I feel like after reading all the latest posts that I must chime in.  First of all, Jimmie & I have both had the vaccine.  Second, Jimmie & I both have had the virus,,last September, and we found out all of this by going to our local hospital, being tested by a Dr. and when proven positive, prescribed IVERMECTIN - the human version that won a Nobel prize in 2015.  No we didn't take the animal buy it off of Amazon version!  We both ended up with very very light cases of COVID-19.  I wouldn't dream of taking the non prescribed version.  Ivermectin has been used for years in other countries and is  very inexpensive.  I hate to see it get such a bad rap when it helped us so very much.  There, I've had my say.

Thanks James for update albeit bad.  So far, I personally know 3 SOCites who have died from Covid. None of the 3 had been vaccinated. 1 from SOC '66, 1 from '64 and 1 from '67.  Breaks my heart because it didn't have to happen.  I'm still praying Glenn makes it. 

Heck, who am I kidding . . .  I pray each night that Don and I and our families all make it thru.  Getting harder each month.

 Paul, I fully agree with you. How insane is it that we have a group of people who refuse to be vaccinated saying they don't know what's in the vaccine or don't trust the government.  Yet, they will buy animal medicine used to de-worm horses & cows and take that!!  Lots of calls to Poison Control.

I don't blame you for being upset and frustrated, I am too!  Too many people taking a stance that "Nobody is gonna tell me what to do" and many are dying due to their misguided decisions.  We could have gotten this pandemic under control but too many arrogant and Me First people aren't participating and it just keeps on coming and mutating.  I'm tired and I'm really frustrated at the whole thing.  What a way to spend our senior years.

I hope I am “preaching to the choir,” but going through the cancer battle that I am (which also makes me immunocompromised) I feel I deserve to be heard. If you are someone, or know someone, who refuses to get the vaccine, tell them it is not all about THEM. Just ask the parents of the kids in California whose teacher infected 22 out of 24 of the kids with Covid. Or the overworked ICU staffs who are watching people die every day and 90+% of those are not vaccinated. Or the people who serve the public who cannot work for 10 days because a client/customer exposed them to Covid. As a 40 year Air Force member I can tell you this is not the America I served for. The one I served for is filled with people who care about each other and admit it is not all about ME and my RIGHTS. And who do not give a de-worming medicine for animals credence over a vaccine that has been given to millions. If you are thinking this must be a “hot button”issue for me you would be right. But this has gone too far for too long. 😡

James, Does he have Covid?  Because he's being given the REDEMSIVIR treatment made me think he has Covid.  This is another blow to the class of '67.  Folks, you can't be too careful.  It's striking SOCites all around us.  Will send prayers for Glen.  Thank you James.

Just copied this off of FBook about Glen Averitte. Class of ‘67.
Glen is in Mansfield methodist hospital room B-3081 ....Glen is being sedated with PRECEDEX Because each time he comes to he goes into a full blown panic attack which has exacerbated his decline. His last REDEMSIVIR treatment was yesterday. Glen is in need of a miracle so all of his friends and family need to get on their knees and pray pray hard he needs some miracle in Jesus name

Toni - Thanks for the info on Bob Snyder's passing on 9-2.  I missed his obit in the paper. So many of our teachers weren't much more than 10-12 yrs older than we were in our Jr & Sr yrs.   I guess at that time they seems old?! 

Lunch was great, enjoyed it very much!  Also, thanks so much for the nice magazines for my MIL, I really appreciate it!  She will love them.

Larry, Bill Jonas died in May but just now having a memorial for him. Buddy told us of his passing on FB.  I saw the nice obit Sunday.  Bill is one of several the class of '67 has lost in the last few years.  You may also have known Mike Logan, he golfed with the group too.  He passed away in March.  67 is going thru a rough patch of loosing classmates recently and it's difficult.  Our class went thru that a few years ago and it really hurts to lose good friends.  Hope you & Ramona are doing OK as we haven't heard from you lately.

As if there were not enough bad news, there was obit in this morning's DMN for Bill Jonas, class of 1967.  Does anyone else have any memories of him?  I know he loved to play golf.

Not sure who noticed but Bob Snyder (Boys PE teacher) passed away on September. I never thought he was as young as he was but he was only 83 at the time of his death. Somehow, that is not sounding that old! How many teachers does that make now, Sandy?

Remembering 9/11. I got a call from John telling me to turn on the tv in the conference room. We were watching the first Tower up in flame and discussing what could have gone wrong to cause that plane to crash into the WTC. Then, before our eyes, we witnessed the second plane go into the second Tower. We both said at the same time, “this is a terroristic attack”! The rest is history. My employer was at home packing to leave on a flight that day to NYC for a weeklong vacation with law school friends. She argued with me that this wouldn’t prevent her flight!! Needless to say, that vaca was cancelled. Remembering all who perished and thinking of all their families and friends left to mourn. We will always remember.💔

Today is 20 yrs since the attack on the United States. I'm not going to post any of those pics, there's more than enough on TV & FB.  I know each of you will remember exactly where you were and what you were doing when you heard the news and watched it unfold on TV. God Bless America & may we always remember those who lost their lives on 9-11.

Me: I was at Love Field gate 13 waiting for a 9:05 am flight to Tulsa.  At 8:40 they hadn't started board but lots of people were gathered at the TV on the wall.  It took a few minutes to soak in what was happening.  Then the announcement  .  .  .  All aircraft has been grounded due to a national emergency! No flights anywhere will take off today and until further notice.  Then she said Go Home and turn on your TVs.  There are no words to describe the pit in my stomach & the fear that was rising.  Where were you???

Don and Jack, thanks for the birthday wishes.
Sandy, my (down Kildare Avenue on the next block back in our good ol’ school days) good friend, thank you too! I hope all is well with you and Don. Barbara and I look forward to seeing you guys again some day if and when we have another “mini”. Thanks too, for keeping all our classmates together as much as possible since ‘66.
