Marilyn Kelly (Palmer)

Just a note to ask everyone to remember Susan Hughes McCarty in your prayers today. She is in the process of moving her mother to a nursing home. Under the best of circumstances, that is a hard task. There always seems to be a combination of guilt mixed with relief because you know they will be taken care of just not totally by you any longer. I know several of you have been thru this so any words of support would be appreciated.

Susan:
You already know my Mom is in a nursing home and she said she would NEVER go into a nursing home. Its one of those things in life that you have to deal with. I had to realize that I had to become the parent now and do what I had to do to make life more bareable for her as for myself. Realize that we're not spring chicken ourselves anymore and we do have a life of our own and I'm sure your Mom as with mine realizes this and knows that we're there for them. My prayers go out to you as I know its hard at first as it was for me. I visit my mom twice a week and each time I carry her some cornbread which she dearly loves and a strawberry milkshake. Her having a cell phone helps alot as I get to communicate with her daily.

Your Friend
Chad

RE Kenny McNeill

I've no clue regarding who Kenny's relatives are. I just decided to take an hour and try to track him down based on information available at switchboard.com: I collected every Ken or Kenneth McNeill listed without a middle initial or with the middle initial E and dialed phone numbers. There were not that many: less than 20 as I recall. I spoke to 5-6 people, left a couple of voice mails, encountered several recordings telling me the number was "disconnected or no longer in service" and, oddly in this day and time, had 3-4 no-answer or perpetual busy signals. One fellow called me back to say, "You're looking for Kenneth ELWOOD McNeill?"

I said, "That's right."

He said, "Well, I'm not him."

I said, "Thanks for calling me back."

He said, "The Internet is an amazing tool for finding people, isn't it?"

Debbie---thank you for the pictures, especially the one with David Brown. What a sweet boy he was. We lost him way to early and I know Jerry misses him.

Jerry---Hope you are fully recovering from the heart problem. Glad to hear that there was no significant damage. Maybe it was what they say is a "wake up call". I have had several of those along the way. Sure wish you and Brenda could make it to the reunion. Anyway, thinking about you today and brother David too.

Is anyone planning to get together on the river, casino, or anywhere else on Friday or Sat. during the day? Just wondering if I should entertain my mom or plan to be entertained by others. :)

Sharon Lynn Findley (Harper)

Maybe those attending should have posted a cell phone roster so we could find one another. Is it too late?

For those interested - Marvin has a VCR tape of the 20th reunion and is going to get a DVD made so he can show it during the 40th. If you're interested in getting a copy of the 20th reunion, contact Marvin.

I shall redouble my efforts to find Kenneth Elwood McNeill tomorrow.

Ken Ibsen

Meriwether - I know there will be people playing golf on Saturday morning and I hope some classmates will go see Benji Nelken's museum down on Washington Avenue. As for going on the lake or to the casinos, I haven't heard any talk but you never know. I'm sure plans will become more finalized on Friday night - stay tuned!

LInda and I will have our 15 yr. old with us, so we won't be at the Casinos. But I want to show them around Greenville, and will definitely do the museum. The last time we were in a casino in Vegas in our mid 30's Linda got carded, so we may not be old enough to go there anyway. We will also check out Doe's for lunch maybe.

Meriwether Montgomery

I don't think Doe's does lunch but I may be wrong. Anyway, Ken, thanks for the museum info. If it's about the Delta region, I must go! Do you remember Dan(ny) Wood? He was in my brother Cameron's class and out on the lake with him all the time. He will be in town that weekend and wants to hit the water, so I may have to tag along. As for skiiing, I wil have to see what I can muster up. I should manage ok as long as I skip the beer which I did not do as a teenager! :)
How did we survive?

I think the cell phone roster is a wonderful idea! Is that possible at this last moment? Of course, if anyone reading this posts theirs, we could write down from there. Ideas?

Just returned from one very long slow drive from Jackson through the back roads with my crop/water looking husband. I took my Federal Project project to the Mississippi State Department of Education and invited Leroy to tag along. We turned off at the Bentonia Satartia exit toward Delta City to check out the new oil wells on the William's land in Mechanicsville(that is how it is pronounced but not sure about the spelling). They are all three producing and they are in the process of putting down pipelines to all three. Our precious friend Wiley Williams (93) is now the proud owner. Did not take pictures but the water is lapping the road in several places there. Water is on beautiful corn and cotton and beans. Many crops ar under water. Stopped at two country stores to get a cold drink along the way. Yes, some of us do still ride the Delta backroads and enjoy a cold beer. It's a Delta thing.
I am looking forward to seeing everyone on Friday night.

Carol,
I think I may take my family there for lunch. Bob said it is really pretty good. It will be nice to check out some of the old familiar places.

Thanks,
Mike

Mary Pryor Anthony (Sherman)

Donnie,
Joe and I have reciprocal between Jackson Country Club and Greenville Country Club so some people may want to check to see if they have one with their clubs. Is there any way to work out a deal with the club for lunch on Sat. for those that can't do that? MPA

George Sherman

Thanks for that information Mary Pryor.I plan on charging my drinks to you and Joe and encourage others to do the same.
