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.

Maxine Reeder Strickland

Maxine writes and says: "Ouida, here is the latest picture of me with a baby raccoon that I had just bottle fed. His name is Scooter. I am always feeding something, so I have named my farm "The Garden of Eatin", not EDEN, but EATIN. I am sitting on my fenced in patio to keep the rest of the animals away from me. I am in the cage. HeeHee. What a life and privilege to be here. Warm wishes to all."

Maxine, you look so content on your farm. How wonderful for you. Be careful of raccoons, though. One tried to attack me a few days ago, and others have invaded the soffit of our house, and we're trying to discourage them with ammonia. Some can be rabid.
