Notes: Spring C & C, APRIL 16, 2026

A smaller than usual gathering but it was a lively and fun filled group. Brenda Batchelor (Kilgard) sent the following message.

"It took all these years for me to learn that Pete Wood and I share the same birthday, April 16th.  How about that?  I would love nothing more than to be with everyone as we celebrate 65 years from graduation. That in itself is too hard to believe.  I will miss seeing everyone.  Life in Georgetown is great,  Remain in excellent health for which I am very grateful. May 20th, I will take the fabulous Vonlane bus to Dallas for 5 days visiting with family.  When I return,  I will head to Galveston for 5 nights with 8 girlfriends who have been going to the beach together for 15 years twice a year. In May, I will fly to Iowa with family to celebrate a granddaughter's "masters graduation" and then I will come home and two days later I will fly to Paris, France for 8 days. You can understand why you are not seeing me in Arizona. I need to slow life down a bit, don't you think? Give everyone my very best! Brenda"

We had some visitors too. The granddaughter of classmate Bob Weaver, Miss Kenzie Hogan and her parents Cynthia (Weaver) and Artie Hogan joined us for some lively memories of Bob, cars and Tempe High. Sylvia Radcliffe, former wife of John Radcliffe joined us with Pete Wood.

 It's hard to believe it's been 65 years since graduation. Perhaps we could make some efforts to encourage a bigger turnout for the fall session of Coffee & Conversations.

 


L TO R: Eldon Smith, Bob Burger, Sylvia Radcliffe (former wife of John Radcliffe), Pete Wood, John Black, Chuck Holly, Dan Clark, Sara Clark (wife of Dan), Zena Hall (wife of Jerry), Kenzze Weaveer  (Granddaughter of Robert "Bob" Weaver) and Jerry Hall.
