We seem to all be suffering a common problem these days, WHERE DID OUR LIVES GO? Our brains seem to still be 18, but our bodies are talking a different language. Sarah Orne Jewett puts it much more eloquently than do I:

“Neither of my companions was troubled by her burden of years. I hoped in my heart that I might be like them as I lived on into age, and then smiled to think that I too was no longer very young. So we always keep the same hearts, though our outer framework fails and shows the touch of time.”

Obituary for our KHS63 member Dave Sanborn, remembered by so many of us!

Many of us had connections to the late fabulous musician Dave Sanborn.  Feel free to post your memories here if you wish.  Here is his obituary from Legacy.com.  The one from the St. Louis Post Dispatch wouldn't open when posted on my Facebook page:

A LOVE STORY SOME OF OUR CLASSMATES WILL APPRECIATE MORE THAN OTHERS, BUT ALL SHOULD SEE

 Happy sunny Saturday in May here in Missouri!  I found this news story this morning and immediately thought of certain of our classmates who rekindled love at a later age.  No matter when we fell in love, this is a charming story of 90 year old lovebirds.  Since we KHS65ers are afterall aging, it's probably more appropriate than other stories we might see!  I hope you enjoy it.  Vive l'amour!

Another of our sweet girls gone too soon - resting in peace and love

Dear friends, please know Cindy was so well loved by her family, her three great children and her grands.  Another of our girls gone before she should have been.  She and former hubby Paul Silman of our class raised three wonderful, smart children invested in their lives and the world around them.  I had the pleasure of meeting all of them and knew instantly they would fare well in our world.  Paul's mother was a friend of my children's paternal grandmother, they didn't live close in their later lives, but were there for one another when it mattered, that's just the kind of family they are.  May Cindy rest in the peace and love she earned.
