L. C. Crouch Breaks Hip
Mr. Crouch fell last Tuesday, May 3, breaking his hip. It was a clean break which did not require pinning, or replacement, however, while in the hospital his heart rate dropped to 40, so they installed a pacemaker, quite successfully. He is now in a rehab facility in Topeka for an unidentified time. As we all know, recovery can be slow when you are 88, but we certainly hope he can bounce back from this mishap.
Our thoughts are with him and Betty.

Alabama Tornadoes – April 27, 2011
North Alabama was hit hard by several tornadoes last Wednesday. The good news is Jack & Barbara Phillips are unscathed. The bad news is the damage is all around us and six people are confirmed dead in Arab just two miles from our home with many more killed around the state. Electric power was out for over five days from 2:45 pm Wednesday to 6:05 pm Monday, May 2.

Rich & Paula Visit L. C. Crouch
Richard and Paula Pearson were in Topeka on business last week and had the opportunity to visit with former Superintendent L. C. Crouch, and his wife, Betty. They reside in Topeka and were very excited to have Rich & Paula stop by for a visit. They are in pretty good condition considering he is eighty-eight and she is almost eighty-five. They remember the class of '55 well and spoke highly of the class and of the Rose Hill community.
