Your posts are always so interesting. Loved reading about your high school reunion and the different occupations of classmates. Some great information to keep the readers interest i.e. Christi's love life. Great ending with a cliff hanger!

Thank you so much for reading this. I hate having to write about bad things that seem to keep happening. 1995 was a bad year for me, but the reunion was a good thing which I enjoyed. Thanks for six stars.

Yes, most of us think of knowing the future to be an asset, but in many cases, knowing the future could be like being trapped in a horror movie. Thanks for sharing.

Thank you Ric, I think that is good way to put it. It could be like being trapped in a horror movie. You can always hope for the best if you don't know.

I have my 50th high school reunion coming up in June. I'm hoping to go back for it but it's like 20 hours away. LOL Thank you for sharing; I am so glad you are taking time to write these memoirs.

Thank Barbara, I didn't make the 50th but I've been to a couple since. Out class started having them every year because so many were passing away. I was going last year, but it turned out to be a memorial service for our class president instead. Too depressing.

Comment from Sankey
This was a great read. I am sorry I have not been with you for such a long time. A lot of issues I should probably do another ramble on soon. Hopefully, I can stay with you from now on if I get a chance I will try and pick up missed chapters.

It is so good to see you back. I hope this mean your the spot on your scalp is healing. I've been concerned about you and I've missed you. I really appreciate the review and the six stars.

I have approached our State member and now in touch with the Minister of Health's office to try and get me admitted to hospital sooner.
Comment from Ben Colder
I was surprised you even recognized anyone at thirty years. I sort of feel toward those who were invited and had not graduated. I was too although I left for the Army and finished with them. Your mother lived too far in the past. Lol.

We wee as happy to see those as we were the ones we graduated with. Some of the had gone to service as well. My mom knew how to push my button but I guess she installed them. Thanks so much for the great review and the stars

Comment from royowen
It's probably just as well we can't see the future, we'd probably lie in bed and not get up, that's the difference between hope and no hope, if we didn't have hope, we'd probably stay in bed. (You said the next few months weren't going to be good) but the kids seem to be maturing, great post, love your biography. Blessings Roy

Thank you, Roy, Yes it is good think we don't know what is ahead and can just going on hoping things will turn our well. My children are grown but I'll always be concerned. It is like they are an extension that we care about but all we can give is advise and only if they ask for it, They are always in our prayers.

Comment from Ulla
Hi Beth, I think it's a good thing we can't look into the future. What would we do with it anyway?. As you know, I love following your story. All best, Ulla:)))

I appreciate you reviewing in spite of the fact you have to type on the phone. That is a lot of work and make your review special.

Comment from Judy Lawless
This is another interesting chapter, Beth. I have to wonder why those to women didn't vote with their conscience at the trial. It's wonderful you went to most of your reunions. I've never had the nerve to go to any of them. I haven't really kept in touch with many of my classmates since our lives went in very different directions.

Thank you Judy. I think those women saw how I was being treated by some of the more vocal members and decided that didn't want people angry with them. A lot of my classmates have died since that reunion.

Comment from nancy_e_davis
I enjoyed your essay on the class reunion very much. I only attended one of mine the tenth As I remember. It was never that important to me to travel all the way from Nevada to Illinois for that. Our class was huge. Over a hundred students. I wonder how many are still with is. I am 86.Well done, Dear. Nancy:)

I wouldn't have been so interested either if the school had been large. My class was mostly country kids that I'd know most of my life.I not far behind you. I will be eight-five this year and my classmate were starting to die at the 50th. It isn't as much fun any more. I appreciate the review.

Comment from Begin Again
Class Reunions.... I went to them in the beginning but the last few were organized by the very popular group which of course I hadn't been part of...the mouse in the corner with a book lol). Besides I graduated from a class of 465 and life hadn't allowed me to keep in touch.
So nice to see you were involved in school theater and did it so well. Nice memories!
Hugs, Carol

Thank you Carol. I'm so glad I did live in a small town and graduate from a small class. Most of the class had 50 or 60. I don't why our class was so small. I knew a lot of kids all my life. Unfortunately now many have passed on.
