Just want all of you to know how wonderful it was to see and visit with all of you. First of all, we did actually have a committee who put this together and we discussed many different times to have it. There is no 'ideal' time that all of us can get together as there are always conflicts, that is inevitable. We made the best choice we could. Many thanks to all of you who helped with that and there were many. Harry Paul Logan came up with the catchy name for the celebration of Jive@65 that brings back memories that only we old folks remember from Channel 4 afternoon dancing days. Of course, I appreciate Linda & Richard for graciously opening their beautiful, comfortable home to us and kudos to Warren & Danny for the delicious meats and everyone for bringing delectable appetizers. Warren and Danny also arranged such a lovely evening for us at the Pompano Club. It had been a long time since I had been there and we went back in time with the music. How delightful!!! If you weren't there, you really missed a great, relaxing time. We shut down the place! Most of all, I want to thank all of you who came so far to be with all of us in this our 65th year of life. Life is good and was wonderful to celebrate it with old, golden friends!!!! Those that traveled long distances put forth more effort to be together than any of us did. It just wouldn't have been the wonderful event that it was without your efforts. ****The winner for traveling the longest distance is Bobby Jackson (better known now as Bob, except by us) who traveled 1,599.6 miles from Reno, Nevada.**** ***Next was Gracey Potter Weisbrod who traveled 877.6 miles from Dayton, Ohio (but we might have to thrown in another 100 miles as she came via Houston,Ohio is east of all of us).*** **Next, Jackie Hensley (better known now as Jack, except by us) who traveled 446.3 miles from Sand Springs, Oklahoma.** *Don Landry came from Georgetown at 223.8 miles* and Donna Berg McClelland came from Berwick, LA which the mileage calculator on my computer doesn't recognize. The majority of y'all came from Houston and the smallest number from this area and there are plenty of us still here! How sad!!! Many thanks for coming. It wouldn't have been such a joyful celebration without you. As you know, those who weren't here missed a great time. FYI - If you left Linda & Richard's early, you missed the wagering that took place for the Preakness. Was fun!!! Thanks to Carolyn for offering us her lovely home at Crystal Beach for a celebration of being 66 next year. She and Danny have a great venue to party so I think it is unanimous that we will 'do it again' at 66. We will decide on a date soon and if you have a suggestion, please let us know and we will try to figure out the best date for most people. I do hope we will make this an annual event as it was such fun. Stayed tuned, friends, there are more good times for the Class of '62!!! Tell everyone to check out our website and our postings on Facebook. Wayne & Don are doing a great job of keeping us informed on these two websites. Thanks, guys! ALSO, please let me know if you or anyone changes their e-mail address, physical address or has any other changes that we should be informed of. Lucille Miller Armintor |
