From Dick Mills as he travels the open waters...

This is from Dick Mills and his wife Libby as they continue on their "open waters" journey. He has written a lot about his travels in his blog and has many photos as he is today's version of "Travelin Man(and wife)". {by Ricky Nelson} I hope you all enjoy the loooonnnnggg blog and what he and his wife have encountered as he sails the high seas. It makes for some interesting reading. Thanks for the info Dick and Libby.

I finally took a look at your blog Kerry. Good job. Here's a short article you can post on your blog:Dick and Libby Mills (Libby Lowber, FM'63) send greetings to our class mates. I think Kerry (and Jackie and Chuck), are doing a good job with it. In 1962, who could have imagined such a way for friends to keep track of one another regardless of their current geographic location.We're writing today from New Bedford, Mass. We stopped here for two days to celebrate our 43rd anniversary. Since February, 2005, we have been retired and living aboard our sailboat Tarwathie. The cruising life makes for the most fun and affordable retirement life style that we can imagine. I don't think we could afford to be retired if we had to pay for a house or condo plus one or more cars; especially with $4 gas. For example, we use wind power heating/cooling for the boat. That means the wind carries us north in the summer and south in the winter. We'll keep doing it as long as our health holds out. Class mates can follow our exploits on our own blog dickandlibby.blogspot.com Be warned though, there's lots of stuff there -- more than 900 posts so far.Here's some recent pictures of us:http://picasaweb.google.com/dickandlibbymills/DickAndLibbySTarwathieCruisingLog/photo?authkey=b9kxJstyse4#5186130153398954786Libby on the beach, Green Turtle Cay, Bahamashttp://picasaweb.google.com/dickandlibbymills/DickAndLibbySTarwathieCruisingLog/photo?authkey=b9kxJstyse4#5186130153398954786Dick blowing his conch shell horn at sunset.I see that Kerry has a place in Daytona. Perhaps we'll stop to say hello one of these days. If any of the rest of you live near the water on the East Coast, let us know. We might be passing by your way.- Dick MillsSV Tarwathieblog: dickandlibby.blogspot.com

FM Alma Mater

Here is a link to the tune for our alma mater. Charlie Gough and Dorothy Crouch Clark were the first two to claim the "prize".

The song is called Aura Lee.

Celebrate the 4th

I hope everyone has a safe and happy 4th of July.

Enjoy the parades and family gatherings.

Thank members of the armed forces you see.

FM Alma Mater

Here is a trivia question for everyone. What is the name of the song that provides the tune for our alma mater? And no, it really has nothing to do with the great Elvis Pressley, sorry. Email me your answer, if you know.

Guarded by the old oak tree, Symbol of our goal.
Steadfast as our pride in thee, Its strength will write our scroll.

Fayetteville-Manlius Truth shall be thy light.
Pledge we now our loyalty To colors Green and White!

Raise we now our voice in song, To thee a tribute bring.
Join the ever-growing throng, Let all who love thee sing!

Fayetteville-Manlius Truth shall be thy light.
Pledge we now our loyalty To colors Green and White
