So many trees around Greer and Jackson County were heavily damaged by the ice storm in December. You could see it at the Martha Cemetery and around Mangum.
Mother wanted to see how the old house looked at Martha so we drove down, looked and turned around. It look tired and not kept up. We both don’t seem to have too much of an attachment to it. Just wanted to see it.
Uncle Orvis had told us that the county had finished the brand new bridge over the river. As we drove up to it I couldn’t believe it. It didn’t belong there. It made the whole scenery look different, very modern. This couldn’t be the place we had so many picnics.
I know things have to change but this was one of those things I didn’t like.
But maybe it won’t wash out now.
As we drove back to Mangum, Uncle Orvis told stories and pointed out his land & other’s land.
Class of 1970 - 40th Reunion
We got back in time for me to clean up and get ready for the banquet at Quartz Mountain. I checked on Sharon and she had already gone. I went over the Janice Maxfields and met up with Marsha and she rode with me.
This was the Class of 1970’s 40th Reunion. It was a night of remembering, talking, & laughing. We had 22 of the class of 1970 at the banquet out of 61. Six have passed away.
I’m not for sure how long it had been since I have been to a reunion but it was too long. I think I may have been at the 20th.
Jimmie Kay Coffman, Donna Griffin, & James Craig
Sherry Fails, Janie Veach, & Sharon Patton (Callen)
I had many people come up to me and I had to read their nametags to remember their names.
The most embarrassing person that I didn’t recognize was Junior. My ex-husband. It has been about 15 yrs or more since I have seen him and his appearance has changed. He was bald on top and had white hair around the back of the head. He looked good but I wasn’t expecting that. It was fun to catch up with him, Sherri, Ama Lois and Sammy. Their mother, Maggie, passed away a couple of months ago.
After the banquet the “Changing Times” band played and we all continued to talk and catch up on each other’s lives. I had a great time!
