1960s Class Reunions
I graduated from high school in 1966, when Johnson was President, the Viet Nam war was at its height and three years before the first moon walk. That was 43 plus years ago. Now there is a reunion planned next month for those who graduated from Ninnekah High School. Almost all of us are grandparents and some are great grandparents. The time of youth flies by so fast taken up by marriage, jobs, kids and the everyday struggle of life. In my 60th year I tend to look back on my life and think about all that has happened, both good and bad. At 20 years of age I felt like the world was my oyster and that 60 was a number shrouded in the mist of the future. Life was on the tips of my fingers at 20 and now the sands of time is all to quickly slipping through my hands. I enjoy everyday as best I can whether it be sitting at home quietly with my wonderful wife or enjoying my parents, kids, grandkids and great granddaughter at family get togethers. Celebrate each day and thank God for this country, family, friends and the joy of life.
