Dear Edith and Committee Members of the Reunion of the BHS Class of 1958:

With great interest, I've just read your email messages and looked at the pictures of this year's 55^th reunion celebrations.  What a pleasure it is to become vicariously reacquainted with guys and gals that were such an important part of the fabric of my youth.

I am so impressed and appreciative of the work that your committee did in preparation for the event and especially with you, Edith, and all you've done for this year's reunion and the fifty-five years leading up to this event.  The many hours of love and dedication you have spent keeping up with all of us and sending us reports of alums' activities, health reports, and the loss of our classmates have been greatly appreciated.   Such dedication has made the class of 1958 remain close and special.

Thank you so very much.  What a special treasure you are to all of us.

Sincerely,

C. M. Shearer

Edith, Gayle and I will attend the 50+ reunion. I emailed Clarence and have made hotel resivations. I am looking forward to seeing you and others. Is there anything else I need to do? Best Regards, Richard Martin.

Gene Sewell was a quality person who who always had a smile, laugh, and a great attitude whenever I saw him. He always carried himself with an air of confidence. His memory as a member of our graduating class in 1958 is very clear in my mind to this day.

Fellow classmates of the famous class of 1958. I share the well expressed sentiments of our own Professor Lester D. Langley......a learned person of letters in academia. Have often remarked to family and friends.....and even acquaintances....that in 16 years of school, I personally observed only one (1) fist fight.....that was in the 9th grade.....do not know the nature of the confrontation. It was over in 5 seconds and a bloody nose was the only damage. Never saw any person bullied or pushed around.....never saw drugs or anyone totally inebriated......obviously no drug overdose. Never knew any alcoholic parents, divorces or adults that abused spouses or children. People mostly lived their lives quietly, went to work daily and earned an honest living. As Dan says, common sense and reasonable behavior were prevalent. In many ways...."back in the day".....was better in so many ways than the values and behavior of our society in 2016. My most treasured memories of the Borger High School class of 1958 was that our classmates seemed to always be smiling and happy to see each other. Yes, we lived in a simple but wonderful time!  :)

Fellow Borger High School 1958 classmates,

Sunday, January 14, 2018 is the 78th birthday of our classmate Richard Bostick.

He and wife Marie have endured much difficulty in the past year.

Their home was flooded during Huricane Harvey.

Then Richard fell and fractured his hip.

Currenntly, he is in therapy at:Cllear Lake Regional Medical Center, 500 W. Medical Center Blvd, Webster, TX 77598.

Richard was scheduled for hip surgery last week, but incurred pneumonia, so the surgery was cancelled. He as lost weight from 165lbs to current 124lbs.

Richard and Marie are feeling very alone due to all their tribulations.

They need our encouragement. A "Get Well Card" would certainly lift their spirits.

Marie cell phone: 281-467-6609.

Edwin Gerald Hazzard

Just returned from visiting Richard in Hospital. His condition is not good, but he is in good sprits. Marie has been by his side for about 2 months. She needs time for her self, I hope to releive her this week. We talked about going to the reunion together. In the mean time

FEMA is very slow in giving help toward fixing their house. They require Est of replacement furniture, before they release money for remodle... a lot of leg work. I am doing this, next week.

they will be in Hospital for several more weeks, after he gets his strength back, they plan another surgery on his hip. Then more therapy in hos. 

More later,

Gerald

Jimmie Darrell Brown

Gerald,

Thanks for visiting Richard and Marie today on Richard's 78th birthday.

I'm sure Marie appreciated your visit, as she has felt alone during all the tribulations they have endured with flooding of their home from Hurricane Harvey, followed by Richard's health issues.

She will sleep better tonight knowing that you are willing to assist with the FEMA documentation.

All of us BHS 1958 classmates salute your efforts.

Jimmie B. Brown

Professor  Dan,

Thanks for your message. As always, you express your wisdom in a scholarly and amusing style. Keep 'em comin'

Hello Dan, I also enjoy reading your posts and would enjoy participating in your Sunday School class.  My path is somewhat similar to yours as we joined the Bozeman United Methodist Church and I became an Independent not too long ago.  This morning I read a blog by Parker Palmer that discussed the same issues we face caused by living more years.  He stated that "Wholeness does not mean perfection: It means embracing brokenness as an integral part of life."  Keep up the great work!  John W.
