More humor!

As a young minister I was asked by a funeral director to hold a graveside service for a homeless man with no family or friends. The funeral was to be held at a cemetery way back in the country, and this man would be the first to be laid to rest there.

As I was not familiar with the backwoods area, I became lost; and being a typical man did not stop for directions.

I finally arrived an hour late. I saw the backhoe and the crew, that was eating lunch, but the hearse was nowhere in sight. I apologized to the workers for my tardiness, and stepped to the side of the open grave, where I saw the vault lid already in place.

I assured the workers I would not hold them up for long, but this was the proper thing to do. The workers gathered around, still eating their lunch.

I poured out my heart and soul. As I preached the workers began to say 'Amen,' 'Praise the Lord,' and 'Glory'! I preached, and I preached, like I'd never preached before from Genesis all the way to Revelations. I closed the lengthy service with a prayer and walked to my car.

As I was opening the door and taking off my coat, I overheard one of the workers saying to another, "I ain't never seen anything like that before, and I've been putting in septic tanks for twenty years."

:-) Have anything better?

Go Raiders!

Time for a little humor...

A lot of folks can't understand how we came to have an oil shortage here in our country.

Well, there's a very simple answer. Nobody bothered to check the oil. We just didn't know we were getting low.

The reason for that is purely geographical:

our oil is located in Alaska, California, Coastal Florida, Coastal Louisiana, Kansas, Oklahoma, Pennsylvania and Texas, but our dipsticks are located in Washington, DC!

Raider song

Hey Raiders!

I'm sure we all remember the BHS fight song, but if you are like me, you could use a refresher on some of the words. If I can find an audio link I will post it to help with the tune.

BLOOMINGTON HIGH SCHOOL CHEER SONG

Bloomington, we love thy name

We will bring thee greater fame

We're for you, yes, everyone

'Til the victory is won

Rah! Rah! Rah!

All for Bloomington, our cry,

All for B.H.S. or die.

Come stand as one and all your praises sing‑

For Bloomington the echoes ring.

Make sure and practice! :-)

Sorry I missed the big event!

Hey Guys,

Hope you all had a great time at the reunion! I made it to the 10th and 20th but was so sad to miss the 30th. I was in Europe with our two teenage boys and my mom for our summer vacation. I hope I will be able to attend the 40th with a little more notice. I live in Arizona but would be glad to help in anyway I can with the next one, just let me know. If anyone wants to email me my email is taterbug123@gmail.com.

Thanks for your hard work putting this together.

Great Job!

I want to thank Sue and the committee for putting on a great reunion. Thank you for your efforts! I would be happy to book a 70's band for the next reunuion at the Coliseum. Maybe also invite the class of 76 and 78 as well. Just a thought.

First Time Blogging

Thanks for setting this site up Bob. GREAT JOB!!! I really missed being at the reunion this year. I was on duty and couldn't find anyone to trade time with me. I did stop by with Engine 1 (Bloomington Fire), to say a quick hello, but we got a call for a rescue assist just as soon as I set foot inside the door, and I didn't make it back.

Hopefully I'll be able to catch up on how everyone is doing, now that you set this site up. I look forward to visiting online with you all. Take care.
