Pam Galbraith (Hudson)

First off, just want all of you to try to stay healthy and that you all will be ever so careful.  I know being careful, wearing a mask, staying 6 or more apart and no gathering in even a tiny group is hard, but this virus is nasty and even nastier to some. I care about each and every one of you so PLEASE PLEASE be vigilant!!!!!!!!

Despite this year being difficult, my prayer is that we will all get through this in true Spartan Spirit and will look forward to getting together again in 2021!!!!!

Whatever your day looks like tomorrow,be thankful for the blessings we have been given.  HAPPY HEALTHY THANKSGIVING TO YOU ALL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!heartPam

 

Jan, keeping you in my prayers for a speedy recovery!!!!!!!!!!

Happy Thanksgiving to all!!  I cancelled my family Thanksgiving even though there would be only 10 of us.  We have risk factors in the family.  I would rather be safe now & celebrate later.  I've lined up a nice dinner for me & have some DVD's ready to go.

I miss all of you & pray that everyone will stay safe.  If we mind our p's & q's now we can party in 2021.  

Jan thank you for sharing & I pray you don't get any worse.  Please keep us posted. This virus is no joke as Jan indicates.  Masks DO help.  You never know who carries the virus - you don't know if you carry it to other people. 

I love all of you Spartans & want to see everyone in 2021.  PLEASE BE SAFE!!

Jan, I am so glad that your symptoms are relatively mild.  And, thank goodness you listened to your inner voice.  We have been very cautious since our county has a high percentage of positive cases.  Quite a number of my friends have stories like yours.  So, we are also having Thanksgiving by ourselves this year.  Thanks goodness for Zoom that we can share a little family time together.  I hope you all stay healthy and look for the "thanks" this holiday.

Jan, I'm sorry to hear about your diagnosis, but happy to hear that you got tested  and are recovering.  If everyone would follow what the doctors are saying, we can beat this deadly virus.  It is full swing now and with the holiday the cases will probably be on the rise.  Please stay in and when you do go out wear your mask.  I even have plastic gloves that I wear shopping.

On a brighter note, I hope everyone has a very nice Thanksgiving - even though it will be different and less social.  Please take good care of yourselves.  I'd like to see you all in 2021 too.  And Jan, you are in my prayers.

I am normally in town for Thanksgiving, but cancelled my trip and decided to stay in Tucson. Jan, I'm sorry to hear that you got the virus. Hope you recover completely.  It's so scary to think that even if you're careful it can still find you.  

Just did a Zoom with my family and am so thankful we are all healthy though apart. I hope all of you are able to be with loved ones and enjoy the day in whatever way you can. 
hoping for a better 2021! 🦃🍁

So sorry to hear of your illness Jan.  Sounds like a mild case, but that's no consolation.  Our neighbors all had it for about 10 days. Felt lots of fatigue and sore throat but now are out and about with no adverse consequences. Funny thing is that the doctor recommended o medicines, just rest and Tylenol for achiness.

Sorry to hear about the loss of Bill - very kind person.  May he rest in peace & may his family find comfort.

I remember that Bill had a quick,dry sense of humour. He also had a confident aura about him that many of us wished we had.

Sorry to hear of Bill's passing.  He was a real wit and could get me laughing in class from his antics and his comments.  Steve Harpold, I am sorry for your loss of a lifelong friend.  Bill and I were in several classes at UT together back in the day.  Would hang out at the Student Union periodically and just talk about the craziness of the times. 1968 &2020 have a lot in common.  The more things change, the more they stay the same!

I didn't know Bill Mathison all that well in school,but do have a memory of him. We were in Mr. Apgar's world history?.  Linda Gray and I were teamed up to do a report that was to be presented in class. Working on the report, we decided to bake a cupcake recipe that was from the country we were reporting on. Linda came over to my house after school and we baked the cupcakes.  That evening Greg Holewinski and I think, it was Kurt Ehrhardt, came over to the house.  My mom had a bowl of artificial fruit sitting on the table where the cupcakes were. "The boys" put an artificial grape in one of the cupcakes....course I didn't know it.

The next day Linda and I gave the report and ended the thing with passing out the cupcakes to the class. Bill bit into his and discovered his had the artificial grape. Mr. Apgar and the entire class laughed and so did Bill. He was a good sport about it all!!!!  Sorry to learn that he had health problems and has now passed away. Good guy and with a fun sense of humor.

I hope all of you are healthy and safe. Thank you for the good wishes and positive thoughts. COVID is a fickle bug. Good days and not so good days. Just when you are thinking it's over, well it's not. I wish I could tell you what to expect if you do catch it but it varies so much from person to person. I am so lucky to be able to stay home and breathe. Grocery bills are down--who wants to eat when everything tastes like your own spit? Lots of naps, solitaire online, good books, bingeing Grace and Frankie on Netflix. Don't take any chances. Mask up.

I just want to send prayers to Janis while she deals witht he COVID menise.  It sounds like you have a less severe case. God speed!

Janis, 

I certainly hope you're doing better. I know exactly what you're talking about. With a cold or flu, you are familiar with the virus' progression, but COVID-19 is not predictable. 

Stay Healthy,

Mark

Hello and Good Morning Start 68 classmates . I'm just curios has anyone seen or took any pictures of the Tree we planted in the court yard at Start High ?  if so please post  it would be nice to see

Joe, 

 
Long time no see, I hope that all is well with you and that you are preparing (as best as pandemic conditions allow) for a joyous holiday season. Regarding the Spirit Tree that we purchased and had erected in the Start HS courtyard. Ed would probably be the best resource to maybe get a picture. Ed is on the West Y board, and might have some access to the high school building. That said, as you know, because of COVID protocols, the TPS buildings are generally closed to the students. I doubt if they have done anything with it this year, since the students aren’t there to decorate or to enjoy it (but I could be wrong).
 
Also, the school administrator that requested that we provide a spirit tree rather than spending our money on a scholarship, is no longer there. While he was assigned to Start, our tree was serving its intended purpose, but since his departure, I don’t have the impression that his replacement shares his same vision, goals, or agenda. I say that because I was disappointed the last time that I saw our tree, and spoke with the school staff regarding our tree (but that was a while ago).
