saw on your page that you recently joined csn&y. have enjoyed their music for years. thanks for post. hope your travels are enjoyable. bill

Was just having conversation with "Desarosa" (Daisy) King that CSN&Y were reason I picked up guitar as a kid - lyrics were flowing as we reminisced "Helpless" - "I still need a place to go, all my changes were there..."
thank you for dropping by with message - have you been to my website? http://www.mikalogue.com/ -- [URL no longer current ] I just rolled into Tucson yesterday evening - today I edit most recent photos and upload - tomorrow I look for a gig if endowments for mikalogue arts don't start rolling in, lol - take care, Michele

Please do, say hello now and then - and how about a profile photo? as a point of reference for the now and then - it has only been within the last one or two years that I've been in touch with any RJR/WS folk - been away so long - and even then, I wasn't the most outgoing creature - tell me more about yourself, family, etc. - unless you are intentionally below the grid, then I understand -

for the last few months. had major foot surgery last april. having tolay low- doctor home bound so i can heal. i found a list from you know you are from winston on rjrs classof 76 reunion internet page. links led me to facebook. i dont have the tools to upload photos- my old compaq computer is basically for internet use only,plus i have a printer. i worked for napa auto parts selling parts to garages & walkins. i dont know if you remember but i met you when you had talked to mr. pelech about wanting to work in the auditorium. several days later he asked me if i knew you & to see if you were still interested. i spoke to you in the lunch room & you said that you werent. yourphoto now is how i remember you. if you have your old annual- i am basically the same-just abigger version/ real short hair. if you know terry gilliam of monty python- was told once i resemble him. who knows. best wishes -bill

I am the antithesis of the "pack rat" - I haven't kept much over the years that wasn't critical to the present - that includes yearbooks and such - the images I do have I copied digitally and got rid of hard copies - after my mother died (back in April) I really did a major tossing of "stuff" - I don't have children and am sole survivor of my immediate family - there were a few things that I distributed while traveling in NC back in July/August, to secondary family members and dear old friends - everything I own now fits in the hatchback of my Kia and there is also a small storage unit in Clearwater that I really could do without - for some reason I couldn't let go of the 1933 Singer sewing machine that I bought for a song at an estate sale, lol - silly, because I'm geared for "the road" and extremely simple living - there's no good reason to hang on to that and the few other items that I (at the time) just wasn't ready to let go of. You know I'm living in Key West right now - I'm in a home rent free in exchange for housekeeping for a local hypnotherapist who's also working on her doctorate - good gig since rent in Key West is insane - and I have time to get out and make photographs and look for a part time job to pay for incidentals - other than that, I depend on donations through my website to keep things going - I built the site back in early June and have had just under 9,000 page visits since then - it doesn't pull down alot of bucks, but, as I mentioned, I live a simple life! That's kind of nutshell for me...
I don't have immediate access to the memory of the auditorium staff gig - hindsight, I should have gone for it; it would have been great experience for the years I would later spend in theatre studies -
talk to you later, Michele

dear michele, just wanted to say hello after awhile. still trying to heal from foot surgery- doctor says if i am good it should be healed around thanksgiving & can get out. hope you are well & good. bill
Michele Strub September 29, 2010 at 12:55pm
Bill, hang in there and heal well - good to hear from you - recovery, especially the lower extremities, is ever so tedious - besides facebook, what do you do to fight boredom? I know you must be looking forward to getting out - its been a while, hasn't it? Take care dear, all the best, Michele
