James A "Jim" White
Here is what little bit I know, or think I know, about our lifelong friends.
BUTCH COLBERT and Sharon celebrated their 50th anniversary near the end of April. We hope you got to celebrate with family in Las Cruces.
BILL SLOAN and Margie will celebrate their 50th anniversary in October, when they return from their trip to Peru (where they are now), then Chili, then Austrailia..
JIM BROWN recently had a murder in the street in front of the Museum he is building in Tulerosa.
HANK GARRETT, did you ever find any help moving your containers out of Roswell? How is everything going with the Mars trip? Sure, you are retired but I know you must be keeping tabs.
MARY MAULDIN GARCIA and her husband recently moved back to Las Vegas, Nevada. How did the move go, Mary? Did you sell your home in Yuma?
RICK MARCUM, welcome back to Florida from Mexico, although I loved (pictures, anyway) your condo there. Where, exactly, in Florida did you land? Have you updated your profile and contact information on the website? Any more novels? Keep us up to date so we can read them all. Also, how is the movie script writing coming along?
JIM SANDERS, we are all so thrilled you came all that distance to see Jill Webster-Reed. Hooray for you? Were you able to see Laurie Shuey Andersen while in the area?
ELIZABETH GWARTNEY LOWNEY, now living in Arizona, needs to go visit her BFF JUDI ADAMS MORRIS in Colorado. Judi told me so. Well, not in those words but we all understand.
Hey, everyone else, H.D. Reed posted Jill's address. If you knew her, will you please write her and Laurie Shuey Andersen. Both are confined and notes are much appreciated. If you do not have an address, private message me on this site and I will give them to you. My apology, H.D., for not seeing Jill on this pass thru. We were tied up at Bridegeport (Runaway Bay) and had to move on. I did find time to visit my parents and brother, Bob, buried in Denton.
Finally, honor Memorial Day this weekend. Here is a picture of my holding Ed Griffiths sword presented to his widow (the only Gold Star widow in our class) LAURIE SHUEY ANDERSEN. Edward was killed in the 1968 Tet Offensive. It is possible that Agent Orange contributed greatly to Laurie's second husband's death. Freedom is not Free.

Okay, write and tell us how you have been spending your children's inheritance ... or how your grandchildren are smarter than other people's grandchildren .... or how your arthritis is limiting your life ... or how you appreciate classmates, your closest friends from the past.
