Anderson 3rd grade class, room 27, 1953
so, recently, i got an email from diana p, who now resides in california, asking if i can remember a play that we participated in from our 3rd grade class at anderson. actually, no, i didn't. however, she did, and she remembered the name of the play and everything! it was rip van winkle. further, she remembered the name and at least some of the words to a song she says that both she and i sang! to this day she knows how to sing it. she also remembered the parts she and i played in this play. wow, i can barely remember going to school that year. anyway, she asked if i had a class photo from that year, and after rummaging around in storage, i was able to find the photo. i have to give credit to my mother for organizing the photos, and keeping them in a way that it was easily located. i share the photo here, and invite other readers to look at it, and see if you can identify yourself, or others who are in it. make a comment if you recognize somebody. (mike c--aka mj) btw, i am 2nd from left in first standing row.

Kerry P McPherson 6/8/1943-8/13/2011
I attended the memorial service for Kerry this afternoon... It was the best ever, perfect for our friend Kerry! It was held here at the XJet Centennial Airport hanger. There were 200 seated and 100 more standing and began with an exciting flyby of 4 planes one breaking away to the heavens! Kerry's younger sister (by 14 years) the Reverend Marianne G McPherson gave opening comments and a prayer followed by the Navy Hymm. A long time friend, co worker and Marine, David Parvin did the Eulogy with good funny stories of Kerry and family. A bag piper played Scotland the Brave and son Tyler led family, friends and associates with sharing. It ended with a Marine Honor Guard presenting the flag and the piper playing Amazing Grace and the Marine Corps Hymm. Following a final flyover by a vintage WWII fighter circling and flying West into the sunset, food was served with a wee dram of Glenlivet for all... a sad but perfect celebration for our friend and classmate Kerry Patrick McPherson! ...Larry

I was asked by Sally Ragland Townsend to create the blog so that we could communicate with all of the class easily and share things of interest, including text and photos. I have asked Larry Bryant to be the blogmaster (administrator), and he has agreed to help take on the duties of looking over the blog to make sure all the posts are done in good taste, and adding his own thoughts to make it more informative and interesting. Sounds like we need another volunteer to help do this as well. Is anybody else interested? Mike Callahan (mj)
