I had flowers sent for the Class of 1964.  They were all green and white with a ribbon indicating "Hokes Bluff High School - Class of 1964."  Several folks commented on how thoughtful and nice the arrangement was.  James had a mild heart attack a week before the Saturday attack but did nothing about it.  His brother said that he felt like he would be OK without going to a doctor.   While Allegra and I were viewing James, she made the comment that she felt like it all was a dream and that any second he would rise up and ask "what are all these folks doing here?"   She said that he had many times talked about the class reunion and how well he enjoyed meeting everyone again.
