PHS 1950 Necrology since our 60th reunion

Gwili (Prater) Fisher asked that I advise our classmates on the internet of recent deaths:

Dr. Tom Swope (this past week).  Massive stroke

Oleta Lewis Thompson (Gus' widow)  During our reunion.  She intended to come out from Portsmouth to Shawnee to meet us there one PM, but her health didn't permit it. 

Duncan White (Nancy White's husband)  A really good person who enjoyed our reunions along with his great wife

Emma Lou Mustard    She was a majorette and came to an early reunion, but I hadn't seen her for years.  Majorettes always have great legs, but who am I to notice?

Carolyn Carr   (I believe Hortense Bemse Robinson told me that Carolyn Carolyn was an important producer of ESPN broadcasts).  I am a little forgetful, friends, but I am only 78, soon to be 79.  Some of you older ones may understand if I am a little wrong in my memories.

Barbara Laughlin   Our valedictorian. 

Judy (Fairchild) Carr   (Jim Carr's wife) They lived in Gahanna, Ohio.

Ted Truitt  (Ann Bartlett's husband)  fairly recently. 

I got the annual out and perused the photos of our class.  Each one's personality came out of the page as I glimpsed across.  These were truly great people and they will be missed.  I paused, prayed for each of them in aggregate, especially those who have passed on, seeking the blessings of Jesus upon us sinners.  Thank you God for your great plan!

Thanks for keeping us informed, Gwili!
