An Invitation

by Pam Branch Church-Hart, Class of 67

JORDAN FALCONS FLY HOME TO NEST !!

50 YEARS AGO WE WERE LET GO

FROM JHS TO FACE THE WORLD, TO LEARN AND TO GROW

FILLED WITH SPECIAL MEMORIES BOTH HAPPY AND SAD

THEN FRIENDS BEHIND 

KNOWING FULL WELL WE HAD A LOT TO FIND....

ALL DIFFERENT THEN WITH OUR OWN JOURNEYS TO FOLLOW

TWISTS AND TURNS IN EACH OF OUR LIVES HAVE GIVEN US ALL PLENTY OF LIFE TO SWALLOW

IN 1973 WE VEERED AFAR - YET IN 2023....HERE WE ARE!

NO LONGER DIFFERENT...WE ARE MUCH MORE THE SAME

BECAUSE IN 50 YEARS WE HAVE ALL PLAYED A SIMULAR GAME

IT WILL BE A TREAT TO HUDDLE AS A TEAM ON THE JHS FIELD -

"PUSHING BACK" ALL THESE YEARS TO YIELD:

OUR PERSONAL HISTORIES WITH LAUGHTER AND A FEW TEARS

HAVING COME BACK TO NEST AND

PROVING THE WE HAVE PASSED OUR JHS LAUNCHING TEST

STRAIGHT A'S FOR ALL FACE TO FACE, KNOWNING WE NO LONGER HAVE TO RACE

AND MOST IMPORTANTLY AS WE RETURN TO ROOST IN THE JHS NEST

WE ARE ENTITLED TO HAVE FUN AND REST, REST, REST !!

PLEASE DON'T MISS

JHS CLASS OF 1973

RECONNECTING IN ALL THE RIGHT WAYS

LET'S MAKE THESE SOME OF OUR MOST GLORIOUS DAYS !!
