Comments:

I married my high school sweetheart who graduated from Glacier a year ahead of me. We would have celebrated our 54th Wedding Anniversary in January of this year.

He had open heart surgery on June 5, a quadruple bypass. He had several complications after the surgery and lost over 60 pounds. In November he was finally starting to feel better and stronger, but on January 2nd he had a heart event that required CPR. He was put in intensive care on a ventilator with severe pulmonary hypertension and pneumonia, and passed away on January 6

He was my high school sweetheart, my soulmate. We would have been married 54 years on January 23.

School Story:

It was November 22, 1963. I was sitting in Mr Emery's Shorthand Class when we got the news that President John F. Kennedy was assassinated. Everyone was in disbelief...so shocked and sad. Mr Emery too...he was standing at the head of the class with tears in his eyes. I'll never forget that image of him on that day.

Dear Barbara, I hope you have a merry Christmas and a blessed new year even though we are without our dear husbands and will miss them forever. I’d love to meet you for lunch (and tears).

Glad to hear you didn't have to have surgery now...I had a cortisone shot last week for a lower back problem.. I've just had a couple of PT sessions so far. The radiologist said that it might take a couple injections to find the "right" spot to get some relief (you can have up to 3 in a year in any one spot). Keep the faith, those PT folks did wonders when I had my knees replaced! Wishing you well....Barb

Hi Joanne - What a coincidence we both married '63 Glacier grads! Bill was one of the band geeks. Mr Emery was the BEST! He was a big part of my being able to get my job at Boeing. I started in the steno pool and worked my way up. I spent my last 18 years at Boeing working on a military defense contract and worked for five different Boeing Vice Presidents over that time. I loved my job, but the stress finally got to me. So glad I retired when I did. I wish you were attending the reunion! It was so good to hear from you! Hugs, Barb
