Congratulations and many continued blessings! Your "children" are the same age as my only daughter born in '84. No plans to be a grandmother, but it makes me happy to know that my classmates get to enjoy theirs. Caleb--arriving just in time for an historic ride to the moon (and back!) that will make April 1st, 2026, an important date on the 21st Century Timeline. Enjoy the progeny!

Hi Tom Gettys. I wrote "Tom Getty" on my post to Patti Daughtery, which I will quickly edit. No relation to the Getty Fortune, I suppose. I love that you updated your "then and now" photos! The Reunion Committee tried really hard to reach as many classmates as possible, but you're right, everything about our aging communication methods is becoming obsolete right before our eyes! If you check the homepage for this site you'll see the announcement for the EHS All Class Picnic on Saturday, May 2, 2026!!!! Now you're officially invited. Can you play the Alma Mater on your recorder? We still have the lyrics, you know. Sincerely, Peggy Test.

Hi Tom. When I noticed today was the "Real Columbus Day," I remembered you and Patti Daugherty share the same birth day. Well then, Happy Birthday! I hope the music is still the best soundtrack of your life. Best wishes for many more.

I was looking at EHS Birthdays and I noticed you and Patti Daugherty share the date of October 12th. Being a Spanish teacher my whole career, I celebrated both Columbus Day and Dia de la Raza every year with my students. It was always fun tracing the history of this World - Wide changing event. I hope your birthday was just as much fun and significant! I looked at your website and was flabbergasted by your musical achievements. Software, math and music; very logical and amazing. The "Happy Birthday" song probably sounds better on a recorder!
