Beginning Our 60th Class Reunion

This past Thursday night four classmates (Class of 1959) got together for an early celebration of our 60th class reunion at El Sombrero Mexican Restaurant. We had a wonderful time reminiscing our "good old" high school days. Left to right - Ina Whittington, Myrtle Curro Alvarado, myself, Patsy Glass Duncan, from TN, who was with us for 10 years at St. Francis Xavier Academy and graduated from H. V. Cooper High School. Patsy is celebrating her reunion this weekend and we will be celebrating our reunion on April 26, 27 & 28th. It was so great to see and visit with our former classmate since she was here 10 years ago.

Jack Baker & Friends

Lance Moorehouse (grey sleeveless shirt) commented that he is blessed to be a part of a great group of men who have an incredible bond. He is forever grateful for their friendship, honesty, and commitment. Fantastic conversation and camaraderie at a beautiful setting at Magnuson on Lake Washington. James, Paul, Jack, and Greg, (sounds like a band) thank you for everything!  Jack Baker (Class of 1959) commented that he loves these guys!  

Wishing Jack and his wife could make it home to MS for our 60th class reunion but he will be with us in spirit.  A great picture of Jack with his friends!
