In Celebration of MHS Class of 1958

A Tribute and Celebration

We were the class of 1958, members of the Greatest Generation as well as children of the Greatest Generation. Born in 1940, we are also called members of the Traditional Generation.

Our childhood, post World War II, "was the best of times . . . it was the age of wisdom . . . it was the epoch of belief . . .it was the season of Light . . . it was the spring of hope . . . we had everything before us . . .we were all going direct to Heaven . . . ." (A Tale of Two Cities, Charles Dickens.) At least, that's the way I felt about it. We were truly blessed.

Katrina Videos, Made Near Ouida

These are videos of the Katrina storm surge, made at the overpass of I-10 and 603 to Waveland/Bay St. Louis, the afternoon of the hurricane. The water is near the top of the bridge and covers Hwy. 603 in both directions. The videos were made several miles from the Gulf. Our home is approximately 3 miles east on I-10 and 1 mile north from here. Videos were made by some Diamondhead boys.

Wow is all I can say. My family and I stayed near this intersection for a week of vacation recently, and we could see the foundations where houses had been and many, many, dead skeletal trees still standing. Unbelievable. The owner of the house we rented was swept away and killed in Katrina.
