Meridian High Wildcats '58: Ronnie Adams

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.

Ronnie Adams - Autobiography

I retired from Western Auto after 31 years as a store manager, sales manager and for final 15 of those 31 years as national display manager. I worked in or visited 49 states in this position and was able to see the many wonders the good ole U.S.A. has to offer. I hope to visit Alaska soon to make it 50 states. I have one million frequent flyer miles to try to use up--probably will never happen!

I have one lovely daughter who is married to a really great man and I have one grandson who is seven years old. I still try to attend all of the Wildcat home football games and have had the same reserve seats for 30 years. I spend a lot of time in Birmingham playing golf or fishing with my brother Kenneth who is married to the former Kay Miller, a 1959 M.H.S. grad.

Well--that’s about all I have to say except I hope to see EVERYONE in 2013
