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.

James R. (Jimmy) Satterfield - Autobiography

Conroe TX

Hello to all ‘58 classmates and am looking forward to attending the big 50 reunion. Special thanks to the reunion committee for all your hard work in organizing what am sure is going to be an exciting event.

My wife, Natasha, and I have a home in Huntsville, Texas while continuing to work internationally on financial sector assignments. At the last reunion we were working and living in the Republic of Georgia (Joseph Stalin’s birthplace). We finished work there in 2004 and went to Bulgaria where we lived and worked until mid 2006 when I went to Baghdad, Iraq to work while Natasha went to our home in Texas. In January 2007 we returned to Sofia, Bulgaria till July. I then went to work in Juba, South Sudan in the fall of 2007 and completed that assignment in March of this year.

We are thinking about slowing down a bit and spending more time with family - my five children and their families which include 16 grandchildren and one great grandchild all of which live in Texas. Hopefully, golf will become my major job while also continuing to work on short term international assignments and as time permits to be campground host volunteers in National or State parks in the USA.
