Class of 1971
Jim Showalter (1971) and Kay Krause were married in Stillwater, Oklahoma, at Jim’s home church. The public ceremony was cancelled because of the virus, so, on the Spring Equinox, March 19, with two friends as witnesses plus their minister, Kay and Jim were married. Kay and Jim were the only ones within six feet of each other. They broadcast it on Facebook and are above 300 views (lots of bored people these days). They have stayed at Jim’s home in Stillwater, Oklahoma, all spring, renovating the home, but, in June, they plan to move and make their permanent home at Kay’s home on the prairie of the Flint Hills in Kansas.
