Missouri, Branson April 9-16

My classmates Delbert and Noni Frericks put a mini Redfield High School Class of 1959 reunion together.  There was a ton of effort to plan this fantastic.  We attended six different shows in 4 days.  The shows included, SIX, Down Home Country, Haygoods, Red Hot & Blue, IT, and the 100 years of Branson Celebration.  Great choice of shows.  Six of the seven couples stayed at the Best Western Motel.  Kay and I stayed in our camper at the Treasure Lake RV park about a two blocks away from the Best Western.  We met the group each morning for a continental breakfast and in the evenings we usually got together for wine and snacks before heading the show.  It was good to see people from my class, and spend some time getting to know them again.  We should do this more often.  Again I want to thank Delbert and Noni for all the hard work they put into this reunion.

I can not believe I had the chance to talk to Buck Trent.  He is the best Banjo picker in the world.
