Riverview Class of 1964 Reunion Friday night

A friend mistakenly thought this was my class reunion, but when I found out about it, I said, "Hm, think I'll crash it---there are a lot of people in that class I'd like to see".

 The above photos include Joe Moore, his wife, Ed Will, Judy Gonzenbach, Bill and Sharon Jackson.  Below are members of my Girl Scout Troop:  Kathy Phinney, Annette Hampe, Karen Lederle, Judy, Morse, Judy Gonzenbach.  I forgot that Patti Carter was also at the reunion when I rounded everyone up. . . .

 My high school class was also well-represented.  I was not the only one crashing this mixer:  Gary Blase, Paul Comer, Vicki Anagnos, Patti Carter, George Forir, Ed Will and the Deavers were there.

 It was also great seeing Don Artz, Sybil Gibson, Pat Garret, Jane Ramsey, Dave Morton, Don Lueddeke, Ron Hopkins, John Nitchman.

We had a great time at Hendrick's BBQ which had the entire patio overlooking the KATY trail for us to use.  Earlier in the day some of us went strolling along the KATY trail---those photos will be later.

Tri Delta Gathering

The second Tri Delta Gathering in 2 months!  The last one had mostly friends who were younger than I was---this one was mostly friends who were. . . .ahead of me in school.  But this group included former roommates, mentors, pledge trainer, Big Sister and a lot of laughs.  People came from 4 states with at least one car from Cape.  Loved connecting and being with these ladies!  Those in attendance were (maiden names only):  Murph Masterson, Nancy Niehaus, Vicki Aufdenberg, Nancy Bray, Sue Bohnsack, Barb Renz, Vicky Altemeyer, Julie Feldmeier, Carolyn Patrick, Sharon Sievers, Jane Campbell, Linda Lee, Julie Evans, Lydia Bunch (she managed to avoid my photos---but trust me she looks just the same) and myself.

We've agreed we must do this more often---maybe even go to Cape!  Hope more can come the next time!

Girl Scout Reunion

Ruth, Joan, Charlotte, Betty, Kathy
Jaclyn, Carol, Pat, Jane, Carol, Jeanne, Kathy, Margie

Sunday after our high school reunion, our Girl Scout Troop 1390 met with our Girl Scout leader, Betty W. and one of our mothers.  Although our troop didn't start until we were in 6th grade, most of us stayed active until we graduated from high school.  

 We shared stories, caught up and shared old photos.  Although we live in Oklahoma, Kansas, Texas, Massachusetts, Missouri with many of us grandmothers of 6th graders now, we were transported back to the many adventures we had through Girl Scouts. 

 Betty was our leader who protected us and healed us on camping trips but she helped make us the women we are today.  Our mothers, reperesented by Joan's mother, helped Betty by driving, assisting with our badges, cookie sales.

One of our troop members wrote this tribute to Betty and Troup 1390

Jackie,

I cherish the time we had together and that Mrs. White made possible. My memories include Mrs. White putting spit and cigarette tobacco on bumble bee stings on my scalp when I interrupted a bumble nest in some long grass where we were pitching tents as I recall. Having lived in North Carolina, she must have applied her knowledge of tobacco!! 

I remember making stoves of large tin cans and tuna cans for the burners. I still think great idea:  parafin over rolled up corrugated cardboard in the tuna can that can be lit with a flick of a dry match, and the large can over it for a burner with some vents punched. 

Mr. and Mrs. Murphy teaching us folk dancing a real highlight and going to Kiel Auditorium with so many other Girl Scouts showed us early on what strength in gals there is. (Click here for more on this)

I just liked being able to get together with girls of all abilities and having fun together. I loved the pagentry of Awards Ceremonies and honoring our U.S. flag. It was not about who is cutest, has the best clothes, who is smartest, etc. Very liberating.

Thank you Mrs. White for making our Girl Scouting experience meaningful and fun.  Love, Joan
