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.

A reading and party is planned in New York on May 30, in which David and other authors are invited to read. Amy Tan, Stephen Elliott, and Anthony Swofford will also read. Imagine being in the company of such famous authors!

Congratulations, David. Your classmates are proud of you! You are a good product of the Meridian School System.

I wondered how one could tell a story in six words. Neat. Really took some time and effort to create that.

His story reminded me of what the Chinese man told his wife on seeing their newborn. "Two Wongs don't make a white." I guess that is a story in six words.
