Sharing Photos

Hi Guys
If you will send me photos of you or you with your family I'll get a slide show started for this site. You can scroll down and see my first contribution of me with our newest granddaughter. Surely you all don't want to just see my photos. Come on and join the fun. You can also send me old High School photos etc or funny pictures of other classmates. We'll do a fun thing at the reunion with them and add some competition to make it more fun.

I am excited about finding out about every one's life after we've "grown up". True, some of us may still be searching for what we want to do when we "grow up" but by 55+ we surely can get past High School and enjoy life long friendships, renew old friendships of the past or make new friendships with those we might not have had the opportunity to know in the HS years.

For instance, I was a florist for 12 years and found out someone else shared that love and experience. We now, more then before, can relate over a shared interest. Each of us have grown and hopefully matured to be even better friends then before.

Another example would be my dear friend, Laurel Gilmer T. In High School we were friends, but lost touch with one another while in college. After college our friendship was renewed and strengthened and then after we married and moved apart in location and life style we lost touch again. Then, when looking for address for the last class reunion, in 2006, we once again were reunited and now enjoy a renewed and closer friendship with our famiies. That has helped to inspire me to continue reaching out to make connections with those who I've known or considered friends but have "lost touch". How about you? Are there any HS friends you would like to say "Hi" to or "I'm Sorry" or "What's up"? If so, you need to send me an E-mail so I can anonymously get a message to someone for you. We may have a King and Queen type of thing for the person who most people would like to see at the Reunion. Who would you like to see there? Send me an E-mail at hushai@gmail.com to let me know. Just put in the subject line. I'd like to see...

My last example is less fun. If you will remember, or go back through this blog to read it's beginning several years ago, you will see that I asked a question about wanting to find someone who had been on my mind. She was someone I respected but we did not have shared classes or interests in HS so we were not close. I wanted to know how she was and asked, "Where is Pam Oliver?" Well, a year or so later I happened to see her in a local store in town, we chatted and said we would get together for tea sometime. That never happened. Within the year she died of Cancer and we never had our chat. That is another inspiration for me to not put off doing or saying what I can to strengthen friendships. We have to realize, time is moving on and there is no time like the present to let others know how important they are or have been to us. So, Send me your. "Glad you are in my life..." list by Email for a project we want to do for the reunion. ALL E-mails will be respected and privet for the purpose of encourageing others. NO names of senders will be given. We want to encourage participation so feel free to get your lists and ideas to me as soon as you can.

Hope all of you are enjoying a beautiful Spring and Easter Holiday.
Blessings,
