We seem to all be suffering a common problem these days, WHERE DID OUR LIVES GO? Our brains seem to still be 18, but our bodies are talking a different language. Sarah Orne Jewett puts it much more eloquently than do I:

“Neither of my companions was troubled by her burden of years. I hoped in my heart that I might be like them as I lived on into age, and then smiled to think that I too was no longer very young. So we always keep the same hearts, though our outer framework fails and shows the touch of time.”

Mina Hohlen has died awhile ago. Another KHS65 girl gone too soon.

 While I did not know Mina at KHS, reading her obituary makes me wish I had.  What an interesting life she led!  Here is her obituary I found after news of her death reached us courtesy of a neighbor who was kind enough to contact our Reunion Committee upon receiving the post card mailing announcing our recent picnic.

May she be resting in peace.

Lynn Jerner Jones, another of our sweet girls leaving us before she should ~ October 2, 2024

 Some of us will remember the department stores in town (Famous Barr & Stix in particular) had a teenage Fashion Board group which was recruited to be ombudsmen to the community of young folks aka teenagers for the stores.  One had to audition for the Fashion Board, and I'm pretty sure my memory is correct that Lynn was one...I'm sure I have something in our KHS65 archives which would prove my memory correct.  In more recent years I learned she had joined our local chapter of United Daughters of the Confederacy so I called and chatted with her.  Unfortunately I never did succeed in encouraging her to attend a meeting, but she did have some health/dietary challenges that made 'lunch out with the girls' not so doable.  At any rate, we had lovely chats.  She and Fairfax lived in Glendale for many years but unfortunately she never did attend any of our KHS65 reunion activities...  now it is too late to woo her into joining us for our 2025 upcoming 60th reunion.  We will though remember all of those who have gone before us so she will not be forgotten.

Here is the link to her obituary :  https://www.legacy.com/us/obituaries/stltoday/name/lynn-jones-obituary?id=56469151
