In Celebration of MHS Class of 1958

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.

Marjorie Barham Sims - Autobiography

To each member of the Committee, thank you for your work on this reunion…not to mention all previous ones. It is good to keep in touch, to see and be together again as a class, and you have made those things happen for fifty years. Bravo!

My husband, Tom, and I continue to enjy living in the suburbs of Washington. D.C. where we volunteer in our community and at our church. We travel at every opportunity. We devote a lot of time to the National Military Family Association, and advocacy group with lots of programs dealing with the special needs of children and spouses of members of the military, most especially those now serving in Afghanistan and Iraq. Visit the website http://www.nmfa.org/ and you will see what a great organization it is.

Phyllis Beckman Ainsworth lives nearby, and we are having some more good times together. We do movies and are trying to find a place that has better shrimp than Taste of Saigon. It is doubtful we will succeed, but we will continue to search in earnest.

Thanks for posting your auto-bio here, I liked your photo when it was first posted and I like it here.

I went to your website: nmfa.org. You provide invaluable service(s) to the often forgotten partners of those we send in harm's way.

Although I did not see reference to John Conlee's song, "They Also Serve..." or to John Milton's lines, "They also serve who only stand and wait.", the work you do reflects these words and the need to tend to the stress the loved ones back at home have to deal with.

Thank you both for your service to the unsung heroes... the families.
