First I
hope you all have had a Merry Christmas and I wish you a Happy New Year.
We've started a new feature called "Keeping in Touch" which is authored
by Barbara Malcolm McAlister. In her first article she features Lois
Rhodus Williams. Stay tuned for more.

I'm happy
to say that we have found Sharon McCain Kanke alive and well and living in Nevada.

with the class directory and found she was the woman I would have
thought she would become. She loved her God, her family and her
friends. She will be missed.

Here's a letter received from Linda McConwell about
Mary Jo Myers:
" Mary Jo Myers, wife of
(Gen.) Dick Myers, was interviewed by Chris Wallace, Sunday, May 8,
Mother's Day, on Fox News as the "Power Player of the Week". It's a great
interview and I hope you can find it.
Mr. Wallace honored Mary
Jo for her service to the families of our service men/women. After giving
her Frequent Flyer miles to the mother of an injured soldier, Mary Jo
started what is now called the "Hero Miles" program. Over 100 million
miles have been donated since then and 3000 tickets given to the families
of military personnel.
During the interview, Mary
Jo spoke about the families of the soldiers who serve as also serving our
country. Her sincere compassion and admiration for these families was
clearly apparent and heart-warming.

Remember Bev:
A year ago today, July 9, 2003, our beloved classmate, Beverly (Warren) Goble lost her courageous battle against cancer, and was called to her heavenly home.
We miss Bev's radiant smile, insightful suggestions, and charming wit.
If you attended Bev's funeral service, you will remember releasing a colorful balloon in her memory. As those balloons soared skyward, some of the sadness was lifted from our hearts, just as Bev had planned.
Bev is missed by her friends, and so terribly missed by her loving family.
Take a moment today to reflect on those balloons, and lift up prayers for your treasured families.

First I want to wish you all a Happy Thanksgiving Holiday.
New updates have been made to the Memory Book:
New email address for: Carol Castle Coffey.
Check the Memory Book details or the
Memory Book Updates.
Email address:
I want to remind you that you can now have an email address at
smnorth60.com.
Just let me know and I'll set the account up for you. You can
use it as a primary address or an additional address.
Memory Book change:
I've made a slight change that will cause a slight delay when going to the
Memory Book. I've made this change to help prevent the snooping
robots from harvesting our email addresses. I hope this isn't too much
of an inconvenience for you.
New link:
I've added a new link to Shawnee
Mission North 1961. The link is on the front page.
Oct.
26, '03
The Change:
During the past couple of weeks I've transferred this web site to another
host, iPowerWeb. Most of, if not all, should be transparent to
you.
I've made the change for several reasons:
First is the financial reason. It is costing us $3.00 per month less
and we received an additional year of domain name registration, a $15.00
value. As our Class coffers are limited, this will be saving us $36
a year.
Second, for less money, we are now getting more services. We've had
50 megabits of storage space with 5 email accounts. We now have 800
megabits of storage space and 400 email accounts.
Third, iPowerWeb has a better interface for me to handle the
administration of the web site.
Additional web site info:
Unfortunately I must report that in my transferring the web site, I've
lost the bulletin board messages. I hope you will forgive
me.
I've also made a decision to eliminate visible email addresses on the web
site. I'm no longer asking for or using your email addresses in the
bulletin board or the guest log. I've become aware that robot
computer programs can search web sites and harvest email addresses which
are then used for spam mailing lists.
Email address:
Since we now have available 400 email accounts, I can now offer
you a new email address. These are standard POP3 email accounts, not
web based accounts. Your email address would be
If you are interested in a new email account, send me your request
including the name you would like to use and a password that you want to
use.

* How Did We Ever Survive?

also check Memories Page
Recently, Don Davis sent me a link to a web site that can take up a lot of your time.
It's www.oldkc.com . This site is packed
with old photos in and around KC. It's worth the time.
Webmaster's promo:
I invite you to visit two of my other web sites. The first is www.hotspringsvillageview.com . This
is a public service type site for the community, Hot Springs Village, AR, that I live in.
I've been working with our animal shelter so you will almost always see animals
that need new homes. (Yes, I'm doing the photography.)
The second web site is www.newlons.com . This
one is a bit more off the wall. Here in my Arkansas Ramblings you'll find out what I
find amusing these days. Oh yes, lately the Guest Book on this site hasn't been
working. It's OK now, so feel free to leave your name and let me know that you've
visited my web site. Thanks, Larry Newlon

I'm once again a Mid-Westerner, I think. I've recently left California after 29
years and moved to Hot Springs Village, Arkansas. A lot closer to SM North.
I've just made a couple of updates to the Memory Book, my new
address and a found lost classmate, Susan Aitken Johnson. To make your life a little
easier in downloading, I've created a new page with only the new updates. Click on
"Classmates/Memory Book" on the home page. In this way, you don't have to
download the complete Memory Book which is a very big Word file.
Also, Don Davis has passed on a new link about the history of
Shawnee Mission North. The web URL is: www.smn-rab.org/SMN-HIST/btn00.htm
The link can also be found on the "Memories" page.
Your Web Master and Classmate,
Larry Newlon
