IRENE'S AMY and MORE

I'm sure all of you remember Amy Batts. She's the daughter of the late IRENE PIEL and David Batts. She attended our class reunions, the last one with her dad after IRENE passed away. 

She is getting married to Gregg Havlak, of Abilene, on October 28, 2017. Even though this is one of the happiest events in one's life, Amy says it won't be the same without IRENE. She really wishes her mother could be here to lend much desired advice on the wedding plans, fashion, and even etiquette. I'm pretty certain IRENE and David will be with her in spirit. Our best wishes to Amy.

JUNE HASH CURRY sent the following, "I will be out of circulation for awhile after June 5th as I am getting my right knee replaced since it now refuses to function just like the left one quit doing last year. I will be in the hospital 3 days and then in a nursing home for awhile, but will go back online as soon as I get over the debilitating nausea that always seems to follow me for weeks because of the necessary pain drugs during and after surgery. I never dread the surgeries, only the nausea afterwards." Oh, June, I can relate to the dreaded nausea!

A group of Ballinger classmates got together today to go over some of the plans for the 60th Class Reunion to be held October 7th at the Community Center in Ballinger. PATSY BERRY BOMAR is Vice-President elect, and will be filling in for JAMES HAYS, Class President, as he is due to have back surgery soon. (Good luck, JAMES.) More details will be forthcoming. Probably via snail mail.  (PATSY, I need a new photo, please!)

NANCY THOMPSON BAKER is still my go-to girl for Ballinger news. If any of you have something you wish to share, please drop me an email, or give her a call. Her number's in the book. (The handbook, that is.)

Until next time.

Peace and Love,
