Hello friends,
I wanted to write when I
didn't have such sad news!!! I have several items that I thought
you might be interested in. First, I have compiled a list of approx. 160
of our classmates with valid e-mail addresses. They often change, but
fortunately we have also been adding new ones. You can help by
sending any e-mail addresses of classmates that you correspond with and that
might not be on the list. I will send the updated list to anyone who sends
me a request.
I have heard from several of you and some
that gave me a little news.
Billy Jordan from Decatur, AL writes
that he and his siblings gave his mom a surprise 90th b-d party!! They had
such a good time that they are planning a 95th. Good thing she didn't have
a heart attack from the surprise, Billy!!!!
Lynn Eldridge from Dallas, TX is also
planning to give her dad a 90th b-d party in March.
Harold Erixon from Crestwood, KY writes that
he retired from working at Delta, but is constantly on the go with his TWO 9th
graders. Keep it up, Harold. They'll keep you YOUNG.
Several alumni are meeting at Jim Andrus' hometown
of Jourdanton, TX (south of San Antonio). for a weekend in April.
Plans are for turkey & hog hunting, stock pond fishing, shrimp fry, bonfire,
and a heated game of CRANIUM (the WIVES ALWAYS win)!!!! The classmates are
Lynn Eldridge, Paul Colletti, Jude Arisco, David Williams, Jim Andrus, Steve
Robison, Kenny Bragg, Jody & Gary Barbin, Terry Watson, Allen Baldridge,
Carolyn McCollum and myself. We have met about three times a year at
different hometowns for the last 3 or so years. I told them that MY weekend
was the CLASS REUNIONS!!! Of course, not everyone can come each time.
LAUGHTER AND MEMORIES fill the weekend. If you meet with alumni for
get-togethers, let me know and I will write about it.
A WEBSITE FOR OUR CLASS?????
Fred Schneider, the late Randy Schneider's brother,
has contacted me via e-mail to offer help on setting up an OFFICIAL SITE
for our '68 class. He has established and maintained the website for the
class of '66. The following is his e-mail message:
Hi Linda,
I am Fred, Randy
Schneider's brother. You are copied on my '66 web site transmissions.I was
wondering why '68 doesn't have one? If nobody wants to do it, maybe I could
offer my services. I like to do the sites, and mine has been moderately well
accepted by my classmates. I wouldn't do it for money, just for my own
satisfaction, and '68 too. There would probably be some initial expence,
depending on what your gang wanted. But if you like what I have for'66 , it
would be very cheap just to get more space.
I don't want to
butt in on anybodys thing, but if no one wants to do it, and I can get a real
positive feed back, I'd do it and like it. Please let me know what you think.
Fred Schneider
Be sure to check out his website to get the jest of it.
Fred is doing a wonderful job and I am asking for volunteers to work with him
to set ours up!!!! Many have asked for it. I will send in any input that I
receive and any info that I have already collected. PLEASE CONSIDER THIS
REQUEST!!! Fred is being very gracious to offer!

You knew that we couldn't just have a "happy" update.
Gloria Faye Burks of the Bryan/College Station area has
requested prayers for her family. Her cousin was the young lady that was
recently kidnapped in Tyler and found dead in Staunton, TX. Her kidnapper
was arrested in Arkansas.
Also, remember :
Linda Dowling....loss of her father
Randy Hutchins...loss of his brother
Janice Jones....loss of her sister
Patricia Patrick...loss of her husband
Please e-mail me with news of other classmates.
Maybe one of them might also be battling with an illness or a death in the
family and we could send messages to them to boost their spirits.
Also, remember to send any other news that you would like to share.
Take care and keep in touch.
Linda DeCuir McFadden
