The Bladenboro Class of ’56 is preparing, planning a class reunion … Details soon … I have been thinking about when we entered school in Bladenboro. One of our first grade teachers was Miss Knott, an old maid, strict, fair … Wanted the class to take a nap after lunch … using newspapers spread over an oil based wooden floor … Not my thing … didn’t take a nap at home and not a great deal of interest in the first grade … Miss Knott prevailed … in my case…
Bladenboro Class of ’56 will have a get-together on Thursday, November 10th at 1 p.m. … More info upcoming … About 100 began the high school adventure in 1952 … about 50 graduated in ’56, and now down to 20 or 30…
One of the top songs of the time was “Straighten Up and Fly Right’, I do not remember … Dean Martin and several others recorded … “Baby, It’s Cold Outside.” Very appropriate for today … and I do remember…
It’s cold outside this morning … 39 degrees at 5 a.m.
Fog in the forecast early today, then sunny, with a high near 62 and windy, gusts as high as 15 mph. Patchy frost tonight, otherwise, clear, with a low around 38. Thursday, areas of frost early, then sunny with a high near 67. Highs in the 70s later this week.
NY Yankees defeated Cleveland last night, winning the best-of-5 series, 3-2, and advancing in MLB playoffs.
Stock market posted substantial gains 2 days in a row … Oh yes, voting begins Thursday … I hope you vote … Let your conscience be your guide…
