Class of 1961 luncheon today, August 7, 2024

Sharon Tincher (Scholl-Nabulsi)

It's late and I'm tired so I posted our luncheon today without names because most of you know who they are! One exception sitting next to John Kent is his friend Mary who is from Donnellson! 

Darla Qualls (Dennison)

Talk about a small world!  Last Sunday I saw Bob and Karen Brannon sitting 3 rows in front of me in church.I think I've convinced them to come to the reunion. I told him if he didn't I would harass them every Sunday tell they agree. Anyway this Sunday they said they're coming. Guess he didn't want me bugging him. 😂😂
> so we have 2 FMHS Class of '61 people both living in Texas, one in Colleyville and one in Denton ,  going to the same Methodist church in Southlake, Texas. We were both quite surprised , in a good way. 
Hope to see all of you at the reunion. 

Sandra Buckley (Matthews)

Darla, That's wonderful and shows you what a small world we live in !  By the way, you do have that certain "power of persuasion" !!!

See you soon - we are flying into Cedar Rapids Friday morning and driving down to FM.....flying back Monday.  We're spending Sunday with Bill's sister, Jean.  She broke a hip over the weekend and having surgery as I write this.  Also had stents put in her heart in late May after a massive heart attack - not doing well at all. 
 

Sharon Tincher (Scholl-Nabulsi)

Sandy: So sorry to hear of Jean's broken hip and I'm so sorry she is having such a hard time since she moved into the Birkwood. Moudy and I went to see her shortly after she moved in and she looked wonderful and very happy. I will try to go out and see her too. Safe travels to FM.

We are sorry more of you did not attend because we had a wonderful time and the weather was perfect. Some classmates are talking about having a 65th reunion in 2026 but we will see when the time gets here. Stay safe and healthy as you possibly can at our age. It was my pleasure to host this group for our 63rd reunion. 

As always,

Bill and I were scheduled to also attend the reunion - but Hurricane Helene had other plans. We were at the Airport in Raleigh at 4 AM Friday for a 6 AM flight to Charlotte connecting to the flight to Cedar Rapids and a rental car on down to FM. The Charlotte airport had closed just hours before because of power loss and driving rains and wind.  It was just too "iffy" to try a flight later, depending WHEN the airport MIGHT open that night. We are so sad to have missed seeing everyone- I'm sure it was a great event at Sharon's home that morning and the dinner at the new Restaurant at the Marina.  Pray for the people of Western NC - there are still hundreds not accounted for in the massive flooding around Asheville.

I wasn't able to attend 63rd reunion party, but this is me, wife (Jeannie) and dog (Biscuit) surrounded by my life's gatherings.

So sorry to see Don go.  He was a great kid that I remember from Richardson.

Yes me too. I enjoyed Richardson elementary.  Some wonderful classmates there. All who are gone from class of 61 will be missed. We were blessed, great class
