Ruthie Williams sent this to Sharon and she SAYS it is the old Sunday School Class from Maryville First Baptist. This church building became an office building when First Baptist moved behind the former jail on Lamar Alexander Parkway.

Sharon swears she can pick out Ruthie, herself, and many others, can YOU??

I hope you don't have any problems with these. If these files are too big (I usually send smaller but thought you might need more data) let me know and I will send them a little smaller.

The first one is of my family at Christmas 2003. That is Mike (31- current age), Celeste (33), Reg and I and Liz (23) in front of our barn - a reproduction of an 1890's life saving station.

The second photo is of Todd Lewis taken out on Whitehead Island one sunny day. He found a great buoy which I still have hanging on a tree in the yard.

The third photo is of Reg and I last summer - all cleaned up for a relative's wedding.

Then there is one of Jeanie and Todd Lewis - they came to visit in '03 and we climbed up the lighthouse at the end of the Rockland Breakwater. It sits out about 3/4 of a mile into the harbor and in this photo, the fog has rolled in and obscured the land.

The last is of my mother, Maxine Cantley. So many people have written me after her recent death, I thought maybe they might like to see a relatively recent picture of her. In this one, she is 84.

Thanks for taking care of this rather complicated job.

Be careful what you wish for, Walker!

Familyshot is at 60th anniversary gathering - 2001. RWBF is me and husband Buddy with Dixie and Bamboo in '98 (we still look the same of course). Brownie is me and mother here at the beach last winter. RuthieSunset gives you an idea why I'm loving living near the beach (I'm not sending any hurricane photos!).

I have loads of old photos in boxes in Memphis. I'm heading up there tomorrow for a couple of weeks, so I'll try to come up with a few that everyone will find entertaining. Thanks for doing the website - so good to hear about everyone before we meet at the reunion!

Later

I have been living in Missoula, Montana with wife Jan , son Curtis 20 ( Junior at Maryville College) and daughter Catherine 14 ( who will be a freshman in High School this fall). I work independently as a management consultant doing leadership development, strategic planning, and team building and management team retreats. We have fallen in love with the North West and love Missoula. I volunteer with the Missoula County United Way ( Research and development committee), the Chamber of commerce ( Leadership Missoula and Leadership High School) , the Jeannette Rankin Peace Resource Center ( Board Member) , attend the University Congregational UCC Church and serve on the Witness and Justice committee, and hike ,float the rivers ,and fish as often as time and weather allow. I am blessed to be still kicking and like to garden and enjoy live music ( folk, rock, country, alternative). I still get back to Tennessee four or five times a year for work and to see family and friends and have held on to the old farm house my Dad bought over 40 years ago where I hide out and enjoy nature when I am back in town. Come visit Montana! Glacier and Yellowstone are not to be missed if you can help it. I would be glad to recommend my favorite spots. Looking forward to seeing everyone in July. Here are a few pictures so you can recognize me! Hum! Balding but still have some left! Steve
