Hey there classmates. I was just on vacation in Mexico and dedicated some of that time to the preparation of a DVD I'm creating for our "CELEBRATE ME HOME" reunion next year. While working on it, I had so many memories (mostly good........ha) and just wanted to encourage you all that while many of us have moved away and some intentionally trying to forget perceived failures, lack of popularity or whatever, the real truth is that we are forever intertwined. We are forever together simply because were born & raised in Caruthersville, MO. What are the odds of that for us? We have had the marvelous (might not have seemed at the time) privilege of being raised in a small town that valued things that are no longer valued. We had history there with most of our families from there............roots..........another thing that has been lost. As our country has progressed it has also regressed in so many wonderful things of that past. I really hope that we will all release anything of the past that would keep us from coming back together in 09. Let's treasure and celebrate one another and cherish this time together. In looking at so many of our classmates who have passed away, I was reminded that life is really so short. In looking at the pictures of Kerry Hooper, Debbie Clark, JoAnn Rhodes, Dewey Coomer and others it seemed as though only yesterday that we were together just beginning our lives. I am excited about this great opportunity we have to once again be together. Please send me pictures........tanariver@aol.com. Or mail to: Tana Lonon, 618 SE 20th Place, Cape Coral, FL 33990. AND last but not least.........why don't you guys leave comments and give feedback here?
