LIFE EVENTS
4th Quarter 2014
This page was inspired by an electronic newsletter
that Susan Curran 72 sends out every three months to her classmates in
the seventies. It's a great way to find out what has been happening to
your friends. With her permission, we have adapted her wonderful concept
on this page.
Let us know what is happening in your life. Do you have
an animal tale, a wedding, a new grandchild or something to brag about
that you would like to share? That's part of the fun. Come
on, be creative!! Share your life with us. Contact
us today.

Transitions
Carole Walther (Jakubczak) '60 lost her father Dale L. Walther, Colonel, United States Air Force (Ret.) on October 12, 2014.
According to Carole: "My father actually joined the Cavalry reserve in West Des Moines, IA and used to compete every week with Ronald Reagan in horse competitions. Daddy usually beat Reagan.
When Reagan became President, my father sent him this huge Congratulations card that said "Some people will do anything to get attention!" He came to Texas to find a job and worked in the oil fields for awhile and was called up into the U.S. Cavalry. They used to ride through the hills of Texas. Then he switched over to the Army Air Corp when that first formed and eventually became part of the U.S. Air Force."
