Max, you're off the hook until August. I'm having car issues and had to change plans. I won't be there tonight and informed Marv that he has to drink for all 3 of us.

Hope everyone has fun at Cheeks.

Please think of Jim and Allida tonight. They're having a terrible time after losing their granddaughter Kendall on Mother's Day.

Allida Frisch (Altemus)

Thank you everyone for your thought and prayers. This is a nightmare we won’t wake up from. A bright ray of sunshine has gone out of our lives. That girl had so much to give to the world. Fly high Kendall.

Marvin Theobald

This post is with very mixed feelings. Our mini-reunion at Cheeks last night was a very joyfull time of friendly conversation and sharing of stories with the 25 classmates and spouses attending. It is hard to be too exuberant about such a nice event when other classmates are suffering so severely from their recent losses. Speaking not only for myself but for those who expressed their sentiments at the event last night, our hearts go out to the Eddings family and to Annie for the loss of Mike. Also, to the Altemus family for the loss of a beautiful granddaughter in such a tragic way. This has been a very sad week. These class events, for those of us that participate, seem like such an important means of showing that we are all connected and care for each other. By staying connected we share the happiness and the sadness of these life events together.

Terri Baxter (Whirrett)

I am deeply saddened by the recent losses to all. My thoughts and prayers are with Annie , the Eddings Family, Alida and all her family. Although I seldom comment, I come to our website daily and am glad to keep up with some of you through it.  I am sorry to miss the August reunion as we are headed up there the May 26 - June 2 for graduation. I will be in Bloomington May 30 and June 1 if anyone would like to meet.

I just got word that Jim Davis passed away in December. This class if getting hit hard. Sorry folks. 

I have found that Flora Willis Wilson has passed away too. I posted the only thing I can find on Flora in the In Memory section. 

Michael (Mike) Franks

David Long:   I did receive your note, delivered to my in-box. I apologize that I have not yet responded. I intend to write an Re very soon. I agree that our classmates probably don't want to share in our exploits. It was a long time ago, but it was something that affected all of us and seems to linger, even after more than 50 years. You remain in my thoughts. I wish you well.

Mike

Sandra Jeakins (Singletary Sizemore)

Milan,  Thanks for posting about Flora Willis Wilson being deceased.  I have checked the "In Memory" section and don't find anything about her.  Can you help?   Thank you

HAPPY BELATED BIRTHDAY VICKI!!

HOPE YOU HAD A FUN DAY!!

Milan Jackson

This is all I could find. No obit as of yet. 

Milan Jackson

Everything lines up right for this to be our Flora but I don't feel right about it. I know who her parents were and I know she marries Ronald Wilson who died in 1977. I know who her children were and I can't find any of them. I am pretty good at this but I have run into a wall. I need to find her son, Richard Duane Wilson. 

Sandra Jeakins (Singletary Sizemore)

Thank you, Milan.  I will let Rosalie Smith Schirer know.  She was really close with Flora in high school but had lost contact with her.  She doesn't have access to a computer.  I have thought of Flora so many times over the years, it's sad to know she died so young.

Karen Sue (Suzi) Denton (Merritt)

HAPPY BIRTHDAY JUDY!!

Linda Bristow (Elias)

Sunday, May 20, 2018 a Virgin statue of Our Lady of Guadalupe began crying tears in Our Lady of Guadalupe Church, 914 S. Selman St., Hobbs, NM  88240  (575-393-4991.(In case any of you wish to go also) 

They have not locked the doors since this began and are allowing people to worship 24 hours a day.

I will be taking a cotton ball to pray for my grandson.  They let you catch a tear to take for annointing your ill, or for whomever you are praying.

David Long, I wonder if your new leg could get help?

Blessings to you all!

Linda

🎂🎁🥃🎈🍰🎉🍻

Joan Pease (Clark)

Milan, I appreciate this updated list - so many familiar names from childhood before moving to California. One update; please add a flag after my twin's name, John Pease. He served in Vietnam. Thank you, Joan

Milan Jackson

The Class of 1964 had 333 graduates.  You have lost 77. 

Terry (Max) Maxwell

Milan...

I count 77 names that you have listed above.

Max

Milan Jackson

Sorry Max, I wrote the wrong figure down. :)

Milan Jackson

I find it interesting how close the figures are between classes. The class of 1963 had 266 grads and lost 66 classmates. The class of 1962 had 303 grads and have lost 76. The class of 1962 lost 25%, the class of 63 lost 25%, the class of 1964 lost 23%. 

Susan (Sue) Leben (Ochs)

Milan Jackson, thank you so much for listing everyone that has passed.

David Long

Hi Everyone!  A Belated HAPPY BIRTHDAY to everyone who's big day I missed.  Hope everyone is well.

Linda, yes, I could definitely use a tear drop!  If it weren't a 17 hour drive, I'd be there.

As we remember our loved ones, our classmates and friends on this Memorial Day, I have a special request that you add the following to your thoughts and prayers today.  I look at the following list often and remember my friends that gave the ultimate sacrifice for our Nation.  Thanks for your thoughts and prayers.  God Bless you ALL!

India Company 3/3 KIAs

Our Fallen Warriors will never be forgotten

As you say prayers and remember our loved ones, please also pray for the guys on the following list.  These men were my friends that died around me while I was serving with them in Vietnam.  The actual list from India Company includes many more from 1965 - 1970, but I just pulled the short list from the dates I was in country. 

Your thoughts and prayers for them on Memorial Day are appreciated!
