I have apologized to Barbara and begged her for forgiveness.  It actually wasn't her post that got my goat to begin with but won't go into that here.  I also apologize to the class for using this forum to vent.  Please forgive me.  But, as you know, the world loves drama and there are those who won't pay any attention to anything going on until some type of conflict arises.  So, on that note I will tell you that due to this fact, interest in the class website is at an all time high.  Thanks for helping me get the ratings up.

BTW...I searched the web for a good photo of a heal to use as my photo on this page but didn't see any that would work.

I was only upset that I had unintentionally upset you, Tommy!   And I loved "Human," Celeste!  I am certainly VERY HUMAN!!  Have a nice day all!

Sorry for not being on here very often, so I guess I'll try and catch up a little.

Diane and I just celebrated our 45th anniversary on 7/22!

And I also want to wish our own Tommy Schwartz and his wife Lee a Happy Anniversary on 7/20!

We usually go out to dinner to celebrate both, but haven't been able to coordinate a time to do so.

Happy summer to all the classmates, and if you have any desire to attend the class of '67 50th reunion,

Relapse Band will be providing the musical entertainment!

Hope everyone is well.

Oh Tommy I feel your pain. Let's all remember that this is a volunteer position. I am glad though that we have rallied together in the end. Love to all our friends and a big thank you to Tommy. All is good now. 

Allan Colby

Barbara, I'm sure if you contact Billie Sue Huck she  can take care of any of your questions.  (Hope you come!)

Anita Beaver (Sloan)

HAPPY BIRTHDAY JIMMIE ANNE. HOPE YOU HAVE A GREAT DAY! ENJOY!

Thank you Anita

I haven't spoken to her since day before Irma hit St. Thomas and have had no response to texts, but someone posted on her fb page that she (and family) are okay. Whatever that means in a ravaged landscape.

Joel Swain

There is a lot of damage on St Thomas. Dru is ok. It will take a long time for the island to recover. She thinks it might be months before she gets power.

Helen Goodson

Dru called Mary Beth and asked that we let everyone know they made it through the second round of hurricanes, and they are all ok. 

Lois Walters (Gordy)

Great to hear about Dru, although I am sure she will face some challenges during the days of recovery.  Hope all my classmates and their loved ones survived the storm and did not receive any major damage.  Linda and I headed to our place in GA prior to IRMA and coudl't believe that the darn storm followed us there!  Winds were high and electricity was out there but no damage other than yard trash from the trees, etc.  With 17 people, 8 horses and six dogs we were certainly close to being a three ring circus.  Ha!  Sure hope this hurricane season ends soon!

Lois Walters (Gordy)

Forgot to mention, that Linda and I visited with Dru the middle of August in St. Thomas and she was a gracious hostess!  Beautiful island!

Tommy Schwartz

Class,

We had somebody join the web page today using one of our classmate's unused profiles.  This persons credentials just didn't add up and at the same time was telling one of our classmates that he/she loved them so much or something to that affect.

Bottom line is, if you notice something written on your page that seems a bit weird, let me know and we will get to the bottom of it and get them blocked. 

Thanks,  Tommy

What's everybody up to?  Hey the weather is getting cooler and maybe we can even go outside again...

Tommy Schwartz

OK, I have gotten into the preferences and tightened up the rules for getting to password protected areas of our site.  From now on, If a new person joins, we will have to verifiy his identity before he/she can get to anybody elses pages.  This should fix the problem. 

Thanks

You might want to check your own private message boards.  The message I received showed it was from one of my fellow female classmates.  The subject line said “English” and the message read “My love, words are not enough to express how much I love you. My wish is for you to stay happy and healthy, best bday! sent by Joel Swiss.”    This person had just logged in as one of our classmates. I can’t thank Tommy enough for investigating it so quickly and getting it blocked!

Our dog is a person to us.  Look into his eyes and tell me he isn't.

Tommy;   Whoa now, I'm not sure you can bring Buster by here all dressed up in that Tux. Nilla just loves a Smart Dressed Man!

David Tillman

FPUA Electric Transmission Division is sending crews of Linemen to the Virgin Islands to help them restore their power grid. My son will be part of a crew in St Croix for the month of December. They do, however, get to live on a Carnival Cruise ship while they are there. Who would have even thought they would ever need to reach out that far for help. We should all say a prayer that it was not us, and while you are at it, say a prayer for all of them.

Tommy Schwartz

David,

I have been meaning to get with you about that.  Dru told me at the benefit for the Virgin Islands to give your son her phone number and to call her as she would like to have a little "get together" for them while they are there.  I will send you her phone number.  She was pretty excited that they were sending a Fort Pierce crew down there.

David Tillman

Tommy;

That is so nice of Dru to offer. I am sure they would love to have some local connection to home while there (it would go a long way in giving them a better feeling of satisfaction knowing they are helping someone who came from their own hometown) . As I said before, they will be there all month (for some it will be their first Christmas away from home). Let me know and I will get the information to Dan.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                        On a sad note:                                                                                                                                                 Karen Kane's shop, "Karen Kane Interiors", in downtown Ft Pierce caught fire last night. My cousin was downtown at Sweets today and saw the aftermath. It does not look good  (Sue went online to the Fire Dept website and showed me the pictures). Karen has worked real hard for many years to build what is a very good and respected business.      My thoughts and prayers go out to her.
