John Meekins:

I live in Columbus, Ohio where I am doing public relations for the State of Ohio after about 20 years in the newspaper business as a reporter and then doing pr in the private sector.

I've enjoyed three reunions, 1980, 2000 and 2005 and thank all of those who worked to make them work.

Funny story about my going to Hobbs for the 2005 reunion. As I waited at a gate at the Dallas/Ft. Worth airport for a plane to Lubbock, the gate area suddenly started filling up with all these Japanese people. Young, middle aged, old!  I mean soon it was like shoulder to shoulder.  As more of them appeared, I thought to myself: I didn't think this many Japanese in the whole world had the vaguest idea where Lubbock, Texas was -- let alone wanted to go there.  The more I thought about it, the more I...  Well, I checked!  I was at the wrong gate: B4 instead of A4.   I changed gates and just in time.

Of course there was absolutely no possibility of a mixup coming back from Lubbock since all the flights for American Airlines, every single one of them, out of Lubbock had only one destination: Dallas/Ft. Worth.

Greetings from Denver where I have lived since graduating.  I got the HHS web site from Jim Riveria who kept trying to send it to me via e-mail that continued to fail because he was using a typewriter.   We now have that corrected.  I am trying to contact William (Stubby) Stockton who also graduated HHS about 1958.  He and his family were originally from Menard. TX.

Hello, Class of 1960.  I've enjoyed seeing the photos of many of you at the 2000 Reunion and I wanted to post this picture of my wife, Jane, and me.  Jane, who's from Philadelphia, and I have been married for 35 years, and we have two married sons, both in the military, and one grandchild. 

You can see our online photo album at ememories.com called The Edwards.

Both John and Jane are United Methodist ministers in Thiells, New York (near the Hudson River about 30 miles north of New York City across from Sleepy Hollow country and just below West Point). Their son Scott is an Air Force officer in Dayton, Ohio who is a behavioral research scientist (the picture of Jane and John was taken in 1999 when Scott got his master's degree in clinical psychology at Spokane, WA). Scott and his wife, JoAnne have a son, Hunter, 16 mos. John and Jane's other son, Jonathan, is graduating in September 2000 from Officer Candidate School at Ft. Benning, GA. Later Jonathan, with his wife, Jennifer, will be assigned to Ft. Drumm, NY, where he will be an officer in the 10th Mountain Division. John and Jane are looking forward to the proud moment when Lt. Scott Edwards will pin Lt. Jonathan Edwards' bars on his shoulders.

Just a tidbit:  Nancy Weiss, Lubbock, TX, who brought George W. Bush to the podium for the Republican Convention, is a personal friend of mine. We were provisionals together in the Junior League '77.
