Go in peace and remember you are not forgotten while I am still on patrol.
After They Are Gone
When someone we love passes away, We ache, but we go on; Our dear departed would want us to heal, After they are gone.
Grief is a normal way to mend The anguish and pain in our hearts; We need time to remember and time to mourn, Before the recovery starts.
Let's draw together to recuperate, As we go through this period of sorrow; Let's help each other, with tender care To find a brighter tomorrow.

Friendship's Eternal Flame
Although we lost some dear friends along the way, on balance, the Class of 1966 seems to have weathered the 50+ years since graduation pretty well.
Unlike the classes that came before or after us, our class seems to have an unspoken bond, a flame of friendship that glows warmly across the decades, a light that refuses to go out. No matter what happens to the world around us, as long its warming glow remains in our hearts, we know we will never fail —because we have each other!
Our class sees its periodic reunions as more than just a time capsule. They also measure our dreams, how well we have weathered Life’s Journey thus far, and they embold us to new challenges in the future. In short, reunions both reaffirm and renew us. Stay safe, everyone, and God willing, we’ll see you again soon.
Things That Never Die
The pure, the bright, the beautiful That stirred our hearts in youth, The impulses to wordless prayer, The streams of love and truth, The longing after something lost, The spirit's yearning cry, The striving after better hopes- These things can never die.
The timid hand stretched forth to aid A brother in his need; A kindly word in grief's dark hour That proves a friend indeed; The plea for mercy softly breathed, When justice threatens high, The sorrow of a contrite heart- These things shall never die.
Previous Page
Let nothing pass, for every hand Must find some work to do, Lose not a chance to waken love- Be firm and just and true. So shall a light that cannot fade Beam on thee from on high, And angel voices say to thee- "These things shall never die."
...Charles Dickens
