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.

Jimmy Lewis - Autobiography

Since the last time I saw most of you I have retired from my practice of OB-Gyn. This occured just over a year ago. I am enjoying doing the things that I now want to do at my own pace. My wife, Laura, and I have been married for eleven great years and we spend a lot of time in Orange Beach, AL where we have a second home. I have nine grandchildren and number ten is due in September.

Two years ago I had tragedy in my life when my oldest son, Jim, was killed in an airplane crash. My three living children are all successful and have been a great comfort to me.

I plan on coming to the reunion and will take a part in the entertainment with the band. Denman Powers has done a great job in getting the band together and I believe everyone will enjoy the entertainment.

See you at the reunion!!

Jimmy and Laura

Jimmy,

Please accept my deepest sympathy for the loss of your son. How glad I am that your surviving three are a continuing cource of comfort to you. Yet, the lost one cannot be replaced.

Since I have known you nearly as long as I have known myself, I will look forward to seeing you again at the 50th reunion.

Tee
