Question: the ** in the classmate profile = in memory, that mean these classmates have died? Does anyone know how, when or what happened to any these friends ? WV
Wilson, I know about two of our class mates in the "In Memory" section. Fran Shevitz died in a car accident. Rosa Schiff died of breast cancer. They both died in the same year a few months apart.
I was able to track down Chuck Herzog in Minn. I left a message requesting help with a Calculus problem. Mrs. Baker would assign 2 hrs of homework at the end of class(anyone remember)? Iwas sad to read of Mary Marsh's passing. I have an old picture from Mary Munford of her along with several other 1970 TJ classmates. Wilkie Wilkinson had a really good picture of an early Westhampton class. Maybe we can get some of these old photos to anyone interested.
I have been very anxious to find out about Jimmy (James G.) Massie. Somehow, I heard that he had died, but haven't been able to confirm it. I have 'googled', but to no avail. I'm hoping that someone knows for certain whether Jimmy is living or has passed. He was so dear to me.
If anyone is planning a cruise to Alaska, be sure to contact me ahead of time. It would great to see anyone who comes through town. I also enjoy showing people Juneau and giving my "nickel tour."
Not really a response to any of what's been said - but I'm flying to Richmond tomorrow, May 26, to spend weekend with my Mom. She will be 96 on Sun and we're having a little family birthday gathering. I'm not sure if there would be any time to get together with anyone who's there, but if you want to try give me a call 313-673-6202. I arrive around 5:30 Wed night and leave Mon afternoon.
Hello, everyone. Looking at the 1970 History portion of the website brought to mind that the movie M*A*S*H had a rating such that you couldn't see the movie unless you were 18 which, at the time, I wasn't. So I didn't see it until years later! My, how times have changed!
As far as I know Jimmie Massie did pass away in 1995. I remember reading the obituary and being devastated. I even researched it some at that time to be certain it was the same Jimmie Massie in our class. I remember him as being someone who could always make me laugh (or at least smile).
Thanks, Carol. I did chat with Barbara Seldon this week, and she was able to confirm that Jimmy had indeed passed away in '95! I remember SO many wonderful things about him...but, one of my sweetest memories is the memory of his eyes! No man should have had such beautiful, long eyelashes! Oh, how I coveted those eyelashes!! Thinking of him makes me smile. You're right, Carol. He made most everyone smile. God rest his soul.
