well i am just catching up with my class of 59 reading and loving
every word that has been written, thank you all so much. just think
we have about 365 days to write to each other. just wish some more
penpals would jump in and communicate.
i am so green with envy that you guys linda nancy and keith and
sharon got to spend time together this weekend. hopefully i can get a
ga/nc gang together this summer.
i have has two thoughts on what i would like to incorporate into the
reunion next year. i know i am not the committee but i guess i am
self appointed female in charge of FUN.....i am sorry but i have a
steam roller personality and i will run over someone to get the job
done if i must!
one is the pizza trip and the other is the memorial day parade if
there is still one! perhaps we can have our own with our formals and
flowers and the boys riding their bikes...that would be long
remembered in the history of Dalton Ohio class of 59~ also can i
mention to the class president that i would love it if we could
include some of the kids that went to school with us that did not
graduate. if not in the official happenings at least in something.
peggy hoover dave mizner are two that come to mind evelyn shanklin
and i know there is more........ .any thoughts comments OK its past my
bedtime love to all pjlee

happen when you go back and maybe add some words to your text. I'm
not sure how this Yahoo email thing is set up, but when you are in MS
Word are you having trouble there with spacing too?

Right justified text, and the last is block text. Most usually you
would click on the first one – for most typing of text. That will
start all words on the Left margin and will have a ragged edge on the
right –don't even hit the enter key to return to the next line, just
let it have the automatic return.

> Jingle Clauds - it was a little min hand held tambourine type
thing - you might say. It was sort of shaped like a wooden spoon. On
the spoon part at the top were a couple of jingle type bells/not
really bells-but made little jingle sounds and you hit this spoon
type thing against your other hand to make rhythm - Got it? I make
up for playing Jingle Clauds now by playing a "mean tambourine" in my
church. I go to a church that is very Charismatic, has a lot of
upbeat music, all kinds of keyboards, guitars, drum set, flute,
violin - and you might say I am maybe the "Chief Tambourine player)
as I play it very enthusiastically. Is that wild? We also have a
dance worship team and wave flags too! I love it! Anything else to
me is boring.

> Donald Baker - Yes, that's him. I liked him and had great favor
with him. Mrs. Shankleton taught "General Business" which I think I
took in Soph. year. Gerald Snyder was in this class and she was
always on his case calling "Young Man." How funny! I liked old
Gerald, I hope he comes to the reunion. He was lots of fun.
