July 2005
I wish to let everybody know I will be in
In the recent days looking the organization of the upcoming
reunion, I got to wondering how many people from the first grade that became
class the graduating classes of 1960, 1961 and 1962. I would love to know since
I am one of the members of Mrs. Fox (Wright) class. It would be interesting if
we could all get to gather and have a group picture of the three first grade
classes.
For those who are wondering, the reunion company has started to
work on the flyers. You should see them sometime during July.
I want to thank Sue Ewing Schupack (’61) for all her efforts in organizing the many
activities.
The reunion committee will not start a
group for the activities, that is your responsibility.
We only find the information for your enjoyment. A special
thanks to Jim Haire (’62) and Jim Hood (’60) in finding classmates.

Thanks
for sharing Linda's and your stories.

Here is
my story:
After
completing high school, I attended electronic technician vocational training in
After 11
moves in 18 years to seven different states, we felt our family needed some
roots, and took a transfer to VA with Tandem Computers in 1979. We have
been in
Since
settling here I had the opportunity to go back to school and
completed my BA in Management.
Our kids
grew up and
I Left
Tandem Computers, and worked for Amdahl Computers until I volunteered for an
early out in 1993. We purchased a Furniture Medic Franchise in 1996, and
have done quite well. We are now trying to decide if we will sell the
business when our 10 year franchise expires or to renew. We are having so
much fun doing this, I wish I would have had the
opportunity 10 years earlier.
I have
been involved with Boy Scouting for many years;
committee member and Assistant Scout master in
Doris and
I have always loved animals. We have 3 border collies and a cat. If
anyone knows anything about dogs,they
understand that border collies need to work. We searched for a couple of
years, but after trying herding, got hooked, as have the dogs. We visit a
couple of farms every month or so, and herd sheep, under the tutelage of a
master. We
have competed and won some ribbons. So, I guess for my third career, I'll
become a Shepard. When we finally retire we want to get a small farm
with sheep.
Our
daughter has an 8 year old boy, whose father died, so I and my two sons who
live in the area serve as substitutes. One of our sons
has daughters 8 and 5, and a son 3. All of our children and grand
children live locally except our youngest son who lives with his wife in
This
life, as we all experience,has
had its ups and downs; We have had fun and have had challenges. I
believe that God placed us all on this planet with a plan in mind; we are sent
here to learn, to overcome, and to bring joy to others. We are doing the
best we can and I think so far we are winning.
