Richard, let me know what you think of it!

Jean E. Ziglar

Dianne,

I would love to read your book but I do not order on line.  If I can buy it from you, I will do so.  Sorry, but my Visa

was compromised on line so I am weary of ever doing it again.

Thank you.  Maybe you have a suggestion.  I'm turning 78 in march and feel it would be to my advantage to read it.

Dianne, well written and an inspiring story.  I enjoyed your comments regarding having your mate and or family members with you during Doctors appointments. Following up on prescriptions and interactions. Thanks 

Margaret Clayton

Mine was delivered this morning.  Can hardly wait to read it.

Dianne Pfefferkorn (Hobbs)

Thanks for the feedback Charlie!

Dianne Pfefferkorn (Hobbs)

I'm so glad you found the book helpful. It was nice of you to let me know. Hope you're well and happy!

Diane,

I've just finished your book, & I'm both appalled & amazed.  Appalled at what happened to you & amazed at your intelligence, courage & strength in dealing with a truly unbelievable situation.

May you have a long, healthy & happy life.

May I add one more comment on Dianne's fine book, on reading it more closely? 

She has done everyone a great favor by chronicling her descent into medical purgatory and her emergence from it, with her intelligence, grit and charm intact.  

Medical folks need to read this -- a 'how-to' and 'how-not-to' primer. For the rest of us, it's a roadmap to dealing with great adversity.  Thank you, Dianne!

Dianne, I read your book as soon as I got it, and I so much appreciate your writing of your experiences, and how you and your loved ones managed to pull through this horrible experience. I have a granddaughter in nursing school and I plan to send her a copy.  Now every time I get into an awkward situation, such as getting down on the floor to look for something and trying to figure out how to get back up, I ask myself "What would Dianne do?".  You have given us wonderful insight and encouragement for managing the "adventures" of aging. Hope you continue to improve, and you continue your writing.

Search on only: "Losing My Mind" for her book.

Had trouble finding it on Amazon until I used just that main title!

Carol Mowery (Willis)

Just got my books in the mail for me and putter. Will be reading on our trip to Fla to see daughter. Looking forward to it. The reviews are wonderful.  You are an Amazon and talented lady❤️C

Kathleen Traylor (Sink)

Diane, I ordered my copy today. I am anticipating reading it, but with some anxiety. My mother-in-law was diagnosed with early onset Alzheimer's at age 53, and she lived in a state of slow decline until she died 20 years later. Accounts of people who have this terrible disease are very difficult for me because I worry for my husband. So far he is fine, but that kernel of fear is always present. Nevertheless, I do look forward to learning the story of your determination and courage in the face of an erroneous and devastating diagnosis. 

Philip D. Hightower

DIANNE,

MY COMPLIMENTS ON A WELL WRITTEN, SAD BUT GREAT ENDING STORY OF YOUR SAGA.  HALLELUJAH FOR YOUR PERSEVERENCE AND STAMINA TO GET BACK TO YOUR SUCCESSFUL LIFE. I HURT FOR YOU THAT YOU LOST THE LOVE OF YOUR LIFE, JUDE. I JUST REGRET THAT IT TOOK YOU SO LONG TO GET HIM OUT OF YOUR LIFE. I KNOW I SHOULD HAVE SOME COMPASSION FOR HIM AS HE IS SUFFERING FROM HIS OWN DEMONS.  I AM JUST SORRY HE TOOK HIS PROBLEMS OUT ON YOU WHO IS A GREAT LADY, FRIEND AND CLASSMATE OF MINE. GOD BLESS YOU DIANNE AND MAY HE OUR LORD AND SAVIOUR BE WITH YOU ALWAYS! CUDOS TO YOUR SON AND FAMILY WHO HAVE STOOD BESIDE YOU ALL THE WAY THROUGH THIS ORDEAL!

I was so very sad to hear about the passing of our dear classmate and friend, Steve Blake. I can still see him laughing and welcoming everyone at our last reunion. We never know when it will be our time to be called home, but more than ever,  I feel the urgency to make a difference while I still can... Gratitude to Steve for the man he was, for the life he lived, and for his reminding me that there is still time to do God's work... Steve, you will be missed but fondly remembered... Pam Bain Davis

I have really enjoyed all the pictures posted of the 60th class reunion.  It hardly seems possible that 60 years have passed since we walked across the Reynolds stage, excited and looking forward to the unknown future.  I wish I could have joined you this time, but living in California, I just couldn't face another cross country flight with canccelled connections and luggage problems.  One such trip in June was all I could face this year.  Love the pictures - everyone looked very happy and it was so good to see all the familiar faces.  Some of you just don't seem to age at all.  Jewel Hill still looks just like she did when we went to Old Town together!  I am doing well here on the coast of California, enjoying the beautiful weather and planning some future trips - I hope to see some of you next year when I plan to come back for a visit.  Congratulations on a happy 60th Reunion!

Linda Longworth (Couch)

Loved seeing all the reunion photos - what a group !!!

Dianne Pfefferkorn (Hobbs)

Our 65th was wonderful!  I loved renewing friendships and sharing memories with each of you. I haven't laughed so much in a long time! Just looking at all the pictures brings back all the moments! How did this class turn out so special and still young?  I love all of you. 

Pam Bain (Davis)

Our 60th reunion was such fun, and if you were not there, you were surely missed. Needless to say, we were all happy to be there to see each other and to share the good memories that we had in our youth at dear old Reynolds. Of course, none of us had changed because we are now not only blind but also just happy to be alive. We all realized how grateful we were to Cam and her "angel committee" for taking all the time to organize such a fabulous event. Winston-Salem has changed and is a thriving, happening city with a modern class! we certainly enjoyed our evening at "Roar", a new experience for all us old folk. It was a four story facility with virtual games, restaurants, and of course, bars...Then our next event was held at the Dize Camp that we all frequented during our Youth. It was de ja vu and memories of all kinds were streaking through our heads... The main thing was we were all together to enjoy each other for possibly the last time... Thank you to everyone who took part in the organization and happening of this amazing event. Love you all, Pam Davis 🥰

Linda Brewer (Hammett)

Just wanted to thank everyone who was involved in planning the 60th reunion and all previous reunions. They always do a geat job. It was good to see everyone to reminisce about the past and catch up on the present. Those unable  to attend were missed.  Had a great time. Take care. Linda Brewer Hammett

James C. Reavis

Thank everyone for sharing all of these wonderful pictures of our reunion so pleasant to view our folks.

Blessings to all

Many many thanks to Cam and the others who organized and carried out the wonderful activities of our 60th reunion.  Despite the uncertainties of an impending tropical storm, you all pulled off a fun event which enabled us to relax and enjoy visiting with our classmates.  I for one am extremely grateful for all your efforts on our behalf.  It will long be remembered as a stellar occasion in the history of our RJR Class of 1962.  

Pam Bain (Davis)

I want to congratulate Phil Hightower for recently being inducted into the R J Reynolds Sports Hall of Fame. Since many in our class of 1962 are living a distance from Winston-Salem and could not attend the event,  I wanted to speak for all in thanking Phil, Bubba, and Reid for their talent, spirit, persistence, and determination in taking our Black Deamons across that line to victory... Our memories of those days are so enhanced by that school spirit that we shared through our sports. 
Phil, continue to do all that you have done. Stay healthy, and ENJOY!
Pam Bain Davis👏

Deep Thoughts: My First 50 Essays: Stuff I Think I’m Sure I Know Paperback

Over the past eight decades, the author has seen, heard and experienced a lot. He has passed through being merely old and has entered the hallowed status of elder. He is enjoying the delusion that this status means the other folks might be interested in his takes on the wide variety of subjects that have been informed by this lifetime of experience. This book therefore includes short essays on subjects from sports to politics to shoe stores to popular music to wine to generations to teens and eBook formats

by Stephen Sulkin (Author), Andrew Coleman (Editor), Joan Coleman (Illustrator)

and everything in between – and more. Naturally not everyone will agree with everything he opines, but hopefully, everyone can find something to enjoy, and/or grind their teeth over.

• About the author:
• Steve Sulkin is a retired marine biology professor who directed marine biological labs on Chesapeake Bay and the Puget Sound basin. He published more than 50 scientific papers and served as an editor for an international scientific journal. That said, his experience in scientific writing has no relevance to his book. Scientific writing is not funny, at least not on purpose. This book reflects Steve’s desire to be more creative and opine on many (many) subjects.  He suffers under the delusion that his diverse life experiences inform opinions that others may find interesting, even enlightening. And he is willing to test that theory in this book
• In addition to writing, Steve's other creative endeavors include landscape and seascape painting and a large model railroad, photos of which have appeared in hobby journals.
