James A "Jim" White
First, Karen, thank you for your comments. Our kids look at the map and see their lives ending quite a few states away. We look at it and see our ending at the county line, at best, and some of us see it ending about two blocks from our home. (If that is a correct analogy)
Along that line, I am going to violate website administrator rules and give you an address.
Laurie Shuey Anderson and Andy Anderson celebrated their 50th anniversary this weekend. In reality, they have been married 48 years (remember, Laurie is our only Gold Star Widow having lost her first husband in VietNam). Andy is a retired Veteran Air Force Pilot and his contact with Agent Orange has caused major health problems of great dispair (my words, not theirs). Andy is a very positive person, as Laura Knight Atkins and husband, Jessie, will attest. They drove from Santa Fe to Fort Worth to celebrate with them. Laura would be giving you details but she is busy flying to Germany in the next 12 hours or so.
Bottom line is Laurie and Andy celebrated their 50th Anniversary as they suspect they do not have two more years together on this earth. Laurie, you know as she is a wonderful lady who has been so helpful and so positive at reunions. Andy is also loved evidenced by the number of friends and former pilots that showed up to the party to give their respects to this marriage. I have met Andy and will verify he is a great guy worthy of our love and respect. If you care to send Laurie and Andy an anniversary card, please write them at:
Andy and Laurie Anderson - 6817 Glen Meadow Drive - Ft. Worth, TX 76132
Laurie and Andy, we love you both. You two are the example of character that our classes of 1966 have.
