In Memoriam

In tribute to the members of The Class of '58 who are no longer with us we offer the following:
 

I know of a man who stood to speak

At the funeral of a friend.

He referred to the dates on his tombstone

From the beginning to the end.

 

 

He noted that first came his date of birth

And spoke the following date with tears.

But he said what mattered most of all

Was the dash between the years. 

 

 

For that dash represents all the time

That he spent alive on earth.

And now only those who loved him

Know what that little line is worth.

 

 

For it matters not how much we own�

The cars�the house�the cash.

What matters is how we live and love

And how we spend our dash.

 

 

So think about this long and hard�

Are there things you�d like to change?

For you never know how much time is left

That can still be rearranged.

 

 

If we could just slow down enough

To consider what�s true and real.

And always try to understand

The way other people feel.

 

 

And be less quick to anger

And show appreciation more.

And love the people in our lives

Like we�ve never loved before.

 

 

If we treat each other with respect,

And more often wear a smile.

Remembering that this special dash

May last only a little while.

 

 

So when your eulogy�s being read

With your life�s actions to rehash�

Would you be proud of the things they say

About how you spent your dash?

 

 

Those classmates who are no longer with us will be greatly missed.  We are thankful that we had the opportunity to know them and share part of life's great adventures with them.  Even though they are no longer with us physically, they will always remain an integral part of our group and remain in our thoughts and prayers.

58 IS GREAT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

We have just completed another wonderful weekend with the greatest class in the world at our 5lst high school reunion. It was awesome. Those of you that don't come when you could, are just missing a wonderful time.

Friday night saw about 50 of us at Kitty Guy McAleer's beautiful home on Dog River. We had Dew Drop Inn hot dogs and hamburgers, with homemade slaw courtesy of the Langan's and baked beans, from the Wilton's. Kay and Kitty supplied great ice cream. We had all the booze, beer, wine and soft drinks we could consume and just enjoyed everyone's company as we tried to forget it was 99 degrees.

Saturday we all attended 4 p.m. Mass at St. Matthew's and Saturday night the Wilton's again outdid themselves with rib eye steaks, and chicken breasts, baked potato casserole, salad and banana pudding. We were at the Knights of Columbus with a DJ and again all the liquids of all kinds that we could enjoy. Fun, fun, fun was enjoyed by 78 of us McGill, Toolen, Mercy alums.

Sunday 16 of us went for a buffet brunch at Charlie's son, Charlie, Jr. at his new restaurant on Gunn Road, the Ranchhouse. Wow, more great food, filet mignon, chicken, shrimp,crab, oysters vegetables galore. Many thanks to Pat and Cindy Langan for chairing another first class reunion. The Committee again outdid themselves from start to finish. Without a doubt, we are the greatest class Mobile has ever seen or will ever see. I would give anything if I could talk all of you that live in the area to come join us. it is so much fun seeing everyone and remembering all our fun times in high school.

If you missed this one, never fear, we will continue to party each year. We decided at the 45th that we would meet each year until there is no one else left. I plan on being the last one standing!!!!!!

Love to all, Wendy

58 IS GREAT!!!!!!!!!!!!
