In the past week, finally, one lady stepped up and said she was beginning to prepare for our class reunion, seems no one else is. I said I am happy to help. Now I have called many telephone numbers.
I am finding my attitude on life is better than most. Also, I am finding classmates who are too ill or have given up on life. What is wrong with just one time getting out for one dinner with people in many cases that you have not seen since 1963?
It is a sales job I am beginning to see, to convince some of them to change their mind and come to the reunion. And I am enjoying it.
I was also given a list of those who are no longer with us. People who were in the band with me, in typing class with me, and are no more! Some even passed away many years ago! And then also Natellia called me the day after she said she was beginning to prepare for the reunion and said: "Mike Murrell passed yesterday." And I am greatly blessed to still be here! IMAGINE That Quickly another one is GONE!
Folks! Get everything you can out of every day you are here on this earth, and help everyone you want to help because today could be your last day.
I learned that a close friend was in the Army, and killed in Viet Nam, serving just a few miles from where I was on a Navy Destroyer off the coast!
I hope your day is as great as mine
