Years going by

May 12, 2009 ---- 35 years (1974) ago May 12 was on a Sunday and it was Mother's Day. How do I know this.. well for me it was a big day... it was the day the class of Prentiss High School took there last look and walk as students at the school.

It's hard to believe it's been that long and tomorrow my youngest, Mary Kathryn, will all but end her years at PHS (Pascagoula High School).

These past 35 years has been full of ups and down like everyone has. I would like to look back at the old class of 74 and tell them that I made it. maybe I didn't make it as for as some, but I went further than most. Two years after walking off the football field I walked away from Prentiss to start a new life here in Pascagoula. By no means was it easy, but I did and I'm thankful to say I got three great daughters and two grandsons now.

Now with almost 33 years in at the hospital I'm looking forward to a somewhat early retirement. I can't help but look back at and wonder what happen to the all of the Class of 74. I do know that some of my class mates are no longer with us. Cindy passed away last year I was told.

To all my old class mates at PHS .... I hope your pass 35 years has been as good as mine has been.
