My story since graduation

Graduated from WSU and taught three years in Wichita and one in Salina. From 1973-86 worked at Holy Rosary Church, Houston and 1986-2004 assisted Fr. Gerard Joubert, O.P., in his ministry and writings until his death in 2004. Cared for my mother until her death while helping with my great-nephew and great niece as they grew. Volunteering and working on a maternal family tree with so far over 400 names and six generations. Staying in touch with dear friends and praising God for all of my blessings.

School Story:

In soccer class, I captained a team and most of the Black students were on the other team. As I coached along the side lines for my teammates to play more aggressively against the opponents, one teamate said, "You get in here and try taking the ball away." I had to set the example although it was going to be painful. Well, the game went back and forth without any team scoring a single point. Returning to that gym room there was a feeling we were all winners that day. I guess that is why I'm always positive and happy because I've learn to give my all to whatever I do.

What is still on your bucket list

Whatever comes my way I'm interested in.

Three words that best describe YOU

Hopeful, prayerful, and happy.

Your words of wisdom to others

Put God first, others second, and yourself third.

My condolences to Phillips's wife, siblings, and children.  Phillip was a friend to everyone

Phillip Fellers was a classmate of mine from Elementary, Junior, and Senior High.  Along with +Jenny Helm Scott and Janet  Hoffmaster Skula.

I will have to pull up those class pictures from Elementary, Junior, and Senior High School.  Friends are forever!

He was always kind and happy.  It is wonderful to know about his large family.  

Rest in Peace, dear friend.  Can't wait to join all those, who touched our lives and have gone to their eternal rest.

So good to hear you connected. Always thought you were still in Texas. Hope you are well and keeping warm, especially with this cold weather passing through your area. Here my picture on my birthday, wearing a wig as I was undergoing cancer treatment. Hair is coming back slowly so hope to post the most recent. Stay well and happy to know where you are now. alicia

Great to see a beautiful familiar face. You were such a dear to me at the last reunion. Sorry I won't be there due to my on-going cancer treatment. Bald is beautiful! Have a great time and hope to share some of the pictures and memories. alicia

Love that twinkle in your eyes and bubbling in your smile. So happy you'll be attending. Did hope WSU would have won a championship but not in the cards. Still support my alma mater. Sorry I won't get to see you. Going through cancer treatment, mild by all accounts, but not able to travel or be amongst crowds. Have a great time and so great to read your write-up. alicia
