Comments:

I'm still trying to retire but 'fate' keeps me working/playing. I now have a 20 hour, only mornings 'job' teaching exercise at a great retirement center called King's Grant right down the hill from where we live. I get to teach tai chi, water exercise at a nice indoor warm pool, men and women's toning, aerobics and a chair exercise class to the really elderly. What fun!! I'm young again...say what? Now just Tai Chi but going to the warm pool above!! :)

Neal was so very nice.  We went to some dances together with friends and always had a good time.

Ruth was so sweet.  She was always ready to talk with me.  At first she was shy but after a while we had some great laughs.  What a sweet soul.  :)

Bonnie was very shy when I met her in my homeroom class in 10th grade.  We had that Latin teacher as our homeroom teacher!  Very strict!  She blamed Bonnie for a 'noise' that obviously to everyone, Bonnie did not make.  But this time Bonnie stood up and loudly said it wasn't her!!  Everyone in the class cheered and applauded her.  ;)   Bonnie was sooo embarassed...but then proud.   She and I were good friends in that class.

Larry and I used to go to the square dances together.  He would find me at the Youth Center and ask if I wanted to go to the real dance place.  :)   We were good friends.

Fats Galbreath was an actor!   He and I were in a play together and he was supposed to jump out of a closet and scare me.   First he wasn't scary....he was just the kindest guy in the world.  Second I nevered said 'Eeeek" in my life....so it was a big challenge for us.  He got a little bit scary (not really)  and I learned how to eek ( not really) but it was a comedy so it turned out okay.   We had lots of fun too.

Susan Lobb Handy has left an In Memory comment for Alfred Pocock.

Alfred was on lots of committees and I think on the yearbook or newspaper.  We always had lots of laughing and fun working together.  Also I remember that hea and his wife made great funnelcakes at the fairs.

Every 2 years I need to re-certify my aquatic exercise certs. This year the conference was in Orlando FL. Yep, I passed and went to the 60's party to celebrate! :)
