I finally had time to sign in. Very busy since the holidays. Spent
Christmas in the mountains with my daughter and family. Lori lives in
Waynesville N.C. Donnie my son lives here in Hartsville. Will send
more news later.

I'd like to tell all of you Happy New Year too from the sunny (at
least today) north Georgia mountains.



I admire all of you that remembered the names of our classmates, I
must have left my memory somewhere!!!! I don't remember a Bobby
Baker either but do remember Bobby Butcher but don't think he was
with us in the beginning.



I hope to get to Dalton sometime this year but not sure when yet. My
parents are still living but not doing real well. My Dad is showing
signs of Alzheimer's so want to get there while he still remembers
who I am. I'm still working so it's not always easy to just pack up
and go.

Good evening - It took a while to get in but thanks to Paul, I tried
again and succeeded :). We are in the process of packing up to move
1/2 mile from our current home and the pictures are up in a storage
facility. When I get up next week, I'll try to locate it. I had
written on the names on the back of my picture so we can fill in the
remainder of the names. Yes, Betty, the individual you identified was
Sue Lehman. I think there was a Gary Bosley in our class, but that
will be confirmed later. Trying to keep warm -2 here in Central New
York this morning and about 10 degrees now - a heat wave will be coming
in this week 47!

Some of the treasurers we have kept!

Stay warm

Hi from the sunny South!
I am enjoying the messages and pictures and many memories. We hope to
go to Ohio in May 2009 for the 50th. I am recuperating from a hip
replacement surgery 6 weeks ago--a result of our very active and
wonderful 41 years in Brazil. We are retired in the capital and enjoy
traveling, leading the interdenominational English Church, and music.
If you want to contact us personally, use our Brazilian email address
which I check several times daily (otisbetty@...)
Blessings, Betty

Happy New Year to All. 2008 - 8 means New beginnings and I look
forward with anticipation to this year. 2007 did not start out the
best for me, although it ended with much blessing!

With each new year on Jan 1st, I become one year older. Ugh!
Because it's my birthday today! There's no trying to hide my age from
you all as you about the same age as me! I'm happy to have a
birthday, rather than the alternative!

I have many things to be thankful for as we start the new year such
as I'm working right now (contract job) at a great company 2.9 miles
from my home, a job that was a very direct answer to prayer. At this
point, the girl whose place I was taking, has returned, so I'm just
going day by day and hopefully can work there for a while. It's a
possibility they could find a place for me.

I have a wonderful family, some still back in Dalton, 2 daughters, a
son, 1 daughter-in-law, 1 son-in-law and 2 beautiful grandsons 5 and
3 here with me in the Dallas ara. I will meet up with them later
today to have a seafood birthday dinner. I have many wonderful
friends, a great church, active in a jail ministry, and new doors
that are opening for me to sing both Gospel and Patsy Cline songs.
I also have a home that I enjoy that's in Allen, TX. My health is
good and I live an active, full life.

I'm also thankful for all the reconnecting with old friends and
classmates that has taken place this year, since my trip home to
Dalton last August. It's been amazing and fun! You all have been a
part of that too!

HAVE A GREAT NEW YEAR'S DAY AND A WONDERFUL YEAR AHEAD!

Hello, Everyone!

A Merry Christmas to All!

I've scanned our first grade picture and posted it in an album on the
website. I've made the album so that anyone in the group may add
pictures to it.

Can anyone name all of the 54 little darlings depicted in the picture?

How many of the 54 graduated in the DHS Class of '59?

Enjoy!

Chuck

Hi Dan,

Glad to see you on board. It looks like you have already figured out
how to post pictures! If you need any help with the site here, let me
know and I will be glad to assist. If I can't figure it out, I will
find someone who can!

well mine reads like this...........
Pat Dearolf, a beautician, is prettying all the gals, giving them new
hair styles, plus finding many pals.
i did go to canton beauty school the fall after graduation and worked
for awhile for Ethel Woodruff in Dalton. Then after I married and
moved to orrville i worked at buehlers mart wearing gold lame smocks
and 4 in high heels to work each day (not my idea) i worked there for
about 2 years (married in May 1963) and had lots of trouble with my
hands from the perm solutions and such and spent lots of time/money at
the dermatologist. When i changed dermatologists the new one would not
treat me till i got out of that profession. So that was the end of my
career as a beautician. the last part of the prophesy ...finding many
pals is the truest part as I have been blessed with many friends. if
you need to be reminded of what yours said I have access to the very
yellowed class of 59 newspaper.

Yeah ....I am excited that Corrine has signed on with the rest of us.
That makes 10.....Corrine, I am looking forward to hearing more from
you and where you have been. I hope more of you will be posting photos
soon! Congrats to Linda who starts a new job on Monday! Hoping to see
more messages also.

I've joined and thanks for getting this organized. Corrine (AKA Corky
until 1967 :-)

well i came back last night after 2 weeks touring the back roads of
Italy. It was fantastic and you must experience it! i hope to post
some pictures soon. Hope to see more classmates join in soon. Please
encourage someone you know to sign up and participate. pjlee

Just found out today from one of our classmates that James Forrer
passed away about 3 years ago. This is very sad as he was a great guy.
I think that makes 8 that are deceased. We were a class of 56 and from
what I can figure there were 33 of us that started school together.

Hi Chuck,

I am glad to see you "signed up" on our group site. Thanks for the
pictures too. If you have personal contact with any class members who
haven't joined up yet, twist their arms!

Thanks,

Paul Sturpe

I have created a database with all the classmate information that i
have gather up to this date. (not bad considering i started two weeks
ago) I think you can access it if you are signed up and then check to
make sureI have your correct information. I have been typing all
evening so I am getting cross eyed. You can also print a copy for
yourself if you wish. Thanks for all your help in pulling this info
together and also for signing up on the group and supporting our effort
to reconnect again. Thanks also for the pictures you have posted. If
you have any thoughts or concerns email me direct and perhaps I can
help. Also Paul Sturpe will be signing on as a moderator as well so we
can keep this a safe place to hang out till we meet again. Any
additions or corrections just let me know...thanks pjlee

This is a great idea and should be a lot of fun.

I'll post more news later.
