The speaker for our gathering was Kim Landmon, a Mableton native with 30 years of experience in the Navy. With a Navy rank of Senior Chief Petty Officer, she worked in health care as a Radiologic Technologist. She described for us some of her experience in Afghanistan where she had many challenges with the imaging technology available in that country.

Our lunch was barbecue sandwich sack lunches from Wallace Barbecue. Allen and Mrs Arnold greet the group. Allen was our Chiropractor for many years and now we go to his son Tripp.

We had a relaxed lunch period around the tables with a game about history in 1959, their year of graduation.
