This is a gathering place for Dobyns Bennett High School Class of 1960... We continue to gather once a month at O'Charley's Restaurant on Eastman Road Kingsport Tn, around 20 or more each month. It is really neat that after all these years, we continue to build on our friendships and love to gather together! If you graduated with us, a year or two before us or after us, we would love to see you! I'm sure we would have a lot to talk about! Please consider joining us for First Friday!!

December 8, 2012

Good afternoon, DBers around the world!     (It is 1:45 p.m., Saturday, December 8th here in East Tennessee.)

 I've had something this week, although I'm loathe to call it the flu, apparently that is what it was.  I haven't had the flu in years and years!!!   Anyway, I am feeling better (i.e. I got up today, got dressed, took dog for SHORT walk, drove to nearest Dollar General to get toilet paper, paper towels, kleenex! You know, the important stuff!).  But I didn't make the First Friday lunch yesterday.  And I was bummed about that.

Linda Robinson called me from O'Charley's and said there were 14 or so there, and they were having lots of fun visiting.  Sometimes it is nice to have fewer, so you can visit individually a bit.  Anyway, she was saying that Jim Gee had come, so that was a happy surprise!

Hopefully I will find out who the others were that attended! 

CHRISTMAS GATHERING AT Kathy Morse Parham's is set for Friday, December 14th at 6 p.m.
Please bring a dish to share, come visit with everyone, and enjoy the beautiful Christmas decorations. Kathy has an enormous tree decorated beautifully.




At Thanksgiving, I had so much to be thankful for, but I have to say that my left leg (broken tibial plateau) healed up beautifully making me most grateful!!  I was having a bit of a problem, scooting up the steps to the computer room! 

I was happy recently to see that one of our own, Jane Beck Harris, was presented FOR THE SECOND YEAR IN A ROW, the Sertoma Club's Service to Mankind Award.   Way to go, Jane!  I am extremely proud of everything she has done and continues to do for our community and through Red Cross, around the nation!

Many of you have been telling me that you have not been getting the google group emails.  I will try from now on to post everything I write in the google email to this blog.  That way, you can check in and see what's happening without waiting for a google email! 

God bless us everyone!
