Class of 1959

We, the Class of 1959, celebrated our 50th reunion on April 24 and 25, 2009. This blog is about sharing memories of our class reunions and a long-ago life at our Alma Mater, S.F.X.A. and S.A.H.S. Good memories of days gone by but not forgotten! A gift to my classmates. ~Marian Ann Love ~

Looking Back at Lynn Stegall Christmas 1991

I recently found a greeting card written by Lynn Stegall (Class of 1959) in February 1992.  She sent me this picture of her son Brian, a friend, Fern, and Lynn getting ready for a Christmas party.  Lynn has since passed away, but it's the only picture I have of her, except when we went on our field trip to MP&L in Jackson during our Senior year.  Thought you would like to see it.  When this was taken, her son was a dance major in Music Man and Sound of Music at Galveston Island Outdoor Musicals.

Ongoing Health Issues

We all have health issues at our age, and if you need prayers, please email me at mariandeer@aol.com so we can pray for you.  

Recently, I was in the hospital with (mild) congestive heart failure and will be seeing the heart Dr. tomorrow because my EKG and Echo showed an extra beat and could be AFib.  My pulse was running at 44 when I had to go into the hospital.  It could be a false reading, but I will find out tomorrow.  I'm also on a picc line for cellulitis in my foot/wound.  Been on antibiotics since January 14 for that and, hopefully, get off it soon.  

Update:  Back in the hospital for a heart cath on Feb. 25th.  Everything alright.  Wearing a heart monitor for two weeks will be over tomorrow, March 5th.  The wound is finally healing up on my left foot.  Thanks so much for all your prayers.  Marian

Please keep Theresa and Chuck Kitowski in your prayers for their ongoing health issues. 

Ina is still in Shady Lawn Nursing Home, and according to Rhonda, her daughter, she is not doing great.  She is staying in a wheelchair or bed and doesn't even try to walk anymore.  She is having memory loss and not knowing who her son is and other family members.   

Again, please email me at mariandeer@aol.com if you need prayers for your health, etc. May God Bless you!  

Marian
