1.  From Phil Hammond ('64) of FL - 11/17/16 - " Sylvia (Hall Hammond - '66) has good news!":

Good news!! Wanted to let classmates know what the scan showed. Mayo said that two of the spots have gotten smaller and the third one they can't even find now. Told me if I didn't have a history of cancer he wouldn't even worry about them but have to be on the cautious side with my history. Anyway I have a 6 month reprieve this time; never gone that long before. Needless to say we are ecstatic with this report and can breathe a sigh of relief for now and really enjoy the two week cruise. I asked Phillip if he still wanted to marry me again and he said life would have been so boring if it weren't for me. We are leaving for Tampa on Thanksgiving Day to board Holland America the next day. Bill Crosley ('64) and his wife who live on a boat will be here tomorrow afternoon, and Larry Boyles ('64) and his wife Pat are flying in tomorrow morning and they all will be staying with us for the weekend. At least now we won't be having a pity party for me and Phillip; we can enjoy them. Thanks, Carol, for all you do, Phillip and Sylvia    SUPER-DE-DUPER! Thank you so much, Phil and Sylvia! Y'all have some well-deserved fun! http://www.nnhs65.com/requests-prayers.html

SAD NEWS:

  Butch Ragland ('63) of CO - 11/19/16:

We've received word that Butch passed away unexpectedly yesterday, which I believe was the same day that his wife, Ethel, returned home from the hospital following her successful knee replacement surgery. I have tried every way I can to pretend that this is all a mistake, but the harsh reality just keeps intruding. I am completely stunned. Butch has been one of my subscribers for over 13 years, and was always one of our biggest supporters in many, many ways. His family, friends, and classmates have my deepest sympathies. http://www.nnhs65.com/requests-prayers.html
