Never thought that I would EVER hear about an Incirlik reunion! I am not sure if I can attend this time, but I hope any old friends who see this will email me and see if we can catch up! If anyone knows where Renee Lowney is, tell her to write me.

Favorite Song: "She's a Brick HOUSE" by: not sure/cool song tho!
I just read through the majority of the last several years of the IHS Guestbook (yeah, I have no life! Ha) Terrific entries...VEGAS looks like it's gonna be a riot! What a rowdy crew we Hodjas were and ARE! (Quirky Observation: Checked out the Photo Galleries...has anyone noted just how much we flipped-off the camera in the '70's (or was that the photographer)?! Hysterically, about 20% of the time. LOL Thanks to Peggy, Cary, Kim and the whole reunion gang for making this website & Vegas '06' possible....I simply can't wait, ya'll seem like great people! Eventhough most of you probably won't know me or will maybe only recognize me as Neil and Leslie Angle's punk kid sister, VEGAS sounds like it's gonna be a BLAST!!! COME ONE COME ALL!
Most of all, thank you to the best big sister in the whole world for making my Vegas Reunion possible!
Thanks to all the Guestbookers....your comments brought back a wonderful blast from the past! Other Turkeyisms gone but not forgotten: 'Two digit midget', Meysu, Eckmek(sp?), Sea School (Did anyone else get to go in '77'?), and last but not least...loads of camels in huge yellow dump trucks! (What a trip the first time ya see one of those.LOL) We are all better people because of our Turkey experiences...Viva Hodjas...and see ya in VEGAS BABY!!!

Peggy,
My heart cries out for you, as you know our son, Jimmy, was only 10 when kiled at incirlik in 1977 from a bike & truck accident.. From one MOM to another MOM; my prayers are with you and your family for the loss of your son. Know that prayers are being said all around the world for you. One never gets over the loss of a child but learns to place him in that special corner of your heart where he will live forever. Much love, Barbara Beebe

I would like to see Dallas Mav's and Miami Heat go to the finals and of course Dallas wins it all ... then to pick it up in the NFL with the same teams ... All around Dallas year.... For everyone I will miss at the reunion - I am sorry but this is my first summer back in New York and having the greatest time with my boys (Nick at 14 and Tommy is 6 yrs old) My daughter is to busy wanting to be with her boyfriend and no time for anyone else...

Ewwwww Yuk!... I think I just threw up in my mouth a little.... Frank, Brad, and Mark in the same sentence (fragments) as the word Speedo..... Though I have been prepping for the ?Second Inaugural All Male Review?, swimming togs is more my (body?s) style than a Speedo (You know, a washboard stomach on a man in his 40's signifies one of two things, either he's a professional body builder, or he's switched teams...). Now, to be fair, this year should be the First Inaugural All Babe Review, complete with bikinis, short shorts, wet T-shirts, and/or frilly lingerie. It is Vegas after all!

(As appears in the Urban Dictionary)

1. Mankini

A one piece t-back style bathing suit which is supported around the shoulders much like suspenders. Seen on gay friendly beaches all over the world. Only to be worn by the most flaaaaaaayming fags. If you are seen wearing a mankini you are the poster boy for gays......some people might call you faggadocious.......some might even say you are starving a for tube steak smothered in underwear or you are training to suck el-dicko. Everyone will see you as a dung punching ass bandit.

Brad, you are getting really deep. I'm sure you didn't learn those big words while in the military. If I were gay, my nipples would be hard enough to cut glass. : )

Hope everyone is gearing up for the little get together in Vegas. What's the matter Debbie Jampole and Debby English you don't like us anymore? It's a shame the two of you only used us for our bodies in high school, and then forget about us later. : ) I'm sure other guy's from the Lik can relate to that.

Whoa! Let the games begin! Even a little early. Wanted to post a couple of things. First, I have delayed late registration fees until June 15th due to the fact that I have been unavailable to answer emails regarding registration. I will send out an email about that later to everyone, so just ignore if it does not apply to you. Also, have some registrations to fill you in on...Diana Greer (I think I posted her earlier), Jeff Pidgeon, Cheryl Carney, Neil Garrett, Florida Sanderson, Mark Sanderson, and Mr. & Mrs. Sanderson! Thanks for registering, and we can't wait to see you in July! Also, I have received notification for registration of Edythe West, Greg Lozaga, and a crew from the 80's! Many more on the way!

Also it causes all, both small and great, both rich and poor, both free and slave, to be marked on the right hand or the forehead, so that no one can buy or sell who does not have the mark, that is, the name of the beast or the number of his name. This calls for wisdom: let anyone with the understanding calculate the number of the beast, for it is the number of a person. Its number is six hundred and sixty-six.

I can't wait to see Laurie's Coyote Ugly show (we have a huge bar in the hospitality suite!), and Leslie...well, Leslie...I can't think of a better time than getting kicked out of a bar with you! I hate I missed the Austin thing! Bev...you sound like you are just what the doctor ordered! You already feel like family to me. Kim...forever my partner in crime! Never a dull moment with you, and many more to come. We'll talk Italy later! Now I don't feel like some sicko because I know that I am not the only one who wants to see Brad in a mankini!!! I thought I was just messed up! Better yet, having Frank, David, Mike, Doug and Brad wearing mankinis while Laurie is doing her Coyote Ugly skit in the hospitality suite while Leslie, Bev, Rosanne, Kim and I all get kicked out for lewd behavior! Sounds like a blast! We have Tony, Teresa, Susan, Karen and Kelly to bail us all out of jail so no worries! I love you all! Your good medicine.

Joe Nielson - Glad to see you found our site. What years were you in Turkey? and now for the important question...Are you coming to Vegas with the rest of us nuts? If so, only ONE MORE DAY TO REGISTER...don't delay, just do it~register now! Hope to see you there! Can't wait to meet all you new registrars...and everyone really!
Frank, funny she called you the Ringleader...pretty sure it's gonna be a '3-ring' Circus Circus with all of the showstoppers (Laurie,Brad,Peggy, etc. etc.) and wild animals(i.e. Leslie):) Now we'll know where to get direction from!
David and Kim....innocent? I hardly think! A little birdie also told me that Kim specifically requested a room with a hot tub...hmmmmm?! Innocent, um-hmm, yeah right! ;) And David, I'm plannin' to fill Peggy full of Leslie's special Margarita mix and then no doubt the juicy stories will flow...LOL
Laurie, I'm sure the grand finale will revolve around your coyote ugly show (I'd like to register for lessons now please.)
And finally, Brad, I've always said "Real Men wear Purple!" I hear they have a show in Vegas that you'd be interested in trying out for...it's called 'Thunder Down Under'! I'd just luuuuv to play you a game of pool! (grin)
Well Hodjas...hope everyone is gearing up for the Luau ~ I Can't seem to find a full-length grass skirt yet and marble size coconuts are hard to find in Lubbock, but I'm still lookin'. LOL! I'm eatin',sleepin' and breathin' Vegas right now! How bout ya'll?!!! Viva Las Vegas, Baby! Turn down the lights, lower the trapeeze, wheel out the cannon ~ and let the SHOW BEGIN!

Peggy & Kim: Your CDs were mailed this afternoon (3-4 days delivery. Hope this allows enough time for you Peggy to get your surprise ready? Also, USPS Money Order enclosed).
Looking at everyone's responses, sounds like Vegas could turn into the west coast version of "Austin City Lights"! Looking forward to seeing all you Hodja alumni (you really did make my tour at Incirlik enjoyable and memorable). Some of you know about the CD; but for those that don't (I don't have your email addy), I've just burned 300+ (color & B/W) pictures; 99% are of YOU ALUMNI. Also included are some pictures Cindy (Ferreira) taken during her reign as yearbook staff photographer. CDs will be handed-out to those wanting one during the reunion. Those not attending the reunion can still get a CD by sending me your snail mail address (some I already have). Unfortuantely, not every student was captured on film; but there are shots from: classroom, campus, faculty/staff, tennis, wrestling, basketball, track, gymnastics, softball, homecoming, Adana, the beach, and at POOL SIDE!! Anyone with younger brothers/sisters may also be on these. Hope everyone enjoys the pics and memorable times of our more youthful years. Byron (Randolph) lives ten miles from me but won't be making the reunion this year. Kerry (Armstrong) Damore lives nearby but not sure if she'll make the reunion. Laurie: I'm just south of you; surely Folsom has changed over the last 20 years! Mike: I'll bring your (NHRA) pics I enlarged but never mailed. Cindy: Bring your Raider gear (is July too early to start celebrating?)! Until next month....have a safe, relaxing, and enjoyable day! Greg (Coach) Oh yeah, sorry for the vague answer (Fav ol' Song)...just too many to list! I knew many of the bands and/or musicians from the 60s/70s (Linda Ronstadt, Eagles, Olivia, Santana, The Mama's & The Papa's, Iron Butterfly, Stevie Nicks, and The Yardbirds (pre-Zeppelin) to name a few).

Hi Everyone! Have a couple more registrations to few you in on. Elia Enochian, Greg Lozaga and Carla Sylvester have jumped on board! Can't wait to see you all! Have a few that are interested in a bike/car trip to Hoover Dam possible on AM of Thursday (July 20th). Anyone else interested?

Well here is the Angle Approach! Leslie and Beverly have decided that they would like to take a motorcycle trip to Hoover Dam for a tour of the damn dam. Cary had previously indicated that he will be renting a motorcycle for the day while in Vegas since I won't let him drive ours there (ALL THE WAY FROM GEORGIA!!!!) So, we decided to invite everyone who would like to go, whether by car or bike, and add this as another side trip to the reunion. I have found a rental company that rents both cars and bikes at fairly reasonable rates. Motorcycles are $99 for five hours, or $139 per day, cars start at $49 depending on whether you want to be Mario Andretti for a day, or Paris Hilton. I think if we have quite a few to rent, I may can negotiate a group discount. However, I would need to know something pretty quick, and you would need to be prepared to contact the rental company to secure your choice via a credit card.

I told Cary (who is in Texas missing all the fun) that their motorhome has added about a 1000(heated and cooled) square footage to our property! It's a monster! We are having a great time!

The neighbor kids will remember this as the poor old drunk lady with the nice yard who use to pull the kids in a trailewr around the neiborhood with a riding lawn mower when her husband was out of town. Joe Nielsen and i met up in KC yesterday and had a great visit. We did attempt to be the voice of moderation for those Atlanta girls-who were starting early again yesterday. We were not successful in our no drinking safety briefing. Joe and i of course resisted the temptation from the liquid spirits-which furthers my theory that it was always the girls getting me in trouble in Turkey.

Of course being the voice of moderation and having stepped into the role of safety officer-i feel inclinded to review all material.

Most just call me an "ass man". You know i have a warm feeling inside and feel i'm contributing to the group cause by volunteering to do this. Man i love the way you all make me feel-so much that i will review any "ass shots" that might be available from this group of ours-please my experience is only limited to the female speices. I might addd that i'm certain we could achieve collaboration within this group-are any of you skilled in the breast area? Please don't reply if your expwerience is limited to nursing while a child.

Hospitality Suite...just to make sure we are all on the same page. If you come to the hospitality suite and you are not coming to any of the events there will be a 20.00 charge, if you are registered for events but not staying at hotel there will be a 10.00 charge for hospitality use. The hospitality suite is being paid for by room block nites and through part of the registration fee and whatever is leftover comes out of our pockets. I hope this doesn't offend anyone, but I have received comments from some that they just want to party in the suite and thats it. When I become rich and famous I'll pay everyones way but until that time.......

Kimee!!!! You go girl! I know you always got my back!!! I'm with you 100%. I hope that no takes offense, but until you actually put on one of these reunions, you have absolutely no clue how much it costs. Chris knows! We try to ensure that we have everything to accomodate everyone. Unfortunately, fun things in life are not free!! It will be worth every penny though! For those of you who plan to attend any of the events, there will be a late fee charged due to the fact that our caterers charge us more for people who are not accounted for in our original headcounts. WARNING! The hotel catering will charge 1 1/2 times the original cost for those not included in the original headcount. That additional charge will be absorbed by those who are not registered in advance.....not those who are registered!

(ankle high, knee high and on good days shoulder high)
I would love to have another reunion on the East side. People living on the west coast would be a little upset though. Charleston and Savannah are awesome places to visit and would make a great location. Only problem is, it's a massive amount of work, money and frustration to put together. Not everyone is nice or polite that lived at the Lik. Thank God for the planners like Peggy, Cary, Kim, Denise and the others who put it together.

Okay, if Debbie Jampole is coming to the reunion, I'm not allowed to come. After the second time Debbie and I were 'detained' by the MPs, my parents forbid me to ever hang out with her again. :-( So, unless Debbie promises to not lead me astray - again!, I'll have to stay home - NOT! Deb,I'm so psyched about seeing you again - I don't know how we kept gettin' in trouble! But the MPs were so cool about it - until the parental units arrived... Damn, those were the good ol' days. I haven't been detained again since - but life's short and there's still vegas.
I know most of you don't remember me, but I was lyin' low in the background and remember lots of you guys - maybe this time I'll leave an impression :-)

Hahaha-well it's back down to the strip and walking and drinking and just checking things out-hey this Vegas RECON/pre-party is not that bad-hot tub again 0300 PST room 2791. Got the beer iced down in one of the sinks-got some late night munchies too-come on let's go

I never even HEARD about you and Debbie getting into trouble.... let alone being in trouble myself. There was that flashing incident in Ankara but that doesn't count.

Doug - Are you sure you're not from the east side? Nothin' better than a pig in the ground and beer on ice!

Frank - It would be awsome if you could go by Kelly's and get a quart of their mustard sauce. These Yankees and left-coasters will never be the same.

It's 2150 here-just got back from some real life recon- did something constructive-it's a long walk from Ceasers to Circus-Circus. On that end of the strip the prices are much better. Bring good walking shoes. The beer is cheaper, more choices for food at a better price and it's better tasting. May be my last night her as i need to try and get back to KC a day early if possible-but it's been fun and really has increased my anxiousness for our reunion. The powers to be chose well in my opinion. Well i'm looking forward to my next trip, because you all will be here to help me enjoy, remember and relive some awesome times in our past. A festive time in a festive location with the most festive group i know. Gonna be great.

What a flurry-seems as though the stars are aligning us because once again i'm out cooking wings and peppers and of course a few frosty's. Did the Mongolian thing with Jay and Leslie. They did the blue and white at Kaufman. Left Peg a message-no answer-that whole beach house thing. I think she is relaxing before that final push organizing everything wo we can have fun. Not sure about someone from Alaska speaking Hawwiain-Ok good recipe but too many suds. Making double time tomorrow-her stock is going up-it's all about earning power at this stage in life. This Kim chick is looking good. I saved the panty hose. Will make them a door prize. Thought about a room just for those females who aspire to well we never did finish that conversation. Conspired for the sake of some of ours in dire need. Gotta love the whole Texas legal thing thing. Have a whole new outlook on conspiracy now-it was fun. Hope everyone has a great fourth-loved the mall thing with L & J. Am tring to limit the travel until the 18th but may end up going East first-Atlanta is looking like a turn around again. I really hate this work thing messing with my play time. 18th cannot get here fast enough. How many folks coming in on the 18th like hot and spicy-trying to scheme a way to bring some wings and peppers. Does L&J have a stove for reheating? Do we need a ice chest in the room for beer? Just thoughts i have this late in the evening.

Sleep is over rated. Didn't rain here until about 0400-i did some porch sitting like any good hillbilly and enjoyed it-wish it had been more but every little bit helps the garden. I belive adversity builds character so i have assumed the role of chief character builder for the young love birds-haha-i love this role. I need more teenagers. This afternoon i will be surrounded by teenagers-let the games begin-so much fun. We had a great time too-Glad to hear the ole Show Me Mo. is in your future again. While i was grilling and slugging them back the ole mind was brainstorming on how i layout my lake cabin with RV and connectivity concerns. Get you all down in the Ozarks and then we will really have a blast. Maybe even get some of them banjo pickin folks of mine to stop by and see your highway house. I'm glad to hear about the tubs-i was planning on bringing my cooler-cause gotta have beer on ice. I'm betting we can end up swimming and scrubbin in them tubs. I actually think i can make a pan of peppers and wings-=freeze them and carry them on the plane-they will thaw in time to heat them up for the night of the 18th. Gotta straw poll and see who likes spicy? I think Peg is still playing at that place where they broke all the hour glasses-lucky gal. Now what's this i hear?-got a Texas girl and a relocated Cajun in Alaska trying to speak Hawwaiian. Closest i can come to Hawwaiian is "Voodoo Pounanny" And well that is just a universal warning for us guys. And where have I been?-everyone seems to know about Merrill's. Great reviews too! I feel like i have been in a time warp for 17yrs. Would love to get this group on a float trip down here on one of our crystal clear Ozark streams. Hey i was just wettin my whistle with that whole conspiracy thing-we need to start that up again-good for laughs-i'm sure i need a babysitter in 1416-maybe knock that lady holding them scales out of kilter. Kids are making cup cakes and Les has the frill going-gonna be a suds filled fourth with some good chow-sorry you all couldn't stay for another day. Have you broke out Roy D Mercer yet-remember we are trading in the sandy hot place. I just put Roy on and it's time to pee-my sides hurt. Be safe folks.

Feelings of inadequacy? Shyness? Wish you were more assertive?

Ask your doctor about Tequila®, the natural way to feel more confident.

Tequila® will ease you out of shyness and tell the world that you're willing to do anything. And Tequila® works almost immediately.

With a regimen of regular doses, shyness and awkwardness become a thing of the past and you'll discover talents you never knew you had.

WARNING: Tequila® may not be right for everyone.

Pregnant and nursing women should not use Tequila® although women who want to become pregnant should give it a try.

Side effects include dizziness, nausea, vomiting, incarceration, erotic lust, loss of motor control, loss of clothing, loss of money, loss of virginity, delusions of grandeur, table dancing, headaches, dehydration, dry mouth, a desire to sing karaoke, and may lead to all-night bouts of
truth or dare, strip poker, or naked twister.

I heard another side effect from Tequila could be waking up naked on a floating dock in a lake, in May, in a 50 degree rain with about 500 people on shore cheering you on as you swim in vomiting. Not sure if there is an antidote to this posion, "maybe just say no" I'm told it's contagious when others are drinking it in near vicinity.

Beverly, Mr Busch helps me with my entries-because i heed advice i do not consume Tequila-i learned from my friend's dock experience while he was attending a national aquatic school in 1977. I have asked him to step forward and provide us with more details but he remains steadfast in insisting on proper representation prior to further disclosure on this subject. I would be willing to lend my objectivity to any study concerning this beverage-in particular i'm interested in the effects on the female of our species. If i had to specialize it would be in the area of single female. My observation skills are honed and i'm sure i could properly articulate my observations.
I of course also know CPR if required.

Bev - do I detect a wager coming on? Perhaps mixing two muses; golf and pool. Each hole (pocket) will cost the losing opponent a shot of..... Tequila®. That should make for an entertaining, though short game.

All - Please be aware of a debilitating side-effect of Tequila®. This applies primarily to the fairer sex, though it has been observed in some effeminate males. What I am referring to is the cry-blubber-cry-blubber (or CB CB) syndrome. The most common blubber is reported to be variants of "I love you" or "I love you man", or "I love you guys" (though the actual words are sometimes hard to understand).

Needless to say, this syndrome is quite a hilarity for those not suffering, though quite embarrassing for the sufferer even days and perhaps years later.

Just though you should know. "I love you guys".

Brad-Congrats on the pup. Girls-1st my hair is too short to be confused with a bear-second i would never leave scraps. Leslie you said be nice-now i understand.
What teamwork-Kim and Bev provoke-i respond-Leslie reads to Peg while she is road trippin-Peg dictates back and then Leslie enters-what a team we have here. I'll bet we won't be able to walk in step in Vegas. Girls i'm merely the observer of this scientific project-so i'm not recruiting subjects to be studied-however i'm recruiting other observers-males only please. You know on second thought maybe i should collaborate with my fellow male Hodja colleagues-we might be able to develop an audition with a dress code for picking study subjects. Let's table this until i get some more input from the guys.

Hey there Bev, I think the pig turning was just talk. I have to admit, it would be pretty cool, but a bus load of work. We can always go out looking for a BBQ joint while there.

Frontier has a Gilley's in it-BBQ is Ok and prices are decent. Just down the street. Surely the caterer will be serving pork. Pig on a stick would be great, but it is alot of work. We do one here occasionally-not often enough. I miss being a kid and the squadrons doing them-when we were in Puerto Rico-seemed like they were every weekend in the summer. I like to float and just out of curiosity the last couple of days i checked on what kind of money it would take to do one in 2007. If i planned it 9 months out then airfare and all would run about $500-$600.. For a 4 day event-thats camping (spartan cabins), travel, canoes, food and maybe beverage. I do an annual one in mid July-in fact this years is the 14,15 and 16 of July-we have a group of 30-60 who have been at it 15yrs. We have a blast and it is one wild party. All military or retired and their friends and family. There are good rivers East, West and Central US so we could figure out where the intrest is at and try to put one together-of course it would not be the event the Alumni does, but a way to get together in the off yrs at a reasonable price. I'm always up to hosting something in the Ozarks. Something to think about and i'm sure some of you have some other gathering ideas.

Peggy, Dante says he'll either be flying on the 16th or driving on the 20th...either way he'll be attending all the events, so count him in.

OK Hodjas,
It's a tough night here in the ER. Itchy ass, My ass hurts, sore throat, I'm too drunk to drive, do you know when is it gonna rain? my stomach hurts and my favorite-my penile implant is messed up. So my doc and I did a little research and came up with this game that should help us in preparation for Vegas. It sure helped us get through the night of silly complaints. See this web site: http://www.wagenschenke.ch/

Then you want to click on the third picture (play homerun 2004)
Click on the start placard and use your mouse to control the drunk. How far did you get? Of course the hangover game is also interesting.

Have fun-i bet this is a great drinking game.

The short adverts at the bottom are also funny, it's from their "yeah right" campaign.

Try this again. First of all Debbie was the queen-there were others-the gymnastic girls for example and during one swim meet in Ankara it was almost non-stop on the bus-if the voodoo pounanny egg donor of mine had not purged my photo collection i could bring clear evidence. This is looking like there will be DNA axchanges, but since we are in the capitol of CSI maybe we can get some discount on DNA cutures in a petri to take home for further growth. Lauren is discovering that there is more to her dad than this hillbilly scholar she thinks i am and she is begining to hear stories from my friends about the "young Doug" so certainly she will learn more on this trip-i can say that while she will not be viewing-there will be a moon over Hoover, and maybe at the Circus. Only now like Jeff Foxworthy points out at 47yo it's more like a frogs butt.
One should not go to the desert without viewing the celestial bodies. The rule should be if a moon is shot it must be returned.

Menu for tonights pre-Vegas workout. Hickory smoked country style ribs, Fresh picked garden green beans, Fresh picked tomatoes and cucumbers in zesty italian dressing. And for desert fresh picked blackberries in a homemade cobller crust. Of course Mr. Busch lite will be in attendance. Since it's a full moon tonight-then some beverage and meditation is on order while watering the garden-preparation is physical, mental and emotional. In two weeks most of us will be hungover on the plane home-saying WOW-the girls throw one hell of a party.

I take a weekend away to a nearby baby casino and the party goes on without me...speaking of heavenly bodies...the NM desert had a full moon on Sat...please, DON'T ASK! Two Long Islands too many...I'll stick to Zin. (oooooo my head still hurts) Raquel & Michelle, Welcome Aboard this CrAzY TrAiN! Peg, do the twins have names? We could have a twin naming contest, that would be fun! Oh Kimi, on second thought, I might just have to try your suggested beverage...any refreshment with the words Orgasm and Multiple in the title sounds like just what the doctor ordered!!!

Anyone remember Todd Wagner? He lived in ICDI from 73-75...Lives about 15 minutes away from me, and emailed me from seeing my name on the website...He's not coming to the reunion, but wanted me to say """Haaay" to all who remembers him & his family. He has a "75 yearbook from Incirlik, do we have that one? Looking forward to seeing y'all on Saturday!

It's with a split heart that i reply-on one hand i expected a great fight and loud uproar from those Hodja women with a skewed and misinformed view of the natural order and on the other hand i'm relieved that you seemingly have become your naturally submissive selves, as it should be. I was afraid from the initial replies that this would be a lengthy process with difficult students who were resistant to fact based training and teachings. A sigh of relief that you rapidly came to your senses. Now we can get on to important items like what the dress code will be for the judging. Let's reward your good behavior with a choice-tube tops or halters?

Girls-girls-girls. The problem with you notching this up will of course then be -how will Doug retaliate back? Might ought to think about that before you engage in this Hatfield/McCoy like behavior. This warning comes from a practical jokster who has been at this for over 30yrs-who has in his DNA stunts like-changing passports, cutting orders for someone to attend schools, promotion or transfer, painting someones house while they were on vacation, painting someones car, jello in the toilets, removing someones grass from their yard, putting their house on the market and 1000's of other little jokes and paybacks. Just so you are warned and fully aware that i love to play. But if you are sure that you want to go down this fruitless path over an issue steeped in biological fact and historical precedence then roll up your sleeves, dig in and let's go. My mouth is watering at the thought of digging into my hillbilly scholar practical joke toolbox. I love Hodja girls-still keeping me on my toes after all these years. I'm so laughing-quit teasing me with promisies of games. Last chance to submit like good little girls.

Rita girls-Look progress before the official school starts-of course you don't know words like submission, girls don't need a "vocabulary" other than three letter/one syllable words like "yes" and "sir". Advanced girls need two syllable like "master". And just when i thought we had progress-that whole shoe thing-you know that actually it's "barefoot"-you don't need no stinking shoes. I'm a little excited i have fond memories of Hodja girls getting a hold of me. That whole scared thing-like any All American Hodja boy would say to a Hodja girl-"there's no reason to be scared-trust me" Hahhaha
Brad the list is familiar to me as the recipe for encouraging compliance with girls, or maybe liquid courage for them before the wet "T" shirt contest.
There are several store options for beverage and other needs on that end of the strip. T & A are great assets. Silly girls-there isn't suppose to be more. It's party prep time for my float trip tomorrow-50# of wings and 200 stuffed Jalepenos-of course i'll need a few frosty's-(i'll keep my eye open for the razor) NO FEAR.

For the record-two words do not make two syllables!!!!Silly girls. Miss Pegrita-you should know better than to attempt to undermine the subversion expert by trying to conspire with my daughter-my own flesh and blood-how shameful. I'M BACK!!! 3 days on clear, spring fed ozark streams-with copious amounts of beverage and incredibly wild people and i'm close to being fully prepared for the Vegas games. 103 here at 1845 with humidity-Vegas has to be better. 48rhs from now and the Staas clan will be headed West. Update on the panties-they made an appearance cliff jumping and other selective events during this past weekend-they are ready for the photo op's on the strip. The float trip was awesome-best ever-we have reached a new low.

Just printed my boarding passes. The Staas clan will be arriving by Southwest flight 1315 from Kansas City at 1855 (6:55 PM). Anyone wanting to hook up and share a cab or other let me know. Remember we want a group less than 10 to avoid charges at the hotel. Plan one being in the hospitality suite by 2000hrs with a frosty. You can identify me by the group carrying the backpacks with a 16yo daughter and 18yo son-i'm the old gray fart wearing a rubber duck floaty around his waist and straw hat that looks like he needs a beer.

As i was watering the garden tonight i thought about our upcoming event. I'm as excited as you are to have this opportunity to get together. As the sun comes up accross this nation of our, Hodjas will begin traveling. In fact some are already there. But as i type this-Hodjas are also awakening in other places around the world-there are of course those there at Incirlik now-but more important are those in foxholes, bunkers, aircraft, armored vehicles, rear areas, supply depots and IT centers and even here CONUS that are supporting this war on terrorism-they will be up and at it long before we began our travels to party, in fact their presence allows us to do what we are getting ready to do. So as you travel-be safe and think of those who are standing on watch everywhere-who knew blue and white in a special place called Incirlik. Can't wait to see ya all.

Please learn this whole urinal ALPHA thing-get it straight and everything will be OK-oh yeah and stop whining about that whole seat thing. We can continue this dialogue later tonight-after you get me a beer. I can't stop laughing-i almost don't believe i really said that-but i did.

Peggy and Kim, you did a wonderful job putting this together and making it all run so smooth. We ALL appreciate all of the time, effort and hard work that you guys did to make it happen. I also want to thank Deniz, Leslie, Jay and Charmaine for all of your hard work. You guys were also a big part of this and it wouldn't have been as much fun without you. Also a special thanks to Eddie for all of his tireless work and local knowledge that made this happen. Your alright for an "80's" guy. For all of you Hodjas that weren't there,(i.e. my sister Debbie. I get tired of having to answer: where's Debbie?), I just hope that one day you learn that we really are telling the truth and you guys are missing out on some special times. If any of you are ever down aroung Fort Worth, please call and let's see if we can hook up. Teresa and I miss all of you already and can't wait to see you again!!

Arrived home. Good flight, although, one piece of luggage was lost to no-mans land. Was just delivered. I also wanted to send my thanks to all of those listed above, but most importantly to all of you who attended. EVERYONE deserves love and thanks from ALL of us. Without all of us, there would be no alumni, and there would be no reunions, and there would be no special memories of Donnie and Phillip (those in attandance know what I am referring to), and no memories of Margarittaville (a place I am considering using as my own personal residence). Despite some issues, I think the reunion was a huge success. The point is to have a great time and to create knew and lasting memories. Mission accomplished. I have some awards to send out. One of which was to ce presented to Bruce Beebe during the event, but one margarita, two magaritas, one belly-dancer, two belly-dancers, what did you say my name is????, later, and I regretfully forgot to give Bruce his award. I love you very much Bruce, and I appreciate everything you do for me, our alumni, and our country. I'm sorry for the cluster-you-know-what, and will have your award sent to you soon. I will be sending out an email to all very soon, just as soon as I can get my Peki-Lou-Woo butt together.

Welcome back Brad! I have been trying to get a good email address for you, so I was happy to see your entry! I have changed that in our database, and will upload today. In the process of making some changes to the functionality of the site now that the reunion is behind me and I have some time. Hope all you reunion go-ers are recovering! We were proud to have four Honorary Hodjas inducted into our alumni this past reunion. Although we have just started to recognize those inducted a little more formally this year, we have often recognized the efforts of the guests of alumni who go above and beyond for the benefit of our alumni members. Past Honorary Hodjas include: Teresa "The Bull-Dog" English (Honorary since 2004/Wife of Tony English) for all of her efforts at registration and in more ways that I could ever mention to you here; Luz "Mrs. DJ" Queen (Honorary since 2004/Wife of Chris Queen) for having to put up with Chris 24/7, 365 days a year (enough said!), J.J. Gomez (Honorary since 2004/Husband of Tommie Wilkes) for providing his own form of entertainment at Reunion 2004. This years Honorary inductees include: Charmaine Timmons (Guest of Kim Webber) was inducted for all of her efforts (which were many), but most importantly for providing the best Hunch Punch known to man-kind (and Hodjas)! Jay Hendry (Guest of Leslie Angle) for all of his efforts in transporting reunion materials, transporting various items and bodies (intoxicated or otherwise) to various locations, throughout the USA, for many, many cocktails (lost count Dude!), and for the many other items of BS you had to indure, but....most importantly...for keeping a handle on those Angle Sisters! Philip Hamilton (Husband of Mary Johnson) for....well, I can't exactly say for whay because "WHAT HAPPENS IN VEGAS STAYS IN VEGAS!" We all love you Phillip! Your the best, and can't wait to see you next time! Kenny Avon (Husband of Cheryl Carney) for having the best groove on at reunion 2006, and for the best damn-looking Luau Shirt I have ever seen. You got style and moves Kenny! See you all next time!

Thank you again Peggy, Kim, Denise and the entire crew that worked their ass off too make the 2006 reunion a success.
Thank God there are people out there with allot more patience than me. A great time was had by all.

Vegas... to loud and obnoxious, you can have it, (did I mention hot?) but seeing old friends... Priceless!
It meant more to me just catching up with old friends again and of course making new ones. Coach & Jerry you guys are great! Of course, I can't tell you how great it was seeing Debby J. and Kelly P. again! I'm still atwitter!

Until the next one!

First day back at work and it's already seeming like the day is dragging on.

After nearly everyone was gone, Debbie, Cindy and I spent Sunday walking the better part of half way down the strip and most of the daylight hours together. We stopped in Bellagio (I think) for a coffee/beer and to talk about life. It was very relaxing and enjoyable and so fulfilling to learn about what ?everyone else? has been doing with their lives. You guys are too cool. We ended the day at the CC pool, which was "almost" refreshing after the sun went down.

In no particular order??

Debbie - You made me promise not to let anyone know that you really do fill out a bikini just so, or that you looked AWSOME in it!!!.... so I won't. Thanks for the great day.

Laurie - I didn't see you with anything but a smile on your face ('cept for a little ketchup at brunch) and a warm hug for everyone. I've probably spoken with you five times since Turkey and this get-together simply cemented my admiration of your humorous personality, lethally quick wit, and your appreciation of sarcasm and drama. It was really great to see you.

Charmaine - Proof you can fit 3 fingers of JD (or 8) into a 2 finger drink! Thanks for being bartender this time. I didn't have any of your punch ('cause it wouldn't have looked good coming out my nose) but I did help Linda to several pieces of the fruit of the (the non-alcoholic parts of course). You truly epitomize a Hodja alumna and we enjoyed havin' you there. See you next time I hope.

Carla - Thanks for the dance. I hope you'll compile the Hodjas super-size Scrapbook one day and bring it to some upcoming reunion. It would be great to see your work.

Frank - just so you don't whine about being left out? Um, nice shirt!

Jay, Kenny, Phil - Great meeting you guys. Phil, you gave new meaning to the expression, "That is just so wrong." Too much man, THANKS!

Deniz - Once again your efforts have put several pounds back on. well, my backside and I REALLY enjoyed it!! Big kiss hon?.

Eddie - Thanks for being home base brotha.

Finally?.

Peggy, Kim - Saving the greatest appreciation and love for last. I (we all) really love you guys. None of the past five years would have been as totally wonderful as those that I have had. Very warm and comforting thoughts wash over me when I think of you and I am indebted to you both for giving that to me. Big kiss.

To you all - I should be rested up in a couple years to try it all again. Let's try Eastside this time!

Promise to make the next one! Laurie Farebrother--- I was excited to know you were going and at first had plan on going... Being good friends with your brother Gary and the rest of you Farebrothers.. Hopefully the next reunion I will be able to give you a big hug. Peggy can't forget you! Missed out on the fun I see and heard from Bruce. Besides still going to try and gather everyone up, This next reunion I will work on getting The BEEBE family to show up. Bring the next reunion 2008 to the EAST COAST - OCEAN CITY, MARYLAND would be awesome. I am still collecting photos from everyone to add in my hodja family album...

Hi All, I had a great time at Vegas! If I couldn't be with my family during a time of crisis, I couldn't think of a better group of people to be with - honestly. Thanks for being there for me, Tommy and Russ - Hodjas rule! I spent yesterday sleeping late, a body massage, a long hot bath and a long night's sleep. I should feel like myself in the next week or so. I think I had too much fiber in the form of toxic fruit (thanks Brad!). I think the Chasers really helped! It was great to see everybody, it was really 'entertaining'! I'm glad I went and I'm glad I stayed. All I need is a little help from my friends.... Luv ya all!!

Favorite Song: Feel Like Makin' Love (Bad Company)
Merhaba, all! I'm still recovering, but I miss everyone already and wish you all were right here!! I got home early this morning, a little more than 24 hours after my originally scheduled arrival. My flight out of Vegas Sunday afternoon was delayed and I missed my connection in Denver, so I had to spend the night there. Fortunately United gave me a hotel room, but I had checked my carry-on bag containing most of my basic necessities, so it was an "interesting" experience. The next morning, the flight I was re-booked on was overbooked, so I volunteered to give up my seat in exchange for a free round-trip ticket and a confirmed seat on an evening flight. Hey, what's a few MORE hours in Denver, right? I rented a car, explored downtown Denver a bit, and returned to the airport to find my evening flight -- you guessed it -- delayed. My poor husband picked me up sometime after midnight this morning.... Thanks to everyone who made this weekend possible -- and that means not only Peggy, Kim, Deniz, Eddie, Charmaine, & all you other co-conspirators, but also every single person who was there. This was my fourth Hodja reunion, and after each one, I've felt a bit of a letdown -- but also a sense of having experienced something really special. Can't wait to see everyone again soon!! Hugs and much love to all y'all! :) MWAH!

Hello Hodjas,
Can?t recall when I have been so sleep deprived but managed to have my spirits so restored. I know I can get through a lot of boring meetings by letting a few memories creep back into my head (not of the ?Incirlik Bad Boy?s Gone Wild?, thank-you-so-very-much!) Y?all have been great medicine for the soul. Nobody party?s like a Hodja. I think Tom?s shirt on Sunday said it all -- ?Not Dead Yet?, though we may have lost Dave (that white man sure wants to dance, eh?) Peace to all of you. C?ya next reunion and next time I?ll bring better attire for the burlesque.

WOW! Is it 2010 yet! I miss the hell out of all of you already, and can't wait for the next assault on the next poor unsuspecting city. Looks like the Incirlik Alumni Association's next assault will be 2010, and WILL be on the East Coast. Keep us informed Shorty! We are going to be looking at locations in Washington, DC/Virginia area, and will also be checking into a few other East Coast recommendations. Kim and I will keep you informed on the progress. We also have a couple of insane Hodjas volunteering to host some Gatherings in the interim. Cary and I will be meeting up with Jay and Leslie in Cincinnati, Ohio to tour the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame the later part of August. Email me if you are in the area, and would like to join us. Doug Staas will be hosting a Float Trip in the Kansas City area next summer. This is going to be a very reasonable excursion, and a wonderful soul-cleansing adventure. Everyone needs to try to make this, especially if you are within driving distance. Ray Achey has volunteered to host a Gathering in 2008 in California for you West Coasters. We are also trying to devise a plan to make an assault on Kim and Charmaine up in Alaska. Provided the gas does not continue to rise, we are considering renting an RV, join up with Leslie and Jay, and road trip it across the US to Alaska. Willing to pick up any strays along the way! We will be posting more about these adventures and more soon. Just let me have some time for the novacaine to wear off, and I will be back to work for the ones that I love. Better than any stinking job I have ever had....HODJAS RULE!

Took 35 years for me to realize why I never made my own high school (class '71) reunions. NONE COULD EVER ROCK AS A HODJAS' REUNION!! You all are AWESOME and I'm honored to have experienced a small part of your world. First and foremost: Peggy & Kim...a special THANK YOU for your tireless work. Truely, you two are SUPER HEROES! Deniz, Leslie, Jay, Teresa, Charmaine (where's the receipe?), Eddie, and Chris (awesome set-up!)...thanks for taking the extra steps to make this reunion so enjoyable. Phillip & Donny, you guys re-defined the term "shock n' awe" by taking us to another...(well, glad we were in Vegas!). We can't wait for your encore next time (the gals will love ya for it!). Frank & Jerry, I'm there with you dudes (it was a pleasure). Leslie, ditto on an excursion to Napa's wine country. Debbie, call and I'll be there with a helping hand on your rennovation (I haven't forgotten all from my days in architecture). Linda, you've changed my perspective on escalators (in a good way) and thanks for the smiles. Cindy (the best co-pilot ever), what else can I say except "shared memories".

To the Cain & Rodighiero families...my prayers & thoughts during your period of grief. Too much to say in here; so suffice to say...to all the Hodjas', families, & friends...
thanks for welcoming me into your family circle. My memories are truely priceless! For those travelling into Northern California, my front door shall always be open; the BBQ grill, pool/spa, and tennis court will be waiting.

Needless to say my back side has as much hair now as before so the girls didn't score as promised-they did get close (more later). I wanted to point everyone to cindy's great art piece and encourage the powers to be to incorporate this into our web site. Join me in soliciting peggy on this if you agree. Great job Cindy!!! The rest of my comments will have to wait a few more days-but i will be back on here with thoughts for the girls.

Hi all! Already on that artwork request Doug. Waiting for Cindy's approval before posting on the website. Seeing her artwork brought back memories of Turkey I had long ago forgotten. After seeing her artwork, I recall seeing some in various school newsletters, etc. Thanks for the piece Cindy! It is great and I absolutely love it! Doug, your ars may be just as hairy, but I do recall shaving off a little circle from the side of your head, and that was just with little ole me working on it! We would have done more but you were either hiding in your locked room, or had your ear plastered to the phone working on the "work alligators" every time the girls convened!

I really appreciated the opportunity to be with people that mean so much to me during a time that it was much needed. Thank you again. Enough of that. Have any of you ever considered taking a cruise? Is so, now is your chance to take one with some of your favorite people!!!! I will be joining Kim on the cruise to the Mexican Riviera in October.

Right back at you! Had a WAY COOL time at the reunion. It was wonderful "hanging out" with all of you. I have 7 scenes assembled for the video. I would like to post them out somewhere where you guys can "throw fruit" at them and give me suggestions on how to improve them. I have been told that Eddie has a site somewhere where I can post these video scenes for your viewing. I still don't have a link yet. Can someone please email it to me? Thanks so much!

Hi everyone!Well, I can't express in words how much it meant to me to see you all in Vegas! I know I missed a bunch of fun(especially after seeing the video,pics etc) but, nevertheless, I was so happy to have just been there & spent the day/night with you all. (By the way, my 2 boys got their Black Belts!!!Yeah!!) So, it was well worth being here to see it all happen. Some of my best memories this trip were meeting some new faces(Doug Staas, Ray Achey and lots more) and actually getting to know some of the alumni I knew, but didn't really "know". Like Debbie Jaampole, girl, you are soo fun to be around, lots of laughs! Brad.... what can I say, those letters you kept all these years had me giggling reading them! You kept me laughing non-stop! I loved sitting in the hallway with you guys after the party moved out there, and just laughing & talking about Incirlik! I cannot wait to see everyone again! Ramone, I will say I was bummed when you checked out early, but I also understand family was there, and that's important too! Kathy Witmer, I soo miss you! We need to do a mini-reunion soon to catch up! Jody, you look Maaarvelous girl! and Mrs Witmer, She's like the female version of Dick Clark, she does not age! You are my hero Mrs. W!!!I took off & went on a week camping trip, and just got home tonight, so I haven't been on the site for a bit. Peggy, thank you soo much for letting me crash in your room, It was more of not wanting to have to leave the good times and go to another room on another floor, so I really do say thanks! Only wished I would have got to see Mike Rhodighero, but I know that will be a for sure in 2010!(God, that sounds so far away!) Deniz, the food was awesome in the suite, thank you! I'm really going to try & work harder at getting my brothers & sis to the next one!(even if I have to pay their way dammit! LOL)
And last, but not least, Jerry Dunn, you'd better stick around longer next time, so we can dance!!
Greg, thank you for the CD too! Love & hugs

Hi everyone!Well, I can't express in words how much it meant to me to see you all in Vegas! I know I missed a bunch of fun(especially after seeing the video,pics etc) but, nevertheless, I was so happy to have just been there & spent the day/night with you all. (By the way, my 2 boys got their Black Belts!!!Yeah!!) So, it was well worth being here to see it all happen. Some of my best memories this trip were meeting some new faces(Doug Staas, Ray Achey and lots more) and actually getting to know some of the alumni I knew, but didn't really "know". Like Debbie Jaampole, girl, you are soo fun to be around, lots of laughs! Brad.... what can I say, those letters you kept all these years had me giggling reading them! You kept me laughing non-stop! I loved sitting in the hallway with you guys after the party moved out there, and just laughing & talking about Incirlik! I cannot wait to see everyone again! Ramone, I will say I was bummed when you checked out early, but I also understand family was there, and that's important too! Kathy Witmer, I soo miss you! We need to do a mini-reunion soon to catch up! Jody, you look Maaarvelous girl! and Mrs Witmer, She's like the female version of Dick Clark, she does not age! You are my hero Mrs. W!!!I took off & went on a week camping trip, and just got home tonight, so I haven't been on the site for a bit. Peggy, thank you soo much for letting me crash in your room, It was more of not wanting to have to leave the good times and go to another room on another floor, so I really do say thanks! Only wished I would have got to see Mike Rhodighero, but I know that will be a for sure in 2010!(God, that sounds so far away!) Deniz, the food was awesome in the suite, thank you!

The float trip is going to be in the summer of 2007 in Southern Missouri or Northern Arkansas. I'm planning an all inclusive event so all you have to arrange is transportation. Tenative schedule will look like this. Arrive on Thurs. activity and visit on Fri. float on Sat. Depart on Sun. Floating will be in canoes on a beautiful, clear, cool Ozark stream. A meandering type float-no rapids. I do these annually and often people bring their kids and i would encourage this as well-all ages love this relaxing activity and great sceneary. A buddy of mine and myself will do all the cooking-which i beleive all should enjoy-wings, ribs, smoked brisket, country breakfast on an open fire, cobblers, corn on the cob-many vegitables from my garden, some native hillbilly dishes as well. Of course we will have beverage as well. These are always a great time. I'll have more info in the fall. I'm evaluating cabins now. I cannot overemphasize how much fun these are if you have never done one-then you will likely want to incorporate this into your annual activities. We can accomidate a group up to 80. The one we just finished included ages 2-64. One group i float with has been at it for 16yrs and has 3 generations of some families represented. Once i narrow down our options and dates available i'll post them and we can vote and move forward. Hope to see ya all there. I'm still smoked at work but have a posting in the works-maybe this weekend. Miss all. Be safe. Take care.

My favorite line from Holy Grail is...

"Listen....Strange women lying in ponds, distributing swords is no basis for a system of government. Supreme executive power derives from a mandate of the masses...not some farcical aquatic ceremony! You cant expect to wield supreme executive power just because some watery tart threw a sword at you! Lets suppose I went around saying I was emporer just because some moisten bin lobbed a symitar at me...they'd put me way!!!"

Hi all! Just spent a little time re-reading the past posts starting when everyone was getting really geared up for Vegas, and afterwards. Although I have always felt this way, reading the posts made me realize something even more. We have a very dynamic group of people that really do like each other. I have never had more fun with any other group (and I have done some serious partying in my day) than I have each time I am with this crazy-a$@ed bunch! I feel so fortunate to have all of you in my life. I miss you all, and can't wait for our next big adventure! I have been going over Jerry's video of the event. It is great, and all you reunion attendees out there need to send a big shout out to Big Jer for his efforts!

Merhaba everyone! Vegas was an adventure for my kids and I. In less than 12 hours, my daughter had her Honda Civic broken into and her stereo system stolen (the resort we were staying in was gated and had security guards about). Anyway, it was wonderful being around the family (the Sanderson clan and Incirlik). Patty Knudsen (hello to your sister Kathy), Carla Sylvester (tell your husband that I have been a member of USAA since--at that time, my husband was in his 3rd year of med sch and remained as a member at about 14 years of the marriage and after divorce to this day), Debbie Jampole (what a party animal, my daugher loved you), Cindy Ferreira, Susan Wilson, Kelly Tutton, Deniz Bradley (a wonderful hostess), Sherry Queen, Diana Greer (my dearest friend and Godmother to my young son), Tom Cain (missed your long blonde hair) and David Scholl (missed your curly red hair) thank you for the love and hugs. Miss you all so much! Peggy, sorry for the stress you were under, but you did great with the reunion! Met a few other alumni from later years, it was a pleasure meeting you all. Don Foote you're forgiven for not remembering your classmate, class treasurer and cheerleader. You made it up with the picture. Your wife is wonderful. My daughter was disappointed your son did not show up. She heard how tall he was from your wife. If he is ever at Occidental College have him look her up. We departed from Vegas 9PM on Sat. (while you were all at the banquet). At 3AM on Sun., 60 miles to Salt Lake City due to a flat tire, we were stranded in Utah. Since it was Sunday, nothing was open and had to stay in Lehi, Utah. We were able to find a tire place that was open the followind day (it was a holiday in Utah, "Pioneer Day") and had the custom tire replaced and continued our trip to Idaho. What a vacation! Happy to be home. Thank you everyone. Thank you for new happy, loving memories of the Incirlik family. Hugs and kisses to all.

She writes?

After the power went out I stumbled around the room until I found the sofa, and then the end table near the hallway door. The occasional flash of lightning illuminated the hallway in an unnerving strobe light effect reminiscent of a Hitchcock film, and the shadows on the bedroom doors hinted of scary stories and scarier newscasts.

I half-heartedly laughed and steeled myself to push somewhat confidently down the gauntlet, chided myself for being afraid, and took a deep breath. I moaned slightly as my exhaled breath turned to frost and a chill ran up my spine. Every hair follicle from my wrists to my neck was screaming at attention; my oversized t-shirt was suddenly rough against my breasts. Someone or something was in the house with me. My breathing became shallow.

My eyes dilated to the point that when the lightening flashed I was forced to squint. The thunder was muffled as the pounding in my chest forced my straining ears to work overtime. ?What was that noise???..

...Step by slow, deliberate step I forced my feet to whisper ever forward toward the daunting noise coming from somewhere beyond the shadow of the last lightning flash. Trepidation quickly turned to raw fear coursing through my veins, gripping me in its cruel clutches and pulsing stronger with each step, yet I continued forward. Running my fingertips along the chair rail down the wall for bearing, seconds became minutes that seemed to stretch into timeless eternity. I became intensely aware that with the absence of light and sight, all of my senses were heightened in an instinctual attempt to identify any latent peril. With the delicate touch of my fingertips the grain of the wood was easily recognizable, the warmth of the pads of my feet left distinct prints on the chilled floor. Briefly, silence hung heavy in the damp, cool air. My hair loosely done-up allows an unsettling draft to wisp across the back of my neck. With conscious effort I lift first one unsteady foot and then the other, pressing forward, with silent intent, all the while making a futile attempt to dig deep within myself for some similitude of sanity and calm. Heart racing.

Suddenly, I stop dead. "There it is again, but fainter this time."

My breathing instantly ceases as I strain to force my mind to grasp onto this odd but strangely familiar drone. As it repeats over and over in the recesses of my mind's eye, it is nearly impossible to isolate the sound from the pounding of the winter storm outside. Was it a loose floorboard creak; or perhaps a murmur? Was this sound man or beast or nature? This has disturbingly turned me into a mere shadow of the confident woman I was just hours before. Drawing ever nearer to the bedroom door, I am seemingly steps away from my fate. As I close the distance the sound seems different somehow, more familiar, less haunting. I begin to find myself oddly aroused. My trembling hand reaches for the doorknob...

Sex-aid excuse bombs with airport security

Man traveling with mother says pump is a grenade

CHICAGO, Illinois (AP) -- Cook County prosecutors say a 29-year-old man traveling with his mother desperately didn't want her to know he'd packed a sexual aid for their trip to Turkey.
So he told security it was a bomb, officials said.
Madin Azad Amin, 29, of Skokie, Illinois, was stopped August 16 after guards found an object in his baggage that resembled a grenade, prosecutors said.
When officers asked him to identify it, Amin said it was a bomb, said Cook County Assistant State's Attorney Lorraine Scaduto.
He later told officials he'd lied about the item because his mother was nearby and he didn't want her to hear that it was part of a penis pump, Scaduto said.
He's been charged with felony disorderly conduct, said Andrew Conklin, a spokesman with the Cook County state's attorney's office.
Amin's attorney told a Cook County judge Wednesday that Amin whispered that the component was a "pump." The guard misunderstood, and thought he said "bomb," according to defense attorney Eileen O'Neill-Burke.
"He told her it's a pump," O'Neill-Burke said. "He's standing with his mother. Of course he's not going to shout this out."
However, Judge Gerald Winiecki decided there was sufficient evidence for the case to move forward after the female security guard testified that she heard Amin "clearly" say the word bomb.
Amin is charged with felony disorderly conduct, which could bring a three-year prison sentence if he's convicted. Amin is due back in court September 13
He told the Chicago Sun-Times after the hearing that security officials did not give him a chance to explain the misunderstanding, that he would never use the word "bomb" while going through a security checkpoint, and does not consider a penis pump an unusual object to own.
"It's normal," he said. "Half of America they use it."

... and time stops. In the nanoseconds that never pass between here and there, I see the static build on the door knob. The hairs on my arm respond to the changing universe that my hallway has become. The fear that is immobilizing me allows my eyes to see the spark leap from the doorknob to my fingers. I have time to think of how it's going to feel and grimace at the thought of the snap I will endure, and yet, still have time to hear it, again.

But it didn?t come from the bedroom. No, the sound is coming from farther down the hall. The now rhythmic drone is coming from the only door, to the only space on this end of the house. Something is in the garage.

I stop at the door and try to catch my breath. It's coming so fast and so shallow now that my mind is racing and I feel numb. Where was my husband and why was this happening to me? I silently scream at myself and shake my fists in front of me. My eyes are tearing up, but more from anger than sadness. I wipe my face and steel onward. I grab the garage door knob and push the door wildly open, screaming as I go through, "WHO THE HELL IS IN HERE!"

There is no answer, but a familiar melody is coming from the automobile. Lightning crashes and I see the sexy outline of my European lover. I've never fancied myself a Lesbian, but this gal has all of the right curves in all of the right places. Her sleek black bonnet and the small feminine oval of the front grill opening. Her waspy, coke bottle beltline is accentuated by the faintest of root beer colored pinstripes. Every curve glimmers as the afterglow of the lightning strike fades. In the darkness I can now make out the faint glow of a light from inside of her. I walk out and touch her to peer inside. Her paint is like glass and so soft. I momentarily note that a hand job means so many things... Her red leather seats look like blood in the faint glow. The radio is playing something from Elton John.

And just as quickly, the radio goes off, and the light is out... Lightning strikes again and I see the outline... and I'm not alone.

Just wishing everyone a safe and relaxing Labor Day Weekend (I'll be thinking of you all while I'm at work).

Actually, just received notice that our (USAF Alumni) reunion will be during Sept 2007 in GERMANY...so suppose I'll be thinking of that as well. Anyone interested in visting/sight-seeing Germany?

Bev-i can bring a Vegas drunk to Texas. Laurie-seen your post-sitting in the hall visiting with you all was a highlight-wish you could have been there longer. Nice to meet new folks and i always love conversation with folks from our era-you need to join us on a Ozark stream float trip next summer. Greg-heading to Europe, wish i could i join you. No major plans for Labor day-need a Hodja fix. Left Va. right before the hurricane but still had delays in travel and a rough plane ride. Back in the big Mo. now-Jay and Leslie-where are you? I'm seriously thinking of a tropical trip this winter-sun/sand and fruity rum drinks-something all inclusive for 3-4 days-any takers??

"Hurricane" was a big wuss.... Tropical Storm really... durn thing took a right turn right over Wilmington and plowed straight through here. We dodged the wind as it blew hard right up Highway 17, but we got PLENTY of rain, almost 8 inches in 24 hrs..... (he he ... another Bevis moment for you guys... he he) No damage.... lots of water. Crap I'lll have to mow by Sunday!

Laurie.... you'll never know doll.

I had a great time meeting lots of new faces too; Cindy, Leslie, .... Bev.... Charmaine. OK so I knew OF some of you.... but it was great to really get to know y'all a bit.

Doug... I think I will make a concerted effort to make for a free week next summer. As you said.... I feel I need a Hodja fix already.

Love to my family!

Wow. Stumbled on this page late the other night. I was there from 74-76. Played ball with Todd and Tracy Wagner. So many great memories. Loved the "trips" for sports. The dances at the AYA. Lived of those. Remember the "Great Race" they use to have each year. Was in contact for a while in the early 80's with Bruce Veal. We ended up going to the same college together. Nice to see some familiar names. Feel free to contact me any one. Like to talk about old times.

Favorite Song: All of them
Jon, It's great you found us. Attended my first reunion in Vegas this year. We have a great group of gals that throw an awesome party. It's amazing how when folks find the alumni association-they almost always mention the same things-sports trips, AYA and hanging out. This is an incredible fraternity. Hope to see ya at one of the upcoming events. Reconnecting with eveyone is cleansing and good for the soul-amazing how we all just fall into place. I would encourage you to seriously consider making it a priority. Our friends from this time in our lives are keepers of our great memories. You should connect with Peggy Buchanan-she's a friggin walking encyclopedia of Incirlik/Hodja facts-including where everyone is or who knows where everyone is. Her and her husband Carey are in the Atlanta area-he was also in Turkey-probably remember him and his sister Cherry. Last night while visiting with some friends of mine during a wing and beer night-I was really amazed at listening to Bill (my son)talk about our reunion-he was engaged and animated-seems as though we definately made a positive impression on him. Mary-he wants to meet your daughter. Safe holiday to all. Fall is rapidly approaching the Ozarks-it's a great time to be a hillbilly. You all are great. Love to all. I need a Hodja fix-damn it's tough being a junkie-you all are a habit that can't be kicked. Oh yeah-I addded something to our menu for the float trip. Les (close friend) and i discovered grilled pork loin seasoned with apple and bourbon-apples from his tress and good bourbon-slow cooked on a grill-very tasty-so we added it to our float trip menu. Sometime this winter i'll put out a full itenarary and menu. So far we have Jambalaya, smoked salmon, biscuts and gravy, wings, pork loin, smoked brisket and of course fresh stuffed jalepenos.

Hi Jon...I'm not sure you remember me but whenever you use to hang out at Chris Schillings house (I lived next door to the Schillings and hung out with his sister, Lynn) you would always tease me and say that I looked like Louise Tucker!! aha ha ha Don't worry you didn't scar me for life!! aha ha ha I'm glad to see you're doing alright!!

Wow, the menu for the float trip sounds really delicious, if I eat too much....I won't need a canoe to float down the river!!! aha ha ha ha (Just Kidding)

Oh Bev you give me such an opening-I?ll be nice and explain of course I meant fraternity in the larger sense and not gender specific only a male chauvinist would do that and we all know how sensitive I am to those issues that effect our Hodja sisters. Let's just say the ole sperm cell during the hangover may have had an impact. HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA-NOT-I tried, but I still be good this time. But I did not mean it to be gender specific this time. DRY towns-say it ain't so. Peg-I think you need to renew your party badge. Yank her tour guide credentials. Bev. Darling, so glad to hear you are moving on-sorry to hear it had to happen. But you know hot Hodja girls have no problem conquering those who use urinals when it gets time. Let me know and I?ll be there with beverage to celebrate. I have a pending business trip to your great state. Maybe even a sample of my latest food item. Today we are making Jambalaya-yesterday was Chili. I also made Denise's Borek and they were good, but not as good as the queen. Denise you are the master. J & L can?t wait to see you again. AIRTRAN and SOUTHWEST have monthly specials-one can fly almost anywhere for about $175.00 round trip. KC, Atlanta, Orlando, Dallas, Virginia Beach, San Diego, Denver, DC ?all are easy places to hook up for a weekend. Embassy Suites runs about $83.00 for military rate and soon to be off season price. Pretty good breakfast and nice rooms. Or anyone interested in flying into Branson Missouri for a show weekend?

Received an email from Ms. Sandy DiQuinzio (principal at Incirlik HS). She replied, "it sounded like everyone at the reunion had a great time!" Sandy also asked if anyone has a clue or idea as to where that time capsule may be (as in buried on-base)? She's started a "historical" section in the library to house everything she can find related to the school, faculty, students, and school events. Her intent is to keep the history and tradition of the Hodja alive for future school administrations and students. She's adding pictures (with names) from the CD I made and distributed; as well as some pics (nothing incriminating, lol) from Vegas. If you'd like to contact Sandy, her email is: .

Hi everyone! Hope everyone is doing well. About the time capsule, we have been working on that with the current school faculty for about a year now. We have had no luck in locating the Time Capsule, despite the efforts of many who were at Incirlik at that time. There has been some escavation efforts in the garden areas around the statues, which is were the time capsule was originally deposited. However, no luck as of yet in locating it. I know that some cement borders were put in around the garden areas in the 80's, and it is my guess that the workers located the time capsule, and possibly disposed of it. Greg, Sandra is aware of this already. They are continuing to try to locate it, but they either have not dug deep enough, or the time capsule is lost. wish I could provide her with more assistance, but we have nothing more to offer.

It is posting some of the guestbook signing up to August of this year. I'm thinking that anyone else stumbling on to that site via the same path will not get the new full blown version of this awesome site at www.incirlikalumni.org and will not see the full current guestbook and student lists.
Also, I will scan my 1974 yearbook for you as soon as I can. I know I have already promised this but haven't found time. Doug, sorry I missed the reunion I just couldn't swing it. I will focus my efforts on float trip 2007.

Thanks Debbie for the kind words regarding the videos! I appreciate the positive feedback and am glad you enjoyed them.

Now that my "sneek peek" crew is able to view the reunion videos, I would like to open it up to the rest of the Hodjas for viewing. Please email me your request for membership to the site where I have placed them. Please refer to the reunion booklet for my email address.

Also, there are still some from the sneek peek group who have not accepted their membership invitations. I am guessing that the invitation somehow ended up in a spam folder somewhere. You may want to check there first. If you need another invitation, please email me. Access to the videos is by invitation only.

I look forward to your comments and critique of the video as well donation of video clips you feel worthy of the final production. Enjoy!

To the European Girlie Men who relentlessly spam our site with their sales of Viagra, porn and European travel:

I believe I speak for all of us when I say that your efforts to sell those items are wasted on the members of this site. Members of this site are children of American servicemen who fought Vietnam and the Cold War.

Only a spineless pussy from Europe too afraid to fight the war on terror would resort to erection pills and naked pictures of girls. The men of this site "stand tall" on their own...thank you very much! And why should we have to settle for pictures when we already enjoy the real deal?...live!

Finally, all of us have either visited or lived on your continent. I personally can't say that it was all that much to write home about and have no intentions of ever going back.

So I will say this in words you understand...PISS OFF!!!!

With all due respect to Jerry Dunn. I agree with your comments about relentless spammers but your comments about those "spineless pussies from Europe" should be retracted. There are some of us Alumni that were born in Europe and have extensive European families, some that have even served our country like myself. I would ask for an apology since I was born in Germany but I doubt I'd get one.

To Jeff and others with European connection whom I offended with my comments to the spammers:

Jeff is correct in saying that an apology regarding my comments about Europe and our allies who have served us is in order. I sincerely apologize for those comments and have your forgiveness to ask.

While my anger over spammers got the best of me, that was no excuse for my caustic tirade on Europe... no matter how bad my experience over there may have been!

Jeff, your service and the service of the Europeans who did stand up with us over there is greatly appreciated. We (myself included) owe a debt of gratitude to you!

Sad...I really loved my old email address too. Oh well, as Jeff said before, nuff said.

Deniz - I hired a Marine as a personal trainer last week in attempt to get into better shape for that strip show you asked for in the limo (refer to scene 5 in the videos). I'm working out 3 times a week really hard and hope to put on a show the next reunion...that is...if my wife will let me (she and the kids will be coming next time). Tell you what...at the very list I will make a video of it and post it out on Google. ;-)

I can actually show this to my husband. ~grin~ No burlesque show. HA! What a wonderful job you did in compiling these memories. I am so grateful and I know you put a tremendous amout of time into it. Thank you so much! I was grinning for hours afterwards. Dang, I have to wait years before doing this again! I've checked out hotels and bars and nigthclubs in Washington DC. I'm ready NOW! 2010 is to far away. Lets do this Palooza tomorrow!

I agree with Cindy, the D.C. reunion should be moved up at least a couple of years. There are a lot of cool places to see and a lot of great watering holes here. One for instance is Madams Organ in Adams Morgan. Check out their website at madamsorgan.com. If that doesn't work, how about some biker bar dives? I know where all of em are at around here.

HEY HEY HEY!!! What's up Hodjas! Big Jer---my thanks, love and appreciation are all yours! Greeeeeat job! I love it, and really appreciate all the work you put into the video. I will get those invites out to all real soon. Got a lot on the burner at the moment, but hopefully some will read the guestbook, and send you their request before hand. BEV! I am proud of you girl. I am here for you anytime as is the rest of your Hodja family. Big Jer-- I am of dutch decent, and I appreciate your taking on the relentless spammers. No offense taken, but as Jeff said, everyone has their own feelings and opinions. You keep at em, just without the slamming! I really wish we could move up Hodja-palooza, but there is quite a lot of work required in putting together our big reunions. It literally takes more than a year to put one together. In the meantime, we have some fantastic gatherings in the works. The Float Trip next summer will be a blast, and a much more relaxed trip than the alumni association reunions. There are several of us that get together many times throughout the year, and we would love to have anyone join us! Hey Cindy and Deb, I have been requesting event materials from DC, Atlantic City, Virginia, etc. Anywhere else on the East Coast you can think of for a possible venue? DC is still the front contender, but I am a little concerned about the expense. Rooms are very high from what I have seen, but that is not on a negotiated group discounted. DC does not negotiate very much as they are normally at capacity, and don't have to do so. I really miss all of you. Mary it was great to hear from you again. Give Phil a big Hodja hug from all of us! Jimmy Greer just registered with the alumni association! It was great to see Diana at the reunion. KIMEE!!!!! Not long now and we will be sailing the ocean blue! I just can't wait! I need this break. MWAH!!

Hey all,
Been up to my ears in work and have missed playing on here. Bev-there is a wet, passionate, weak in the knees one coming your way. Consider a raincheck. The float trip-i have been working on it and actually i'm waiting to hear back from the owner of the campground to confirm the dates i requested. Anyday now i hope-once that happens-i'll tally everything up and Peg can post it. On my near travel list is a rock climbing/camping trip to Ark. the last weekend of the month-we are taking about a dozen teenagers-will be a blast. Dec.26th time frame is a trip to Cancun or somewhere tropical with sand/sun/surf and fruity rum drinks. Anyone is welcome to join in. I'll be in Orlando the first week of Dec. if anyone is nearby. I'm through Atlanta monthly. If you come through Missouri and are interested in skydiving we can do that as well. I'm up to any ideas others might have. I try to include my kids in all i do. They had a blast at the reunion and enjoyed Deniz's boys very much. Hope everyone is well. Jerry awesome job. David-thanks so much for the help with Suzanne's car problems. Deniz looks like you have a growing fan base here in Missouri for your Turkish cusine-my feable efforts have attracted some fans and of course Lauren set the record straight as to who really has the talent and some of those going on the float trip are begining to chant for your awesome talents. (me included) Peace.

I guess it's time to password the guestbook again?

Bev,
Here's a little story about how us Redskins/Cowboys fans like to mess with each other. There's a Cowboys fan who's a regular at the bar I hang out at which is Redskins central. He talked alot of crap at the bar last year during a Redskins/Cowboys game which got him duct taped to his bar stool. He was completely mummified in duct tape except for his head and we cut a hole in the tape over his mouth and stuck a straw in it so he could at least drink his beer. Last weekend he lost a bet with his girlfriend over the Dallas/Philly game and he now has to wear a Redskins chearleader uniform all day the next time Dallas plays Washington and he has to wear it in the bar. The guy is such a good sport that he'll actually do it. How's that for football fan rivalry?

It's all good...lol

FLOAT TRIP INFORMATION!!!!!!!!!!
Ok folks i have some information.
Last Weekend in June 2007 29/30/1-you can come in on the 28th if you like. I need to make final reservations by COB tomorrow-so basically i need a response from you saying how many in your party will attend. The price will be all inclusive-lodging/beverage/canoe rental/food and float fees. $200.00. I'll be reserving 17 beds/5 fold out couches, spread among 4 cabins/trailers-there are also limited RV hook ups and unlimited primitive sites for tents. First come first serve basis. If you camp i'll be able to reduce the fee somewhat-but still a camping fee.
If you want to google this. We are floating on the Current River approximately 1hr South of Rolla Missouri which is located on Interstate 44 in South/Central Missouri. Find Jadwin Missouri and you are in the backyard.
Please send me an email with your intentions ASAP and i'll be giving Peggy a detailed fact sheet and schedule to post on the site by the weekend. We can handle 20-60 persons. I will be bringing my kids-this is a great time for all.
Right now i need a approximate headcount. There will be a deposit deadline in the future. Beds are first come first serve!!!!!!!!!!! Hope many of you can make it-this is the same annual trip i do with another group and for 15yrs folks keep coming back-many children have grown up on this trip. The river is a spring fed, crystal clear, slow float river surrounded by limestone bluffs in the beautiful Ozarks. All food will be cooked by me and a friend (except what we can convince Deniz to do). I have seen ages 2-70 on this trip. Most of the teenagers i know who have gone on this trip, now plan to attend annually and wouldn't miss it for anything. The canoes are stable, the water is slow and shallow and this is often the first river people learn to float on-excellent for novices.

Hey All,

Thanks for the kudos on the video. My thanks goes out to all of you for letting me do this. It was a labor of love and I had a lot of fun doing it. This has been a hobby of mine for not quite a year. I do it using a freebie software package that comes with Microsoft Windows called Movie Maker. Its pretty easy to learn and just about anyone can work with it. Email me to learn more about how to get set up. I have some other more personal vids out there if you would like to see what Movie Maker can do. Do a search on "JDZCS410_" (be sure to include the "_" in your search. If you have questions about "GBJ Pictures" and "Cool Mo Funk Productions" give me a holler and I will explain.

Bruce, I have sent you my thoughts regarding the demise of your relationship. Hang in there Dude and know that we all love you. Looking forward to the Float Trip next year. I have yet to spend a quite, laidback, weekend with my Hodja Family. This will be a nice, relaxed trip, and an opportunity for us to confirm why we are such a close group in a relaxed environment. Great opportunity to get re-acquinted with your teenagers, and prove to them once again, what really cool 'rents they have the good fortune to be blessed with. We are awesome! Mike, I am so glad to hear from you again. Sorry I have been out of touch. Life has had many twists and turns as of late. I miss you, and hope to see you next June. I am still praying for us both to have some peace. I love you very much, and think you are awesome. Mary and Phil!!! You know I can't wait to see you and meet your children. If they are anything like Mom and Dad...I already love them! Riter 1 & Riter 2...I miss you :o(. Jay-bird....I MISS YOU 2! Brad...where are you dude? Way to quiet in here without Brad! Brad...be sure to save up some leave time for the float trip, and let Doug know well in advance. It's hard reserving am extra-long canoe you know!

Yeah I know, the Redskins are choking this year but at least I have my other team...Go Steelers!!!!
If anyone plans on coming to D.C. for a visit, give me a shout and we can meet and have drinks and talk about how bad the Redskins suck this year...haha!!!

I'm so blue. Even though Im out here in Redskins land, Im really a die hard West Coast gal and as Coach Greg knows, I love my Raiders. But they SUCK soooo bad this year. It cant get any worse than this! Add to it that my college teams SUCK too! UVA is playing like pansies and what are my Fresno State Bulldogs doing? It's just too sad for words. I'm crying a river out here. Got no love from my teams. Where's the beer?

Hi All,

Sorry to be such a stranger. Work has really been poundin me up the...

I find all of this chatter about Cowboys, Redskins and Oakland rather amusing given I come from Colts country. Go Payton!

Bruce. Sorry to hear about the girlfriend breakup and the border. My philosophy... "When life hands you a lemon, pretend that it is a lime and make margaritas!" I had a bad breakup once around age 25 with a girl I had dated for 4 years and was about to marry. In my search for the meaning of life after that I joined what I thought was a legitimate church that turned out to be one of America's top 10 most dangerous cults... the Boston Church of Christ! My advice...eat plenty of Mexican food, drink lots of Rita's and even whore around down there on the border if you think it will help. I just wouldnt go searching for the meaning of life. At age 44 I have finally figured out that life has no meaning and the pursuit of it is a big waste of time. Just my take on things. Live it up brother!!

Favorite Song: I just wanna be your everything - By Andy Gibb

Cindy - Yeah, I remember those VD commercials with that jingle set to 1920's music. Pretty funny! I worked at the base hospital laboratory the summer of 1977. We had quite an influx of these wire things with a cotton swab on the end of them. Guess there were a bunch of airmen who didnt see those commercials, huh? :-) They were all contracting from some place in downtown Adana known as "The Compound"...whatever that was.

Greg - Yes, I was a member of BCC for 1.5 years from spring of 87 until fall of 88 and spent the next 5 years in counseling after leaving them. I look back on it now and laugh. I've never seen a church so obsessed with masturbation and peoples personal sex lives. I have some pretty funny stories about that I will have to share sometime. A lot of it having to do with confessing sin. That church really invaded peoples personal space. I take it that you've heard of them?

Watching Monty Python's "Life of Brian" helped put it all in perspective for me. :-)

Yes, I remember those VD commercials and all the other ones. It remided of the outbreak of hepatitis we had back in 82. Someone brought it back from Izmir and everyone on base had to go the base gym to get a needle full of gamma globulin jabbed in their ass. The funny thing about it was that they had cubicles set up with army blankets in the gym which would only go up to about your neck. You had to face everyone who was standing in line and they could see the look on your face when you got the needle jabbed into your ass cheek. Oh what fun!!!
Greg, about the portable stripper pole. I got a new one!!! Whether they are an ex or not, I know a few girls who like to put on a show for me every now and then and I'm not the naughty one. :P

I have a little joke to share with you which another one of your fellow cowboys fans emailed me. Here we go....

Little David was in his 5th grade class when the teacher asked the children what their fathers did for a living. All the typical answers came up-- fireman, policeman, salesman, etc.
David was being uncharacteristically quiet and so the teacher asked him about his father.
"My father's an exotic dancer in a gay bar and takes off all his clothes in front of other men. Sometimes, if the offer is really good, he'll go out to the alley with some guy and make love with him for money."
The teacher, obviously shaken by this statement, hurriedly set the other children to work on some coloring, and took Little David aside to ask him, "Is that really true about your father?"
"No, said David. "He plays for the Washington Redskins, but I was too embarrassed to say that in front of the other kids."

Good one, Jeff! One point for joke...Bev's turn. Speaking of which, Bev, you should check on getting DC security pre-approval for when Jeff streaks down Penn Ave. If you so desire (plezzzzz), you can still wear that DCC uniform for the "good of the game". Perhaps someone should ask NFL to change the rules to allow 'Tie Games' (for this one game).
Big Jer: Never heard of that cult before (and glad I never did)...but I did hear of 'The Compound' when I was station at Incirlik (glad I never visited). Jer, noticed your last Fav song (was that dedicated to someone specific in mind...
no need to answer that). Cindy (no, you're not a stalker), Howie's wife said "no way, no how, absolutely not" to your request for a vintage/candid pic of Howie in the Raider's locker room (something to do with 'propritory rights'...

Forgive me Hodjas, for I have sinned...... It's been two months since my last confession and I must confess, I miss y'all a bunch.

My new position has taken a bit of time to get the way I want it. My predecessor left me with next to no continuity package/report so I basically had to reinvent the day to day processes and establish contacts on my own. I didn't think he had left on bad terms, but he didn't leave me CRAP ("he left me with nothing to work with" for all you English purists)... I was advised that we had a Corporate Quality Review to conduct shortly after I got the seat warm and we had almost nothing to present..... No established process (other than the MS Project milestones), and no functional procedures. How lucky for them (and me) that I spent the extra $.39 during the Master's program and got that minor in OD. That mindset and my Air Force Deming training ramped up, two weeks later and we had documented processes and procedures just in time for the review. That and the fact that my QAR made sure everyone was up to date on their training made for a nice %95 rating on my inspection. Pat. pat pat, puke...

SO..... Who's up for a JD and RC Cola! Bev... we have unfinished business! Kim... we also have unfinished business. Peggy... we need to open a business..... and for the rest of you party freaks from up north.... Deb, Cindy, Linda.... Mwaa!!! miss you gals.

Favorite Song: Anything by Counting Crows
My fellow Hodjas...I am sooo sorry to have been gone sooooo long, however it has taken me until today to finish eating the giant size portion of CROW that I was served. Here's one for ya Jeff...Pittsburgh, PA (AP) - A seven-year-old boy was at the center of a Pittsburgh courtroom drama yesterday when he challenged a court ruling over who should have custody of him. The boy has a history of being beaten by his parents and the judge initially awarded custody to his aunt, in keeping with child custody law and regulations requiring that family unity be maintained to the degree possible.

The boy surprised the court when he proclaimed that his aunt beat him more than his parents and he adamantly refused to live with her. When the judge then suggested that he live with his grandparents, the boy cried out that they also beat him.

After considering the remainder of the immediate family and learning that domestic violence was apparently a way of life among them, the judge took the unprecedented step of allowing the boy to propose who should have custody of him. After two recesses to check legal references and confer with child welfare officials, the judge granted temporary custody to the Dallas Cowboys whom the boy firmly believes are not capable of beating anyone. Ba-Dump Bump.

Good one Bev...We needed the break from the spammers and you beat me to another little joke one of your fellow Cowboys fans emailed me. You'll like this one....

10 Reasons why you shouldn't be a Redskins fan:

dollar.

game on TV?

A: The Washington Redskins.

#4 Q: What's the difference between O.J. Simpson and the
Redskins?

A: O.J. Simpson at least had a defense.

#5 Announcement from public address system at FedEx Field:

"Will the Parents who lost your eleven kids here at the stadium please come get them? They are beating the Redskins 14-0."

#6 Q: What do the Redskins and possums have in
common?

A: Both play dead at home and get killed on the road.

#7 Q: What do the Washington Redskins and Billy Graham have
in common?

A: Both can make 90,000 people stand up and yell,
"Jesus Christ!"

#8 Q: How do you keep the Redskins out of your yard?

A: Put up goal posts.

#9 Q: What do you call a Redskin with a Super Bowl
Ring?

A: A thief.

#10 Q: Why was Al Saunders upset when the Redskins'
playbook was stolen?

A: He wasn't finished coloring in it yet.

Hey All,

I have not given up on this site yet. The spammers are annoying as hell, but I love the Hodja community we have here too much to just give up on it. The site had been down for several days on this end which is why I had not visited.

BTW. Bev I won't hold the Cowboys beating the crap out my Colts last weekend against you. Good game!

BTW. Hopefully, I will not be "Big Jer" for too much longer. I joined a gym and hired a Marine fitness instructor from the local reserve unit to be my personal trainer. Have been doing this for close to 3 months now and am finally going a whole waist size down. Hopefully I will be worthy of a strip show by the next reunion. By then I wish to be known as "The man formerly known as Big Jer"!! :-) OR I could be known as Big Jer for some other reason. :-)

That's when you've lived well. Nice to see the web site up without spammers. Can't get too many of your Hodja e-mails without my hubby raising his eyebrows. Love the one from Kim about Friends are like butt checks......Not to harp on those poor old Sheepherding Dallas guys being beat by the Redskins, but the Redskins kicker, Nick Novak, went to my daughter's high school here in little ole Charlottesville so Im a bit proud of that game though it was touch and go for a bit. But that was yesterdays news. Raiders are dead and buried, so are the Fresno State Bulldogs. But I lament as always. Sigh. Where is Howie Long?

Don't want to bring you down during the holidays, but it hasn't been a great month for Cannon Airmen. We lost two Air Force Officers. Capt Evans an EOD Officer in the fatal helicopter accident and a heroic pilot, Maj Gilbert, from Luke AFB, was flying my flag ship F-16 for the 524 AMU "Hounds." He crashed while strafing insurgents that were heavily engaged with our forces. He went down saving lives and left a wife with 5 children back in Arizona. Do me a favor. I have 500 personnel of the 1800 under my command in danger in Iraq over the holidays. Let's keep them in our prayers, so I can get them all home safe next year. As a side note. I've been selected to command the 51st Maintenance Group at Osan AB, Korea, so I'll be punching out of NM around Apr 07 for my 3rd tour in the ROK. The next few months will be hectic as we transfer out 68 F-16s to other bases and transfer the base over to Special Operations Command in the summer.

Wow, It's 2324 CST 12-25-06. Another year gone by. I miss Vegas. The kids are out doing their own thing. Just realized it's too late to call Peg and wish her Merry Christmas. Some friends of mine just left-for those of you coming on the float-you will meet them (Les and Beth). They are helping me host. Anyway i was reading our recent posts. What pride i have in our chosen few, the Hodjas. Bob's troops be safe. I have been amazed at this group since i reconnected. Hey Joe, im in Missouri till mid Jan. But one of these days we'll toss some frosty's back.
Right now i'm reflecting back to those wonderful days we shared with each other-those cold, wet winters-the AYA, stumbling through adolesence. Remember wishing we were stateside? Hoping for a white Christmas, wanting to be back in the world were there were plenty of gifts, snow and extended families-not dreamining for a second that we were making our own extended family. Making our own memories that would one day be shared with those we knew at the Lik. What an awesome club we have. I'm thinking it's sunrise in Turkey and this generation of dependents are going through their own challenges and hating it there. They are counting the days to get back to the world not knowing what we know-not knowing the special thing growing in them about this special place that they will one day long to return to. Can you remember the dances, the laughs, the Kavak, the Raki, Efes beer, Lamejan, Borek, the kisses, the young love, the sports, the AYA, the senior teen room, the left over hippie clothes, walking everywhere on base, Little America, Pandoras box, Worry beads, the roses, Tuslog, gas lines, ration cards, Ataturk drive, the cotton trailers lined up to market-crossing the bridge into Adana, our school inside the gate, 7 dayers, the different groups but all getting along, hear the call to prayer? So rich and so real in my mind-but most of all the memories of you, my friends, our shared adventures. I look so forward to our next gathering. I want to laugh and recall, i want my kids to see us again-to know this heritage we share, this connection that is so important. I wish peace and prosperity for all, for those with loved ones deployed i pray for a safe return, for those of us losing the generation that brought us to Turkey-i pray for peace as they pass. Beth and Les's daughter was here with them tonight and i showed her some pic's and shared some adventures and stories with her about us. She enjoyed them and laughed at how much of a punk i was. As i toss another log on the fire and open another beer-i sit here listening to music that takes me back to you, i think of a couple of special folks and a couple of special slow dances. Memory is a wonderul thing-especially when it so rich with characters made up by you. I'm so thankful you all are part of world. I appreciate the catalyst called Peggy and Cary who maintain this lifeline to our past. Love to all. Hope to see most of you this summer. I'm in serious need of a Hodja fix. Does anyone else fill the need for a support group for Hodjaholics? It's the 26th and another Christmas passed. Love ya. Peace.

Doug, thanks for so eloquently writing down your memories of the Lik for all of us to enjoy. Each passage allowed me to spend a moment in my youth reminiscing about all of those wonderful things. How little we knew back then. How excited we were to be a "two digit midget", "99 days and a wake up". I am hoping to take Jeremiah my "husband" to visit Turkey this year. At least then he could put something tangible to all of my rantings. Doug, thanks again man. It was a wonderful xmas gift...memories.

Nolly, I am sorry to hear of your parents. I lost Dad 12 years ago in a drunk driving accident. He was only 47 years old. This is also my first holiday season without my mother. She lost her battle (very short one) to lung cancer this year. She was 59. We are also trying to hold onto traditions. It helps. I am also thankful that my sister and I are so close. I feel our relationships strength also comes from our years at the Lik. You know it was so small that even your siblings might be your best friends.

I hope the New Year gives us many things. Peggy, let's meet soon for a drink.

My my, it is hard to believe another year is ending...I truly hope that each of my Hodja sisters and brothers had a heartwarming Christmas full of love! Mine was just that... and though the year's trials threatened to overwelm, we the Hodja family (while sustaining hardships and losses) take comfort in knowing that our 'Family' is always there for us, ever holding us in their hearts and prayers. We will endure, we will grow stronger, we will leave our legacy and pass the torch to yet another generation! My heart mourns with those my fellow Hodjas who have experienced grief in this past year, may you find comfort, peace and renewed hope in the coming year. Doug, indeed, thank you for your wonderful words...you do have a way of taking us back, causing us to fondly reminisce, allowing us to see the good in what at the time seemed so bleak. Mike, it is good to see that you've rediscovered this site; it has brought me through many a dark night. Though we haven't reacquainted yet, you seem like good peeps (like all our Hodja guys). Thank you to all my Hodja sisters who sent well wishes and love at Christmas...Big Love back at cha!!! May our beloved soldiers return home safely and know that they are loved and appreciated. May this New Year bring each of us Peace and Love and the warmth of knowing that we are a part of a wonderful FAMILY!

Not sure which to call you there Bev, Bevarita or Bevie-Pooh, but I so looking forward to seeing all the Hodja's that I didn't get to see in Atlanta. Wonder if your brother still remembers me. You know we are just so old now?!?!?! He's not the Kurt Angle in the WWF (gay body building is what I call it anyways?) Hope to see all at the California reunion. Hope everyone had a great Christmas and an even better New Year. Take care. More later on this station. (I must be watching way too much TV again.)

Happy 2007 To all HODJA Brothers & Sisters ! Heather and I shot over to Delaware (couple hours away) to celebrate the changing of the years. To everyone I wasn't able to be with, I prayed that you all plus our Brave Men & Women serving over in the Danger Zone to have a safe and wonderful New Year in 2007. **THOSE DAMN COWBOYS!** THE EAGLES I CAN UNDERSTAND, (THEY ARE GOOD) BUT THE (F'IN) LIONS COME ONNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN.. I will have to set up a meeting with Jerry and Bill to find out what is going on here! This bullshit has to change for the playoffs! Hopefully Sheriff Romo will be better perpared with his guns... Oh I forgot I have to make sure T.O. has SUPER GLUE on his hands for this showdown. I see Chicago has step in the choke pucket, down they go from here on in. Well everyone take care and have a safe New Year. Brother- Bruce! I would like to make a playoff bet with ya... If your Giants don't match up in any of the games with my America's Team. Lets bet on who goes the furthers in the playoffs! The loser will have to wear the opposite teams shirt or Jersey. If they both lose the same week then we are both safe of not wearing the opposite teams shirts.. **DEAL OR NO DEAL** MY COWBOYS OR YOUR GIANTS (Lets put them on the line!) WOULD BE REALLY COOL IF THEY MEET IN THE CHAMPIONSHIP. Then the Cowboys moves on to Take on the Baltimore Ravens! I look at it this way..... Might as well keep bird hunting ... Plus Dallas owes the Town of Baltimore a defeat in the Super Bowl Game. Ok! I am done with the sports talk... Hugs go out to all the Hodja Sisters and Fist connection for the guys (Tap on the top & bottom then head on with the fist) Hope you all can picture what I am talking about. GULE! GULE!

Merhaba everyone and hope everyone had a great Yeni Yil for 2007 I have been busy raising extra kids in my house and working retail hell and i am finally able to slow down. My extra kid moved out today and moved in with another family today and hope and pray he does well. (Not my boys) I opened my house to my sons friend whom became homeless. Anyway, with one child also came 2 brothers that spent every weekend, Thanksgiving and Christmas with us. May all be well and my prayers to everyone. My brother in law left for Saudi December 26 for work there and Derya and her 3 daughters are still here and waiting for the oldest to finish Kindergarten to join dad.

Other than that I go to the Gym every day now. It actually feels good working out again. Sometimes you need to let the Beast out which everyone holds inside. Well I should go. Until next time. Take care.

As a Redskins fan, I don't have a problem saying that my team sucked this year but at least they didn't embarrass themselves in the playoffs. All you Cowboys fans should jump that sinking ship and come over to a team that has real fans. Bevie-poo, wanna make a real bet this time on next years match ups?

I hope this don't repeat from what posted yesterday but I haven't seen the posting over 24 hours now. Anyways something a little different to add. I forgot to ask everyone to pray for me on receiving another job. Just like the song I listed "ANOTHER ONE BITES THE DUST" I got laid off from Air Culinaire/Air chef due to the business with catering the Corporate Jets has been slow as can be. My boss said it perfect! (Damn Gary you have had a rough week, First the Cowboys lose, Then the Mavericks Lose and lost the chance of making history on the longest win streak, then the laid off ) Then we should all pray that 20,000 + troops don't get sent over to Iraq and that the ones over there come home, it's time they do. Like one of the Senators said last night! Bring the troops home now, since there wasn't NO WEAPONS OF MASS DISSTRUCTION, and NO MORE Saddum Hussan. But can't be that easy Mr. Bush is looking for another confrontation with the Iranians. "HE SHOULD ALLOW HIS DAUGHTERS TO GO OVER AND SERVE." God Bless Everyone & Let there be PEACE! GaRY OUT!

Have any of you got interested in the 24 TV show? I love it! But in season 4 the President Logon reminds me of Bush on how he hides things... President Bush HAS to know he fucked up in staying in Iraq. You can't force people over there to want something or do something they don't want. As the Worlds Best Military we can sit back on our own Turf and watch and make sure Iran don't do anything stupid. Rather putting our Men & Women at risk. Those peopls over there have had these problems long before United States was anything.... GOD PLEASE BRING PEACE AMONGS ALL OF US ON EARTH... NO MORE WARS!

Nestled deep in the Ozarks flows the Current River, a national scenic waterway. Spring fed by some of the largest springs in America-this river flows lazily with crystal clear cool water year around. As it winds its way through limestone bluffs and gravel banks backed by hickory, oak, sycamore and cedar trees one knows they have stepped back in time to a simpler era when the bustle in the Ozarks was created by timber companies cutting oak trees for railroad ties as the expansion west was racing toward California. This river was used for transportation and floating logs to saw mills.

As it winds its way through limestone bluffs and gravel banks backed by hickory, oak, sycamore and cedar trees one knows they have stepped back in time to a simpler era when the bustle in the Ozarks was created by timber companies cutting oak trees for railroad ties as the expansion west was racing toward California. This river was used for transportation and floating logs to saw mills.

Our float trip on this river will be a time of relaxation, daydreaming, fellowship, and time to connect with our amazing past. The campground (Barten's Lodge) we have rented is owned by a native Missourian who is all hillbilly and hospitality is characteristic of those raised in these hills. They are simple and basic. Our canoe outfitter (Jadwin Canoe) is owned by a family whose roots reach back in Dent County since before the turn of the century.
The pace of our trip will be relaxed and enjoyable much like the lifestyle of these hills. We will laugh, tell stories, reconnect, and enjoy wonderful nature scenes. We can swim, swing on rope swings, jump from cliffs, float, marvel at and photograph the landscape, enjoy springs, fish, see wildlife, eat good food, enjoy drink, sit around a campfire and simply visit with one another. This is a trip where all members of the family can enjoy themselves-it�s safe and fun. Doug has posted pictures from the float trip this year on our web site so you can get a flavor for it. Cost is fixed and all inclusive (Lodging, canoe rental, food, beverage and extras). $200.00 single or $380.00 for two. Canoes are done by permit and first come first serve basis. I need to reserve them NLT 1 March, so a deadline of 20 February is required. Questions should be directed to Doug Staas (1974-1976) Doug.staas@hrtsite.com 660-422-5623 or 660-238-2304
Lodging
Barten's campground and cabins. There are 17 beds and 5 foldout couches spread among 4 cabin/trailers. These are no frill, but clean and nice with AC and bathroom/showers. Linen and towels provided.

The float trip dates are June 28- July 1st. This on the Current River in SouthEast Central Missouri near a township called Jadwin. South of Salem Missouri which is south of Rolla off of I-44. I'll have a map for Peggy to post before long. In order to get the permits and canoes we need to have all registrations done by 03-01-07 therefore the deadline is the 20th of Feb. I have already reserved the campground and cabins-we will be the only group there so we have it to ourselves. I'm developing a registration form that i will send out by email and you can return with the fees. As i look out at the huge ice skating rink that Missouri has become-i'm more then ready for this trip. Email your questions to me or you can always call.

Cheerleaders danced to it when I was a Senior. Been very busy lately with Reserves. Tuesday I have to go to another Armory an hour away. We have to conduct some inspections there. Finished one at our own Armory last week. We all went out for a few. (lots few) Went down very well. May be going to Germany for few weeks soon. Travel is a good thing with our Reserve Unit.

Other than that. Still working out every morning. Right now I'm at 190 lbs. Well everyone take care. I will know in about two weeks if I can do the Float Trip. Take care. Love Bruce P.S. I'll admit the Dallas are pretty.

GREETINGS FROM COLTS COUNTRY!!!

I'm not one to brag, gloat or trash talk, but I could not be more giddy than I am right now over the fact that the 2 gladiators facing off in the super bowl are teams from the GREAT LAKES!!!! Somebody please pinch me because I must be dreaming. Was that a great game last night or what?? I can't believe those sons of bitches actually finally pulled it off and we're in the superbowl!!! When we were down 21-3, I honestly believed it was all over for us. Guess they've earned that new stadium we're building them in time for next season, huh?

The final game, however, is going to be killer as "Da Bears" are some tough mother fuckers to beat. I love Chicago too (wife is from Chicagoland area) and couldn't think of anyone better to get our asses pounded into the ground by.

Anybody out there wanna ride "The Horse" all the way to the Superbowl with me??

Better yet...any Hodjas down in the Miami area with connections for Superbowl tickets???

GO COLTS!!!!!!

A good song for the Colts. "Ride'm Cowboy" that is me. Hey at least I can say we beat the Colts and took away their undefeated season. Gooooooo Payton Manning - Hopefully he can do it. I would rather see him be the winning quarterback than Grossman. I would really wanted to see Dallas against Chicago but Poor Romo couldn't hold on to the ball when it was the most important time.

I CAN'T BELIEVE IT!!! OUR COLTS ACTUALLY WON A SUPERBOWL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

What a great game!!! The rain added a whole new dimension. Sure, it made things sloppy and what a humiliation on that opening kick off!!! I'm really surprised that Da Bears didn't win as they are accustomed to lousy weather down on the lakefront at Soldier Field and our Colts play in a heated artificial turfed dome.

Words can't convey what I feel right now. Now if Indy can just get to HOST a superbowl... :-) We're working on it. That new stadium should be ready in time for next season. Check out the stadium link at the colts page.

GO COLTS!~!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hey all -- Just dropping in for a quick hello. Jerry, you can mark me a big fat L for LOSER because I have yet to view your wonderful video -- and I know it is in fact wonderful! And believe it or not, I can't wait to see it, but life has been crazy lately....Bob West, congrats to you on moving up in the world, good luck in ROK and lots of prayers for your troops and all those in harm's way....Morgan and Anita, so glad to see you here. Hope you can come to a reunion soon. Our Hodja get-togethers are amazing....Deniz, hugs to you. You have a big heart to take in the extra children. Hope you are doing well....All you football fans, I am lost on that count, but Cindy, did I hear you have a thing for Howie Long? I have a photo, but am still looking for it!! It's here somewhere!....Doug, you crack me up -- especially your comment about being a punk. Who'd'a thunk you'd come around and express so well what we all experienced (and thought we were the only ones)?!....Brad, Mark, Frank, all the rest of y'all, hugs and kisses, I miss you!...Peggy, Kim, & the rest of you instigators -- rock on!!! Can't wait to see you again!....BTW, I will be a little closer for any East Coast gatherings that may be afoot. I'm in the process of moving to NJ, just outside NYC, with Jim not far behind. I've managed to parlay my passion for scrapbooking into a full-time job and am relocating to take a position with EK Success, the company for which I've designed scrapbook and paper craft projects for the past two years. Best way to reach me is through my Hotmail account while we go through this transition. It could be several months before I have a permanent place to hang my hat! xoxoxoxooxoxo, Carla

Hello Everyone. It's like an Arctic Freeze where I'm at. Hope all of you in the warm States are enjoying it. We don't have much for snow. That's further north. Went out with all my Army Buddies had fun 'til the next morning. I had two classes to give the next morning with Reserves. That was not fun.

In March when I have Reserves again. I am going to Buffalo for two days. That's is where one of our Higher Headquarters is. That is also where the Deployment Rumors come from. Well they are no longer Rumors. Part of the 204th Combat Engineers I belong to is definately gone first part of 2008. Who and how many is not determined yet.

Well I should go. You all take care. Love Bruce
