Last time I saw Bill was at a Guard meeting in the early 80’s. I see what I can find out!

Steve and Jimmy, I’ve learned that Bearcats can find out about almost anything. All we have to do is ask.

I did find out he has a Brandon Address.
He lives up at the Reservoir.
His sister lives a Eagle Lake.
His Aunt and Uncle were Mr and Mrs Charles (Tom) Thomas, who were at FHS as teachers for your FYI, Their son Jeff lives in Madison but I have no phones numbers on them.

The hunt goes on.

Hey guys I hate to be the bearer of bad news but I think that both of you will be wasting your time to try to get Bill to come back to Forest for anything. I had a long talk with Bill in 2020 at the Home Depot store in Brandon and he indicated to me very clearly that he has no immediate plans to come to back to Forest . I would love to be proven totally wrong but that’s just the situation as I see it.

I did talk with Bill today and had a good visit. He said he would think about it. That all I could do is ask, it was just good to talk. Mark you could be correct on him coming but he was asked. Mark you can come too! Now, you have been asked.

Jimmy you are in luck. Right now that date is open for me unless Taylor Swift calls me and needs a tour escort.

Great news Mark. You can do better than that ole Swift girl. Beside that we into the gals from the 60’s!’

See…..I just knew it! You put a few Bearcats on something and there is no telling what will happen! Not only have you made contact with a long lost buddy…..but now Taylor Swift has entered the picture. Now to get her to show up for Mark on the 15th! Who is going to handle that?

Re: Bill Bishop

Well while we’re trying to get ( as Pryor said) that ole Swift gal, let’s get Shania Twain for ole Steve.

Are we supposed to make a reservation at Foothills or with you?? Please count me in and, too, know that I’ll be glad to help in any way!
Glad you were able to catch up with Bill!

Lynda Sue I told Lou Ann last week of June or first week of July we will try to get a good count. Then we will let foothills know the head count.

We will put it out of this site and make a few calls too. Who coming! Maybe Kaye can help us with this?? Are you listening Kaye?
