"Thanks
for sharing your comments about kewpie.net, The
Kewpie Gathering Place. 2011-01-21 - Thank you for all you
have done on Kewpie.net. This year marked my 20 year reunion as a
graduate of 1990…and I really enjoyed being able to look back at the
old Cresset pictures since almost all of my yearbooks were destroyed
in a basement flood. While I am unable at this time to donate to the
Kewpie Scholarship fund to be able to see the old pics, I just
wanted to say it was fun while it lasted… Thank you for all you do
for not only the alumni, but for future Kewpies.

I just wanted to tell you that I think what you’ve done with the Hickman High School web site is very impressive. I hope that the people who benefit from your efforts appreciate all the work it took to do what you’ve accomplished. And that’s from one Systems Analyst to another.} Thanks to you, I found (and now have a printout of) my mother’s Senior Picture from HHS. That picture didn’t exist in my family album until today. Thank you so much! This all started because I ran across an “old” picture in a box in my garage today. It took a minute, but then I realized it must be a picture taken at my mother’s 25th Hickman High School Reunion. I’d never seen it before, but I remembered that about the same time I graduated from Paris High School (1958), my mother planned for weeks to go to her 25th HHS reunion. She came back delighted that she’d gone. Everyone had changed, but they were all better friends than they had been in high school. I did a count, and (barring miscounts), 56 of the original 172 classmates attended.
My mother [Ruth (Marie) Shaw - “Red”] was born in May 1914, graduated from HHS in 1933, married in Feb 1939 [becoming Ruth (Shaw) Wood, after marrying Charles Thomas Wood] gave birth to me [Thomas Shaw Wood] in Sep 1940, attended her 25th HHS Reunion in 1958, and died of complications from diabetes in Oct 1970, at age 56. Of course there’s a whole lot more to her life than that, but that’s enough for now. She’s the woman in the Reunion picture fifth from the right, on the next-to-back row, wearing a necklace. I also marked the margins of the picture with four black lines – line up the left and right marks to define the vertical location, and the top and bottom lines to define the horizontal location. The woman in the crosshairs is my mother.
I’ve attached both my mother’s Senior picture from 1933 (thanks to you), and the picture of her 25th Hickman High School Reunion in 1958 (for you).
Thanks for doing what you’re doing, and for talking with me this afternoon. Tom Wood PS: My mother’s older sister, Mildred Shaw, Class of 1927, also had the nickname “Red.”
