Reggie, Happy Birthday to a great guy. Everyone in the Class of '57 wish you a happy birthday and a great life ahead. We that remain are a very fortunate group of people. I sincerely hope this message finds you and your family in good health - and happy.

John, I noticed that last year I was a day or two late in saying Happy Birthday - so I am going to be a day or two early this year (I have some medical appointments the next two days and will be away from my computer). It was good to see you last week in spite of it being at Esther's funeral. However, you sure are looking well and we are all happy about that. Thanks for your help when my legs gave way to the spinal stenosis. Best wishes always to you and your family. Bill Forbes and I are planning some mini-reunions in the future and hope you will be able to join us. It was really nice to see so many of our classmates turn out for Esther's service. She was truly one of the nicest people on earth. Again, best wishes, David

There are some people that we encounter in life that we somehow think of as invincible. I first met Esther Adams when I attended Sunday School at First Presbyterian Church in Gastonia, right after my family moved to Gastonia when I was in the third grade. She always impressed me as one of those invincible people. Perhaps part of it was because she was always taller than I. But all through the years I found that she was indefatigable as well as smart - but always friendly, joyful, prankish, and kind. She will be sorely missed by all that knew her.

Lane, I see you have a birthday coming up in a couple of days. I sincerely hope all is well with you. Best wishes for the year and always.

Happy birthday, Robert. Yes, I know this is a day or so early, but I have to take time out from my busy schedule and write notes like this on the weekends. (Just joking.)

Happy birthday, Barbara Lou. Best wishes for all times.

Happy birthday, Nancy. We hope that you are well. Have not heard from you in a long time.

Happy birthday, "Old Man." How's it going? I haven't heard from you lately. I hope everything is okay. Shoot me a note and bring me up to date. I've been through a few health challenging issues lately, but decided I'm still going to stick around. Circumstances (economic) are dictating that it is probably time for me to retire. We liquidated our property management business this year - but have some loose ends to tie up with other projects. I've replaced some of my afternoon work hours with naps, so that might be some indication that its time. I will be 81 next month. Happy Thanksgiving. Best wishes always.
