Subject: Jesse' illness

Thanks, again, Roberta, for your work on behalf of the class.
My husband Jesse goes into University of Penn Hospital in Philadelphia May 8th to be operated on the next day.  He was approved for an Edwards device, a man-made Aortic heart valve, which means that he will be a part of the Edwards study for five years.  There are many risks with this, but we trust he will come out on top.  Though he looks frail, he has done amazingl well with each procedure before; therefore, we are praying he will do well this time, too.  Jesse is 83.
Cordially,
Martha

Annual report 2012

At the beginning of the 2012 year, I sent 55 emails asking for contributions for our Memorial and Reunion funds. I also wrote letters to class members who did not have an email address. On our website dated August 3, 2011, we had $195.00 in our Memorial fund and $216.75 in our Reunion Fund.  Here is the update as of today May 6, 2012. Thanks to generous class members, we now have $226.75 in our Reunion Fund and a whopping $1366.00 in our Memorial fund for an all together total of $1592.75.

Contributions have been recieved from the following members:  Ronnie Adams, Bill Bowen, Jimmy Brittingham, Sandy Crowell, Hoda Levine, Roberta Walker, Dabney Craddock, Diana Holland, Shirley Morse, Larry Hardin, Rodney Hendley, Nelta Crump, Sandra Clark, John Howe, Martha Jacobs, William Land, James David Maples, Gwen Raby, Mickey Hancock, Jimmy Rachels, Homer Smith, Lynn Steen, Jewel Gardner, Bill Stubbs, Janice Parks, and Shirley Lassiter, Phyllis Smith, Carroll Garner, Jerry Hodges, Charles McKeithan, Donald Caulder, and Nanette Atkinson.

Our class members listed above contributed a total of $1380.00!!!!!!!!!  Just think what we would have if all class members responded!!!!!!!! I know for a fact that some have forgotten and when they do respond, I will post their names.  Also, some members gave "beyond the call of duty" for our 50th Reunion, and they probably think they have given their share which is true. Thank you, thank you, thank you class. You are the greatest!!!!!!!! You can certainly be proud of yourselves!!

Expenses since Aug 3, 2011 are as follows:  Memorials of $50 each for John Poole, Allyn Cortright, Coleman Shelton.  Engravings on Memorial plaque of $14.00 and stamps of $45.00. (Coleman's went to the National Kidney Foundation and Allyn's to his church.)

We have 55 members with email addresses including Shirley Lassiter, 28 non-email members, 3 class members with no addresses. A total of 86 class members living including Shirley.

Please print this for your record. Diana please post on our website. Thanks Di for all you do to keep website up to date. I know it takes time and your contribution is greatly appreciated by all. I do send acknowledgements for monies received. If you have sent money and do not get an acknowledgement, then I did not receive it. Also, I keep adding to our scrap books so if anyone wants to send anything about his or her family or the class, please do. If anyone has any questions, please email me or call me.

Joe Hogan Announces New Book

Subject: Joe Hogan Announces New Book

I am please to announce that my newest book, non-fiction, Choices, Chances, and Change is now available online at Barnes and Nobles, Amazon, and other major sites. This book should be most interesting to those of us who were reared in Hamlet as it deals with growing up in Hamlet from my point of view. The journey details my wayward youth and very specifically reveals the bright side of Hamlet as well as the dark side. It will be a very nostalgic and entertaining read and hopefully will provide hope for those who feel hopeless and inspiration for those who are uninspired. It can be reviewed on the book store web sites prior to purchase. Some will agree with my observations and some will not.

I have engaged in discussion with Rick Bacon, Richmond County Journal Editor, and they will be writing a nice article prior to my initial books signing event to be held in Hamlet at a later date. Due to my wife's terminal cancer I will be unable to formally promote the book until we receive a miracle.

Hopefully, some of you will enjoy an early look at this controversial book and find it very enjoyable. I welcome your feedback when you finish the book.

Bert wanted me to send the class this email. "God has really blessed me health wise and what he has done for me, he will do for you." He appreciated all the cards, phone calls, and prayers that were said for him.

Need email help

Can somebody call James David Maples and ask him to empty his email or help him do it?    My em to him bounced, saying he is over his quota.  He needs to clear out his email account before he can receive anything more.   He is with sc.rr.com.
Thanks.

70th Birthday Reunion

70th. Birthday Reunion at the Beach

I think a 70th. Birthday Reunion at a North or South Carolina beach would be a great idea.  I think October 2012 would be a good target date as the rates would be lower, crowds smaller, and weather cooler than July. I've heard that October is a perfect time at the coast.   Almost all of us will be turning 70 in 2012 and with this mini-reunion the work and expense of a directory wouldn't be required. Everything could be more casual.  It should be promoted more as a Birthday Party rather than a Reunion.

What do the rest of you think?
