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.

Gloria Brown Bruister - Autobiography

Time really flies when you’re having fun, doesn’t it? My life is mostly family oriented although I still live in Butler, working for Community Action as a social worker, and I’m still in the courthouse.

I don’t have a lot of spare time, but my free time is usually doing something with my girls or visiting them. Amber, my oldest, is manager of King Loan Service in Meridian. Her husband, Todd Morgan, is co-owner and manager of Morgan’s Plant Farm in Toomsuba and they live at Dalewood.

Ainsley, my youngest, is finally all grown up and graduated from the University of Alabama. She recently accepted a new position as a television producer at ABC 33/40 in Birmingham where she produces a morning news program, “Good Morning Alabama.”

We all enjoy Alabama football, “Roll Tide, Baby”, antiquing, shopping, cooking and eating, and just generally having fun together. Amber is really a gourmet cook; I’m just the old fashioned kind; and Ainsley is learning.

Other than my family, my church, Mt. Sterling Baptist Church, keeps me busy. I have taught a children’s Sunday School class there for more years than I can remember. The only thing I wish for is grandchildren; guess that’s not going to happen unless Ainsley can find a husband who can pass her mother’s and sister’s scrutiny! I still work on genealogy, but it’s not as consuming as it used to be. The free time I expected when Ainsley went away to college never happened, so that’s another project for a later day.

My warmest greetings to all my classmates. I hope all of you have a wonderful reunion; maybe next time I’ll be there.
