Any of you from Valpraiso or know anyone from there?

I'm not from up that direction, but I knew someone who moved to Chesterton, which I believe is up there nearby......Sid Evans. Know of him?
My dad is Steve Jackson, him and I left in the early 90's.
My mom's name is Barb, now Barb Bade.
I do remember the names, but can't place more than that.....but I do remember the names.
Actually, I was looking for someone who was never a J.W. as far as I know. The family is Hansen. Father was a doctor. 2 sisters,one named Clarissa and 1 younger brother. Clarissa was tall, about 6'1". She went to my high school for 2 years.
Does anyone know them? If you know them, please p.m. me.

I was good friends with the Kleines...Glen & Delo & the kids. I was in their son Nathan's wedding.
So, do you recall the Collin's girls? Patti and Deb. They were in that congo [I believe] before one married my cousin and the other my brother. Nathan Kline performed my bro's wedding 9 years ago - my bro has died since, and Deb has turned into a real b.... uhm, bad person toward me and the wife since we left the borg.

Exwitless and I are from Lafayette. Would welcome a visit from any ex-dub who wants to visit, chat, toss back a beer (or whiskey ). We're friendly and don't bite too often.

Yeah, come see our First Christmas Tree, too! Good to hear there are so many of you in Indiana. Come by for some and a or a , or just a cup of .
Hey - great idea Exwitless and Little Drummer Boy. Maybe we Hoosiers could all find a place in the middle and have a little winter fest some time? I'm always for that.

I grew up in the Chesterton / Michigan City Indiana area.
Another Hoosier here! I live in central northern Indiana - out in the country - 45 miles West of Ft. Wayne.
Sorry - never went to an Indy cong., was 'assigned' to Wabash, but went to conventions in Indy. I've been out 5+ years. It's great to see you 'guys' connect after so long.

Actually, I remember them (though vaguely). I think that my ex and I let one of the girls use some of our silk flowers from our wedding for something for hers....but, I don't remember details....I just remember my ex wanting "his flowers" back and never getting them. LOL Sorry to hear about your brother. I haven't heard from Nathan & Cindy for years....I've written, but I think once news hit that I was inactive, I didn't hear back from them. I still keep in touch with some other friends of mine, who apparently don't care that I am inactive, because they drove 2 hours to come to my daughter's school musical this past weekend. Those kind of friends are rare, especially in Dubdom. Of course, if I were DF'd or DA'd, they'd not do that, but at least it is nice that they still keep in touch given the situation.
