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!

Fundamental liberal philosophy ... Yep, friend!
Does this explain liberals to you?
"This is sheer genius."
In a bid to stem taxpayer losses for bad loans guaranteed by federal housing agencies Fanny Mae and Freddy Mac, Senator Bob Corker (R-Tenn.) proposed that borrowers be required to make a 5% down payment in order to qualify.
His proposal was rejected 57-42 on a party-line vote because, as Senator Chris Dodd (D-Conn) explained, "Passage of such a requirement would restrict home ownership to only those who can afford it."
I can't add anything to this
SamKat will add a little though:
This is easy for you to say, friend. You worked hard, saved a little change, and always tried to mind your p's and q's. Are you trying to say real benefits from our "partnership" system with our government should be rewarded by hard work and honesty? I resemble that remark.
Jeanie and I have bought three houses (mortgaged) and have paid ten per cent down each time. How dumb we must be for thinking such money deals have helped keep America great. The banks have benefitted from interest 'earned'. The government non-representatives of "We, the People" encourage those who don't work, to keep up the good non-work!
Go Tea Party! Ignore our national media and simple minded 'representatives' like Chris Dodd (D).
