Lynda Beattie (Boomer)
This is Bill Boomer:
1. Thank you for your note -- what memories of 60 years ago!!
2. Lynda Beattie and I have been married 54 years -- we got married right after college -- we now live in Macomb, Illinois, which is about an hour east of Ft. Madison -- we are both retired -- Lynda was a high school English and psychology teacher, and I was a professor of special education (adolescents with behavior disorders).
3. FMHS '61 classmates in the area get together once a month for lunch -- we're meeting this Friday, July 12 -- it is nice to see people and get caught up on their lives.
4. Something funny -- recently I said to Betty McClinthen, she is very pretty and a very nice girl, "Betty, you look just like you did in high school." She said, "Oh, my God -- I looked liked this in high school!! No wonder I never had a date!!" Of course, like any good politician, I didn't apoligize and quickly denied I ever said it.
5. I think that you and I are among the few who didn't become lifers at DuPont -- Bill Mathews, Don Leach, and David Brown all made a career at DuPont -- I'm sure that there are others I can't think of.
I hope you will stay touch. Bill & Lynda Boomer
