It has been an interesting journey over the past 52 years after graduating from Angier High School in 1963. There have been ups and downs, but the ups far outnumber the downs. For that I am very thankful. I am blessed with two wonderful daughters, two great sons-in-law, three of the best grandsons in the world, lots of friends and 39 surviving classmates. It is only proper to have a small celebration to honor this occasion.
At the suggestion of one of my daughters, this was to be a pig picking. Pig picking implies informal gathering, nothing fancy. Although it was held in our garage, I wouldn't exactly call it informal. Anyone that knows my wife can tell you that "informal" is not in her vocabulary. There have to be table clothes, flowers, fancy hors d'oeuvres, entertainment and the whole nine yards.
My job was to cook the pig. With the help of a few friends we got the job done. Boy, was it good.
I think about 72 people showed up. You might spot a few classmates in this photograph.
The entertainment was by Larry Hutcherson. He was in a group that played at my oldest daughter's wedding reception in 1998.
Classmate and cousin Johnny helped with the the setup and the cooking.
And here is the cake. What a nice day. Thanks to those who made it possible and to all that attended. It means a lot to me and I will always remember it.
