Fifty years: in a short space? "It's impossible." I've been with the love of my life 50 years. We've worked hard, raised four great girls, have nine grandkids (not a homely one in the bunch). Still in the country and have forgotten about that condo. We've traveled some, but now spend lots of our leisure time swinging on the porch enjoying the scenery. It takes lots of energy keeping things up, or trying to! Still involved in church and looking forward to our heavenly home someday (Hope to CU there). The way this old world is, it can't be long, huh? Life was so uncomplicated 50 years ago-we didn't realize it then. Thru it all, God has blessed us so abundantly, and we praise His Holy Name for the great 50 years and however many more we may have. We've come far...all of us!

Hello Beverly, (Gabriel/Whipple)
I received the letter and the agenda for this year's North High School reunion. It was really great to hear from you.
I doubt that Pat and I will be able to attend. Our grandson graduates from Des Moines Lincoln (he was the starting center on the football team last fall), and we will be in town for his graduation which is the last week of May. After that I have to be in Denver by June 17th for the rest of the summer; that is, if things don't get too hairy with the Quest situation. The V.P. and three of the directors that I gave revenue figures to on a regular basis are being investigated, and I'm afraid I may be next.
Anyway, I have about 75 graduation photos (billfolds) from our classmates of 1953 that I have saved for the past 50 years, and I was wondering if you would like to borrow them to make a collage for the alumni to view at one of your scheduled gatherings. Just an idea. When we held the President's Circle of Excellence at USWest, I would take photos at all the activities of the previous day/night, and then rush to get special 1-hour photo service, so I could stay up all night making these fabulous collages on foamcore board for the attendees to view at the next morning's brunch. They loved them and would stand around the six or seven easels for 10-15 minutes looking at all the pics. So if you are interested, just let me know.
I think you do a great job putting the reunion 'together', and I know and can appreciate how much effort you put into it.
Hope you have a GREAT REUNION!!!
Regards, Jim Lang
04/09/09: Jim and Patricia moved to Corpus Christi, TX in 1997. Jim keeps busy with his bridge and golf games.
