I love the pictures! I have to scan some of my old pictures and post them. It is great to read about your life and see your pictures. You seem to have your hands full with four sons and a stepdaughter! I have one and he keeps me…"

Oh my goodness! I was just thinking about you. I pulled out some old pix and found some from the "Down to the Last Joint" play. Remember? Wow! It's good to hear from you. Hope you and your family are well.
Hugs and love you you all,
Tanya
Your family reminds me of my family when we were just getting started. I was as outnumbered as you. You have a house full of guys and I had a house full of girls until my oldest son was born.
God Bless,
Lester
We spent our interim year in Atlanta when those kids were getting killed. I remember everybody joking about how we were going to get assigned to Atlanta and I totally dismissed it until we were sent to Atlanta. Ha!
It was one of the best years of my life and it is a big reason why I am an architect now instead of a carpenter.
It is so good te hear from you. I am posting some photos tonight that will bless you. You are in the set, Janet & Shelley too!
God Bless,
Lester
I have an old photo of you that I could post. You are in front of the Golden Gate Bridge at Seal Rock a very long time ago.
I hope that all is well with you!
God Bless,
Lester
You are probably wondering who I am (at least as far as my last name is concerned)…
Well, I used to be Joe Hanson.
(Depending on just how far back we go, you might have already figured that out!)
About 17 years ago, I had my name legally changed back to the name I was born with…
Joseph Sebastian Purpura III
Although it is a very long story, Hanson was the last name of my then step-father Jim.
I had always expected that I would change it back some day!
There is much I can say (regarding what I have been up to) for the past 20+ years, but as to not sound redundant, just check out my info page (I just updated it with more stuff)…
http://waycorps.ning.com/profile/JoePurpura
On that page, you will also find photos from “the good old days”!
I will be adding more and more pictures as I have time to scan them (so check back often – by the time I am done, there will be a large number of them – I AM TALKING DOZENS!).
I had pretty much lost touch with everyone from “the group” (that is, once I had moved to Seattle, back in 1987) and it had stayed that way…
That is, until I got a phone call out of the blue from Linus!
(It is quite the story how he got my phone number – his dad got a hold of my uncle – neither of us knew that they actually knew each other, let alone having each other’s email addresses).
Among other things, Linus told me about this “Way Corps” website.
Since speaking to Linus, I have also had a telephone conversation with Lester (Carver).
Him and his wife Vanessa (who by the way were married by Greg Bernardini, if you didn’t know) apparently have quite the brood (I forget how many, but I believe he said that they have like 5 or 6 kids).
He also told me that Lorenzo is the C.E.O. of a very large company out of Denver.
(And to think he went to the Berkley College of Music to become a musician – I wonder what happened?).
Lester and his family live in Indianapolis. If you want to email him (as far as I know, he is not currently on the Way Corps website yet), he is at…
artios357@usa.net
OH, BY THE WAY…
I just started this Blog (here on the Way Corps website). I call it…
JUNIOR CORPS STORIES (what really happened!)
It is my hope that you (and everyone else) will add stories to it!
The Blog address is…
http://waycorps.ning.com/profiles/blogs/junior-corps-stories-what#c...
There are only two rules concerning the submission of stories to this Blog…
BE THOROUGH and DEFINITELY DONT HOLD BACK!
(In other words, REALLY TELL IT LIKE IT WAS!)
I think you will enjoy reading the stories I have already posted (and keep checking back, I will be adding more stories as I have time for it).
Also, here is my address (I recently bought the house)…
Joe Purpura
301 East Birch Avenue
Ritzville, Washington 99169
(509) 659-0700
If you haven’t been to my info page yet, I just moved here from Seattle (that is after 22 years of being there), in part to concentrate on my writing!)
And my personal email address is…
joe@joepurpura.com
(Just be careful who you give this email address out to – so far this address has been spam free and I would really like to keep it that way – THANKS!)
Finally, (if you can) please say a prayer for my sister Suzanne, she was hit by a car recently and has been the hospital (she has already had 4 operations on her leg)!
Although she is not on this website, you can email her (and I know she would enjoy hearing from you!). Her email address is…
Suzanne.Belluardo@intusurg.com
You might also like to know that her and her husband Johnny just had their 2nd child (Michael) back in October (his older brother Matthew will be 6 in March).
Sue works in Robotics (the kind of Robot that surgeons use to operate on you). She started out as a Post-Open-Heart, I.C.U. Nurse (by graduating at the top of her class in Nursing School).
I AM QUITE PROUD OF HER!
I hope you have the time to either email, or post a message on my info page. I really look forward to hearing how things have been for you and yours.
Later,
Joe
How are you? We both need to get a picture out here!! I rarely get the chance to get on here I stay so busy w/other stuff and since I'm on a computer all day I normally don't even want to think about sitting in front of the screen... Let's keep in touch and try to do a reunion!!!
besos y abrazos
Claudi
It's been a long time - I enjoy great memories of hanging out around HQ and even in San Fransisco in '87.
Talk to you later,
Ted
