Shady Grove – Vaccinated and feeling free, free, free

To all of you who have been asking or wondering–I’m back! I have been fully vaccinated, have climbed out from under my rock, and have begun to socialize again. I feel free–free to make my life count, free to praise God more freely, free to be “stronger salt” and “brighter light” as I interact with other people.

Jerry and I attended the Chamber of Commerce banquet, the first time in a few years. We attended Dudley Davis’ memorial service, and met at his home “The Aerie” afterwards for a time of fellowship and the scattering of his ashes. Then on May 22, the Class of ‘56 met at Shady Grove for our 65th anniversary class reunion. It was wonderful! Since our last reunion, two years ago, we lost six classmates (Bill Snellings, Pauline Peden Coston, Betty Quarles Davis, Billy Wayne Taylor, Dudley Davis and Robert Bracken.)
Our next class reunion is planned for April 23, 2022, at “The Aerie”, Dudley Davis’ home. Mark your calendars, save the date.

Memorial Day weekend Greg, Charlotte, Jerry and I spent in Gatlinburg for the Gaither Family Fest. We attended five concerts, which were all very good.
Congratulations to Joel! It is good to see him happy again.
