While I can't believe how many years have passed since 1968, I don't feel my age and am very thankful for my blessings. Those blessings include my husband, Dwight, the four daughters that we have between us, and the three grandchildren. I ran a pre-school and taught the four yr old class for 25 yrs, but retired three years ago. My mother has retained a home in Centralia but lives here in Jeffersonville most of the time. I enjoy spending time with her, as I haven't lived around any of my family since 1968. Dwight's mother has moved here in the past month, too, so we will be busy with both of these ladies. We have three grandchildren, ages 4-10.Aren't we the sandwich generation? Sandwiched in between the parents and the grandchildren!
Dwight is an allergist and he is spending less time in the office. We live in a patio home on the Ohio River here and love watching the barge traffic and the beauty and peace of the river. We bought a small house in a beach community in Destin, Fla and rent it out most of the time, but do go down there for long weekends. One of the joys of being older is being able to travel more. My daughter lives at Ft Hood, Texas and I visit her often. Thank goodness for airplanes!
I have wonderful memories of high school and wish that I could have attended more reunions. I do hope to make this one and look forward to trying to guess who everyone is!
I occasionally talk to Laura Shuffett Davies and visit a couple of times a year with Rosemary Austin Perez.Have corresponded a little with Head via email.
These visits are precious to me and help me realize how little our basic personalities change as the years go by. The essence of us is basically the same as it was when we were 18, The form has changed a tad!
Looking forward to summer and hope we all recognize each other!
