Ah, for most of us turning sixty-five Medicare now for goodness sakes alive A Card to keep us healthy as can be While now all can draw Social Security! We are getting better day by day, As God continues to mold our clay. While shaping our heart and soul Making memories that won’t grow old! The Sheffield High School Class of 1956 held their forty-seventh reunion on Friday evening. The event was a wonderful potluck supper at the Sheffield Recreation Center. Ron Pace opened the celebration with prayer. Especially, poignant was the remembrance of those who have passed on as well as those who are now struggling with serious illnesses. Sandra Morris was able to get everyone started to help themselves to the spread of dishes that would have done a Thanksgiving dinner proud! The food was delightful with the guys and dolls showing off their favorite recipes! There was not enough room on the plate to take even a little portion of each dish of the main course. And the desserts were even more fantastic! Since everyone brought something, it was impossible to keep track of who brought what, but for sure everyone went off their diets for the evening. Seventeen classmates enjoyed recalling adventures and stories of those bygone school days. Also, there was much sharing of refreshing recent fun events with children and grandchildren! One of the interesting things that about half the attendees are still working. The joy and pleasure that get out of their work was evident. Of course some of them are holding jobs that have no monetary reward. Some are volunteering in their local schools for just the pleasure of helping children learn. Other volunteer jobs are helping the elderly with their daily tasks and providing them with entertainment. John Collins put his wife Betty to work handing out raffle tickets for door prizes. Turned out that everyone was a winner. John also gave out prizes for various categories. Bobbie Caudill got the prize for living the closest to the Recreation Center and Buck Locke for being the farthest away. John enjoyed being the Master of Ceremonies with lots of jokes about folks lots older than us! Sandra announced that the next major reunion will be our fiftieth in 2006. Planning is underway for what will be a milestone event! By Buck Locke
