who was 89 yrs old, was able to attend our 50th Class Reunion. She passed on in 2008.
As I reported in 2007, all of the graduating class of 1957 were still alive. We all still re-
main alive and are all 70 yrs or above.
Sept. 2009, I turned 70 yrs. I was the youngest member of our graduating class. One
of the guys e-mailed me after my birthday last year and told me that since I had turned
70 yrs, that all of our class had successfully entered into the 7th decade of our lives.
Last Thursday evening most of we classmates met in a private room of a nice resturant
in a neighboring city. We came close to losing a couple of our classmates the last two
yrs. So there was a strong desire to be together again while we were all still alive. There
was such a sweet closeness and appreciation for one another. Out of the 32 classmates
that graduated together in 1957, there were six or seven that were not there Thursday.
One was out of the country, a couple were ill, etc.

Great story! It's amazing that not one classmate passed away after all these years from illness, heart attack, accident, etc.
We are having a JCM (UPC bible school) reunion in a few weeks, and even though we had a small graduating class (less than 25), we have lost a few friends over the years.
