A very special thank you to Kathy Nott Coulombe for representing our classmates in our shared sorrow over the passing of Bill Tobin.  Kathy chose to make the trip (from Massachusetts to Connecticut) to attend Bill's memorial on January 8, and arranged to have flowers -- red & gold, naturally -- and a banner delivered, on behalf of our class. This was a most fitting gesture and ironically reminiscent of something Bill himself might have done.  Kathy wrote "The banner across the arrangement stood out and many of Bill's friends and family remarked about how nice it was that Bill's high school class remembered him in such a special way.  Mavis, too, was very appreciative that the class sent such a beautiful arrangement, and thanked Roger and me profusely for coming to express our condolences personally, and on behalf of our class."

For those who may need to smile through a few tears, be sure to visit the 45th reunion "Out-Fakes" (playful pictures) page to see Bill in his official Wilson 'mug-shot.' He truly was a poster child for the Class of '63.  http://www.wilson63.com/id122.html.  He was very amused by this at the time, and it demonstrates well his good sportsmanship and warm sense of humor. 

GODMOTHER I  ~~  GODMOTHER II

We've Got You Covered   :-)

When Judy Omohundro McGregor's twins were born in 1975, she asked her closest friends to be the Godmothers.  Pat Shelley filled that role for Scott, and Jeri Hemphill (me) for Chris.  We lost Judy in 1998 to cancer, after a very brief but brave battle.  On March 31st, 2012, Chris McGregor married Tammy Benson (at, what else, a petting zoo!) and both Godmoms were there to stand in for the twins' beloved mother.  Pat came down from Sacramento.  This is the first picture of all of us together in 36 years, since we were photographed on the church steps after the baptism.  Judy's presence was felt by all of us.
