss of an important icon.

A classy woman who did not reek of diva ~ down to earth in spite of world-wide fame and success.

Ok, no response.  But anyways,  Marlee is coming to Columbus and we are meeting up for the "Red, White and Boom"  4th of July celebration.  Biggest fireworks display in the Midwest!  

First time to meet a Monkey.  I'm excited!  

Ok, well by now.

Sorry Dihannah - I was busy playing in photoshop!  I was wondering who it was you were meeting up with!  Cool that you and Marlee are getting together!  You guys will have a blast!

Thanks Klaas.  We are excited.    I have photoshop and just got the "dummies" book for it.  No to figure out how to use it!

Yippie   Dihannah &  Marlee  on the Monkey Meet UP
Just be cautious  with any PIC's you decided to post.. here ... or any where for that matter   JMO.. of course
And NO   loud shouting at the fireworks ... Only soft ooooh's & aaaahs for you

truthseeker-

Here is the link to the roster for St Leo's 2006 men's tennis team, half of their players are from outside of the US?

http://www.saintleo.edu/SaintLeo/Templates/Inner.aspx?pid=2995&proxy.pid=9311

I have seen that happen at a lot of small schools.  Back when my son played JUCO ball he played against a team that only had 5 US born players out of 26 that were on the roster.

I am fine with it, just found it a high ratio that's all - I will say I don't think either of my children applied to any college with a GPA admission standard of 2.3 or an acceptable SAT of 900. I believe all required a 3.0 minimum if not a 3.5 from out of state and their high schools had average SAT's requirement exceeded 1,100 to 1,200.

Lala's do you know what UA's admission standards are? I fear we didn't go thru regular admissions and it's not on their site?

oh yeah -  just an observation.

If the boycott and the people who show up at the travel shows didn't work, Aruba wouldn't be looking for tourists from China and all parts.

Can you imagine the Arubans learning how to speak Chinese.... now that would be funny...

'What you don't speak papiamento'?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!

Maybe I'm corn-fused again
But I thought  Dihannah  was just getting over some throat surgery    
If she is Good to Go .. bye all means Raise the Roof on the Place

LOL!
I hope the Chinese don't get offended easily. You know, I hope they do not lose any children in Aruba.

And just think...if ALE had done the right thing in the very beginning this would have been over for them by now.  The outcome for Natalee would not have been any better I don't think, but tourism would have rebounded by now if they had just done their jobs and investigated the original suspects from the start.

Marlee and Dihannah, that is pretty cool that you two are meeting! I hope you have a wonderful time.

Thanks Elaine!  I have to teach her sign language so we can communicate.   Her voice still isn't back from the surgery.
