Louella Cherry Spencer, P.I.

Some things I learned from talking with “newly found” classmates by Louella Cherry Spencer:

Janet McBirney Childs – I went to Normal Park, Northside, and CHS with Janet so it was so fun to find her and chat. She is excited about the reunion and has kept in touch with Carol Cameron Ackerson. Janet has 5 grandchildren.

Pat Donica Crawford – Pat lives in Missouri near Branson and works at Silver Dollar City theme park. She has two daughters. Pat is quite a seamstress and has made a class flag for the reunion.

Neill Brown Sargent has been in GA for about 40 years and has two daughters and three grandchildren. She does not know if she will be able to come to the reunion as her husband has been ill, but she is interested in information about it.

Iris Kaplowitz Tashbar – Iris now lives in Waynesboro, PA. She and I did not talk long because her dog or dogs were barking but she wanted reunion information.

Carolyn Gash Shumate – Carolyn lives in Marietta, GA. She has two daughters and was interested in reunion information and wants to attend.

Martha Hassler Hammond – lives near the Belmont Mansion in Nashville. She has had some health problems but hopes to hear about the reunion on the blog.

Mary Alice Gilbert Lamb “Sug” – lives in Nashville. Sug has plans to attend her husband’s reunion the same weekend as ours but has decided to try to attend ours on Friday and then go to his on Saturday. She was a social worker for years.

Linda Beavers Simcox – Moved to SC about 5 years ago. She has 3 children and 5 grandchildren. She said Dan Anderson used to always call her about reunions. She hopes to attend.

Carolyn Clayton Davidson – lives in Hixson but had not heard of a reunion in the past. Her annual was lost in a flood some years back. She seemed interested in attending.

Audra Dyer – moved from PA to Myrtle Beach, SC. She has kept in touch with Charlotte Colburn Tinnon as they have known each other since they were 12 years old. Audra has had some health problems but would love to attend the reunion.

Mary Shacklett – has changed her name to Jesse Jordan, as she feels it suits her better. She says she has had an interesting life - lived on an island in the South Pacific for 5 years, then in Hawaii for 10 years, before settling down here in Portland, Oregon. She is happy on her little farm in the city which she shares with 2 dogs, 2 cats and 10 chickens. After working for 26 years at a Juvenile Rights Project, she retired 5 months ago.
