You can't always get what you want, But if you try sometimes You just might find You get what you need......
Remember, now that we are older....we are CLASSIC PATRIOTS!
May God bless and keep you always,
May your wishes all come true,
May you always do for others
And let others do for you.
May you build a ladder to the stars
And climb on every rung,
And may you stay forever young.
May your hands always be busy,
May your feet always be swift,
May you have a strong foundation
When the winds of changes shift.
May your heart always be joyful,
May your song always be sung,
And may you stay forever young.
.......'Forever Young', Bob Dylan

We would like to hear from you. Post your messages here.
Hello friends! I still live in Independence, in the same general neighborhood as when we were at Truman. I have been married 50 years to Jan as of FEB 10th and have one daughter, Amy.
Amy graduated from Truman in 1994 (she got to know Mr. Brown for his last year)and received her Bachelors and Masters degrees in Business and Business Administration from the University of Missouri. She and her husband Jeff live on three beautiful acres in Stilwell Kansas. We have two beautiful Granddaughters, Mackenzie, born Nov. 3rd 2006, and Reagan, born Feb. 18th 2009.
Jan was an L.P.N. and last worked in administration at The Groves (formerly Resthaven) and retired in 2016. Her hobbies include art and Ornithology.
I operated my own business for over 38 years, providing private contract linen services to doctors offices and clinics and am now mostly retired. My hobbies include Amateur radio, call sign KD0QMY, several collections (railroad antiques, and meteorite specimens), but my favorite is Horse Car Bells (you can see them on my web site). I am told it is the largest collection in the U.S.
Over the years I have served as Vice President and Chairman of the Board of Friends of the Chicago & Alton Depot, the group which saved, relocated and restored the historic 1879 Chicago & Alton Railroad Depot here in Independence. I was a member of the Independence Messiah Choir for 20 years, retiring from that activity after the nationwide television broadcast of the 75th performance in 1993. I have had the privilege of time at the Auditorium Organ on several occasions. I was ordained to the Priesthood of the Community of Christ Church (R.L.D.S.) in 1981. Since then, I have authored several articles and essays for Church publications. Jan and I had K.C. Royals season tickets for 33 years, but we decided to let them go and do other things instead.
I'm happy to be a part of this site and enjoy hearing from, and about all of my old classmates. Email me anytime!
I would like to add my personal thanks to all those who responded to and attended our 40 year reunion, the 60th Birthday Bash and our 50 year reunion. I only wish that more had been able to join us. For an internet/word-of-mouth effort, I think they worked out very well.
The Class of 1968 remembers our Classmates that have gone before us.
