New Class Web Site

Today we unveiled the new, and hopefully improved, class web site. As you can see from the tabs above the News Blog is now integrated into the main site. The tabs provide all the navigation to the various categories of the site. The content is much the same as the previous site, however, the newer site should be more compatible with all the different types of browsers and computers. Please let Jack know if you encounter any difficulties or have suggestions for changes. The Contact page is the best way to send comments. We hope you enjoy the new layout!

A Pearson Wins The Lottery!

No it was not Richard or Paula, but their sister-in-law, Jane Pearson, of Redding, CA. She and her 14 co-workers from the Shasta Lake Middle School are WINNERS of the $76 million California Lottery!!! Jane is a petite, brown-haired, big brown-eyed 60 something year old who has worked in the Special Education deptartment for many, many years. Each fall they pool their $104 contribution and play the same numbers every week. It's nice to know that real people do win.

Richard Visits Wayne

Rich Pearson recently paid a visit to Wayne Bacon and found him to be in good spirits.

Juanita headed to Kansas

In her own words: "We are planning a trip to Wichita for a grand child's birthday. Charlie will be 4 years old on Valentine's Day. I am looking forward to seeing all the kids in Wichita again. We have plenty of family to visit. Twenty four people to be exact, just counting our immediate family."

Sounds like an opportunity for some of the class members to gather too. Keep us posted.

Richard Visits Wayne

Richard Pearson visited Wayne Bacon on Tuesday, October 7th, and found him to be in good spirits. He was playing a game of solitaire when Rich arrived. (Thanks for the news Paula.)

Juanita's News

From the lady herself: "We have been in Wichita (spent some time with Wayne) and Missouri. We got back home on the 12th. Catching up and resting up has been a struggle. This O' disease I have is cramping my style. But, I will not let it get me down. I'll be going back to surgery on the 28th of August. A hernia has developed above the incision from the surgery I had in January. It is big. I have to wear a belt. The doctors say it is the biggest one they have seen. Leave it up to me to have something silly and unusual to happen."

Josephine Heading to Kansas

Sounds almost like a tropical storm forecast, but really it's about Jo and Bernie heading to Kansas later this month. They will be uniting members of the family to take a "five generation picture" at Rose Hill with Jo's mom! Must also be a great opportunity there for a mini class reunion.
