Jan Spottswood

Sue Eng, I will pray for your recovery as well. What I remember about Sue was how smart she was in school.
Sue, God will hold your hand. Please let us all know any updates. We ALL are here to support you Sue.

OH btw... I shaved my head this weekend for the Cause. It is only hair and it will grow back. For those with cancer, they do not have a choice. Let's all do something to make a difference for others. Shaving my head was easy for me, I do not have this horrible disease.

Ed White

I gotta see that! Jan Spottswood with a shaved head . . . Post a photo Jan! :-)

Ed White

It's not the shaved head . . . it's the shaved head on Jan!!! :-)

Jan Spottswood

Eddie, and Alan, I love it. and I have posted the photo on my profile. Many folks tell me, "You can pull this off". So I have. lol

Kissy pooh

What a wonderful reunion week-end...there were so many precious moments that will live in a special place in my heart for many years to come.

Seeing everyone so happy talking, laughing and re-connecting...the friendships developed so long ago still burn bright ... there was a lot of love among this group that came back together this week-end...it felt like time had stood still for 40 years and we were all teenagers again...

A huge thanks to the committee and everyone who worked so hard in order to make our reunion not only possible but so successful and so fun!

My best wishes for good health and much happiness to all of the classmates of '69...you are so very special...and yes, so very FINE!

Thank you for the BEST TIME EVER !!!

Alan Okun

Yes you're right Ed...she does look much prettier than me...
you look great Jan!!!

Jan Spottswood

Wow, thanks Eddy and Alan, However looking better than Alan is not saying much. ROFL. Alan you know I love ya.

Honestly, the head has so manyyyy nerves. It feels better than it looks. ha

Sad news. Kristin Kennedy Bowen's husband Larry passed away last Wednesday, June 24th after a long battle with Liver Cancer. If you know Kristin and her spirit you know how much she would love to hear from you. You can send her a note through the private message function on her profile. Thanks.

Chris Parker, where is the video taken at the reunion? I know the fellows were from comcast. Just wondering.
Adore you all, my classmates.

Chris Parker

I have the video in my hot little hands. We are going to record a short intro to it, have it professionally edited, add music and post it. I am working on it.

Keep those cards and letters coming.

Jan Spottswood

Wondering, I want to keep contact with our classmates who are here in Jax. Can we start having small group get together's at a place where we can have something to eat, and DRINK!. I would like to be included if you are meeting.

Maggie, thanks for the invite to your last get together with the girls. I hated to miss that.

I want us to stay together. I guess this means a lot to me and growing older, it means even more.

Jan Spottswood

Yesterday I lost my job in property management due to low occupancy. The economy has hit the apartment industry and considering my owners do not live in Jacksonville, they are not in tune with this market, I was let go after 5 years. Had no late rents for over 4 years, and 3 yrs consecutive I was given Property Manager of the Year. So.... anyone who might know of a job... please let me know.

This is networking, who better to go to than ole school friends.

Dear Friends,

As you know, our dear Sue Chang lost her battle with Pancreatic Cancer Sunday evening. Her memorial service is being planned for this Saturday, Time and place is TBD and I will let you know the details as soon as they are confirmed.

Her children are faced with the loss of their mother and many monetary challenges as well. We are planning to collect any donations and cards of sympathy for the children or food for the reception after the memorial service. Please send your special memento, card or donation to me by Thursday so I can prepare a nice basket from our Mandarin Family to the Chang Family. There will be a green bin on my desk for you to drop off your contributions.

Also, if you would like to contribute food for the reception, you can send me an email so we can plan a beautiful tribute to Sue Chang who hosted so many receptions for all of us. I really appreciate any efforts you can make as I know how our Mustang Family always pulls together in times of need.

Any teachers who may have taught the Chang Children may want to write them an individual note as well. Their hearts are broken and I am certain this will help. Bless you all!

PS – Please forward this to any friends that you know may be interested in helping.

So sorry to hear about Sue. She was such a beautiful person. A fellow teacher at Beauclerc taught her daughter in Kindergarten. Mitzie told me of all the things Sue made for her while Jenny was in her class. She said she still has the heart stamp Sue gave her. She will surely be missed. We all loved her smile and gentle ways. Forever in our hearts.

Chris Parker

I can not think of a more pleasant person with a nicer and warmer smile.  I know she will be missed.  I am glad she was at the reunion, it was very good to see her.

Our dear teacher, mentor and friend Frances Brewster passed away Thursday, April 22nd at the age of 80.  I'm sure that for many of you, as is the case for me, Mrs. Brewster had a cherished positive effect on my life.

A memorial service will be held at 3 p.m. Thursday at Hardage-Giddens Funeral Home, 4115 Hendricks Ave., followed by a reception.

Here's a link to an article about her in today's Florida Times Union:

Ed, that is sad news.  Mrs. Brewster was our neighbor on Vassar Road.  I remember her well.

We honor thee dear Wolfson;

A friend throughout our days.

Inspiring us to greater goals-

Thy standards high we raise!

Thy royal blue and scarlet ;

Infured in noblest pride.

We honor thee dear Wolfson-

Our mentor, friend and guide!
