Hobbies: Golf, Photography, and Bridge

Grade School: Ashland

Bio: My wife, Betty Renner (Beaumont Class of June 1955) and I were married in May of 1956,

 while I was in the Navy. We have two daughters. The oldest, Glinda Gail is an attorney in New

 York,and has 4 children. The younger, Gloria Gaye is an RN in South Carolina, and has no

 children. I always thought G.G.G. would look great on luggage. I traded the Navy for a year at

 Washington University,and then went to work for Metropolitan Life in 1958. We left St. Louis

 in 63 to manage the Met.office in Fargo ND, and then on to Rapid City SD in 1967.

We finally made it back to normal weather when in 1970, I was appointed district manager

 in Kansas City.

I retired in 1983, and we moved to Lexington South Carolina, to be closer to Betty's mom.

 In Lexington Betty worked for the University of South Carolina Admissions Department and

retired in 1997, when we moved to Florida. We live in a retirement community of about 1000

homes 20 miles south of Ocala. I still play golf, but not nearly as well as 50 years ago.

The photography has been a joy. I started with nature photography on our acreage in South

 Carolina, and now enjoy taking pictures on cruises and other travels. Digital has been a

 wonderful advance, allowing me to take over 1000 pictures on a recent trip to Hawaii. I am

 now a much better photographer than golfer. My bridge playing is somewhere in the middle.

I am so happy that I stumbled onto the MOB website this week, and found out about the

 reunion, as I have not seen a classmate since the 20 year get together in 1974.

Dearest Friends;          

            Time has passed all too quickly and your reunion date is here at hand. I felt that although there are too many “Unexpecteds” that prevent my joining you on this wonderful weekend I just had to say hello and share with you in thought and memories. I’m sorry that this just isn’t the time for me to travel so far from home.

            Six months ago I grew weary of the “paper chase" and completed CNA training. I passed all my exams and am now licensed in Wyoming, Montana and Oregon, so, I will see where my path leads me. This is indeed challenging and rewarding work. I must say, there are days when I wonder “why am I here” but there is always that smile, hug or “thank you” that answers the question. I hope to step into Medical, Surgical and/or Pediatrics. Hopefully, I can also acquire my LPN and/or RN in the next year or two.

            As People grow older, some go fishing, others go searching for those things they have always wanted to do. Age is really just a number. I have to remind myself of that when fatigue and aches and pains are very apparent after four or five days of working my shift.         

            In addition to time constraints with my position, our son, Chris started dialysis treatments in Billings, Montana last week and will continue three times a week here in Cody. He is on a donor list and hopefully a Kidney will become available in the near future. In the meantime, we have our prayers and faith to carry us through.

            In recalling those wonderful years we shared and the friendships we made and still have, it is fun to remember how we spent so much time thinking about:

1.         Pony Tails

2.                  DA’S (Duck’s ass) haircuts.

3.                  Flat Tops.

4.                  Saddle shoes (Spaulding’s, of course)

5.                  White Buck shoes and bunny bags for buff-ups.

6.                  Mr. “B” shirts

7.                  Threadneedles' (shoes)

8.                  Crinoline Petticoats (using our mothers iron with wax paper to crisp or stiffen them up.

9.                  Pixie Pink lipstick.

10.              Flowers for our blouse collars.

11.              When we stopped wearing Bobby Sox.

12.              Parkmoor.

13.              Melrose Pizzeria (after football games.)

14.              Jack Keith a President of the “Senior Birdmen’s Club”. “We always fly for what is right”. (Don’t forget the dead sparrow Jack brought to the stadium after a football game. we formed a circle around the bird, to pay homage, I guess, and sang our song. Were we nuts? No, just having pure fun.)

15.              Lee Thomas totally disrupting Miss Hudler’s Psychology class by finding a way to cough or sneeze and say “Hey Miss Hudler” at the same time and when Miss Hudler answered, Lee would say, “Who Me?”, I didn’t say a word I just “coughed”.

Those were golden days with tremendous fun and the pure joy of being together. We made memories that will last a lifetime, memories that we can recall and lean on when things get a little hard to deal with.

Have a super weekend!!! Blow a kiss to dear old Beaumont for me, I will surely be there with you in thought. Hopefully, and God willing, we can do this again in (maybe) 5 years, if we are all walking and have our wits about us.

            Keep well and happy and know that I send my sincere thanks to all of you for those wonderful years we shared and the memories we made. They are tucked in a special corner of my heart.

            With Kindest and Warmest Regards, Annette McClain ( and Bruce in spirit.)
