| Nanette and Myself |
After returning home from the magical Idaho reunion, I went down to my basement to look for some tapes or other remnants of packages sent to me by my Ida-hoes. I found lots of letters, but no tapes. It seems to me that Paul and I sent them significantly more packages than they sent to us. But there were four of them and only 2 of us, so they probably remember it differently.

I was fond of receiving it. In some of the artwork, she labels drawings of herself as Randy. In the picture above you will see "Randy" playing football with Gordon. Was there really someone named Mona who had a red jeep? Why does that sound so entirely unfamiliar, Randy? I am in love with the sharks hiding behind the trees, ready to pounce on the unsuspecting picnickers. In addition to these outstanding memories, I found an envelope which had numerous drawings in pencil on the back. One of those was particularly entertaining to me. Nanette! err.. Randy! What the heck goes on in that noggin of yours?
I remember saying "Mona in a Red Jeep". I don't remember why. I'm just guessing, but maybe Nan called herself Randy because that's how she was feeling. Just an idea.
ReplyDeleteI don't mind saying..I was a fantastic artist. As for the name... I had a neighbor my first year in college that kept calling me Randy for some reason. Not sure why it stuck for a while.. Anyhoo, I am Nanette and you may continue to call me that. By the way... nice pic of me and Joel eh?
ReplyDeleteNan- she called u Randy cuz(if memory serves wich is rare) you looked like her cousin or bff,from back home...not sure....But I definently remember Randy, wasn't there a song we made up for that, or poem?=)
