After visiting over 60 countries in the past 25 years, George and I have decided to cruise the United States. Our last trip was sailing up the Mississippi from New Orleans to Memphis. I was so impressed with the South and their lifestyle. They still believe in the American way and family values. It was a wonderful trip. We are planning on cruising the Great Lakes this June, which I have never seen.
I am still playing tennis 3 times a week (although my body would rather lay on the couch and read) as well as Mah Jongg and bridge. We spend the “season” attending great theater, concerts and speakers' series. The summers are HOT, and I finally get to spend my time reading on my couch. Hope everyone has a great New Year! Stay healthy! 01/02/26

Compared to my classmates, I am one boring dude. So, what's new?
My wile Wendy and I are going on 30 years in Texas. My limitations keep us close to home. We have traveled most of the world, so we have many memories that get replayed. To my classmates in your travels, if you see a derelict on the side of the road, stop and drop a few baht into his tin cup, it might be me!

Prayer groups are working for Jim Short's complete healing. We know God's plans are greater than our understanding. We pray the Lord will fill Jim's days with peace, direction and unexpected blessings.
Sent with love to my friend, Jim, and I encourage everyone to join in prayers for Jim's healing.

Helen and her husband, Milt, had dinner with Ben West and a few other friends at the El Dorado Golf Course restaurant recently, and enjoyed catching up with news about each other. Milt graduated from Wilson in 1954, and was an outstanding athlete on our baseball team.

Bette's daughter, Erica, has let us know that her mom has later-stage dementia, and is not remembering her school years. She does remember, however, the times at the beach after school! Erica said, "She's hanging in there, but is not doing too well. Just wanted to keep in touch."

Doug Noble called to let us know that his good friend, Bob, passed away on January 3, 2026, in Philadelphia where he has lived for quite a few years.
Bob was a very generous man who donated over $10,000 to our reunion committee over several decades to enable us to put on very good reunions. We actually turned down his additional offer for our 70th reunion because we already had enough money to buy the meals for all who attended.
