Hey Fellow Hillites,

 Happy (almost) spring. 

I have not written this column since our 60th reunion back in September. Mainly because I have been at home in The Villages, FL, just chilling.

We are the blessed ones. So many of our spouses, friends, relatives, and classmates have left us behind,  but we are still here enjoying life, love, and the beauty of waking up on the green side of the grass every day.

I have  missed the opportunity to wish the children in our class (born in the later months of the year) a happy 78th birthday and, the happier  old folks in our class with December, January ,February , & March birthdays, a happy, healthy 79th year.  I haven't forgotten you 'tweeners, born during the remaining months of the year, it's in the next update.

Do you remember sitting in class figuring out how old you would be in the year 2000 and saying, "It will never happen...forget it."

 I know ,I did...2000 was too far in  the future to even think about...yet, here we are, 2026.

We, your reunion committee, want you to know that we are planning another reunion in two years. We can't wait for every five or ten years before we do it again. 

Please do everything you can to help us!  We are six people out of our original class of over 700 ,trying our best to keep us together. 

So,  we need all the help we can get...

Keep your information updated.

Use our website. Share our website, arthurhill65.com.

Many have said, "I didn't know we had a website!"

Let your classmate friends know we are looking for them, their emails, and any other way we can contact them.  

By the way, if you haven't seen our video of our 60th Reunion, it's on YouTube. Look up "ahhs reunion".

Meanwhile, have a blessed spring and Easter.

 Keep in touch. We need you...

Karen
