Recently I had called and left a phone message for Tom Klawitter. Today he called me back. What a pleasant surprise! As Tom said, it's been more than 50 years since we have been in contact with each other. We had an enjoyable conversation.
Tom shared with me that he and his wife celebrated their 50th Wedding Anniversary last month. They have plans to go on a cruise within the next few weeks. He is enjoying retirement in Lexington, SC. They travel back to Chicago to see a son and daughter and travel to Louisville to see another son. He is no longer golfing. I said I understood he is a Chicago White Sox fan. He corrected me, that he is a Cubs fan. He added that, while he underwent cataract surgery recently, he and his wife are doing well.
I extended to him and his wife a personal invitation to our class reunion. He expressed his regrets. He did ask that I pass his greetings on to everyone attending the reunion. He said he has been to the Outer Banks previously and commented they are beautiful. He informed me that he has also come to Raleigh, NC, a couple times when the Black Hawks were playing the Hurricanes in hockey. I invited him to call me when he is in Raleigh again.
In closing, Tom expressed his best wishes to everyone!
