Just read the [March 15, 2022] SPHS news letter and thank you for all the
updates and your commitment to keeping us united !!
My Update: �New Life at 85�! December 1st [2021] I sold my home in
Treasure Island which we built 50 years ago and where my three children were
raised. Due to health reasons I moved to [Fort Collins] Colorado to be near
by daughter and her husband. She found a beautiful independent living
apartment for me three miles from her which accepted my golden retriever,
provides daily meals, numerous activities, and a friendly homey atmosphere.
Health much improved. I miss my family and
friends in St.Pete but know our Lord knows best and has a plan for us to
prosper no matter the age !!! GOD IS GOOD.

I am so frustrated; I sing in a performance group here in Clermont. Our big concert is the same Sat. night [as the reunion]. I'm lead alto and can't miss. Please say hi to everyone. Still hanging in there. I'm going to try to make one of the luncheons in the coming months. Hope the reunion goes well. Is it possible to get a list of all who come ? Maybe addresses too? I'll be sending a donation to help with some of the costs. Have fun for me! (4/1/2014)

Wanted to update you on Fred's & Hope's health situations. First, I want to
thank you all so much for your wonderful prayer support and concerns through
these difficult times.
Fred is now at home with Hospice support. March was a rough month for
him. On 2/24 he was admitted to St. Anthony's Hosp. with pneumonia &
tachycardia. Five days later he was discharged to North Rehab, unable to
stand, walk or feed himself. On 3/24 he was discharged home with assistance
from Hospice, able to walk and eat by himself!
Two days later, returned to ER with low blood sugar & additional problems.
He came home the next day with additional care burdens, but he's HOME!
Our precious great-granddaughter, Joanna Hope Scott
was born 3/5, weighing 9#3oz and had Craniosynostosis
(premature closure of skull sutures). This beautiful little girl was taken
to surgery at Johns Hopkins hospital on 3/31 (3 1/2 weeks old) to have the
sutures released.
While usually done between 2 & 3 months of age, Hope's
condition was quite severe so they proceeded. Hope now holds the title of
youngest patient to have this surgery. Previously a 4 week old baby in Spain
was the youngest.
This condition is rare, occurring in about 1 in 100,000
births.
As you can see, March was quite eventful for our family. We thank God for
our Blessings and our dear family &
friends for their loving support. May God continue to
Bless us all and to Him is the Glory.
Be well, continue to care and know that you are special!
Love, Myrt

"Just
wanted to let you know that I will not be attending this year. My
health has gone down hill and I don't want to get too far away from my
doctors. I am on the mend and hope I can make it next year. HAVE FUN
"Hope, and know it will be a wonderful reunion.
Unfortunately FSU graduation is that weekend and I have a grandson
graduating! So I will miss it this year. Sad when things happened at the
same time! Enjoy it!"
Did not remember if I had sent you a letter about the reunion. Janet and I are going on a trip to England and Scotland with our Church group, leaving May 6. Janet has relatives in Scotland we are going to visit. Hope we can make the next one. Please say "hello "to everyone for us. Warren Bicker (3/31/2014)
Bill Warner e-mailed this (4/29/2014) : I think I have been procrastinating sending this email, but I was hoping to try and make the reunion this time. Alas, we have a wedding we must clean up for at church this Saturday. My wife and I have a small cleaning company to bring in extra income and we can't always dictate the schedule. Please relay my love and blessings to all the old gang. I'll be thinking of you all... My Facebook page, I believe, is pretty up to date and my profile picture is only 6 mo. old of Myrna and me. Let anyone who is willing to keep in touch go to my page and send a friend request. Anyway, may our 60th be filled with happiness & success.
