	Mrs. Evelyn Decker Wester ’46 In 1925, I was born in the Whiton Community in DeKalb County, Alabama.

	Mrs. Sara Ingram Wiggins ’41 I received a BS in Music Education in 1941 and a MS in General Education in 1944. I am currently living in Montgomery, Alabama. I taught school for 39 years and enjoyed every minute. I took courses at six universities over the course of my teaching career. I am 95 years old. I remember the first world war, the second world war, and all the others including the one we are in now. I love my country and want the best for it as everyone else but sometimes as of now, I am very worried. I remember dealing with the hardships caused by the banks closing during the Depression. I remember sliding off slick muddy roads when we got our first automobile. I remember when I first saw television. At college we had earphones to listen to the TV. We would have a room full of college girls and only six earphones, so we passed them around and had a wonderful time. I enjoy history and politics and I read several weekly news magazines. I enjoy my friends and we play bridge twice a week at the senior center. I am the oldest in my group and I appreciate their letting me play. I especially love visiting and talking with people.
