    HI-LIFE IILSHS Class of 1957

    Vol IX # 5May 2011 Ed Heinlein, E IC Emeritus

    Those of you that didnt attend any of our April 29th thru May 1st activities sure missed a good

    time! I wont go into a lot of detail here, but the following pages are FULL of pictures w/captions

    from all three days. As they say, a picture is worth 1,000 words. Even the Missouri weather

    cooperated with us no rain until we were all leaving after brunch on Sunday.

    It all started Friday afternoon with our 7 thScholarship Presentation Ceremony. Our Photo of the

    Month below includes: Ed Heinlein, 2011 Scholar Lisa Weeda, Lisasproudfather & mother, and

    Terry Reynolds who, as our Class Vice President, has taken over the Presidential duties from Fred

    Peery.

    THAT SPECIAL INDIVIDUAL OUT OF ALL OF THE APPLICANTS. HOW DO THEY FIND THE TIME TO ACCOMPLISH ALL THAT

    THEY DO DURING THEIR HIGH SCHOOL YEARS? THE PARENTS OF EACH OF THE APPLICANTS MUST BE VERY PROUD.

    MISS WEEDA, WOULD YOU CARE TO SAY A FEW WORDS?

    At this time, Lisa came forward and expressed her appreciation to the Class for the award, andanswered several impromptu questions from attendees. Very impressive! We wish you the BEST,Lisa!!

    Lisa later was chosen as the grand prize winner of the 2011 ($500) research scholarship. Judges feltLisa's research on recently de-classified documents related to Japanese war crimes during WorldWar II, and the U.S. government's complicity in covering up the atrocities, stood out above otherscholarship entries.

    An update from our

    fearless leader

    Ed Heinlein

    This includes my report of the shortest trip to LS since l957 (and, on an hourly basis, the most expensive!).

    For the several days before leaving on this trip, Vivian had a particularly nasty cough. After wavering back and

    forth as to whether she should go, she finally decided on Thursday morning she was well enough to make the trip.

    (it turns out this was the second most wrong decision she has ever made, she wont tell me what the first is!)

    Vivian and I arrived on Thursday evening and had a lovely dinner with friends. That evening her cough came back.

    Friday morning, while I went to a meeting with Sheryl Franke about our scholarship, Vivian rested at the hotel. At

    noon I met with Garry Garrison and Assistant Principal Chad Hertzog in preparation for the award ceremony.

    We were once again thrilled to meet our seventh Coverdell Scholar, Lisa Weeda, parts of whose application will

    be included in the next issue. Be sure to read it, as it will give you another reason to be proud to be a member of

    the Class of 1957!

    Presentation was made by Terry Reynolds (in the stead of Fred Peery, whom we had hoped to be available. As you

    know, he was not). Terry did a masterful job of introducing this bright young woman to the members of the Class,friends and Lisas parents in attendance. Terrys presentation is included elsewhere in this issue. Fred, the Class

    and I have every reason to be proud of Terrys speech, particularly as this was the first time he had performed sucha duty.

    Vivian attended the Ceremony, and then went back to the hotel to rest. Immediately after the Ceremony, the

    Scholarship Committee met for an hour and one-half . In attendance were new member Terry Reynolds, Harold

    Shewmaker , Marilyn Williams, Judy DeTar-Hicks (substituting for Garry Garrison), Marilyn Pruyn, Sheryl Frankeand non-member Roy Hatfield, whose participation was active and appreciated. It was a lively and productive

    meeting. The name of the Scholarship is now the Paul D. Coverdell Class of 1957 Memorial Scholarship, to

    clarify the purpose of the Scholarship.

    It was decided we would double our initial goal of $25,000.00 (met shortly before our 50 th Reunion). We planto reach this challenging goal of $50,000 by our 55 th !

    Several ways to accomplish this were discussed. One of the ways came about by the death of Fred. Fred,

    according to his family, was very proud to be a member of the Class of 1957. They included in Freds obituary a

    request that donations to the Paul D. Coverdell Class of 1957 Memorial Scholarship be made in memory of Fred.While the numbers will be presented next month, several thousand dollars have already been collected in Fredsmemory. I have asked my family to request that similar donations be made in my memory at the appropriate time.

    The committee has suggested members of the Class consider doing the same. We also determined we would makeavailable forms to provide for annual gifts to the Fund. More on this, and other giving opportunities, next month.

    When I got back to the hotel, Vivian was quite ill. Consequently we had to cancel our attendance at the Pizza

    Party. On Saturday morning when she got out of bed, it was clear she needed to go home. We cancelled the rest ofthe trip and limped home Saturday morning. Both of us were exceedingly sorry to miss the rest of the functions of

    our GTG (about which more is written elsewhere.) Vivian would like to thank those who called and sent cards to

    get well. I would like to thank the Selection Committee, the whole Scholarship Committee and the rest of theClass for their participation and assistance. Ed

    And another good crowd on Saturday evening for dinner at Rumors Restaurant . . .

    Took two pictures to get everyone in one from each end of the table! Think we had 24 total.

    And about as many for brunch at the same place on Sunday morning 21 then, I think.

    Origin And Birthplace Of Memorial DayFrom http://www.thememorialdaytribute.com/origin-of-memorial-day.html

    On May 5, 1868, the Grand Army of the Republic established Memorial Day or Decoration Day as the national dayto decorate the graves of the Civil War soldiers with flowers. Major General John A. Logan appointed May 30 as the

    day to be observed. Arlington National Cemetery had the first observance of the day on a grand scale. The place

    was appropriate as it already housed graves of over 20,000 Union dead and several hundred Confederate dead.

    Gen. and Mrs. Ulysses S. Grant presided the meeting and the center point of these Memorial Day ceremonies was

    the mourning-draped veranda of the Arlington mansion. Speeches were followed by a march of soldiers' children

    and orphans and members of the GAR through the cemetery strewing flowers on both Union and Confederate

    graves. They also recited prayers and sang hymns for the dead.

    Even before this declaration, local observances for these war dead were being held at various places. In Columbus,

    Miss., a group of women visited a cemetery on April 25 1866, to decorate the graves of Confederate soldiers and

    the Union soldiers who fell at the battle of Shiloh. Many cities in the North and the South claim to be the first to

    celebrate Memorial Day in 1866 but Congress and President Lyndon Johnson officially declared Waterloo in NewYork as the 'birthplace' of Memorial Day in 1966. It was said that on May 5, 1866, a ceremony was held here to

    honor local soldiers and sailors who fought in the Civil War, businesses were closed for the day and residents

    furled flags at half-mast. It was said to be the first formal, community-wide and regular event.

    In 1971, Memorial Day was declared a national holiday by the Congress, who designated the last Monday in May

    as the day for its observance. Many states observe separate Confederate Memorial Days. Mississippi observes it

    on the last Monday of April, Alabama on the fourth Monday of April, Georgia on April 26, North and South Carolina

    on May 10 and Louisiana and Tennessee on June 3. In Tennessee, the day is named as 'Confederate Decorations

    Day' while Texas observes 'Confederate Heroes Day' on January 19. In Virginia, Memorial Day is better known as

    'May Confederate Memorial Day.'

    Today we view Memorial Day as a time to remember those that have passed before us, to decorate

    their graves and celebrate their lives. Following is a page I prepared as a handout to those

    attending our Memorial Scholarship presentation ceremony honoring the deceased classmates from

    the Class of 1957 . . .

    Health Updates

    Ted Atkins . . . April 21st

    Don't pay the ransom...I escaped. Home at last, home at last. Can't believe I just spent 12 days in the

    hospital. Still miles to go in recuping from the surgery (6-8 weeks) and then more chemo. Also I'm on a feeding

    maching 16 hours a a day until I get my appetite back. The hardest part is knowing I'm now a type 1 diabetic and

    initially must have 5 insulin shots a day. Just learing how to draw blood and give myself shots has been a

    struggle. How many times have I said "thank God for Karen?" Tired all the time but I guess it'll get better day by

    day. Thanks to all of you for your thoughts and prayers. Cards, too. I'd prefer no phone calls for the time being

    but I'll check my mail every day. Thanks again. Ted [email protected]

    And on May 10th . . .

    Hi there...

    Home 3 weeks now and feeling better by the day. Met with my surgeon last week and had the feeding tubesremoved (they were a real pain to lug around). He said I look better after 4 weeks than most do after 8weeks. That was encouraging. I'm beginning to do some daily chores and starting to ride my family room bikeagain. Appetite improving. Karen and I even went out for a prime rib dinner Sat. night. Had a glass of wine,too. Almost human again.

    The hardest part right now is learning to control my blood sugar and taking the 4 insulin shots every day. Got anew gizmo yesterday that makes drawing blood a whole lot easier. Still can't handle the idea that I'll have to dothis the rest of my life. But, as others have said, it sure beats the alternative.

    I'll start chemo again in 3-4 weeks to try and protect a reoccurrence of the cancer. Hospital bills to date well over

    $400K. Removing the pancreas totally is only done in one every thousand procedures. They actually found 2cancers the day they yanked it out so they had no choice but Karen took it badly.

    Speaking of my bride: We are running the gamut of our wedding vows. "...for richer or poorer"...been there, donethat. And we're now working on "in sickness and in health" I guess.

    I really appreciate all the get well wishes. Thanks so much for your support. Guess I'll be loafing around the poolwith a good book this summer. Karen's there every day she's off work. Take care all.

    Emory Fetters gave us a scare this month but, again, with good results . . .April 20th

    GOOD NEWS!! I spoke with Emmie's brother, Eddie, on the phone a few minutes ago. He's been steadily making

    progress since entering the hospital. If things continue to improve as they've been doing, he's expecting to be

    released to go home by the weekend.

    He did get his release and sent me the following message on April 27th after reading my email tothe class . . .

    Just read this tonight. I am not one to ask for anything, but I do truly appreciate it. Thanks to all. I willsend you an email soon and update, need to settle and make changes. Em

    What a great weekend we just had here in Lees Summit! We had 17 classmates joining in the activities.The scholarship award gathering was so nice. We have had the cream of the crop in young people representingLSHS Class of 1957 and Paul Coverdell each year. Dean and I really enjoyed having everyone over for the PizzaParty on Friday night! We were especially happy to have Marilyn Jones (Bob Jones wife) join us on both Fridaynight and Saturday night! Saturday afternoon was visiting with not only our classmates but also those from severalother classes. Dinner that evening and brunch on Sunday morning was at Rumors Steakhouse here in L.S. Wedefinitely know how to enjoy our food!

    We want everyone to mark your calendars for the weekend of June 8th

    -10th

    , 2012. That will be the next Golden 50Reunion for all having graduated over 50 years and also will be our 55

    thyear since graduation! Right now our

    tentative plans are to have a special get-together for the Class of 57 sometime that weekend. Keep watching the

    newsletter for more information after the beginning of 2012. Marilyn

    Carol and Cecil Robbins had a surprise visit . . .

    Cecil and I were surprised with a visit from Jerry and Geraldine Davis when they were up the weekend of the

    Coverdell Scholarship celebration and stopped by. Lila Roasa & I had plans to meet/eat with the girls. She had

    stopped by to pick me up and saw their car with Oklahoma tags and came inside to visit also. It was a lot of fun

    visiting and had a lot of laughs. Lila & I left to meet with the girls at Perkins and Jerry/Geraldine stayed with Cecil

    and visited for about another hour. It was such a nice surprise to see them. Carol/Cecil Robbins, Jr.

    Ive had requests from many for more of Bill Turners career stories, so here we are once more:

    Back about 1970 we took our plane and MU"s two DC 3"s to Montreal, Canada with about 60 legislators to inspecttheir Metro subway system. The first evening we were escorted to a huge castle like building and taken to beautifulroom in the lower part of the building for an official state dinner with all the trimmings. There was so muchsilverware and wine glasses it looked very much like a rummage sale that I had been to. There were six of us pilotsand we were placed to the side of all the big wigs. After all the introductions and the rest of the nonsense we finallygot to sit down. In our group was an MU pilot we shall call shorty. Shorty was very talkative and was sort of

    bragging as how he always flew the MU Pres. to these kind fancy events and how he knew all about the proper useof the silverware and what all the different glasses were for. He thought the rest of us hillbillys didnt know what wewere doing, and he was mostly right. He kept on and on how versed he was and just pay attention to him and wewould be ok. During this time he was talking he took his butter knife and put some butter on his plate and reachedinto the bread basket and broke a roll and started to put butter on it. Now you have to understand that all thewaiters were dressed in long tail tuxedos, very eye catching. At this time one of the waiters very conspicuouslycame to our table and took Shorty's bread and butter and very authoritative placed it back in the basket and butterdish. He then picked up shorty's hand and proceeded to slap it saying something in French that I don't think wasvery nice but was very, very funny. The entire room had a huge laugh at Shorty's expense. Needless to say Shortydidnt have much to say after that but the rest of us had plenty to say and laugh about. I don't think Shorty ever livedthat one down; at least the rest us would never let him outlive that. I know I let my mouth run a time or to, but I thinkShorty takes the cake. Bill

    Mothers Day wishes from Pat . . .

    Hiya. Happy Mother's Day! Our neighbor brought over a hanging basket she'd planted last night for me. Brought itinto the kitchen and 2 toads jumped out!! It was hysterical. We're talking Real Live plants here. LOL We had agood laugh over that. Only in Texas, right? They'd dug themselves in and they were very young teenagertoads. Little cuties but we chased them all over the wash room till she picked them up and released themoutside. Gads.

    Hope all is well with you. I've had a super Mother's Day even tho I'm only a mother to hundreds of animals andother people's kids. Went to a Derby Day party yesterday and I won! Ahhhhh, life is good. Sat around drinkingmint juleps and lots of wonderful food. Temperature was perfect. We still need RAIN. So far this year, we've had.01" Sort of makes you hope for rain but with all those other folks' problems I'm not sure.

    Looking forward to the new newsletter. Always a treat. Love, Pat Damsgard Hoglund

    OK .,. heres a joke on me. I have a tee shirt that I LOVE and wore it to the Friday gtg. Aftergetting dressed to go, I thought I was going to be smart and take a picture of the saying on it, sotook my picture in the mirror WRONG. You can see how that turned out . . .

    This one turned outBETTER . . .

    Anyway, whichever way you read it, its still the TRUTH and the BEST!!

    From Sharons Kitchen . . .

    June is a popular month for weddings and any month is good for a party, Bridge Club, or a baby shower.

    Heres a fun and easy-to-make mint that candy specialty shops charge a mint for. They can be eatenimmediately or, if stored in a covered container, will keep almost indefinitely in the frig. Get the

    grandkids to help make them. Its kinda like working with Play-do again.

    Cream Cheese Mints

    This is a nice party mint that is made in those yellow flexible molds. They do not use chocolate, but make

    an attractive delicious mint. Some suggested molds for this mint are: bite-size heart, rose, leaf, smalldaisy, baby booties, etc. (Makes approx.. 150 mints)

    8 oz. Cream Cheese 2 drops Oil Flavoring

    2 lbs. Powdered Sugar Granulated SugarFood Coloring

    Mix the powdered sugar and cream cheese together. Knead with hands until it resembles pie

    dough. Now add color and flavoring. Knead again. Roll into small balls and roll in the granulated sugar.Chill for one hour. (This keeps it from sticking to the mold.) Press the dough into the mold and pop out

    immediately.

    A tip about caring for plastic candy molds: They should be washed by hand in warm water and

    towel-dried by hand immediately after use. Do not use soap and do not allow them to soak in hot water.

    Never put them in the dishwasher. Molds should be stored flat or hung up. Do not store in a bent

    position or they may warp permanently. If a mold seems to stick continually, rub with a soft towel soakedin cooking oil, then wipe it out completely with a dry towel.

    Remember Mikey? - - Try it, youll like it. That will easily apply to this salad. So good youcould serve it in a parfait glass as a dessert. Light green color, cool and creamy texture, its good to go

    with about any summer meal from a luncheon to a bbq.

    Butter Mint Salad

    2 cups water 120 oz. can crushed pineapple, drained

    18 oz. container Cool Whip 13 oz. pkg lime flavored gelatin2 cups miniature marshmallows 18 oz. pkg butter mints

    In a saucepan, bring water to boil. Remove from heat and stir in gelatin and mints until dissolved.Using about a 2-1/2 qt. dish, combine gelatin mixture and pineapple and refrigerate until thickened butnot set.

    Fold in Cool Whip and marshmallows. Mix well and pour into a freezer dish or mold and place infreezer.

    I like to serve it in a frozen square on a lettuce leaf. It can also be served thawed.
