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 ~

A Great Read Classmates!

The reports are that the truckers are getting supplies to the stores. People are stocking shelves all night and letting old people shop first. Carnival cruise line told Trump we can match those big Navy Hospital ships Comfort and Mercy with some fully staffed cruise ships. GM said to hold our cars watch this, we can make those ventilators starting next week where we were making cars. Restaurants said mmmm, we have kitchens and staff we can feed kids. NBA basketball players said, hold our basketballs while we write checks to pay the arena staff. Construction companies said here are some masks for the medical staff and doctors. Two Democrat Governors were told we will make it happen by a Republican President who has fought with them for three and a half years. Yes, we are a nation divided. We are a bunch of woosies who can’t live without baseball, NASCAR, NBA or going to the beach or a bar.

A TN company, Old Glory Whiskey, saw a need and volunteered to change from whiskey making to make hand sanitizers. Work is in progress to be an approved manufacturing source.

A Japanese admiral in the middle of the Pacific said it best in 1941, "I think we have awakened a sleeping giant."

What communist China didn't count on was America saying "Hey hold my beer and watch this."

Give us two weeks and we will be more than ok.

Sharing this from a FB friend. We have a wonderful country and an amazing God. I know we will be ok.πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡ΈπŸ™πŸ»πŸ™ŒπŸ»πŸ™πŸ»πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡Έ

Father Of My Children Died


Early this morning I received a call from my daughter that her Dad, Jesse Aaron Boyd, Jr., passed away in his sleep.  He was a graduate of St. Aloysius High School in the Class of 1952.  We were married for 14 years and had five children together; four daughters and a son that passed away with lung disease 19 hours after birth.  This picture was taken while we were dating.  He was 86 years old, never remarried and was a devout Catholic.  He will be missed by the whole family.  Rest in peace, Jesse.
