Hi Robin,  Good to hear from you.  Thanks for thinking of us.  Things are going down hill.  The good news is that she says she talks to her folks everyday.  Even asked me if I had called Web to finalize the plans for our fishing trip.  As you know, Web and Joyce died in 1982 so if she is talking to them everyday I figure we have a direct line to Heaven.  She is kind of stuck in 1982 and I think that is because of the trauma of her folks death.  She was recently was in the hospital for a UTI and when then nurse came in with medications and asked the verifcation questions she got her birthday right.  She told the nurse her name was Jill Webster.  The nurse got a funny look and I said "maiden name".  Then the nurse asked if she knew what year it was and without hesitation she said 1982.  So I think we are stuck for now.  Since you were the minister for Tucker's wedding, did you know that when he turned 43 he and Rebecca had a daughter that according to the doctor's was never going to happen.  She is going to be tall like her maternal grandfather.  She started first grade last week.  Keep fighting for those farmers!  H.D.

Doris Flood (Burton)

Still praying for you both, H.D.  Your patience and dedication to Jill is something we should all learn from. Take care, dear man. I know how hard this must be for and on you.

Prayrs are headed to you from Hawaii too!!!

TERRY BOONE asks "Why aren't more comments and conversation going on the website?" That is a good question and it has been asked by ROBIN LOSTETTER and more. It is because of these reasons, I think:

1. Many classmates do not have the curiosity or heartfelt desire to know "What ever happend to ........?"  [for that, we are truly sorry because we do want to know, including what is happening with you]

2. Many classmates do not think others want to hear their thoughts or happenings in their family.  [We really do want to know. You and your family are important to us]

3. Many classmates or their family members are suffering from some disease and are tied up with it.   [but we really do want to know so please, please tell us so we can offer our thoughts and prayers]

4. Even I have backed off of comments because few, if any, would respond. It was getting where 5 out of 6 comments posted were posted by me. I am one of the administrators. This is NOT a Jim White website, it is a website for graduates (and almost graduates) of Roswell High and Goddard High Schools.  [Please, if I throw out something about my life, as I will in the next few postings, that is to jog memories so you can post about your life, which we want to know about]

Now, please read future comments which will be forthcoming.

KAREN McCARTY FINK just remarried and is now KAREN McCARTY MESSINA (I hope I spelled the name correctly but she can correct me). Karen has probably dated John for two years. He is a nice guy, likes to dance and dearly loves Karen. They are having a lot of fun, except for the part when Karen had to sift through her life, house and furniture for the past 50-years and get rid of a lot to move in with John. Karen, I beg your forgiveness for stealing these photos. Please let us know what is going on.

Wow .... John really, really wanted Karen to say "I do."

What is not to love? Two lovers on a Florida beach at sunset. Karen laughing, John Smiling, John wearing Marine Corp cap .... I like him already.

After 29-years, LINDA HENRY CROWDER left beautiful Austin, Texas and returned to the "sunny slopes" of Ohio where her children and grandchildren live. Sorry, could not find a picture of our visit with Linda in Austin. Please update us, Linda.

Widower BOYCE McFARLAND married his sweet, Swedish, first wife, Annie. It was destiny. As a young Airman in the USAF in England, he met this Swedish blond bombshell. Their friends and family from back in the day in Sweden, loved their getting back together.

JILL WEBSTER REED is still struggling with dementia. She did remember me when I visited a few months ago. She is kind of locked in the the 1980's and back. Her husband, H.D., has been an amazing support during this journey. She loved you. How much? She drove from D/FW to Roswell early before a reunion in order to call on classmates who we had an address, but had not heard from. She loved this class that much. Please drop her a note at

Other questions: Did I hear TOMMY ALEXANDER had an accident on his motorcycle or was that a figment of my imagination? 

Will DR. JIM BROWN ever finish the museum he is building and plans to donate?

Did the Ruidoso gang (MARIANNE, DOREEN, BETTY, KAREN and others) get together this summer?

Yes, ROBIN LOSTETTER did retire from the ministry .... for the umpteenth time.

Please, everyone, drop us a note and let us know what is going on?

A little about what is going on in Jim White's life recently.

Kathy and I spent time on the Washington coast.

There is a lot more but those that might be interested see those pictures (along with the above ones) on a Facebook Group, Jim & Kathy's Excellent Adventures.

Karen McCarty (Messina)

Hi Everyone!  Yes, I did get married last weekend and I am now Karen McCarty Messina. Yes, Jim, you did spell it correctly.  We took a short honeymoon to Anna Maria island in Florida and it was beautiful!  It stopped raining long enough to enjoy a sunset cruise which was beautiful!  And yes, I married a marine!  I never thought I would remarry at this age, but I have to tell you all that it was the green alien blow up doll that I brought back from our reunion that cinched the deal!  Hahaha. John was mesmerized by a woman that would come to a neighborhood BBQ and bring an alien!  So he proposed in January and gave me a ring on my birthday on February 14. Now we are busy planning our month long honeymoon to Niagara Falls and points beyond. We leave on September 25 and drive up the coast. No worries
about coming back to go to work anymore!  Don't you love retirement!  I hope everyone is having a safe Labor Day weekend.

Congrats Karen on your Marriage.  Looks like a very nice man to spend your life with.  Have a ball!

Margaret W. "Peggy" Ware (Koger)

Congratulations, Karen! It is so nice to hear of love finding you again after losing a spouse.  I am tickled to death for you!  Migr Niagara Falls sounds wonderful! Much love and blessings! 

Margaret W. "Peggy" Ware (Koger)

In response to us not posting.....this has been a summer of the doldrums for me. Hotter than Hades here. No energy. Can't wait for Fall and .Winter.  

Doris Flood (Burton)

So happy for you, Karen.  It seems that finding someone to share you life with just "out of the blue" is more than any of us could hope for.  I know there are a quite a few of us "old ladies" who have found that second love.  I wish you all the happiness in your new relationship.  If you are ever out western Nebraska way on I-80, please stop in and see us in Kimball!

Linda Lee Henry (Crowder)

Hi all!  First of all, I'd like to wish Happy Birthday to my amazing, long time and wonderful friend, Jim White! Wishing you the very best day because you deserve it!! And secondly, Karen, I wish you and your new hubby the very best!! Have fun!! 

Karen McCarty (Messina)

Thank you to all who sent best wishes!  I am still in a little bit of a shock that love would find me again at my age.  BUT I am happy it did!  It has been extremely hot in Florida as well and the added humidity hasn't helped at all. I'm with all of you who are waiting patiently for fall and winter to come!  Happier days ahead and many blessings to all!
