Ok, just wondering here… but just because we had a 25th Class Reunion doesn’t mean that people can stop putting posts on the Blog! Am I the only one who is noticing this, Les? I guess I am one of the other 3 that reads the Blog. Hope EVERYONE out there is doing well! Happy Turkey Day to all you TURKEYS out there…Ha! (j/k) God Bless All of you and take care! Keep in touch!

L8r,

Hey Les!  Thanks for the update.  I guess I’m one of the “three”.  I was starting to wonder when the stuff was going to be mailed out.  I check the website often.  I’ve really enjoyed it.  Thanks to all who have worked on it etc!  I miss you guys.  It sure is getting cold up here in Ohio.  Florida is sounding really good right now.  Did you guys end up having a “post” reunion get together?  Anyway, thanks again.  Take care everybody!

Sounded like the attendance was good and everyone had a good time.  Unfortunately, I was also unable to attend due to a new job and very little vacation time built up yet.   I decided to retire from the AF after 20 years in the B-52 and see if I could make enough to send my kids to college (Scott 18 and Anna Kate 14).  I was impressed with the number of folks that where on the “planning to attend” list and was sorry I couldn’t make it.  I looked at the “then” pictures and it took me back to taking a lot of them for the yearbook and the fun times we all had staging some of the photos (Clark Harju and Karen Cofer pretending to do homework, Karen probably did, but I don’t remember Clark ever doing any).  I have not been the best with keeping up with folks and its been since high school for most, I hope to re-establish some and catch up on the news.   I hope everyone got home safe and I plan to attend the 30^th in 2011.  My email is Dcrawfordbc@aol.com or Smdpslost@yahoo.com.

Hello everyone.  It sounds like the reunion was absolutely perfect!  Wonderful job to all of you who worked so hard to pull this off!  I am so sorry that I couldn’t attend.  I have enjoyed the website and the blog so much…really makes me miss those wonderful days on Racetrack Road!  I got my yearbooks out the other day, and despite all the snickering from my three sons (Derek-11; Adam 10 and Ethan 6) I enjoyed a few hours of quiet time just remembering!  We live outside of Boston now…anyone else in this area?  Drop me a note if you get a chance, I’d love to hear how everyone is doing Lgrammer@trinepharma.com.  I won’t miss the next one!

What a Reunion!!!  Whew!  I can`t begin to tell you how much fun I had seeing All of you! And Rita has it pegged…after so many years, I actually made a few friends who weren`t in my circle at school…..for instance, how many of you know Bill Dixon gets paid to be a bad guy? Yep, he wraps a towel around his head, all in the name of teaching our young soldiers to protect our country…..He could`ve told me more, but it`s all hush-hush!  I met lawyers,doctors,computer nerds,business owners,pilots,Contractors,(did I mention Lawers?), Mommy`s & Dad`s(BEAUTIFUL CHILDREN!!!)and a few realestate moguls! OH! And one really good-lookin`Massage Therapist!  My only regret was not having enough time to talk with everyone as long as I`d have liked too.  For the local classmates, I figured the chances of running into you are a bit greater than seeing  our traveling Indians!  That is sad, if you think about it, as even though we live within a few miles of each other, how often do we get a chance to hang out!?!?  Speaking of which, does everyone know that homecoming is next Fri…the last home game?
There seems to be an interest in the wind to have a Beach Party, within the next month, for a job well done.  I have access to a Beach-house that would be perfect…if you are interested, please contact me personally, and I`ll give you particulars.  It`s on the intracoastal(calm water), has a nice dock I built with a 36X16 upper-deck(awesome sunsets) with dock-slips for 10+ boats.  Navarre public boat-launch is but 8/9 minutes away. I know we`ll have a couple  jet-skis there, and more are welcome.   Since it`s a private home, I was thinking a  Bonfire might be nice in the evening?   The  tent would be up, and there are a couple grills.  Then there is the matter of a bunch of beer I need finished off!!

One last time, I`d like to thank Mitzi for just being awesome!  Somehow, with her business, managing a home and being a Mom, she found the time to polish all the rough edges for the Reunion!  If I told you how many hours she put into your Reunion, you would think I was kidding.  On reflection, you`d realize that I`m not, and see how truly dedicated she is to our class.  Little did she know when she offered her help in the beginning what was in store!!!! Hah!!!  Let`s not forget her family….Jeff and lovely Jessica(how `bout that voice!) helped stuff bags, called classmates, and helped with design for the Reunion!  Even 11 yr old Michael got to stay-up late a few nights stuffing bags!  A gentle young man who, if he ever figures out how big he is gonna be, could lead Choctaw to a State Title in football! Thanks to them all from the Class!!!!!

With all the wordy classmates we have, I am surprised the Blog isn`t getting more use!!!  Dale is working on making something special here on the site, where classmates can download pictures, as well as copy them onto their computer!

David is working on finishing the DVD to mail to the classmates.  We are awaiting your Reunion Pictures….PLEASE be prompt with that….They are to be sent to David Lambert at the address listed here.  WE ARE COUNTING ON YOU for these pictures!

Thank you all for coming! I can say with certainty, that I will never have so many sing Happy B`day again…Thank you!!!!
Sincerely,

To Mitzi and Les, you guys deserve a standing ovation for putting on an outstanding event.  You have my sincerest gratitude.  And to think that I even entertained not going.  It was wonderful to see and talk to everyone again.  Especially those of us who grew up in Poquito Bayou. To Blake Kresl and Will Scott, I will never be able to look at a dill pickle again without laughing.  For all of you who look like you may have been cryogenically frozen, Diana Koch and I want to know who your cryogenicist is. To Lee Sowell, we have got to get a copy of the Patty Hearst video.  Cathy Hannah, I love you sweetie.  One of the most interesting things that happened at the reunion is talking to and getting to know the people I didn’t know in high school.  Laura Partin (keep on running girl), Bill Dixon (Let me know if Rocky Horror ever comes to town), and Lilli Forbrich (You have a special place in my heart).  You guys helped create some new memories along with the old and it was fun!  The whole experience reminded me that life was beautiful, life is beautiful, and life can be as beautiful as we make it.  My love to you all and thank you.
