JAY ANDERSON - CLASS OF 1953

.

Jay & Ann Anderson

We always enjoy talking to Jay Anderson at the reunion.  He seems to really enjoy being there and usually has a neat story of the past.

I received an email from Jay yesterday saying . . . . . .

He was talking about the photo that we took before leaving Paradise on Sunday - of Paradise from a distance. 

"What a great picture from that distance. A good clear picture like that could sell the town and area to those wanting to get out of California, and not realizing that there are beautiful areas like that. I suggested to Dan H. that he get some like that and a web page and seek to sell Paradise.   Jay Anderson"

I would love to have a good picture of this great view - on the hill just before the Miller home.
If any one has a good camera with extra time, please send me a picture.

PARADISE - LITTLE TOWN ON THE PRAIRIE

Terry Hoopes '63, Millard Harrell, '59

I walked in the door and this nice looking man in a suit and tie grabbed me and said . . . "Oh Onnalee! I just love you."
I looked at Millard and grinned and then looked at the gentleman's tag.

"Terry Hoopes" 

I thought to myself  - "Ah!  This is Larry Hoopes brother. Is he a hoot too?" 
I appreciate his kind words very much.  He says that every morning he gets a cup of coffee and reads the blog.  Thank You, Terry!

 
 I would like to Thank Deb and her committee that made the name tags.  If the people were facing me when I took their picture I could read the names and years as I was trying to identify each photo. 

Deb (Bealby) Maupin '73, Karen (Lahar) Carney '73, Roger Pruter '78

A special Thank You to Karen (Hudnall) Jakub, Connie (Hudnall) Jahnke, Brad Thompson, Janette (Angel) Ross, Steve Bealby, Dan Hoisington, Terry Hoopes, Dorene (Reich) Chrisler, Angela (Krob) McNeal), Roger Pruter & Pat (Hoopes) Preston for the emails back and forth to identify some of the people that I could not see their name tags to be able to read them.

Ray and Warren were very busy talking.
Too busy to stop for a picture. 
Warren tried to take out time and look at the camera

but Ray just had too much to say to stop. 
I loved it!
