Many of you may have read this before...just want to share once again. A Philosophy on Life
A professor stood before his philosophy class and had some items in front of him. When the class began, he wordlessly picked up a very large and empty mayonnaise jar and proceeded to fill it with golf balls. He then asked the students if the jar was full. They agreed that it was.
The professor then picked up a box of pebbles and poured them into the jar. He shook the jar lightly. The pebbles rolled into the open area between the golf balls. He then asked the students again if the jar was full. They agreed it was.
The professor next picked up a box of sand and poured it into the jar. Of course, the sand filled up everything else. He asked once more if the jar was full. The students responded with a unanimous "yes."
The professor then produced two beers from under the table and poured the contents into the jar effectively filling the empty space between the sand. The students laughed.
"Now," said the professor as the laughter subsided, "I want you to recognize that this jar represents your life. The golf balls are the important things--your family, your children, your health, your friends and your favorite passions--and if everything else was lost and only they remained, your life would still be full.
The pebbles are the other things that matter like your job, your house and your car.
The sand is everything else--the small stuff. If you put the sand into the jar first," he continued, "there is no room for the pebbles or the golf balls. The same goes for life. If you spent all your time and energy on the small stuff you will never have room for the things that are important to you.
Pay attention to the things that are critical for your happiness. Spend time with your children. Spend time with your parents. Visit with grandparents. Take time to get medical checkups. Take your spouse out to dinner. Play another 18. There will always be time to clean the house and fix the disposal. Take care of the golf balls first--the things that really matter. Set your priorities. The rest is just sand."
One of the students raised her hand and inquired what the beer represented. The professor smiled and said, "I'm glad you asked. The beer just shows you that no matter how full your life may seem, there's always room for a couple of beers with a friend." ....Author unknown

1970 Class Profile
We have been on the internet since 2009 and have 85 Registered Members as of 4-10-12.
We want to share with everyone and welcome the newest additions to our Class Profile, Julie Laybourn (Francis), Robert (Bob) Burdekin, Barbara Thomas, Ed Uhles, William Asbell, Vivian Samuel, Krista Turner (Welch)
We continue to encourage everyone to add their profile to our class website. Many of us are on Facebook, however, there are still quite a few that are not and it is this website that they stop by to visit and to catch up. This is one particular page that everyone enjoys as they reflect on the photos (now/then), bios, and personal messages. In addition, some of our classmates are not able to travel due to health and family obligations that prevent them from attending events therefore; catching up via this page is meaningful and heartfelt! When you add your profile, please upload a 'now' photo of yourself if you have one. If not, you can always log in later to edit your profile once posted. If your senior picture is in the Radford yearbook, we will upload it as your 'then' photo. Even if you did not actually graduate from Radford, we still would like you to add your profile and comment whether you were a 'graduate' or 'classmate'.
Missing Classmates
Our quest to locate our classmates continues and we hope to locate (if not all) as many as we can. The commencement program lists 483 graduating seniors and to date, we have contact information for over 200 classmates. Besides those listed, there are many more that left before graduation because of a military transfer or, just moved to another district.
If anyone has any information on classmates listed on the missing classmate's page or classmates who would have graduated with us but left before graduation, please send them a message by clicking on the "Tell A Friend" tool below or, send us a message via the “Contact Us” page on this site and we will follow-up. Thank you!
