Looking so forward to seeing everyone on the reunion weekend. I didn't get to graduate with you all in 1975, as my Dad's job took us to North Carolina at the end of our junior year. But I always considered you all as my high school classmates. I have remained in touch with Mary Ann (Yarbrough) Watkins and Alice (Nickens) Dant over the years. Have been fortunate enough to return for a reunion or 2 also. I relocated to Columbus, Ohio in 1978 to go to nursing school. I had a wonderful career at THE Ohio State University Medical Center for 30+ years. Have been retired for over 10 years. I have 2 kids, my daughter is a nurse, and my son is a graphic designer. Both live here in Columbus. Hope to see all of you in September!! :)

Lord, I looked over the "Memorials" page, and there are so many names I recognize there. Some I've known since elementary school [Tracy Cooke (I remember going to her sixth or seventh Birthday party). I went to church with Bonnie Barriger, Dale Shuck & Jay Womack. Doug Orr was cool. I remember Iyota (my mom tutored her). In my wild days, I ran around with "Hattie" (David Hatfield). Of course, Lord, you know all these things. Thinking about my school career, I think it is well said "Nobody enjoyed (enjoys) Middle School/Junior High" (Russell Moore). Lord, please bless those who've gone before us. Lord, please bless those still fighting this battle called "LIFE". Lord, thanks for being in CONTROL ! ! ! In Jesus' Name, Amen
