Class of '78 30-year reunion in '08

This picture was from the 10-year reunion of the Class of 1978 at Decatur back in 1988. Gwen tells me there are plans underway for our 30-year reunion at the Train Depot in Newton in the summer of 2008. So start the diets!

Barbara Csaszar Beasely
1953 - 1995

Barbara left NHS around 1984 to move back to her hometown of Hattiesburg. She continued her teaching career there. She married a former classmate, Ricky, and they have two children. Being from a close knit family, she enjoyed very much being back in the area where most of her 6 siblings and her parents made their homes.

In November of 1994, she underwent surgery at the University of Alabama to repair a microstenosis valve to her heart. There were complications during her surgery (which led to further surgeries and procedures) and she did not wake up until January. This amazed all of her doctors, especially since she was very alert as well. Unfortunately, there were further complications and Barbara died February 25, 1995 at the age of 42. At the time, her daughter, Ana, was 7 years old and her son, Richard, was 4. Barbara adored her children, and as she did with many of us, worked hard to teach them something every day. ---Submitted by Julie Goodwin Rowzee.
