I BELIEVE
Don B. Landing

 

 It does not matter when I go,
Nor how nor why.
Each day a million roses blow,

A million die.
For every bird that lives to sing,

A song is stilled.
I go…a brief remembering...
My place is filled.

I’ll live and love and dine and drink

The while I may
And when my number’s called, I Think

I’ll say “O. K.”

’63 Kewpie,

I am a lucky, lucky man in many ways, but one of which has to do with Hickman High School Kewpies. There is something that I have been a part of that perhaps you have not experienced. For the last three years I have been honored to do a memorial slideshow for the classes behind us from; 1960, 1961 and just a week ago last Saturday the Class of 1962. Each time it has hit a little closer to home. What I feel in that room while they are together honoring 50 or more of their deceased classmates is tearful, yet it is a loving and coming together experience that I have felt for these three classes. But also I have shared this very spiritual time with other Kewpie classes back to the class I honored two years ago at the 65th Reunion of the class that graduated the year we were born. Please don’t miss our 50th reunion if there is any way you can manage to attend!

Most of you know me well enough to have probably said to yourself, Charley Blackmore is not going to be responsible for our class being the first to not have a 50th reunion. What was I thinkin’? Please be a part of this great time in our lives! Come share some time with all of those who are a part of the great class of Kewpies of 1963 and at one time were a big part of your life. Be there to enjoy the coming together one more time for us, old friends, the lucky ones, but also as a time to honor the lives of those Kewpies who are no longer with us and those great Veterans of our class at this 50th Reunion.

I feel like Kevin Costner standing in the middle of a corn field in Iowa, when he heard a voice, “if you build it, they will come.” And I don’t believe you will let me down, so I am going to build it and all you have to do is come!

An email containing details of all activities, etc. will soon be coming to your email box. In the meantime got to http://www.kewpie.net/1963.html and help me by “taking care of business” like I am going to be doing for the next 12 months to make this a reunion you will be proud to have attended.

Please do what you can to contact any classmates you know who have not said they will come and try to encourage them to do so! Thank you, I do appreciate you understanding and your support!

Love & best wishes,
Charley
