Dear Friends and Schoolmates,
Does Ray

him sing to you, too.

PRAYER REQUEST:
From Sandi Bateman Chestnut ('65) of
VA - 11/06/15, 7:39 AM:
| Requesting prayers for my
husband, Dale (Chestnut - Nakina HS, NC - '54 - of VA), who's
having a catherization for possible blockage in his leg.
YOWZERS!
Certainly, Sandi!
Thanks, everyone, for your
prayers! Dale was discharged from the hospital today! He's still very
sore, not in much pain and has to take it easy for a couple weeks. Our
friends that really know him, will realize it's going to be difficult to
keep him off the golf course. Plus his blood pressure is under control.
Just very glad to be Home, Sweet Home! Love you all!

WHOO-HOO!
Great news, Sandi - thanks!

From My Friend, Susan, of NC - 11/07/15:
| “The spirit of
gratitude is always pleasant and satisfying because it carries with it a
sense of helpfulness to others; it begets love and friendship, and
engenders divine influence. Gratitude is said to be the memory of the
heart.”
-
Joseph F. Smith |
Thanks so
much, Susan!
From
Fred Mays ('60) of VA - 11/07/15 - "Two Deaths to Report":
| Hello Miss Carol:
Hope this finds you well and having no problems
physically as you recently experienced.
Thanks so much, Fred!
As for my
health, I fear my attempts to downplay everything have led to a serious
miscommunication. Whereas I have better days than others, I have
osteoarthritis in both knees and both hips. It is degenerative and
progressive. That progress doesn't include getting better. The pain is
constant, and runs from bad to excruciating. On October 7 I switched
from using one cane to two, much like a skier. For reasons I've
mentioned several times before, surgery is not an option for me. I
really can't complain, as many, many people suffer constant pain far
worse than mine, but it is what it is. Thank you for your concern!

SO VERY, VERY TRUE!
This one, for instance:
I'm expecting out of state company on
Wednesday, I have a bazillion things to do, I have zero time and even
less energy, and even though I have completed several projects lately, I
still have a few Works in Progress, and yet... and yet (yes, I KNOW
that's redundant; just humor me here!)... and YET this pattern keeps
wafting through my mind, coupled with the taunt, "You EVEN have all the
yarn (well, MOST of it, anyway
