Class Of 1957 "54 Years"!




Wow what a class reunion that was held this week end. I believe everything went as it was planned. Our celebration started on Friday after noon as we all met for lunch at The Seafood Shack. (25)




Our next outing was for breakfast on the beach at The Gulf Drive Cafe. It was a beautiful morning and we just had a ball. As you can see we took a group picture after we filled our bellies. We had about 30 people for breakfast it was really great.



That evening we all met at the Bradenton Country Club for supper. We did not have a program planned but it was a great night. You could feel all of the love in that room. I am totally convinced that there is not another group that shows as much love towards each other as we do. It was such a pleasure to see Mrs. Parrish, Oliver and Silver we are so lucky to still have those friends still with us. George Cajoleas and Bill Aldridge were both in attendance. These are two friends that we all have been praying for and will continue to pray for....God Bless both of them. I dedicate this Bible verse to them both. “As you do not know the path of the wind, or how the body is formed in a mother’s womb, so you cannot understand the work of God, the Maker of all things.” (Ecclesiastes 11:5 )



I have taken so many pictures that I am going to try and put it on a slide show. You may have to click on it twice to make the picture bigger. Should you want a specific picture or pictures sent to you in a jpeg format I will try. Please give me a real good description and please give me your email address (DUH). Gene Page will be sending me pictures that he took also. I will add them to the slide show about the first of June so come back for another look.




GOD BLESS all of you may the Lord keep the wind beneath your wings and send you back next year for our 55th.




'For Christ also suffered once for sins, the just for the unjust, that He might bring us to God' (I Peter 3:18). Jesus paid the price for your sin. The apostle Paul said, 'the life which I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave Himself for me' (Galatians 2:20).

    Mr. Gallo-
    Mom told me where to find the pics from the reunion this weekend and they are SO GOOD! Dad is so funny in the pics at the Club, but mom looks great in every pic(of course-you got her good side....hee!)
    It is good to see Mrs. Parrish and Jo Strickland(had Mrs. Parris and Jo is Donna Jo's mom) in the pics. What a fun time!
    Anyway, say hey to your wife and, of course, Sandy and Darenda!
    Love,

He is Growing up too Fast!

Wow, as he ever grown up. and too fast. Seems like yesterday that Tyler was willing and able to sit in our laps. Makes you want to cry.... The picture of the tree will be posted after lunch...sorry. Here is the last look that you get of this Stately Oak Tree. It has been in my back yard since 1985. It has been the support of our grand kids little bodies as they swung in their real early years. Luke still swings on it occasionally but that will end. I am a little sorry about it but reality has set in. This is the tree that hangs over our home and keeps me very busy on the roof during falling leaf season. Also it keeps me trimming limbs that concern me about falling on my roof. And Hurricanes, we won’t go there but it has concerned me when I see the news and pictures of Oak trees that have fallen on homes. It also has been a big help in keeping our home from getting too hot during the summer heat days. But given the fact that I am getting older and also should something happen to me Pat...

WoW... what a weekend!

Pat and I flew to Pittsburgh last Friday to see Manatee play football. we also took in a couple of Pittsburgh baseball games. I can't say much for the Pirates but the Hurricanes were great. We were on the same plane as the team, it was fun. Friday night we were invited to a private box to watch the baseball game. It was a great way to see the game. A lot of food and many friends to visit with. As you can see we also had a big desert cart. I made a mistake and ate a big piece of carrot cake and the next my sugar crashed about noon, but it was worth it. Saturday morning Pat and I walked down to the Rib Fest that was down at the Steelers stadium. They also had a marathon with 6,000 people running in it, yes 6,000. I tried to take some photos of the first people coming into the stadium. I don't think they turned out to well. We met some friends for lunch at Jerome Bettis's sports bar. We went there to watch the Gator game. Really did not have much to watch as they reall...

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year 2012

Merry Christmas to all my friends and family   After what has happened in Newtown, Conn it is with a heavy heart that I enter the new year coming in. I just can not imagine how the parents and families feel, it just breaks my heart.   I sit an wonder what can we do to prevent this from occurring again. I can not come up with any logical ideas other than prayer. We must, must pray that our Lord provides us with a solution. We must pray that our leaders in this country help, some how. We must cuddle our children and grandchildren each day and show the our love and Gods love.   Prayer must be put back in the schools, in some families this may be the only place Gods name will be mentioned. There is no doubt in my mind that the devil is creating these issues. We must pray that all our children and parents let God into their hearts to guide and direct them. Jesus can and will help if we let him into our hearts and lives.   I pray that Gods love will be in ...
