Pamela Parrent nee Camp

These are from her 2 e-mails form Wed. a.m.:
"I have the shingles and they hurt like hell"
"Left stomach and back"

This is from the last e-mail that I received from Pam about 7:30 p.m. Wed. eve.

"Well I am still at the office but not for long the pain pill is looking pretty good now….this is worse than when I broke my back… I have had them a week today and they still hurt as bad as the 1st day. They are square like blisters in small and large sizes …they look just like the pictures if you google them… I guess getting old is going to try to get the best of me but I think that the reason I got them is because of the stress and worry about my mom…she has Alzheimer's and is trying to convince everyone that she is not sick….. so as to how long they will last I do not know..... got to get back to work my phone is ringing."

I believe that she would like to hear from all of you.
Her e-mail address is: Pamela.Parrent@gmacfs.com .

This is from an e-mail received Thursday a.m.:
"Jackie Pogue checks on my mother every day for me … at least, I can count on that …
...got to get back to work..."

Scholarship/Reunion

It is time again to start planning for our annual scholarships. We have been generous the last 4 years and have given at least 3 scholarships per year. We have had success with our yard sale fundraiser, but have decided not to have one in the spring. The only other fund raiser that we have going is mug sales which will not pick up until the reunions this summer.
We are asking for contributions from class members this year so that we can continue helping graduating seniors of Piggott High School. Please send your contribution to Linda Wells, 14 CR 538, Greenway AR 72430 by April 15. We will decide who receives a scholarship on May 1 and will need to know how many we can give this year. Please consider giving generously.
We are planning an auction as a fund raiser during the reunion. Linda Wells has put together an AWESOME quilt that will be auctioned. We would like others to participate by donating items that can be auctioned. These items need to be brought to the tailgate party or given to a local classmate before that time. It is imperative that we have items that can be auctioned to raise scholarship monies.
The date of our reunion this year is Homecoming week end, October 8 -9. We are hoping to be able to participate in the Homecoming Parade before going to our Tailgate Party. Those of you who were there last year know that there was not enough time to visit with everyone. We will have an earlier starting time for the Tailgate Party this year!
We would like to have more classmates attending than 5 years ago. Please mark your calendars for October 8-9!

Easy tick removal

Apply a glob of liquid soap to a cotton ball. Cover the tick with the soap-soaked cotton ball and swab it for a few seconds (15-20). The tick will come out on its own and be stuck to the cotton ball when you lift it away.
