THANK YOU! THANK YOU!

THANK YOU so much to the committees for taking so much time out of their busy schedules to make this a SPLENDID evening for EVERYONE.

It takes every person in every committee to make an event such as this so successful, but I have heard from many people about the outstanding work that

Deborah Maupin has done, working on the Paradise Alumni Informatin and Statistics and fitting everything together for a special time as this. Thank You Deborah.

Also, THANK YOU to the Paradise United Methodist Church Congregation for such

an inspirational service the next morning. The choir - including the choir director, pianist and organist - was fantastic and it was just a fine continuance from the night before.

Many hours and hard work resulted in an absolutely FANTASTIC TIME for all of us.

Thank You! Thank You!

Pam (Krob) (69) & Charles (69) Terry

A little bit about Tom Maupin. He was so generous. I chose not to take photos of people alone, so Tom remained on hand to help me out, in order to fulfill my wishes. Then . . . . he said it was OK to be photographed with Pam and Charles, as he used to date Pam.


And . . . . he said he used to date Jane too, so I could take his picture with her too. The thing of it is . . . . the gals must not have a very good memory, as they can't remember dating Tom.


Thanks Tom for buying a Paradise Directory for us.
We certainly would not be able to label these pictures without it.

Larry Morrill & Millard
Larry was waiting for us to arrive so he could
visit with Millard. Larry and Millard went to
Mexico together the summer after Larry graduated
from college. Millard had taught 1 year at Luray at
that time. They had a great time. Many Memories!

CLASSY EDITH!

Isn't she Beautiful?

So Stylish and Elegant!

Vada Krumwiede sent an email stating that her Mother celebrated her 97th birthday July 24, 2008. She said that her Mother maneuvers around in a wheelchair at times but tries to use her walker most of the time.
.
Wow! She is a very amazing lady.

Ben Howe (54)

Ben and I were sitting together at a table in the "Quiet Room". I looked at his name tag and said, "Ben Howe. Oh! Are you Janet's Dad?" I think of Janet and all of my students being much younger than just 4 or 5 years younger than I am. And . . . I was not really thinking correctly at that time.

Ben smiled and said "No, I am her younger brother - Oh!! I mean older brother." We laughed about it and decided we were getting tired. At that time, I just decided to take his picture. I am so glad I did and that we visited a little bit. He was a real gentleman.

This was also in the quiet room, at almost midnight.
Can you tell? A lot of visiting had been going on before
this picture was taken. I think the carriage was just
about ready to turn into a pumpkin.

When we took the picture of Dan and his family, we tried to find Mona. Then when I started putting these pictures on the blog, I really felt bad that we did not take the time to find her.
Here is a picture of Mona in the Choir on Sun. Wow! What a choir director's delight!
Janette and Mona, both, have the perfect posture.
