Summer Rain
“Let the rain kiss you.
Let the rain beat upon your head
with silver liquid drops. Let the rain sing you a lullaby.”

Dear Friends and Schoolmates,
I think there's an excellent chance that wherever you are today, it's misting, dripping, sprinkling, pouring, or storming. Of course, that might just be my goofy perception.

WV FLOODING ALARM:
From Donna Price Devers
('66) of NC - 06/28/16
- "
Bobby Callis
('64) of WV":
| Typhoon Nation, we have another
Typhoon who could use our help.
Bobby Callis had 4 1/2' of floodwater in his house...and his house sits about 4 1/2' off the ground! He's lost everything on the first floor and a storage building that was swept 200' onto a ball field. He hopes to retrieve some hand tools there, but power tools will be lost. In addition to furniture, all appliances, etc., his daughter's car was ruined. He has insurance on his house, but not on the contents. This flood has been just devastating, but he's thankful he still has his house and family, and someone has loaned him a trailer (80 miles away!) while he cleans up his home. Please keep him and his family in your prayers. If you'd like to help Bobby, this
is his address:
Oh, Donna, thank you so much
for telling us how we can help!

From Ruth Ann Reece Horace ('67) of FL - 06/28/16 - "Prayer list":
| In 2005 my son passed
away and his wife took the 2 small kids to California to be with her
parents. She got back into drugs (a teenage problem), moved her drug
dealer boyfriend in with them, and finally went to jail. It took us
almost 4 years to get the state to let us have the kids. My daughter
Sheri and her husband Doug adopted them 4 years ago. Through it all, the
wife's sister, Vivian, has been a rock of support. Last year she had
early stage breast cancer and through treatment, was cured. We all
celebrated. Yesterday, while investigating a back pain, they found tumors all over. She is looking into treatment and needs all the prayers she can get. She and Ian have 5 children, the next to the youngest just turned 8 and was baptized this past Saturday. They are a beautiful, faithful family and do so much for Jon's kids. We are all heartbroken over this news. Please keep her and the family in your prayers as they go through this trial. Love to all, Ruthie
Oh, NO! Ruthie,
I'm so very sorry to hear of all this!

Summer Rain Written by Jim Hendricks (b. 10 Feb 1940)Recorded by Johnny Rivers (b. 07 Nov 1942), 1967 Summer rain taps at my window West wind soft as a sweet dream My love warm as the sunshine Sittin' here by me, she is here by me She stepped out of the rainbow Golden hair shinin' like moonglow Warm lips soft as a soul Sittin' here by me, she's here by me All summer long we spent dancin' in the sand And the jukebox kept on playin' Sergeant Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band We sailed into the sunset Drifted home caught by a gulf stream Never gave a thought for tomorrow Just let tomorrow be, now, let tomorrow be She wants to live in the Rockies She says that's where we'll find peace Settle down, raise up a family To call our own, yeah, we'll have a home All summer long we spent groovin' in the sand Everybody kept on playin' Sergeant Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band The snow drifts by my window North wind blowin' like thunder Our love's burnin' like fire And she's here by me, yeah, she is here with me Let tomorrow be
