Old Friends

At the restaurant today had Clinton, one of our waiters, come back and say that we had some old friends in that would like to say hello if we had a minute to come out.  They said they knew us when Dave was just tiny.  I was wondering who it might be and was thinking it was infant Dave so pre-Hawaii.  Turned out is was Hawaii-Dave time period and I recognized them as soon as I saw them.  George and Judith Meldrum.  George was dads first counselor in the Bishopric and they had a son, John, who was my age; a son Scott, who was Pete's age and another son who was maybe Jay's age and though they told me his name earlier I can't remember it right now.  Want to say Daniel but could be completely wrong.  Anyhow, we called the folks and they were able to come down and visit.  That was good.  I enjoyed visiting with them for a bit as we waited on the folks to arrive.  It has been 25 years since I last saw the Meldrums.  Pretty amazing to visit for a bit and feel like it was just yesterday that we were all living in Hawaii Kai together.  Grateful for memories and for friends who last a lifetime.
