Wm "Billy Dick" Richmond Holly
Folks, this is just really not fair to all of you. We are having a ball locating, contacting and visiting with each of our classmates. We have made contact within this past week with Jimmy Wayne Gallien in Waco, TX, Elwanda Miller McCabe in Cottonwood Falls, KS, Raymond Carpenter and his wife, Rita Rond (NHS Class of '62)in Natchitoches. Raymond is putting me in contact with Audrey Rond Oxley in Sulphur/Coldwater/Toledo Bend, Billy Carpenter in Evelyn, LA and Shirley Carpenter Brown in Longview, TX in a couple of days. Throw me in that briar patch, if you know where any of our missing classmates are, let me know so I can visit with them.
Raymond and Rita just celebrated their 50th wedding anniversary last month. Audrey Rond and her husband, Dan Oxley, celebrated their 50th last year, I'm not sure of the month, and of course, Gail Straughan and Ray Barbo have already celebrated their 50th and I believe off the top of my head are heading for their 52nd. Can't think of anyone else right now with 50 but a number of us are approaching it within the next couple of years.
Polly says it doesn't hurt to acknowledge the number of years we've been married but it sure is hard to realize we've been out of high school for 50 years.
Later,
