SO MANNY CHECKS..SUCH GENEROUS GIVING

You all are so generous. We more than covered the expenses and now have a healthy balance as you can see. Talk it over at the next luncheon about what you want to do with this balance. In the mean while maybe someone is in need.  If so let me know by email or a call. 

Thank you all in total it was 12 families that gave, some were a combined check. Maybe now this can be a guide of how much will be needed in the future for flowers etc.

BELOW IS A SCREEN SHOT OF THE OFFICIAL 

TCA CLASS OF 1957 SITE

If you have not joined I would recommend that you do join and bookmark it so you can visit often. Joan Stoner is keeping it up to date, and there is a lot of good stuff there. This site and the official site are not in competition but just two different ways of keeping folks in touch.

I encourage you to join the TCA site and in the meanwhile I will talk to Joan and see how we can work together to promote more communications with classmates and how I can share items posted here on her site too.

GARY RICHARDSON

To All,


   I feel very sad to report that last week our former classmate, Gary
Richardson, passed away after fighting a very difficult fight with cancer.
When he was diagnosed last fall, and told that he wouldn't make it to
Christmas, he told me that he would "show them" that he would make it thru the
New Year, and he did.  I spoke with him 2 weeks ago, and he asked if his voice
still sounded strong.  I said yes it did, and he said that my Dad had taught
him that that a strong, firm voice could overcome a lot of deficiences.  He
weighed less than 120 lb. but he still had a strong voice.
Please say a prayer for his soul.  Per Gary's wish, he was cremated and I
believe his ashes thrown in the Pacific Ocean.

                                 Love you all,

                                 Pat

Thanks you Pat for writing. I too was a friend with Gary and will miss him. I know that others from our time in High School will also remember him with fondness.

Update on our care fund. First of all Vivian Blankenship attended Bob Huffman's funeral as did some other classmates. Vivian reported that the family was pleased with the Peace Lily we had sent.

Bob Huffman was the third classmate to pass recently and we also sent a plant for James Brown and Lloyd Robinson.

The cost for all three came to #131.19 and I am glad to say that the donations (you know who you are) came to $165.00 leaving us with a balance of $33.81. Thank you everyone for your donations.
I could think of something funny to say right now, but I'll resist and just close with love to all.

I received a thank you note from Lloyd Robinsons family. Thank you for your donations for the
flowers.

Sorry to say another classmate has passed away. I was looking forward to renewing our friendship we had in school years.
