It was time. It was supposed to be just our 50th reunion blog for the Mt. Morris High School class of 1957. Now we’re past 60 years since we graduated! I really appreciate those who contributed stories and photos—Mike Balluff the class president is a great story teller--but recently it was being referred to as “Norma’s blog.” I figured it was time to close the diary (which I actually did in 2010, but I kept updating it so often, I finally went back to occasional posting as there was news). Before I closed it, I pulled out the updates from 2010 and made them separate entries, mostly obituaries, making them easier to find.
Facebook really made blogs obsolete, and Twitter is eating Facebook’s lunch, that said, I think Mt. Morris has at least 4 FB pages plus a webpage. Not bad for a small town of less than 3,000 with no high school or elementary school. At this blog I write on approximately 15 topics, of which Mt. Morris, education, business, medicine, retirement, church, books, films, fashion, food, family, health, etc. are in there with what’s going on in the world. There’s really a lot of variety also in the 1957 class blog, some funny posts and some sad. And all the women were beautiful and the men all had hair!

Yesterday I cleaned out several boxes of negatives from our collective photo albums and found a bunch from the 1950s. If I find anything pertinent (and someone who still develops b & w), I’ll back date them and add to the class blog.
