Comments:

Who can remember it all? Wow! I can't believe how the years have flown by! I was married only once and had 2 beautiful sons. (One of which is now with the good Lord--I miss him so much). My youngest son lives in Lebanon, is happily married and owns a music shop there. He is a musician and very good, I might add. My oldest son, Rodney, had 2 beautiful kids who now live in Brownsburg!
I owned my own hair salon in the Southport/Greenwood area for almost 25 years. It was succesful and I enjoyed my clients and co-workers very much. My Mother wanted me to move to Lafayette in order to be closer to her and I did that a year ago. Since then, I have worked as a caregiver with a company here in Lafayette. It has been very rewarding as far as the joy it gives you to do something for someone in need of help.
Jerry and I have been divorced for many years, but we remain friends for the sake of our son and grandkids. He's a good man. He graduated in 1964.
I have enjoyed learning some ballroom dancing and even though I'm not so very good at it anymore, I still love the show--"Dancing with the Stars" and wish that I could still do all that. It's great fun!( and great exercize, I might add)!
I hope to hear from some of my former classmates and all those who graduated from Delphi.
I have written a series of children's books that I haven't yet looked into publishing--basically the writing was a form of therapy for me after my son was killed--actually they are pretty good (just ask John Franz). He helped me with some thoughts of his own and I appreciated his point of view!
I hope to see all of you at the class reunion and may God keep all of you safe and well!

Hi Nancy! I hope your birthday was a wonderful one. You may not remember me, but I was (and still am) a friend of Judy's. I do remember meeting you a few times (back in the day) and I know that Judy loves you. Bless you for all that you have done.
