I checked the obituaries section. Lotsa memories. I used to have a senior class pic for 1962--I will try to see if I can find it. I still have stuff stored in the attic from my return to Beaumont from LA.

Hi, everybody!
Hope you are all doing well. I'm still here in Canada. I live in Maple Bay,B.C.,on Vancouver Island. My house is on the east side of the island on the ocean. I go for walks along the beach every day where I see eagles, herons, cormorants, and many other birds and marine life. I'm on a deer path. Every day they visit my yard. Come visit me.
I enjoy spending time with my daughter, Sarah, who lives in Victoria on Vancouver Island, about an hour south of my house.
I have such fond and happy memories of my high school years and think of all of you with so much affection and appreciate your friendship very much. I hope you all have a wonderful summer and year ahead.
Love to all of you,
Marcy

What a blessing to see some of the old places we used to visit and see! I graduated in 1962. I remember so many from the past that were and are so dear to my heart. Jack Blake and Mickey Webster were very close friends.Mickey and I double-dated the night before he was called back to his base. What a time we had piled up in my 53 Chevy convertible at the old circle drive-in.

Thanks for all your hard work. I have certainly enjoyed catching up on old friends through your website. Our FHS class of 1962 is still making memories that we all cherish so very much. We were truly blessed to have attended such a great school.

After 38 years as a Methodist Preacher and pastor I retired in 2010. Loretta and I have settled in the small community of Jonah, just off Hwy. 29 east of Georgetown, TX. (She is no longer "single on Sunday"). Listening to the sermons of others has taken some getting used to. Not having meetings to attend and budgets to raise came easy. I sub. teach a SS class and preach as opportunities arise. We now have 8 grandchildren between our 4 children. Running is no longer in my routine. My last race was a 5,000K. I finished 2nd in my age group. The first place finisher was a former regional competitor from Houston Lamar. After that my knees began to talk back to me.
Now I am learning to be a farmer by growing a small peach orchard and a garden. We call our little place "Goof-offer Estates". By the grace of God I am as one who has been living his dream. Should you be in the area and wish to kick back and relax just let us know. We'll leave a light on for you.

I've lived in beautiful central Texas for about 24 years now. Our "new" home (four years old) is about 11 miles from Wimberley. My husband, Stan, and I have three children each. I have three daughters and have the pleasure of two step-daughters and one step-son. We've been married since Feb. 14, 1987. Stan is a Civil Engineer.
Three months ago I retired after working for what seems like most my life. I'm enjoying being at home and trying to find my niche in life without going to an office everyday. I don't miss it but do miss being around my friends. My last job was at SWT in the Human Resources office. My hobbies include yard work, crafts, antiquing, flea markets and refinishing furniture. I'm still looking for my one great talent! We have only one grandchild so far but hope to be lucky enough to have more. Logan is three, his mom is Stan's oldest daughter. I've gone to only three reunions, but enjoyed the 40th the most. I hope to see all of you at the next one!

Greetings to the Class of '62!! Would love to hear from you! I've lived in Clarksville for the past 26 years, but I'm still a Texan. I was married for 38 years, divorced, and just remarried another Texan who turned out to be my widowed neighbor. We've been married for all of 15 months and are extremely happy. Between us we have 5 children (all girls except for my son) and 10 wonderful grandchildren. We have quite a time when we all get together!! I've taught 6th grade English at the same middle school for 19 years and will retire in 3. Bob is retired from the army and was also the Chief of Security at Ft. Campbell, Ky, when he retired for the second time. We are very much looking forward to just being able to spend time together doing the things we enjoy.
Would love to hear from (or info about) Cheryl Venable and Sandra Moore.
Best wishes to all,Karen
