Comments

I have three grand children from my daughters. My precious grandson who just turned three, is my joy. His name is Ayden Oliver! I retired after thirty-six years of working in the education field as: teacher; building assistant for student affairs/Skiles Junior High; assistant principal/Skiles Junior High; principal, professional development coordinator; administrative leadership support team member, and currently as an educational consultant. I have always valued working with youngsters, and anyone who is seemingly in need of improvement or assistance. I believe that has been my passion or calling.

School Story

I have no specific stories, I have many precious memories of academic, humanistic, and athletic stories that I relish. Persons such as Roy Houston, Joe Martin, Bill Tomlinson, Steve Jesser, and so many others that I can't enumerate upon. I was surrounded by many friends and acquaintances who helped to mold my life and character. Those of you who are wondering why you don't see your names, you were quite instrumental in my life. I thank you for whatever part you played. Thank you for the fun, good, and not so good times. You have to classify your role, not me.

Dear Classmates,

To all of you who have shared your sentiments and compliments regarding this announcement, I am indeed appreciative. My contacts with each of you and the wider community have helped me to achieve this accomplishment. I am humbly grateful. It takes a village to be recognized and appreciated. I did not do this alone. When I receive further details regarding the ceremony, I will share it.

With gratitude and love,

Ollie/Oliver

Dear Bobbie,

Happy blessed birthday greetings to a classy person. I hope you have many more joyful occasions to laugh and enjoy the beauties of life. You have given your time and efforts to help others, now try to enjoy time for yourself and your family. All the best to Lester and the remaining members of your family. I have not seen Barbara Putta since the three of us spoke on the telephone. I hear that she is doing well.

Dear Lynn,

Happy birthday to a wonderful person. I know this is an early greeting but I didn't want to forget to acknowledge your precious birthday. I miss seeing you as we gathered during our 50th class reunion preparation. However, it is good communicating with you for any reason. I hope you are doing well and enjoying life. All the best to you and your husband. Happy New Year!

Blessings and appreciation!
