THROW BACK THURSDAY - TWINS IN OUR CLASS plus Class News
Did you ever wonder how many sets of twins we had in our Class? Well, wonder no more. There were 7 sets.Here they are and where they are today:
Bell Twins -- Gwenda Sue ("Gwen") Bell Penn and Linda Lou Bell Wiggins For years these twins lived next door to each other in Shreveport, LA I'm trying to reach Linda Wiggins at her daughters in Texarkana, TX. I'm not sure about Gwen. On the hunt!
Farris -- Carolyn and Marolyn Carolyn Miller is married and lives in Bismarck, AR Marolyn Ogden is a widow and still lives in Little Rock And I can testify that if you passed them on the street today, you would still recognize them. They are truly identical twins! Humbardt -- Jack and Jane Unfortunately, Jack passed away in 2002. He still lived in this area. Jane Manning still lives in Little Rock and has inherited our Classmate, Carolyn Oates. as her sister-in-law. She doesn't have a computer so Carolyn's son, Bill Pearrow, prints TBT each week and hand delivers it to her each week.
Kizzia -- Dean and Jean Unfortunately, we lost Dean in 2012. I know that Jean still misses him terribly. Jean lives in Houston, TX, and attends all of our Reunions. She looks great!
Shocket -- Barbara and Betty Another big loss was the passing of Barbara in 1998. Betty lives in Tampa, FL, and has not attended a Reunion since the loss of her twin.
Tabor -- Lois and Louise Lois Barnhouse passed away in 2007 and Louise Vermillion in 2016
Wafer -- Martha McClotchey and Sara Kelley Not only do they both live in Clermont, FL, they live together! It was wonderful seeing them at our 60th Reunion. And like the Farris twins, I assure you that you would recognize them if you passed them on the street.

FB does some funny things. All of a sudden, out of the blue this picture appeared the other day.I can't even remember what year this was taken, but I do remember that a bunch of us were on our way to Branson. I thought you'd get a kick out of seeing it. I sure did. Starting L to R: Nancy Rankin, Sherlyn Cale (Charlie's wife), Joyce Fuller (who came all the way from Houston, TX!), Judy Callaway, Midge Brown, yours truly, Diann Perrier, Betty Barnard(lost her in February), a friend of Joyce's who came with her from Houston, TX. We had such a good time and such a crowd!!!
