Edmond, OK, residents Ben and Anne Griswold hosted a noontime gathering for Wewoka, OK, high school classmates and guests at their home on Friday, July 23. Some 25 graduates from 1954 to 1958 and guests attended the luncheon. Most of the attendees brought side dishes and numerous deserts to augment the smoked ham and pulled pork dishes provided by the hosts.

The group spent the time reminiscing about school activities, telling tales many of which were enhanced beyond actuality and remembering favorite teachers who served as mentors for laterin-life careers. Another highlight of the event was touring Master Gardener Anne Griswold’s spectacular backyard flower garden.

The noon luncheon activity was initiated by 1958 Wewoka graduate Joe Don Cole and his wife Margie (Oklahoma City residents) as a way to stay in touch with life-long high school friends. The group meets periodically at the home of a member or a local restaurant to renew friendships, share family happenings and swap stories, some of which are stretched – but all in good fun.
