What is it that solidifies on person to another or one group of people to each other. I can understand brother loving, brother, mother loving child or any family member feel a special feeling for their relatives. I have three cousins, Randy, Cindy, and Dianne they were brothers and sisters of my aunt Pearline Cobbler. Jimmy Venable son of my uncle Grady, I understand why I love them so well. I understand me loving my daughter and wife like I do. I understand why I love others who have entered my life and are still there, if only in memory. I have many, many friends that I love whom I have no blood relations with but I love them in the same way as I love my family. Too name only a few, Stephanie, John and Jordan her children. Patsy Fuller who has gone beyond the call of duty when I have been hospitalized to make me comfortable. There are so many, too many to call each by name. Many, many Dr.’s that have kept me alive with their devotion to the Hippocratic oath or love for the human race and have stayed late or came in on their day off to treat me. This bond I understand. The class of 1962 is bonded more than a bond from a fraternity or sorority. As a Mason I am bound by oath to love other masons beyond that of my life. Again the class of 1962 is bonded greater than this. We are bonded by a greater pull than th of any spoken or unspoken feeling. Why? We come from all walks of life, from well to do the nary-do-wells. Yet we treat each other with respect and it seems that if one of us hurt the others also hurt the others hurt. We would and will go out of our way to make life better for the other. I have not heard, since school, one of the class degrade another of the class. When spoken of it is always with love and respect. What is that bond? Were our minds molded by the same teachers, is it that we honor the same god, If anyone in our class has any input into this feeling don’t hesitate to print, paint, stamp, stain, cut, carve, mark or engrave why we have this feeling or at least why I have this feeling. I know there is another side when this life aw we know it is ended. I hope some one can enlighten me with the answer. If this feeling is only felt by me please disregard the and it will self destruct 10 seconds after you log off. Clarence R. Potter Member of the class of 1962.
