Class of '68 - Class at 58
Tom was asked to do the opening prayer and benediction at the 91st annual Britton-Macon Alumni Banquet last night. So we went--for only the 2nd time since Tom graduated 40 years ago. You see, Tom was the president of one of the featured classes but, unfortunately, the only one there from the class of '68. What was amazing to me was that there were 135 people--most of whom were 65 and older. The class of '48 (another featured class) had 100% of those available in attendance. There was one lady in attendance who graduated 75 years ago. The Class of '58 had the biggest attendance as it was their 50th. Another amazing fact that we learned is that Britton-Macon is a "School of Choice" and 1/3 of their enrollment is from other places. It was an interesting evening, and as usual, Tom amazed me by his remembrance of people's names, relationships, where they lived, etc.
AND, speaking of CLASS and 58--Joyce is 58 today! Happy Birthday, old friend! You've got more class than anyone I know!

Thank you. I have five classes and one principal. It only took me five minutes of staring and pondering to remember that that picture was taken on Nantucket Island and then I had to go check the map to make sure it wasn't the other island that we could have visited of which I couldn't remember the name of (Martha's Vineyard) It would be nice to have some of Tom's memory neurons, I might have more time to devout to my classes.
I have only attended the Alumni banquet once. It was nice of Tom to do that. Mom would have been proud of him.
Happy Birthday Joyce!!
