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.

Ella Kappes Edwards - Autobiography

In December 2006 I retired from Stamm Advertising after 27 years. My “retirement job” is full-time in Reference Services at the Flowood Library, a beautiful new library that is just 3 miles from home. Last summer I bought a small house and have enjoyed being a home owner except for grass mowing.

I have two wonderful daughters, Marian and Nancy, who with their husbands are bringing up my four fantastic grandchildren: Daniel (18 in Sept. 2008), Megan (10), Caroline (13) and Sarah (11).

I’ll not be at the Philadelphia reunion, but will be in Meridian the weekend before and look forward to seeing many of you then.

What a nice picture. Sure you can't be talked in to attending the reunion?

Ella, it is so nice to see you. I would have known you anywhere. We will miss you at the reunion. You can always change your mind.

So nice to see your photo and hear from you. Hope to see you at Coty's "Woodstock II."

Ella,
Your post shows us that persevering pays! The picture is especially lovely. Is that your backyard?
