I'd like to wish Merry Christmas to ALL of my fellow Jim Reeves fans. I'm almost 74 years old now so I don't know how many more Christmases GOD will let me see down here. And I know some of you are older than me! I pray that we all might meet in Heaven some day.

Merry Christmas to you too, Gary. I know you said you're 74 years old. Fortunely, I'm still young-- I'm only 73, lol! Just kidding. Yeah, we're both up there on the age ladder, but to me, it's only a number. They say you're as young as you feel. I believe that. Hope you feel the same way. All the best to you and all that do what they can to keep Jim's memory alive!...

I'm 74 as well. I think this is why we all seem to have similar Jim Reeves memories.

I think that is way we all love good music.

A lot of school classmates have passed, but so far so good.

I notice relatives are starting to act like I'm circling the drain.

The median death date is 79. That means half live longer than 79.

I think we are all OK.

And a Merry Christmas to all the young fellers here that just posted. Back in my day we would call you guys Young Whippersnappers. Compared to me, in a few months I will turn 77. Wow, how time goes into 'passing gear' on this road of life. Wish I was 73 again Mike.

But we must soldier on, even though we have less members. We must keep Jim's memory alive for as long as we are around.

RIGHT ON!

Or as in the military 5x5 which stands for LOUD AND CLEAR!

MESSAGE RECEIVED 5x5

I'm hoping to hear Jim on the national media's sound clips beginning and ending news stories.

Especially in this holiday season, Merry Christmas Polka, Jingle Bells, Silver Bells, and the finest Silent Night on the planet should do. They should satisfy popular musical acceptance.

I keep trying.
