Yesterday, the 24th., our monthly luncheon was held at Chandler's by the Comfort Inn. There is road construction all around, but we all manages to get to the restaurant and back out to the highway!!! There were 10 gals attending, Carmen Pohlpeter, Linda Hartley Hanson, Pat Holmes Bradley, Karan Kreighbaum Faul, Linda Hayes Meyer, Sharon Duncan Strunk, Georgia O'Donnell Merschman, Carole Narigon Wilson, Sally Morton Trancoso, and myself. We had a great time visiting & eating, and discussed the reunion decorations, recipes, family & friends. We missed all the regulars, but glad that Pat was in town and came to spend time w/us. Next month's luncheon will be at The Wire Whisk, 807 Ave. G, July 22nd. at noon, all classmates are invited to join us.

OK, it's time for the monthly luncheon tomorrow.....hope we have a good turn out. It's so hot here, so thankful for AC. Later.......stay cool, Linda

Linda Kirchner (Schrader)

The luncheon last Fri. was good.....at least the desserts!!! They were awesome, we all ordered 1 of everything and passed them around. I think we could have been satisfied w/just doing that. A great time was had by all...........Linda

Linda Kirchner (Schrader)

It was a little disturbing when I read my obituary in the paper Wed....to say the least!!! At one time, there were 4 Linda Schraders in the area. I had to start using my midle initial. Had a friend from the Class of '60 send an email to my family to see if it was me he read about!!! I'm stillo here..........Linda

We had an awesome turnout for the parade. It was so much fun, we wanted to do it a second time!!!

The "Meet & Greet" at the Comfort Inn was great, good food, great drinks, and a great get-together. Thanks to the committee for the enjoyment. Can't say enough how wonderful everyone looks. And the interviews were FUN!!!

Toured the "old HS" this a/m and some of us got to see "THE TUNNEL" It was awesome. I had heard of it from my brother, and finally got to see it. Unbelieveable!!!

Linda Kirchner (Schrader)

Met this aft., tore down tables, chairs, decorations, swept & mopped, took down pictures, washed windows, and loaded up things. But after all was completed, we all went outside and released all the red & black balloons!!! What a great ending to a great 50th. reunion. Thanks to Sharon & a great committee for all your time and talents and for the memories.

Sharon Tincher (Scholl-Nabulsi)

I second all that Linda Kirchner Schrader just wrote on the forum. This reunion was a "BLAST'' to say the least. Sorry some of you missed it but for those of us that attended it was "FABULOUS". Pictures will follow soon.What a great looking class we 'Were' and "Are". Thanks to all who came and thanks to the best committee ever!

Martha Waters (Krueger)

Ditto on what Linda & Sharon wrote.  It was so much FUN!  While driving home to the Ozarks yesterday, I got to thinking about how the 3 days together allowed for more conversations with more people (probably the most I have gotten to visit with the most.) 

You, planning committeee, did a WONDERFUL job.  The food was excellent.  (I wanna eat there next time I am in town.)  I love the drawing I won in the raffle of the main drag of downtown in 1957. 

THANK YOU, everyone, for such a good time.

Linda Kirchner (Schrader)

Yeah...Martha...hope you keep writing on here, it's good to hear from new people. Everything did turn out wonderful. The committee was great....lots of time spent & lots of talent there. It was all fun/work and glad yoiu had a good time. Keep in touch......Linda

Sharon, thanks for the pictures, enjoyed seeing them. Sorry though, it was hard to remember some of the faces. Wish I could have been there. Thanks again for sending them out so we that could not attend could enjoy.

Marcia Conley (Davis)

Thanks to the FMHS Reunion Committee.  You created an event that all who attended will have wonderful memories for a long time.  It was a real kick!  I am sorry for those who did not choose to attend.  You missed so much.  Time has a way of healing old wounds, so I hope to see everyone at the 55th!   I know I plan to attend in 2016!

Keeping the message forum active and stay in touch.

Linda Kirchner (Schrader)

Thanks Sharon & Nancy for the photos, they are great. Hope to see more..........

Linda Hayes (Meyer)

It was so fun to be there with all of our friends.  I think we all had a great time.  I just got through looking at the pics.  It is so nice to have those to remind of a such a good time.

Terry Schmidt (Bedord)

Sharon, my phone number is wrong in the class info booklet.  It is correct on my profile however.  My phone number is 816/824-7955.  And thank you for your quick response.  Terry
