What's New

When I see our High School Classmates being posted with another one of us going to our eternal home it reminds me of an old poem. It goes like this...

I walked a mile with pleasure

She chatted all the way

But left me none the wiser

For all she had to say

I walked a mile with sorrow

And never a word said she

But oh the  things I learned from her

When sorrow walked with me

RIP Ann

Ann was my first school friend, meeting in Kindergarten. I have so many funny and happy memories with Ann. I was just in Liverpool UK and thought of all our mornings where we met before school to listen to their records. Ann was the first to get the "beatle" haircut. We have always stayed in touch and I value the last time when she and Henri visited us in San Luis Obispo. I thought it was unusal when I didn't hear from her on my birthday. Now I know why. Ann was a beautiful human, inside and out. She was such a trooper though all of her health issues.  I am happy she is now in heaven, free from all of them. RIP Ann until we meet again.

This news makes me sad! She was a vital part our Class. May God bless and comfort Ann's family.

Happy birthday Tim!! 73? No worries as it’s the new 53!?? Right??? That’s what we say in Oregon.

Dear Virgie. She was my best childhood buddy and playmate. She lived around the corner from me growing up. When I was 7 years old Virg and her family helped get me through my parents' divorce. She was like a sister to me. After high school and I moved to Oregon I would always visit and have lunch with her whenever I came to Bakersfield to see my parents. No matter how long between visits it was like no time had passed at all. I will truly miss my dear childhood friend. She was a gem.

Happy belated birthday Linda. Hope all is well with you.

Happy birthday dear friend. I’m so glad it was a wonderful day for you.

What a nice guy. Need more people like him. Although I haven't talked to him in years I doubt he changed from the sweet person he was in school. I'll miss him and my condolences go out to his family.
