The family of Jane and Dean Crain gathered for a Dean’s 90th Birthday at Paris Landing, July 28. Dean told the Standard, they had family from as far away as New York and San Francisco attend. His wife Jane sent the Standard the interesting story about how she reunited with Dean at a class reunion and how they have been together ever since.
Jane said she first met Dean in September of 1950 at the new Stewart County High School. She said they were both a bit shy, but became friends. At their graduation, Jane said she won many awards for Mathematics and Dean was named, “Outstanding Senior Boy.”
Over two decades later, Jane said she and Dean attended their 25 year reunion in 1979 and reconnected. She said their former classmate Terry Byrd asked if there were any single people out there and both she and Dean raised their hands. Jane told the Standard, “I didn’t want to show my old friends a failed marriage, but I slowly raised my hand, I saw Dean’s hand go up too. We met at the end of the table. Thank you Terry!”…
