If you are on my regular e-mail list, I was hacked.  DON'T order anything which says it was recommended by me.  I wouldn't do that.  It appears as if it came from my e-mail address, IT DIDN"T.  I think it claims to have a tie-in to Dr. Oz.  It is a complete gimmick to get your money.  I have NOTHING to do with it.

I've seen that group on TV and enjoyed them.  If you haven't seen the movie Jersey Boys, go it is a fun movie and you'll learn things you didn't know about their back-ground.

Just a little reminder to all my friend's.  Please DON"T forward anything to me off the internet.  You will be wasting your time.  I will not read it.  It will be marked as spam and deleted.  On the other hand if you have a personal note for me I'm always happy to hear from you.

Dear Classmates, 

Everytime one of our classmate friends dies I think we're too young to die but this morning the news announced the death of former Miss America Mary Ann Mobley at 75 and then listed the average life span of Americans as 78.8 years.  OMG, we are at the do or die, now or never point, get things in order and work on completing your bucket list because that is just a blink of the eye away.  Well that was my slap in the face this morning and I'm just passing it on.

Sorry to hear that. I think of her every time I bake chocolate chip cookies. I use 1 bowl. She used one for each ingredient. Loved cooking class. Hated sewing.

Sheila,

Del Swearingen was on the school staff and he coached Sophomore Basketball, Track, and Assistant Football

The reason I know this I look it up in The Aepix of 1961.

Hope everything is going well with you and your family.  Nice to see you on the Class website.

Take care and maybe we will see you next October at the reunion.
