Long Time Friends by hjbenson

Long Time Friends

Over the past couple of days, several of 365ers have posted one to three of these wise monkeys. I have my own set, it was given to me in the 60s by Wanda, a friend, when I was about to be transferred. On the bottom of the monkeys she inscribed my name, her name, and my roommate's name, Harry Shuey. Harry and I have remained loosely in touch over the years. In 2009 Harry called and said we should get together again. We did and still meet about once a month. Once when he was here, I showed him the wise monkeys that I had kept over the years. He said we should track down Wanda, We did locate her and have corresponded by emails.
These are just too comical! Love them!
