I fully enjoyed the graduation party for my great-grandson Caleb, last Friday evening, held in the youth church building fellowship hall of Farmington First Baptist Church on Rhea Mill Rd. A standing room only crowd of family and friends enjoyed the event, including the evening meal provided by his parents Keith and Karen Lipford. A table full of his awards and mementos was displayed, as well as was collection of photos showing his life from infancy through graduation. He plans to attend the U of A and our best wishes go with him.
Eleven interested alumni members of Lincoln school met in the Presbyterian Church fellowship hall Tuesday evening and finalized plans for the upcoming Alumni reunion on Sunday, July 16, from 2 to 5 p.m. Looking back on the history of the reunion, we are reminded that 256 attended the first reunion in 1964, more than 100 from Lincoln and others from Ohio, California, Oklahoma, Kansas, Missouri, New Mexico and Texas as well as many from other Arkansas towns. With many classes since then with 50 or more members, surely we should have as many or more attending this year.
Sadly, there seems to be no hummingbirds so far. I've heard of only one sighting. Someone reported that the late cold snap caught them and froze them. If anyone sees some, please let me know. I'm already missing them.
Happy birthday to Kenneth Myers, John Latta, Harold Leo Reed, Jeanie Jones, Jack Patrick, Bobby Braly, Jason Moorman, Melissa Little, Kelly Loftin, Jim Griffin, Paul Braly, Cutter Cruikshank.
Happy anniversary to Rodney and Tracy Abshier, James and Wlima Myers, Kenneth and Sharon Davis, John and Linda Munyon, Josh and Kendra Moore, Millard and JoAnn Matthews.
Happy years, all!
