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.

Ralph Parlette

Looked for this writer and came across the text for which he's most known.

Ralph Parlette, the author of "The University of Hard Knocks", is quoted as saying,

"Real birthdays are not annual affairs. Real birthdays are the days when we have a new birth."

Jinny, I hope ol' Ralph was right. Next week, I will have completed one more "trip around the sun". 68 on Thursday. We'll see. In all the health magazines, they are saying that with proper diet and exercise 68 can be the new 66.

If you have not read the book, I highly recommend it. I have read it about a dozen times and get something new each time I read it.

Truly a great book ...
