MESSAGE FROM BOB REAGAN: when people ask me how long i've been married, my immediate response is, "27 happy years and 27 out of 42 ain't bad." well, today is my 42nd anniversary, and to celebrate ann and i went to a B&B in pearisburg, va, tuesday thru today.
the B&B is the inn at river bend, and you need to check it out at www.innatriverbend.com it is sooooo nice and very reasonably priced. the view shown on the website does not do it justice.
the reason i'm telling you this is because this morning i visited with one of the residents of pearisburg, margaret phlegar. if that name doesn't ring a bell, get out your 1958 maroon and grey and look at the picure of your sophomore english teacher.
MISS PHLEGAR celebrated her 96th birthday two weeks ago, and she is in reasonably good health for her age. i could tell she did not remember me, but we had a great visit. she did light up when i mentioned the names of some of her fellow DB faculty members to include ROBERT FANSLOW, BLANCHE CRIGGER, BOB DEVAULT, DR. ELERY LAY.
thought you all might like to hear about one of my all-time favorite teachers. hope everyone has a great fourth of july weekend.
BOB REAGAN
