My hero son Tech Sgt. C. Matthew Slaydon, retired Airforce EOD, catastrophically wounded on his 3rd tour in Ira, bomb disposal. He is totally blind, and lost his left, dominant arm. He is the strongest, best, man I have ever known.
Happy Birthday Suzanne. I remember very clearly our time together all those years ago. We had a lot of fun in those days. I pray you are well and happy.
My lovely granddaughter Lily, who just graduated high school. She has very straight hair and I had just given her some special curlers and she sent me this photo, so excited her hair had actually curled. She starts college here in Denver soon and we get to spend a lot of time together.

Hello all my old friends,
You have not heard from me in a very long time. I have been gravely ill but with God's grace I am getting back on my feet. For the last 6 years I have suffered with trigeminal neuralgia, a pain so debilitating it is difficult to describe. I was on 3 different anticonvulsants which make one into a zombie. Finally last February my neurologist chose brain surgery for me, to restructure the nerve area in my brain causing the pain. Miraculously I awoke in recovery pain free. Over the last months I have been weaned off the medications, and I feel like my old self. Recovery is slow but steady and will return me to normal. I have been following posts here and keeping up with you all with regular phone visits with our friends Steve Puckett and Barb Johnson. It's great to have been able to stay in touch all these decades, and many thanks for the hard work of our classmates who created this site for us.

Happy Birthday my good friend Steve. I am so happy we have kept our connection over all these years. I hope you have a really fun day.
Happy Birthday Steve. I sent you an email a couple of days ago and I hope you received it. You are one month and 4 days younger than I! I will call you soon and we can catch up. Thanks for being a good friend all these years, not just to me, but to all your classmates.
Well, darn...such sad news. What an amazing life he had. Our world was definitely a better place due to his presence. To his family, I am so sorry and I know you miss him terribly.
love to you all,
Carolyn
