Conference Attendees from 1960 - 1962

The 2008 conference begins 3 weeks from today. Are you ready? Detroit is ready for you! OK ladies, it time to go shopping for that knock-out outfit for the banquet. The attire for that event is formal/after five. So you have three weeks to find just the right thing.

The following individuals from the classes of 1960, 1961, and 1962 are ready. So join John Trammel, Deloris Cagins, Christler Chaffee, Erlexia L. Johnson, Emma S. Jordan, Barbara B. Quinn, Christine L. Simmons, Dora P. Simpson, Mary L. Smith, Larry Claiborne, James Clark, Pearl Clark, Sheral A. Jones, James U. Paige, Celia G. Pearson, Bertha L. Reed,Willie N. Simpson, Grace S. Smith, Emma B. Stamps, Elnois Tucker, James L. Tucker, Queen C. Van Norman, Mary R. Wiley, Doris Williams, Malvin A. Williams, and Tina Williams in stepping up and stepping out in style. While these folks were studying and hanging out on the "yard", what else was going on? John F. Kennedy was elected President, Alan Shepard made the first U.S space flight, and four students from North Carolina A & T begin sit-in at a segregated Woolworth lunch counter. The first Walmart was opened in 1962 in Bentonville, AR. We could make breakfast for the entire family for less than $1.50 with bacon at 67 cents a pound, eggs at 30 cents a dozen and make biscuits with flour at 49 cents for a 5 pound bag. After eating a big breakfast, we could exercise it all off by dancing to Chubby Checker's songs: "The Twist", "Huckebuck", "Pony Time" and "Limbo Rock". We lost weight because there was a"Whole Lotta Shaken Goin'On".
