2008.01.15 Tuesday Quarterly Meeting at the SageBrush in Asheboro: (Pictures may be found at http://donredding.smugmug.com/gallery/4178356 )
We had about 35 people present and I forgot to take notes. Off the top of my head: I remember that Tommy Warren had passed away earlier this week and his funeral was this day in Georgia. A few special moments were shared about memories of Tommy: his big smile, his haircut, his very shiny shoes, and just a great guy. Edna Faye Pugh Cobb is having double knee surgery 01/16/08 (and the report is that she is doing well, lot of pain, is sedated, and will be in the hospital there for a couple of weeks). Nolan Galloway lost his son around the end of the year. Gary Hicks was with us and in good spirits coming off surgery 10 days ago. (See Lloyd's email for more details on addresses, etc.) Betty Stout Albright was to have surgery soon. Can someone remind me if we heard from Edwina. Lloyd and Ann Hamlet were thanked for handling our email connection. They are asking that we help in getting correct addresses for everyone. A few emails have been returned, as well as some of the postcards sent to those without email. We decided to meet on Tuesdays with next meeting back at Sagebrush in Asheboro on April 22nd. Eddie Wilkes led the business part of the meeting and he is good at keeping it brief. Charlotte led us in prayer as we remembered our classmates. Please let me know what I forgot to include here. dsr
