Hello fellow classmates ... Bill and I just went through all these wonderful pictures and tried to put names to as many faces as possible. Looks like a good time! We wished we could read every name tag -- but these old eyes can't quite read all the last names. We recognized many of you -- Debbie Turner, Paul Williams & Suzie, Billy Rosenthal, Randy McFarland & Dianna, Van Green & Marcy, Don Stanford (no Dianne Byers?), Mike Irvin, Stanley Eisenmann, David Keltner, Dan Anthony, Chris Hawkins, Becky Whitten, Barbara Agee, David Bloxom, Martha Ankele (didn't see Ralph Dean?) Nancy Chatmas, Cynthia Wendland, Susie McDonald, Debbie Coker, Kathy O'Byrne, Melinda Wexler, Linda Taylor, Hope Griffith, Mike & Andy Nance and Cheryl, Don Payte & Cynthia Chapman, Greg Brooks, Lewis Hall, Richard Melina, Bill Carson, Joan Landrum??, Brice Parks, Barbie Simons, Suzie Allen ... just to name a few. Good to see you all! The rest of you -- we just couldn't quite put names to the faces. But to be honest, we didn't know everyone in our huge class even in 1968 (the downside of going to a big school like Paschal.) Even Bill and I barely knew each other then -- we reconnected in Austin in 1972 -- married the next year -- so we just celebrated our 50th in May.
We looked for, but DIDN'T SEE good friends Tom and Karen Rall (guess they sat this one out, like we did -- the 50th was our last) or Nicki Thompson, or Charlie Davis, or Nancy Maples & Steve Madsen, or Cheryl Williams & David Browning, or Cyndi Yoder, or Rick Seltzer, or Shannon Sedwick (you've never come!!!) Hope you are all well.
Then we went through "In Memory" and spoke the name of every person we actually knew. There are invisible threads weaving through the universe ... connecting us all ... and so many great memories.
Thanks for the trip down memory lane!
