Another Alternative 

For Purchasing 

Reunion Photos

Hello everyone. Hope you all are doing well. Talked to Brianna Davis, the photographer, and she said if you are having difficulty downloading the images and figuring out the store, she would be willing to do the following. She would purchase some USB, download the images and send the USB by mail to your house. You then could use the USB at any printing location and print the images directly through them. You would have to pay a fee for the USB and mailing. If you are interested in this, please call or text Brianna Davis at 940-613-4886. Not 940-613-3886

For those of you that aren't as techie, this might be the way to go. LIKE ME!

THE REUNION IS STILL ON!!!

The decision was made that we would not cancel the reunion unless the venues were forced to close and/or were limiting the number of people. We have checked with them, they are not closing and nor limiting the number of people; therefore, we are having the the reunion as planned. All venues have outdoor seating available. Masks are not mandatory, but anyone is welcome to wear one. We are taking as many protocols as we can.

The Health Department of Wichita County announced last week that 90% of the people hospitalized had not been vaccinated. Those that have been vaccinated are, for the most part, either a symptomatic or have a very light case. We are allowing each individual to decide as to how they want to proceed. Some good preventives are to take Vitamin C and Zinc and/or get that 3rd shot

We are proceeding as planned.

The Reunion is September 24-26, 2021.

SEE YOU IN SEPTEMBER!!!

HEADS UP!

IT'S A GO!

IT'S HAPPENING!

The Reunion for September 24 - 26,2021 is back on. It is not to late to register and come. The Deadline is August 24, 2021. Thanks to all those who have already registered, sent in payments, and confirmations were sent out.

To those of you who served in the military, thank you for your service. As both Beverly and I grew up in military homes (20 years USAF for my father, 30 years USAF for Beverly's), we have some sense of the sacrifices you made on all of our behaves. Thank you.
