If you are over 40 years this is for you

Margaret W. "Peggy" Ware (Koger)

Pete,

I am glad that you are better. Take care and stay away from the eggnog- just call me and I'll drink it for you (It is my favorite thing about Christmas).

I believe same as you guys , I never thought that I would live long enough to have all these medical problems. I have a theory about me, I think the doctors have been slowly using my body for spare parts- I have so many missing parts that I am sure there is an identical me somewhere.

Hppy New Year everyone,Debbie

My apologies for the class website going down. My credit card that was on file to renew the internet name had expired. I have renewed the site for 2-years so we should be safe that long. We actually pay a couple fees; the internet name - www.roswellhigh-goddardhigh-nm-1966.com - just renewed, and the larger fee for hosting the website and storage space for pictures and more. We are okay for now. Do not worry.

Graveside funeral services for MARGARET ELIZABETH NICHOLS KUENZLER will be this Thursday, January 16th, at 11:00 a.m. at the "Old Section" of the Carlsbad Cemetery (Carlsbad, NM). Rex Holt of Clovis, NM will officiate, assisted by Kevin Pence, Associate Pastor of First Baptist Church of Carlsbad. There is no visitation scheduled. Hopefully some classmates can make it and show respect to her family and our love for Margaret.

Hi Jim, I am glad to contribute, but it would help to know how much money we are talking about. What is the cost of keeping the website going? Does the group have a bank account? If so, how much is in it and what is it used for? Finally, where to I send a check to and to whom do I make it out-and no, I am not going to make it out to Jim and Kathy White.

Terry Michael Boone, Just like myself on my 1963 RHS site, Jim & I both put it on OUR CREDIT CARD.

That is the only way to make a payment for the site.

You can send me the money for my site if you would like (LOL) Just kidding

I feel we should all contribute to the class account, and then Pam can write a check to Bill and to Jim to reimburse them for the costs they have covered for the site through their credit cards.

My apologies for crying "Poor Me" on the expired credit card date issue. While I thank everyone who wishes to contribute, the amount was only $38 and I can handle it. Forgive me for crying out such a poor explantion.

However, let us talk about money in our class account. We have none. After our last reunion, one classmate was not reimbursed several hundred dollars (he/she/they) had put into the reunion coffers and did not want me to ask the class for reimbursement. Our account was so low it had to be closed and the tiny remainder (around $50) put into our treasurer's name in order to avoid monthly account fees.

Looking ahead, not always but generally, we have had a fund in which to start a reunion with. Are you thinking about next year's 55-year reunion, if we have one? Additionally, so you understand all the class finances, we have had an accumulation fund funded with memorial registrations. That is where if you had a now deceased classmate friend, you could register them, or several friends, for the reunion for $25 apiece and they would have special memorial recognition. One year, the late, great John Russell give me $500 and stated, register any in our class that has not had someone sponsor them. Where does this pool of money go? It goes into a special, totally confidential, travel fund that helps classmates who really, really, really want to attend the reunion but cannot due to finances. Some we pay the registration fee. Some we pay registration fee and hotel room. A few we pay registration, hotal and flight to Roswell. All these are dependent upon the financial need which, as you can imagine, is embarrassing if disclosed and why only 3 people (me, treasurer, reunion chair) know about the assist. Now that most of us have strong income limits, it could be used more than ever. We are a class that cares.

Should we have a 55-year reunion next year? Who would like to volunteer to chair this reunion? How extravagant or minimal should it be? If you would like to chip in a donation to help build up our non-existance bank account, then please send a check to our treasurer, payable to our treasurer, PAM BERRY DAVIS, and send to her address below. It does not matter if your contribution is $10 or hundred(s). All will be appreciated and used properly. I would love Pam to receive numerous checks in the next two weeks, but that is just me. We will report it to you.

Finally, allow me to say that MARGARET NICHOLS KUENZLER'S graveside service was held today. If anyone attended, would you give us a report? Thanks to all our classmates and blessings to you.

Barbara Dell Buzbee (Thompson)

Today in Palm Springs, BARBARA BUZBEE met with KATHY and I and also LINDA HENRY'S mother, CAROL HENRY, and Linda's sister, BRENDA HENRY WHITE. We had a fun lunch on the strip and stayed for three hours. I hope all our classmates will take the effort and time to find classmate friends and visit with them. You may be missing a lot if you do not, and may never have another opportunity with the friend in which you have so much history in common.

Barbara and Jim. Today Barbara phranked me and stood on her head in front of the Sonny Bono statue, but that may be TMI. (-:

Jim, Kathy, Barbara, Carol and Brenda.

Happy MARTIN LUTHER KING DAY tomorrow and also a very Happy Birthday to our extremely successful Wyoming hunting and fishing guide, GEORGE HUNKER, III.

I just returned from my annual trip to Florida where I visited with my cousins and we met with Bill and Margie Sloan for a wonderful lunch at the Outback in Lakeland, Fl. They are preparing for their 6 month “around the world trip” and have promised to post pictures. On my trip I also stopped in Pass Christian, Ms. and spent time with Bobby and Ernie Allison. They are regulars on my pit stops on my trips and are a delight to be around. I also spent time with Karen Herrington and Bob Ream on my way home. What a wonderful couple and I so love to see and visit with old friends so we can reminisce and renew our friendships. Old friends are The Best friends! I reconnected with my best friend from high school recently (Cathy Morris Rhoades) through Facebooks Remembering Roswell page and that has been an incredibly rewarding experience! Why do we let so many important people drift out of our lives and so much time pass before we realize that they are still so important to us? I am so grateful for getting to reconnect with Margaret Nichols Kuenzler for the last 7 years and my life has been so much richer for her presence and I don’t want to take for granted the gifts that are presented through old friendships. I cut this trip short but plan on going down to Aransas Pass, Tx probably next month and stopping to visit with Mardi Gonyea Nicklin before returning home. Until the next time..........
