in All is well here in from Charles Cramer
in Thanks for the note.We are doing fine.We had 80 mph winds and tons of rain.Fortunately, we moved to a new home in a 3 year old subdivision, so we had no big trees to blow down.Thank goodness we weren't in our old house with its 80 foot trees in the backyard.I would have been up all night with my chainsaw in hand.We were blessed.Some of my friends weren't so lucky.I was at one's house Tuesday setting up my generator for him.He had a tree go down and it took out a power line.He and 1,200 of his neighbors won't have power for at least a week. from Gail Wilson Felker

NEWS FROM THE HOMEFRONT I haven't written anything for this column lately.I figure you get sick of hearing the same story....just another chapter!!!My sister has been really suffering with depression for the last couple of months but, as of this last weekend, seems to have turned the corner!!!I brought her to Shangri La in SUPPORT (an update on Molly Bigler Gerald from Carolyn Bigler Hebert) My sister, Molly Bigler Gerald, is now home but she is not out of the woods yet.Her left leg is still very constricted.Physical therapy has stopped due to insurance calling the shots but in November, Medicare will kick in.She had her hair styled into a shag like in the 1960's which is how it was when from With the death of my dad in August, things just haven't been good lately.I am dealing with work and trying to deal with a grief stricken parent when I get off of work in (update on Arlette Sonnier Guidry's husband, Tony) Thanks to all of you for your response to my post on FB about Tony.The cards you are sending touch his heart so much, please don't stop.His comment this weekend on the new cards sent was, “I though they would have forgotten about me by now, guess not.God has truly blessed me that people care so much.”Tears ran down his face at your precious comments in these cards.I thanked God that I could witness this sweet spirit that shines on my husband's face and all of that for each person taking the time to send a simple card to let him know how much he means to you and that you are continuing to pray for him daily.God bless all of you.His visiting hours are 5-8 during the week and 8-8 on weekends.He might not remember that you visited him tomorrow YET....it is a memory you will never forget knowing that you and he have been touched by God. from Harold Erixon
in Our son is heading to (a note from Mary Wells about Skippy Cole ) I heard from Skippy's brother, Charles, that Skippy has the West Nile Virus .Please send him your well wishes. Enoch “Skip” Cole CONDOLENCES Doing research on our spreadsheet trying to confirm classmate addresses, we learned of the passing of one of our own.... KENNETH ODNEAL .Since Mike and I didn't know at the time it happened, we were unable to report it on our website update.So, I am asking you again.....PLEASE contact me when there is a death of a classmate, a classmate's spouse or their parent or their child or sibling.We don't report on in-laws because I wouldn't have time to try to keep up with those.I wish I did.I would rather have 10 people contact me about a death than NO ONE.As of this time, 88 known classmates have passed away, 18 more than at our last reunion in Aug. 2008!!!!.Please take the time to look at the MEMORIAL section and pray for their families they left behind. KENNETH KEITH ODNEAL November 1, 1949 – August 29, 2011 Please take the time to drop me a line.I am scraping the bottom of the barrel.If you like reading my NEWSLETTERS about our classmates, don't ASSUME someone else will write to me.Begging is not beneath me, but I don't really like it!“-( Stay in touch and contact a classmate, Linda DeCuir McFadden |
