Got a great photo from Jess Searle, who was rummaging around in an old box. He found a circa. 1955 photo of the St. Marks kindergarten class, taught by Tom Townsend's mother. It is now a resident of the "Where we come from" page on the www.reitz67.com website. It even has the names listed. It was old and faded but I did the best I could to bring the color close to what it used to be.
We were wandering around in Lowe's the other day trying to decide how to most economically redo the new rent house (Jess asked us whether we had ambitions to be the new slumlords of the Westside.) Not quite, but then again, with CD rates as they are, real estate is somewhat more appealing. That's why they call it Real. At our age, there is very little ambition left. Linda says speak for yourself. Anyway, we ran into Cecilia Dillworth, who has worked at Lowe's quite some time. I just didn't know she was a classmate. Some of you may remember her from your memory's dimly lit West Terrace days. She moved away for a while, made it to Reitz freshman year and then went to school somewhere else. Linda got her a copy of the West Terrace 5th grade class photo in which she was a part and some other photos from the 44th. Linda says it was a touching moment. Needless to say, she extended an invitation to Cecilia (you may remember her as Doodles) to attend the 45th, in the spirit of inclusion.
And speaking of inclusion, it seems that more and more people are wanting to get included in the Orange Beach Condo Drawing at the rate of about $200 a week now. The drawing is set for the beginning of August so there's still plenty of time to get your chances, but there are always complications in our lives, grandkids that need shuttling around town and errands that can't wait or things that just pop up to complicate things, so don't wait too long. Paid chances are the only ones that will be included in the drawing. Don't be the person that wanted in and didn't get their ticket money into the pot soon enough.
