I don't get on this computer very often, as some of you may know. Just never got interested, so am not very proficient with it. Inez and I lead a very quite life here in central Arkansas,,,,Beebe to be exact,,,,30 miles northeast of Little Rock. Our three children and four grandsons,,, 8 to 18 ,,all live within 11 miles of us. We are retired and spend our time with the kids, grands, nature, yard, and my part-time job of the past year. Inez survived breast cancer in 1997, and was in remission for 17 years. The cancer came back in her lung last July, shortly after our 50th Anniversary. Recent scans show cancer is in total remission. She is very weak,,,,on oxygen and a walker,,,but is getting stronger. Outlook is good to regain a quality life. God has been very good to us over the years,,and Inez's recovery is the latest, greatest, blessing of all. Some personal comments,,,,,yes Lanier and Eugene,,we are still non-smokers,,,,and since we stopped smoking almost 6 years ago Inez and I have lost total of about 50 pounds. She is looking great,,I am still short and fat,,but I feel great and she is on the way back!! To Billy E. our younger days bring back good memories,,I often think about you and me and Quinby and Jimmy Love. So sad about Jimmy and don't know where Quinby is. to Billy K,,,,hope you found Beebe. I have been hiding here in plain sight for over 25 years now. Beebe claim to fame,,was once home of one of biggest used car auctions in the midsouth. We wanted to come to 55 year reunion last month in Leland,,but Inez just not strong enough. I miss seeing all of y'all, but do think of you often. We can't live in our past,,but it is great to reflect on many very fond memories. My parting comment,,,,,,I feel very honored to have been a part of our graduating class. You people,,collectively and individually,,were truly 'over the top' in terms of class, dignity, grace, humility, and achievement. You did it in so many ways,,,education, medicine, law, business, art, music. men of the cloth,,,,the list goes on!!! And you did it quietly, honestly, and with a proper sense of pride. So proud of all of you, and those who are gone, and to have been a small part of your life. we are alive and well in Beebe AR. If you are in the neighborhood, stop on by! We are in the book. Love you all. Joe & Inez Mosley
