Comments:

I married Eddy two days after our high school graduation and we were off traveling with the Navy until 1972. We lived several places in New Mexico moving back to Roswell in 1983.
I worked at ENMU-Roswell as a secretary and started college classes, receiving an AAS Degree before moving to Rio Rancho in 2003. I worked at UNM for a year and began working on my bachelor's degree. After five years in Rio Rancho, we decided to move to Kansas where Jenny and her husband live. Eddy taught in two small towns there and was the Principal at a Christian school before retiring.
We "retired" from the educational field in 2014, and moved to Texas in 2016. Six of our grands are here, our first great-grand is here and our second oldest grand is getting married in December. All of us (25 for now) get together at either Thanksgiving or Christmas and anytime during the year that we can. We have a crazy few days together, take a family picture and try to get to the beach

School Story:

I was an office aide my senior year and was able to "help out" (meaning I would make sure I "called" to verify an absence) when one of my group (Molly, Oretta, Connie, Margie) took a detour from school. But, one time when three of us went on an afternoon field trip with some guys we knew, we were confronted by Molly's mom when we got back to her house (seems the school called) and it was a very long, silent trip taking me home. I was the only one who didn't get a three day suspension. My mom would always vouch for me, unlike me with my own kids; I was really mean!!!

Happy Birthday, Madge! I like your couple picture! You look very dapper. Hope you and Eddy have a wonderful celebration on your special day. Though we all may wish 2020 would end, since it's been such a "hard year', we should be grateful to God for how He's brought each of us through. Certainly we have all had 'hard years before. The best words I have heard from anyone are those of the Lord God who said to Joshua: "Fear not for I am with you" (Joshua 1:7-10) Add to that John 14:1-3 and we can see that confidence is not based on what we have or possess but in whom we trust. Anyway, I am probably "preaching to the choir". You and Eddy take care, stay safe and KLUJICS!

We were in 10th grade when introduced by mutual friends and started "dating", "going steady'......he would let me take his black 1957 Chevy home sometimes while he was at work. He did not always know, until his friends told him, that sometimes I would drag Main and race, well, not really, but go real fast and not always in the right gear. He did love that car! One time when I drove it, I went over the railroad tracks on 5th street and heard a loud noise. I looked back and saw something laying in the street, but wasn't sure what it was. Come to find out, it was the glass pack muffler that belonged to Tommy King that he had put on his car and it was gone. Oops. I did learn how to drive a stick shift as he and Tommy had put in a four on the floor (always working on their cars) and I actually drove it to take my test to get my license. However, I wasn't able to parallel park, and I think the guy riding with me just passed me anyway.

We had been in touch on Facebook and sorry to hear of his passing.
