Hope you had a great day. I enjoyed reading about all you've accomplished. Keep up the good life. Ellie

Have a great day! I missed seeing you at the reunion in Oct. I remember many times hiking together from Bennet Jr High up main street to church. And stopping in @ Marlowe's for a snack. I still have the wedding present of pink sheets you gave us. They are still in use!! Hope you are well. Stanford Springs isn't too far from Manchester. We came by it on our way from Maine. We could have picked you up. Have a lovely holiday season.
Love, Elinor

Have a wonderful day...the years roll along so quickly! I was so pleased to get to the 55th reunion, so good to see you again. You are certainly taking good care of each other. Keep up the good work.

Happy birthday, George... I hope you had a great day.

I remember the first day of freshman year, I was nearly 6ft tall and the size of our class was 800+.  The size of the school was daunting.  I remember going the 'wrong' way around the quarter mile square, going from Mr. Leahey's Latin class to Gym class.  The corridor was crowded.  I had an arm full of books/flute, etc.  l knew I would be late. Well, I took off and got into the passing mode, and I thought the coast was clear.  But no, I crashed into George Taylor. My books went flying.  George went down.  It was a miracle that I didn't land on some part of him,  I picked him up and dusted him off, and explained that I truly hadn't seen him.  And wasn't he young for High School??  I'm sure none of that made him feel better about life. After that  we said 'Hi' when we were between classes.  I remember when Mr Vader told us that he had died.  I have always felt that some of his discouragement must have been my doing.  Teenagers have trouble thinking beyond their own hair/complexion/height/clothes, etc.  Add to that the whole school scene.  George was'nt from my neighborhood.  All excuses.  I wish I had been a better friend, worded things differently.  Had a clue.  It doesn't take much to make a real difference.

Hi Marilyn, I just read your comment from years? ago. West Virginia! When we looked for our farm, (summer '71) we started in WV...it was beautiful but it didn't seem to 'speak' to us. We got our place in ME (150 acres for $10,000.). We are still here. Your mountain home looks peaceful and beautiful??

Thinking of you! Have a great day. I remember going to your house for a birthday do, I assume it was yours. I remember your dad carving and serving a yummy meal, followed by a cake...sweet memories!

In July '15 all of our kids came home ( to decide what to do about us ...old guys) We passed the test...we're allowed to keep on for a while longer....Who do they think they are??????
