Letter from a former STUD

Hey Guys,
I was a member back in the late nineties and happened to come across your website. Got wondering if anybody there is still a member and remembers me. Back then we had a home golf course at Louven La Neuve though we played all over the area , at times in France.

Perhaps someone would remember Kelly, a former President of the Club. I visited him and family during the fall of 2002 in Singapore where we played golf in Indonesia and Malasia -- quite the life, when the wive's were working, that is.

Mine was French from Paris and she worked for NATO, and as I was a retired Air Force jock I had all the benefits of both NATO and US retiree status. Lived in Stockel, not far from where you hold the Friday get togethers, which back then were actually in a Stockel coffee shop just off the Square.

I'm retired now, living in Ft Lauderdale and I gotta admit, Florida is the place to retire. Got a French built 32' Beneteau sailboat and am enjoying the Caribbean waters.

STUDS is/was a great idea and it is pleasant to see it remains for guys -- and I understand some gals -- to connect to share mutual interests. Didja know STUDS was actually started by a coupla wives trying to find something for their husbands to occupy themselves? The weekly meetings began at a McDonalds on Friday mornings, rain or shine of course, and involved mostly golfers. And we were really patient with those who joined even though not golfers.

OK fellow STUDS forever..................Bonne Chance a tout.
