It has been brought up to me a few times in the past few months that we should not wait until our next reunion in 2013 (our 45 th ) to have a get-together.“They” mentioned having a “60 th birthday year celebration”.And to that I say, “Go for it!”Someone take the reins and I'll put the information out on the website and we'll see what transpires.Any ideas, suggestions, comments, etc. will be published. E-MAIL CHANGE PLEASE take the time to change my contact address.My new e-mail address is the following: lindadmcfadden@yahoo.com I also need you to send me any changes that you have in the future with your e-mail servers. PHONE CALL I received a phone call
recently from Mike
, (your esteemed webmaster).We ended up talking for an hour and a half NEWS FROM THE HOMEFRONT It has been a rough two or three weeks.My mom has been having anxiety attacks and not sleeping well.I took her to the doctor and he prescribed Xanax to help her.The first day went okay.By the middle of the second day, not so good.She started having heart palputations and couldn't rest at all.She got up and fell.My sister and I had to come into town and get her off of the floor.She was like a noodle.She tried to get up again during the night and fell in the bathroom, pulling a groin muscle, and hitting her head.The trauma of the fall also caused her to start urinating blood, (she is already anemic)!So, after a week of ultrasounds, systoscopes, dr. visits, using a walker, she finally is feeling a little stronger.I “assigned” my sister to her for Friday and Saturday so I could stay at home.Not a good day on Saturday!She was very nervous and my sister, being bi-polar, had a hard time with that.Being elderly stinks!!!! MYRA'S VISITATION AND FUNERAL SERVICE Myra (McConathy) and husband Jimmy Schexnayder have been faithful reunion committee members since the beginning of our gatherings.They were always helpful and fun to work with.Always a smile and joking.Myra will be missed.I was able to attend the visitation and service and arrived about 45 minutes after the visitation started.Therefore, I might have missed some of the classmates that came earlier to pay their respects to Jimmy and the rest of the family.The classmates I did see was Jack Etheredge, Tillman Richey, Darrell Richerson, Charlie Fontenot, Paula Daigle, Sandra Garsea, Ernie Castaneda, Debbie Borres, Diane Barker, Dale Netherland, Cecilia Trevino, Janis Hamilton, Darlene Turner, and Barbara “Boo” Griffin .I apologize if I left anyone off the list.Go to the “guest book” link listedbelow and see how many of our classmates took the time to express their sympathies to Jimmy and their two grown children, Jessica and Dax. (Obituaries of those mentioned in the CONDOLENCE section are now found on the front page of the website under the name OBITUARIES.Click on VIEW to read them.Classmate obituaries can still be found in the MEMORIAL section of our website.)
