THE GROUP WHO ATTENDED SCHOLARSHIP MEETING
The scholarship committee met on March 28. It was decided that the set amount for the scholarships would be $400 no matter how many were given each year. The applications were taken to the school and will picked up around April 28 so that they will be available for our next meeting on May 2. The names of the recipients will be given to the high school and Rick will try to make arrangements to present them at graduation on May 15. $200 was collected at Jim Hanna's memorial and we will be giving a one time scholarship in his name. Merita is interested in contributing to that scholarship to make it the same amount as the ones that we give from the class.
Also discussed was the 40th class reunion for 2010. Names of classmates were divided to those who were present to check on address/e-mail addresses so that reunion information can be sent as soon as a date has been set. If any of you have a change in information, please contact Marty @ 573-718-0055.
The class of '69 will be having their 40th reunion on Friday, July 3 at the Piggott Diner. We are hoping that they will invite us to sell mugs. Even if they do not, some of us are planning to "crash" it by just showing up. We will tell them that they will be more than welcome to do the same to us next year. They will be gathering about 4pm.

Update on Judy Smart
4/13/09
Information from Linda Wells.
I just spoke with Judy. She sounds good except she does sound a little weak...I think that can be expected considering what she has been through. She told me that she was going home Wednesday (4/14/09). She is looking forward to that since she has been in the hospital for 2 months. She said the place in Poplar Bluff that she is in now has been a real blessing to her, that she could not do anything when she got there and now she is up walking, talking and a lot of things that she was not able to do before. I asked her about the places in her head and she said they went in and repaired the one that burst. The other one is so tiny that they would do more harm to her trying to fix it than if they left it alone. They told her there was only a 5% chance that it would burst. She is expected to make a full recovery and said the doctors and nurses were really impressed that she had made such improvements in such a short time, that most who had this happen to them either did not survive or it took them a much longer time to get better. She asked that we keep her on our prayer list.

The trache has been removed from Judy's neck. She is able to walk around...she is walking to rehab and her memory is returning. She has a phone that we can call her and the number is 573-727-2322. This is a direct line to Judy's room.
