Hi Anthony, Yes Andy was in Bill's graduating class and his sister, Sophia. He did not date her because he said "he was afraid of Andy". ha ha..... (He is standing over my shoulder). During the last class reunion in 1998, we went to his Cafe on Main Street and had breakfast with a bunch from the class. How is he doing? Dick and Julia were with us and we met the others over there. Had a great time and good food. I suppose you have eaten there too!!!!!!!!! ----- Original Message ----- From: "anthony maupin" <tonyandebi1@yahoo.com> To: <MAUPIN-CHAT-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Wednesday, October 09, 2002 8:17 PM Subject: Re: [MAUPIN-CHAT] Just a Mother > hey carolyn > does bill know andy lambrose? > anthony > > > --- cafarmer <cafarmer@houston.rr.com> wrote: > > MOTHERS should be awarded MA (Masters in Achievement > > Research) and MD > > > > (Doctorate in Motherhood) both in fields of Child > > Development and Human > > Relations > > > > with PAY.
