  Hi Lata Badhe
  I responded to your post to me much earlier, as soon as I read your note as a matter of fact, but did not know I was supposed to click below on "Add Comment." that's why my comment to you was not posted on your page. Sorry for the delayed response. It was great reading your note.
  Here's a bit about Diane & I.
  As you read we have three children:
  Tamika Maria 18 a froshman at Florida Gulf Coast University, psychology major GPA 3.8 and beautiful like her mother, but my brains LOL. She was a color guard in high school and took dancing lessons and became quite good at it. She danced a ballet solo…you know... on her tows, in a show put on by her music teacher along with the other dancde students. Obviously, I was very impressed and very blessed. I proudly told my neighbors sitting next to me in that theater that that beautiful girl dancing is MY DAUGHTER.
  Corban Roberto 16 a jr in hs, honors roll consecutively, self taught guitarist and doing a concert later this morning 12/09 in Orlando. He will seek a law degree and plans to play guitar as a hobby. Would enter Julliard if accepted, but not a priority. He played a solo in a show at his hs. I was very impressed and blessed to say the least. I proudly told my neighbors sitting next to me that that handsome young man playing that 12-string guitar is MY SON.
  Landon Bernard 14 a 7th grader and also honors student, a drummer, not self taught though, he’s taking lessons from a Julliard grad and plans to play drums in the high school band in 2 yrs. At that time I will say to my neighbors sitting next to me in that theater that that handsome young fellow playing those drums is MY SON.
  My boys get their musical aptitude probably from their aunt, Diane’s sister who sings for Diane and I are great dancers of all Latin music and disco at best, not musicians. I used to spin records in a discoteque in NYC before I took PFAL in 1980.
  I travel to Miami and Sunrise, FL once a month or when I can to teach and minister. Diane and I run a fellowship and I travel once a year to Venezuela to teach and minister there as well.
  My email is in my profile, if you'd like to email me. My cell is 727 244 2934 if you'd want to call me.
  I will post pictures of the family when my daughter comes home for the holidays.
  I luv u,
  Roberto.

  Yes, of course, I remember you... and your sister. It's great to hear how well you are doing. Your son is very good looking!! - and you look fabulous yourself. How is your sister doing?

  Lata,
  
  Tom hasn't written back to us either, but if you contact Judy Funderud, she could give you his info. Have a great day. "I can only imagine," one of my very favorite songs.
  
  Have a great day,

  I lost touch with everybody during the years. But God hasn't. Let's ask him to drag some of our old friends here. I mean fellowship is a good thing,,Don't you agree?

  Ted nailed it. Lotta Body..who could forget that! Actually, my memories of that time are coming back slowly. There was so much that happened during that time that I packed away without a serious consideration of how it changed me or the other folks that I spent time with during those years.
  Lots happened, lots to think about, but for now it's just great to reunite with our campadres from those times.
  It's great to see you again.
  Stay in touch.
  Al

  Hi Lata,
  Jean and I have spoken of you many times during the years. Please forgive me for the nature of my strongest 2 memories of you. #1) The time one of the Emporia staff people who had trouble pronouncing names was trying to read your name off a piece of paper during lunch . He pronounced "Lata Badhe" as "Lotta Body." #2) Your superhuman ability to literally take the cap off the cayenne dispenser and dump half of its contents onto your food and then eat it with a smile on your face!!!

  Actually my son will be annoyed that I keep saying he is 18. He turns 19 in a week and a half. Time flies. I am homeshcooling my daughter. My son works at the local movie theatre and is going to college. I work as a secretary for a small church close to my house. My kids and I run a fellowship. I teach and my son usually leads worship. My daughter fills in when he has to work or something. They both can sing and play the guitar. My daughter is learning to play the piano also.
  I can't believe you worked for ESPN. That is so cool. The guys I know will think that is cool.
  Love,

  Wow, girl. It is so good to see you here. We had so much fun on that trip we took our first year before Corps week. What an adventure. You look really good. I am here in El Paso, TX with my two kids. Danny is 18 and Hope is 14. I am doing good. This is a great way to keep in touch.
