Andy Oney - "Where are they now?"



Brother "Stonehead", fellow member of the pledges from hell, Fall 1987. Holy cow, has it been that long?

I met Andy for lunch in Myrtle Beach with his father. I hadn't met his dad before, but he said that he was visiting Erie the weekend that we pushed a giant boulder up the hill, so I am sure I had seen him... just not shook his hand. Andy's dad spends his winters in Myrtle Beach, and Andy has a timeshare, and is down often. A few years ago, Andy was visiting his dad, and heard my voice on the TV. He had no idea I was here doing weather, and his dad did not believe that he knew me. He called, but I was working that week, and unable to meet up.


Not much has changed with Stonehead. He is still working for Budwieser, and after a few lean years following the sale to a European company, business is booming again, and Andy feels that the New York brewery is going to keep on brewing that delicious lager.



I was trying to figure out the last time I saw Andy, and I think that I have not seen him since college. He did go to one of the reunions in Stone Valley, PA... but after some discussing, we figured out that it was the year that the lake was empty and everyone got their trucks stuck in the mud. I missed that year. It was great to see Andy, and we plan on getting together when he visits in October. I have his email and phone number. If anyone wants it, shoot me an email.

Anyone else coming to Myrtle Beach? I'd love to see you!
