  Today is Skeeter's birthday.  I can't sing (sound like a frog) but I would if I could.  
Teddie said his new name is Crispy!  I bet he is the favorite patient by far.  This has taken a toll on Fran.  The patient rests but the caregiver doesn't   They have wonderful kids who help her, but I pray for her lots.                    

My grandkids are way grown. Youngest is 23 and just finished her CPA tests.  Now she has letters after her name.  She is going to be president of the world.her life's ambition has been to be smarter than her older brother.  Now she has a Masters Degree and he doesn't    Kids are so different.  He works for Google and has a great job.  Right now he is on paternity leave since his wife had baby #2.  Now I have two great grandchildren.  First one is now two.  I am blessed.  The world has certainly changed.  Paternity leave.  Wow!  When I had my first daughter I was shown the door when I was 7 months pregnant.  "Don't come back because women should stay home with children"   Of course I was the breadwinner while Ron was in med school.  I was working elsewhere when she was five weeks  old.  My mother took care of her.  Now mothers and fathers get three months leave.  Different times.

We need your help.  We have piictures from all class of 64's reunions with the exception of our 10 Year reunion at the Shamrock Hotel.  If anyone has pictures or any memoriabilia from our ten year reunion you could share with us we would greatly appreciate it.  

Thanks

I'd like to wish a happy, happy birthday to Beverly Hengst Allen.  Beverly is the Administrator of our Waltrip '64 Website.  She posts the wonderul uplifting messages on our Home Page and sends out mass emails and Message Forum class updates.  Whenever there is a technical "glitch," Beverly gets it fixed.

Thank you, Beverly, for keeping our class in touch.

By the way, today was Jackie's birthday, too.  Happy Birthday Day in Heaven, Jackie.

Thank you Jimmie, Ronna and Richard for the happy birthday wishes.  Also, Jimmie and Rona for the kind words.  By the way, Jimmie is my backup for this website.

The reunion committee is working hard to make sure our 60th reunion in April will be a great event.  It is being held during the day so classmates will not have to drive in the dark.  Please come and enjoy reconnecting with your classmates and enjoy some great food.  There may be a surprise too.

Good morning.  My sister is visiting from Houston-Janis Brantley Chandler, class of 1963.  She and her daughter drive up to New Braunfels every few months to hang out and shop at the feed store.  I always enjoy her visits.  I can't comfortably get to Houston.  I am having another back surgery March 8.  Prayers appreciated.  We are working on sorting photos from the last fifty years.  
my second great grandson is two months old.  His two year old brother loves him.  I have the Old Testament two year old Elijah and the New Testament two month old Matthew Silas.

Sandi Schlesinger (Stark)

What an adorable picture of your precious great grandsons, Pat. They are so cute and will be providing you much joy in the coming years. 
Hope all goes well with your back surgery and I will be among many others praying for your successful surgery and speedy recovery.

Missing the great man, Beau, he succumbed from a very serious and horrible disease,, wishing Diane and family all my wishes of healing. You know you lost a great man.  In school we didn't know him, here we knew him well....missing Beau

Diane Cunningham (Wann ('72))

Thank you Kay for your kind words and remembering Beau.  He certainly loved this message forum and all of you in class of '64.  (and '63, 65 and everyone from Waltrip and Oak Forest!)

It is spring break, rodeo, Round Top and bluebonnet season!  I can tell because of the traffic on 290.  The bluebonnets and all wildflowers are showing off.  My hill is full of Indian Paintbrush and clumps of Bluebonnets.I have been reseeding the hill for Bluebonnets, but it will take another year or two.  If you come up this way, there are some great fields of bluebonnets in Brenham and beyond or come by and join me on the porch to enjoy this great weather, wildflowers and a beverage.

Good morning, everyone!  Patty (Pat Williams)) asked me to update our class on what is happening in her life right now. She is in the process of moving soon to an assisted living facility because of pulmonary and breathing issues.  Her electricity went out over this past weekend for over 8 hours. As you know, Patty is on oxygen 24/7. She experienced a truly traumatic situation when an incident occurred and she realized there was no one there to help her. It took this incident to make her realize she had to make a change. Patty has already found a place not far from where she currently lives that she really likes. She said she will do whatever it takes to not ever again be as frightened as she was over the weekend! Patty has that awesome attitude: "As Sonny and Cher used to sing, "And the beat goes on!'"

Patty is still going to try to come to the reunion. Alot has to transpire between now and then.  Please keep her in your thoughts and prayers!


03/16/24 05:00 AM #11032    

 

Teddie Jordan

Prayers have been lifted up, and will continue to be,, for Dear  Patty!


03/17/24 06:00 PM #11033    

 

Ronna Brand

Prayers are being lifted that Pat will find peace and joy in her new home!

Pat Brantley (Ross)

Praying for Pat. Our life transitions are getting closer together.  I had a minor back surgery that my husband said would be a walk in the park.  I got mugged in that park.  Pain from just moving for four days and then it was gone!  My sister Janis (class of 63) and her daughter have been coming up to visit once a month.  They are coming for the solar eclipse party we are having outside of Waring.  I know the traffic will be bad that morning, but we have friends who have property that will afford us a fantastic view.  My niece will love their miniature horses.  There will be about ten of us.  Now that I feel better I have to get in the kitchen and make some sweets.

still praying for Teddie.

Hi Scotty,  there is handicap parking, but no valet.  Try to get there on time to get one of the spots.  We have had last minute registrations and are expecting a nice crowd.
