Dear Class of 68… Seems like I’ve missed way too many birthdays, and for that I’m sorry. So “HAPPY BIRTHDAY” to BD people in JAN, FEB, MAR, APRIL, and MAY. The older I get the more mind-boggling and laidback I’ve become.

Last month John bought me an ALEXA so I can have selective music in my studio. I must say… I love it! However, the other day Alexa would not turn off, no matter the tone of voice or how I said it or what distance I tried… it just would not turn off. So, I thought maybe John could figure it out…. Well, dummy me. I had the radio on.

Love & Blessing to you all…. Connie

Too funny Connie!  Love your sense of humor.

Martin,

Lissy Davidson  Rakestraw and her husband used to work with my husband at Honeywell. Her husband  has passed away, but I can't remember when. I think I have a copy of his obituary.  I don't remember where they were living.

Martin Libhart

I think most of you remember Howard Schmidt, a NHS teacher when we were there. Mr. Schmidt recently passed away. I am posting his obituary here.

Thanks, Martin, for posting the notice about Howard Schmidt. I credit one of Mr. Schmidt's math classes at Newton High for helping me make sense of algebra. He was a kind and patient teacher for whom I've always felt a lot of respect. I didn't realize he only taught at Newton for six years. Back then I think I assumed our teachers were just permanent fixtures that came along with the building.

Brenda Drake (Anderson)

Does anyone remember Mr. Schmidt from Sunset School?  What was his first name, please?

Martin Libhart

Brenda: it was Howard Scmidt.

“HAPPY BIRTHDAY” to all classmates that have turned a year younger in 2025.

I apologize for not sending you BD Blessings. I’m still trying to figure out if it’s due to laziness or just getting older. Most likely both. But whatever the reason, please know that when class websites post BD’s, it’s a wonderful opportunity to take a silent moment in prayer sending you blessings for health and that your “JOY“ may be complete.

As for myself I’m a June baby, and I spent my BD painting away in my studio.Then I started wondering why my phone hadn’t gone off once. So, I started looking for it, driving myself nut trying to figure out when was the last time I had it. My sweetie John (JD)  was out running around all day, so he was absolutely no help. Anyway, to make a long story shorter… I couldn’t find my phone because John had it in his pocket!  

Life is good!     Happy Belated Birthday to you all.

Railer Hugs

Happy Birthday Paula Graber!!!
