I've been dating a great girl for 3 1/2 years. I met her on an internet dating site. She lived in Ft. Lauderdale when we met, but she's since sold her house down there and moved up here to Jupiter. No living together or marriage yet. She's leery about moving in with a teenager. She went through hell with her own son.
On a kind of downer note, I was diagnosed with Lymphoma about two years ago. So far no symptoms, so no treatment yet. I did have some radiation when they first found it, but they didn't catch it early enough to cure it, so now it's just watch and wait. I'm trying to stay positive about it. It's a very non-aggressive type, so I'm hoping to stay around for a while.
I would check Facebook every once in a while to see if you ever signed up. There's a Richard Koloski on there, but definitely not you. You're much better looking than the other one. So I resorted to a Google search and found you here. A lot of the old WPC crowd is on Facebook. George, Sartini, Tessier, Kathy Coda. A lot of them ask about you.
So, give me an update on what's been going on in your life. Wife, kids, where you're living, what's happened to you in the past 20 years. And let me know if you ever get down my way. I'd love to see ya. My email address is sluks@bellsouth.net. Hope to hear from you soon. I had to edit stuff out because of the text limit.
