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.

Remember Maxine Reeder Strickland In Your Prayers

As many of you know, Maxine (our favorite story teller) was not able to come to our reunion because of problems with her left foot. She had to have surgery and was still recovering. It was her third surgery on this foot, each requiring complete bed rest for weeks at a time.

The surgery was not a success. She continues to have problems with this foot and is in pain.

To make matters worse, now she is having problems with her right foot. Surgery is recommended, but for now, Maxine is wearing braces on both feet which she will have to wear for the rest of her life or until surgery repairs the problems. Her doctor said that actually she should be confined to a wheelchair. Her doctor is trying to obtain a scooter for her, but is having difficulties with red tape. Let's pray for the scooter too.

Please keep Maxine in your prayers and stay in touch with our dear friend.
