MEMORIAL OF THE DECEASED CLASSMATES
This labor of love came out beautifully and very touchingMike Lawson poured out his heart and soul into making it a wonderful presentation.  He gave all  the credit to of the classmates that took time to send in information on our deceased ones.  He ran into some snags with trying to send it over the internet because it is a 45 minute presentation with music.  He did have a company make a CD for himself and me.  We are planning on having it set up on a tv monitor (hopefully) in a corner during the 40th reunion the summer of '08.  But, unless someone would like to sponsor the cost of making CD's for all on my e-mail address list (presently 185!!!), or unless someone knows of a better way to get it sent to classmates, then '08 is the soonest you can view it.  Contact Mike Lawson (miklaws@charter.net ) with ideas!!!  He is pretty sharp about these things....obviously I am NOT.  "-)

TJ CLASS OF '68 WEBSITE
Marilyn Harriman Cribbs (mcspin12@aol.com ) has offered to put together a website.  I haven't heard from her lately and don't know if she has begun or not.  Beverly Copeland Gaspard (b_gaspard@yahoo.com), who teaches computer classes at Lamar State College-PA, has offered to help her.  If you are interested, please contact them.
 
HELPFUL HUBBY
Glynn Myers, husband of Loretta LaLonde, has been a TREMENDOUS asset to finding out info on classmates that have been "long lost" from our active address file.  He is the closest we have to a  Magnum, PI on our team of "researchers".  Please give him a shout and a thank you for the hours he has spent. Gynn's address is gm-retired@houston.rr.com . Poor Loretta.  He has to have been ignoring her during his "snooping" time.  Thanks for sharing him, Loretta.  If you have any info on any of the classmates that have changed their e-mail or physical addresses, then don't hesitate to send them to me.  I can't let Glynn outdo me!!!    Contact me at lindasuemcfadden@sbcglobal.net  with ANY CHANGES OR ADDITIONS (including your own).

Well, I THINK that is all for this time.  I will think of something else while I toss and turn tonight.  Please e-mail me with any news, concerns, or info that you think the classmates would like to hear about.  Over and out.
