2008 PICNIC UPDATE
Got a call from Becky Jackson (59) who said she would be able to attend but not until after lunch. Look forward to seeing you Becky.
Several more classmates contacted me to say they would love to attend but couldn't. They want to say hello to everyone. They include:
Leo Johnson of Denver CO - ljohnson@atdenver.com
Mary Simmons-Fields of Stuttgart AR - mfields@producersrice.com
Betty Taylor-Davis - betty.davis.hxyu@statefarm.com (Love your eyes, Betty)
Kay Nowak of Tampa Bay, FL - knowak2@tampabay.rr.com
CHS CD movie "The 1951 CHS Dedication Video and Pictures from the past"
Jan Scott (68), a youngster, will be at the picnic offering copies for sale of the above CD celebrating the 50 year anniversary of CHS. Jan was part of the alumni committee that generated this CD and can be reached at JScott4607@aol.com .
Roland Pierce of Penny's Confectionary Passes
Cecil Comte (57) informed me more than a week ago that Roland Pierce, son of Fred Pierce that operated Penny's, the coolest hangout of the fifties, has passed away. We saw Bob Lannigan (58) at the '58 reunion last week and he said he was going to the funeral. Our condolences to the Pierce family. We will be doing a feature "Memories of Penny's" on this blog sometime in the future.
Pictures Of Past Picnics
Ron Wasser (58) has posted pictures of previous picnics on the web to share with all of us. Just click on this link, Ron's Picture Gallery ,to enjoy and share. I think these are downloadable or you can purchase them from the site for just pennies. We thank Ron for doing our picnic photos including the group photos each year.
We will be posting more pictures in the future. For a small charge of $20.00 per person we will "photoshop" your picture at your direction. Bigger breasts (or smaller for the guys), tight abs, tiny waist, fill-in bald spots, etc. For a lesser fee of of $10.00 we will agree to lose your picture and not post it.
Denny Reed
I got absolutely great news from Denny Reed whose wife Marcia has been battling a severe form of cancer for almost two years. Denny writes, "Marcia and I have received a flat out miracle. They performed a PET scan which can pinpoint exactly where any cancer is in your body and it detected nothing." Denny says they are taking this news a day at a time and thanks a merciful God and all those who have prayed for Marcia and for him. Denny and Marcia live on what sounds like a beautiful 200 acre farm with a stream, springs and caves, near Branson, MO. They commute to Barnes in St Louis for Marcia's care.
That's it for right now. Keep coming back for more news about classmates and friends. To comment or just say hi, click on the "comments" link at the end of this message.
