I already did email him yesterday and told him to mark his calendar for the Fall of 2016 for our 55th reunion! I was happy he made changes to his profile! So thanks Bill!

HE IS RISEN.....Happy Easter to everyone...may you each have a blessed day & be touched by a small quiet moument & realize how fortunate we all are. Thank you to each one who has served this country in order that we can worship as we choose.

I am in Austin, TX celebrating Easter with my one of my daughters, Lori, at my son, Lamar's & his family, amoung the Blue Bonnets. It's pretty special.

In my spare time have been tracking down missing classmates. The latest is Terry Tykeson. I remember him talking about Marceline Missouri so traccked down his parents who are deceased. On the orbit he is mentioned as Terry N. and Julie Tykeson of Kansas City Missouri. Perhaps some of you who live in that part of the country could look him up and invite him to join the rest of us on the site. I will continue to work on it from this end. Thanks!

Was reading the Burlington Hawkeye newspaper this morniing and saw Mike Bowen's obituary & photo. Am surprised no one had put it on the forum yet. As I read the obit, saw that he has a 1/2 sister here in Hamilton, and she's a very good friend of mine. Had no idea of the connection w/Mike. She said he was diagnoised w/cancer about a month ago & went very fast. Was very sorry to hear of Mike's passing.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY MR. NOONAN.....Guess I'll post a birthay wish to Terry on the forum, since I couldn't find a place to put it on his profile page. I must be getting older & not as computer savy as some. I hope you have a good day Terry & do lots of celebrating. AND also, have a great FATHER'S DAY.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, DARLA.  HOPE YOU HAVE A WONDERFUL DAY!

Thought I would post something to the message forum, since neither of us has been on it for quite awhile.  We are presently in Scottsdale,  AZ to begin a 2 week National Parks Tour......something that has been on our Bucket List.  We had originally booked this for 2014, but my extensive back surgery last October took precedence,  then Bill had his left hip replaced in early April.  Happy to report we are in good travel shape  now, even though I still have to wear a soft brace.  We are looking forward to the  55th Reunion  and catching up with everyone.  A big shout out of  THANKS to Sharon Nabulsi and all the other locals who are doing the planning work!  Hope we have a good turnout!  BLESSINGS TO EVERYONE  and stay well.  Sandy & Bill

Hugs, Nancy

Thanks Sharon for keeping us up to date on our lunch get togethers. 

I would like to share a big happy blessed event in my life...the wedding of my grandson, Jacob and his beautiful bride Syndi.  It was a very traditional church wedding with over a hundred people in attendance. Everything was perfect!  The banquet was delicious.  So great to connect with family and friends and meet new friends. This was the last of my six grandchildren to be married. All were married over a span of six years. So, I have been having some good times in my life.  

Hope all are well,  Nancy

Sandra Buckley (Matthews)

Sharon and all those attending the last luncheon at Amigos - I hope you all ate a taco for ME !!!  When Bill's folks were still alive and we came back to visit, it always included a meal at two places - the Cottage Cafe, so Bill's dad could have a piece of their homemade pie, and Amigos, so we could have authentic tacos !  We got back home the 28th from our trip out west to tour many of our nation's National Parks and my heart and mind are brmming over with the beauty of those mountains and canyons.  We had only been to the Grand Canyon before, back in 1989, when the boys were young, and as glorious as it is, I believe Bryce Canyon is actually my favorite now.  The rock formations are absolutely mesmerizing, both in design and color.  Another amazing adventure was in Salt Lake City, where we had the opportunity to see & hear the Morman Tabernacle Choir in rehearsal at the Conference Center and then attend an organ concert in the Tabernacle.  The organ has almost 12,000 pipes and the sound is magnificent.  Also, we got to spend an hour in their Geneology Computer Labs, looking up ancestors and following our family tree.  I was so darned excited to be able to go back on my mother's side of the family, through her mother (Sarah Noah Faulkner), to her father (my great grandfather, James D. Noah) to HIS mother (Lee Ann Noah, (my great-great grandmother who was born in 1812 in Kentucky) !!!!!  I now have the free website where I will try to investigate more on my grandmother Faulkner's maternal side, because I remember hearing stories that she had Native American Cherokee Indian ancestors from eastern Tennessee.  Anyway, the entire trip fulfilled many sights/experiences on our "bucket list" and we surely were blessed to be able to make this trip finally, after my back surgery and Bill's hip replacement.  WE look forward to next fall 2016 and the 55th Class Reunion to exchange stories with everyone.  Stay well - be happy - and don't forget to pray for our country as we go through this next presidential election - we need a true LEADER who values what America stands for, has moral values and respect for all human lives.  Warm Regards to all of you,  Sandy & Bill Matthews

Nan Nelson (Hays)

Sandy...wonderful hearing about your marvelous trip...thanks for posting...hugs to you and Bill.

Linda Hayes (Meyer)

It was nice to see everyone at the luncheon.  Glad you all could make it.  

My adventures have been few and far between for the last couple of years.  I still do my oil painting and enjoy that very much.  Visit with my children and have a great time with my youngest daughter and her son.  

Look forward to seeing all who can make it to the next lunch

Sharon Tincher (Scholl-Nabulsi)

Good to hear from Nancy and Sandy about your happenings. I wish more people would share.

This message is for Linda Hayes Meyer who says she can't read anything recent on this message forum. This is a test to see if she can read this message. If you are able to read this Linda let me know.

Bye Bye for now!

Linda Kirchner (Schrader)

Sharon...who all was at the luncheon?? It doesn't add up.......Linda Lu

Karan Kreighbaum (Faul)

Linda Lu... Sharon forgot you! You were at the luncheon... remember? lol

Sharon Tincher (Scholl-Nabulsi)

Linda Lu:  I am so sorry I forgot your name on  my list at the luncheon  and Karan and misspelled your last name. OMG! I am losing my marbles. So Sorry!!!

Linda Hayes (Meyer)

Sharon- got your post.  The Mediacom modem was defective.  They brought me a new one so now it works.  Thanks.

Karan Kreighbaum (Faul)

I have no complaints about your spelling of my name Sharon... you do a fantastic job!!!

Linda Hayes (Meyer)

I think you do too,Sharon.  I don't post much cause I don't do much that I think would be interesting to the rest of the class.  I did go the Salem, IA old Settler's Days last Sat.  They had an art exhibit at the library and various things in the park  We had lunch at the Underground which is named that because it was part of the Underground Railroad when the civil war was being fought.  I think that is correct.  Anyway they have great food there so if you are in that area you might give it a try.  

Some of the ladies that go to lunch once a month didnt get the email reminder.  I will post it on here as well as email.  Yahoo and Mediacom seem not to be talking to one another.  

Richard Gaule

Sharon if you are missing marbles I have a lot of spares that haven't been used.

The reunion is on my schedule and I plan to be there.  Would be nice if everyone came.

Dick

Sharon Tincher (Scholl-Nabulsi)

YES IT WOULD BE VERY NICE IF EVERYONE CAME. I WISH WE COULD FIND SOME OF THESE PEOPLE. DICK GAULE YOU SAVE SOME OF THOSE MARBLES FOR ME. I REALLY MAY NEED THEM AFTER THIS REUNION  IS OVER. BY THE WAY THIS WILL BE THE LAST REUNION THAT I WILL DO. IT'S BEEN FUN BUT TIME TO HANG IT UP. TAKE CARE EVERYONE !!!
