Pinky Boman lost his bout with cancer at approximately 3:30 PM CST today, November 16, 2008
Pinky had been diagnosed with stage four stage four pancreatic cancer and admitted to Bothwell Regional Medical
Center, in Sedalia, November 2.  Pinky turned 69, November 14, two days before his passing.
The Class of 1957 has lost one of its great guys.  He will be missed.

The following is part of a message sent by his daughter D'Ann.

I would like to thank all of you who shared emails with my father and made him a part of your life. 
He will be missed terribly. 
 
He dances with Jesus today and will never feel pain again.  God is good.

Good News
 Lizz Scott Given announces the Class of '57 Scholarship Fund
has exceeded the first goal of $10,000.00.  A gift of $6,000.00
took the total to a little over $11,000.00.
-
 Donations are still encouraged as interest rates make it impossible
 to fund a $500 scholarship at this time.  The goal is $20,000.00.
