CITY WIDE YARD SALE
Due to lack of interest and items to sell, we will not be participating in the City Wide Yard Sale in April. We plan to collect more items and have our annual fall yard sale, probably in October. This will give those of you who live out of town enough time to bring items home during the summer. You can contact Veda,598-2525 Freddie, 598-7845 or Francine, 634-6002 to store those items in our storage unit. It would be great if they are priced for a yard sale (if using masking tape on clothes, please put the prices on tags as masking tape will leave a residue if it gets as hot as it does in the storage unit in the summer!) If they are not priced, please let the person who helps you know so that we can get them priced before the yard sale.
We will have enough money in our scholarship fund to give scholarships this year. We will be having a meeting on March 28 to discuss scholarships and the next reunion. If you have suggestions for either, please contact Marty, 573-718-0055. We will set the date of the reunion as soon as we get a football schedule for 2010 so we can have a tailgate party before the home game. (starting earlier than we did in 2005!) Plan now to take some time off in October 2010 so that you can participate in all the activities that will be planned!
It has been great to keep in touch with a lot of you and have as many gatherings as we have had during the past 5 years. We are hoping that we can get class members who did not attend the 35th reunion interested in attending the 40th (especially those who live locally!)

UPDATE ON JUDY HOWARD SMART
Linda Wells writes:
Just thought I would share with you what I was told this morning at church from Susan Howard Wells concerning Judy Howard Smart. She reports that the Drs. are pleased with Judy's progress. They have moved the vent from her mouth to her throat (trachea)and the feeding tube from her nose to her stomach with the hopes that she will be more comfortable. Judy is able to move her hands, blink and do other motions in response to the caregivers and family. The other place on Judy's brain is not bleeding so the Drs. are not going to do anything about it for the time being. She does have pneumonia due to the fact they are unable to get her up and move her but the Drs. think they can over come this obstacle. Her blood sugar has gotten out of control due to the liquids they are giving her but they are working on that as well. Susan says the Drs. have high hopes for Judy. We all need to keep her in our hearts and prayers. Her address is as follows:
Judy Smart
St. Louis University Hospital
Room # ICU 533
3635 Vista
St. Louis, MO 63110

Judy Howard Smart
3/5/09
Judy had surgery yesterday and they were going to try to take her off the vent today. They say she is doing well and can follow commands. The family did not know about Judy's speech or how she was affected from the surgery. There is another spot on Judy's brain but the Dr chose not to do anything to it at this time.
Judy Howard Smart had an anerysm last week and is in a hospital in St. Louis. Her family came back home Sunday at the insistence of her doctor who says she needs to be quiet and they can't visit her right now. Apparently she and Ivan were at Wal-Mart where they had picked up her new glasses and she went to the bathroom before they were going to leave for home. Another woman came running out of the bathroom saying Judy was sick. The anerysm caused her to fall. The hospital in Poplar Bluff transferred her by helicopter to St.Louis. The doctor in St.Louis thinks she will be OK but it will take time.Debby Haywood (Judy's cousin) is the one who gave me this information. Linda Ort
I just heard that Judy suffered an anurism at PB walmart and that it will be at least 10 days before they can do surgery. I also heard she was air lifted to Cape.

As soon as more information is received it will be posted.
Thanks to the class members who keep us informed about other class members! Mike Howell called to give information as well and he says he is doing fine after his surgery.

Ice Storm '09 in Piggott AR
For our classmates that are out of the area here's a few pics of what it looks like. These were taken after the first night, it got worse after the second. Officials say that it could be 4-6 weeks until outside power will be supplied back to here. We are fortunate that Piggott forefathers had the sight to preserve our local power plant and keep it updated. It is anticipated that almost all residences will have power in the next 2-3 days supplied by our local power plant. If any of you have relatives that needs something that Linda or I can do here are our cell numbers. Fred's 870-598-7845 Linda's 870-598-7846
