We miss Robyn very much but Martha you have stepped up in a very dymanic way to fill her shoes. Thanks so much for what you do for the dwindling HHS Class of 1963. Third Mondays ..... on my calender!

John, you are so right. Robyn is missed and will continue to be in our memories as such a terrific classmate and friend. Knowing that, Martha stepped forth and filled in with a smile that doesn't stop. I know we'll continue to have fun and join together to share our memories and experiences. Thanks Martha. Rhonda, may I follow in your direct and wonderful manner by repeating "Ditto." Enjoy Independence Day folks.

Hi Everyone,

I was informed by Barbara Ayers (Tatum) that our classmate Janet Held had a stroke recently. Janet is currently at Compass Health ?, 7000 Jefferson Blvd, Room 154. Her room phone # is 505 563-4173 and her  cell phone # is 505 604-6168.  Barbara said that she is coherent and would love calls or visits.

I am sorry I’ll miss Robyn’s rememberance I have a previous engagement scheduled. 

Mary Ann Simanek (Villarreal)

That facility is just down the road from me. I’ll be visiting with her soon. Thank you Neal for the info. 

Martha Glantz (Farmer)

I found out Janet has therapies until 3 today.  That may or may not be consistent, but I imagine work comes before pleasure there!  The attendant I spoke with said she was doing well today.  <smile>

Sandra Stewart (Smallwood)

Went to see Janet today.  She wants to go home, but is somewhat confused.  She did recognize me.  They had her sitting in a chair awaiting a shower.  I didn't stay long.

Martha Glantz (Farmer)

I also saw her today briefly. I was much encouraaged. She sends her hellos to the class.  She didn't sound confused this afternoon.  She even knew me!  She has had several phone chats with classmates, and we talked about a few other things. She is still that Janet!! I bet the weekends could be long though, without the therapies she's getting.   

Mary Ann Simanek (Villarreal)

Today Sunday I spent a while with Janet. She was good but a bit sad and feeling sorry for herself. That’s to be expected due to her circumstance.  For those that have tried to call or left messages. I helped her with her phone and her voice mail box was full. She had messages back to June 2018. There were even two from Robyn that brought tears. I spoke with her neiva and she plans on relocating Janet to her area in Oregon. Don’t know the time frame but class of 63 can any of you help with packing up her house when plans are firm?  Again time frame is pending but the move will happen. Please visit or call when you can. Thanks

Martha Glantz (Farmer)

Mary Ann, if you can, please keep us posted about Janet’s move.  I’m glad she has family who wants her nearby, but what a change for Janet!

On a much different note, we are one week away from the third Monday of July.  Our appointed luncheon date is July 15, at 1:00.  We have reservations at Dave’s Valley Grill, the birthday choice of the month.  Dave was pleased we would be returning and sent me some July menu features. Here’s one for the adventurous: Honey Sriracha Teryaki Chicken Bowl...coconut rice smothered with grilled teriyaki chicken, fresh pineapple, red and green peppers, zucchini, and red onions, topped with toasted coconut.  Their equally tasty regular menu is still available.  I will be confirming seats that Monday morning, so please reply here.  The restaurant is at 6601 4th St. NW, at the junction of Osuna and 4th.  It was chosen so the west-sliders would appreciate the shorter drive, as we would their company!  Happy Pre- and Post-Birthday to you July folk! Glad you’ve come of age!

Helen Stambaugh (Williams)

I'll be at lunch on the 15th.

Also, let me know when Janet's house needs packing up.  I can probably help.

Mary Ann Simanek (Villarreal)

Saw Janet today. Her social worker said the earliest she can go home will be the 19th pending her progress. She will need someone possibly to help her for a week or so. I’ll be out of town. 

To change subject  the 15th I won’t be able to attend  have a meeting to go to at 1130.  Should that be cancelled or end early I’ll try to attend.

Rhonda Beauchamp (Blech)

Sandra Stewart (Smallwood)

I will be at the July luncheon.  Also keep me posted on Janet's move.  I might be available to help pack.

Mary Ann Simanek (Villarreal)

saw Janet today. She is along good progress with her rehab. She asks everyone to hold their calls as she has a problem working her phone and can’t retrieve any messages. She asks that you post to our highland site instead. The move is up in the air and pending her recovery she may stay here.  She would really like some visitors so if you can please stop by and say hi.

Gloria Ruiz (Santana)

I won’t be able to make it this month. Have a greasy time. 

Cheryl Fossum (Graham)

Once again I have it on my calendar.

John Criswell

Out of town until Tues. Sorry to miss another one.

Walter Huebner

Am planning to attend the lunch on 15 July.

Betty Myers (Schaefer)

I will be in ABQ to attend Robyn's memorial so I will be around to go to lunch on Monday.  Bringing Susan also.
