Mary "Dollie" Hughes Lutes

There were so many good times at BHS, and have met many good friends that I am still in contact with.

I have been living in Blytheville since 1993, raising my children. Prior to moving back to Blytheville, I was living in Memphis working as a commercial Interior Designer. After returning to Blytheville, I worked as a Contract Designer and Project Manager for various construction companies.

I am now married to my Jr. High sweetheart, Rodney Lutes. He returned to Blytheville from Cario Egypt in 2002 upon the sudden death of his father. Rodney and I were married in 2006. Rodney and I share 2 dogs, an Rhodesian Ridgeback named Mu"Fasa" and an Belgian Shepard named "Ady". We also have 4 cats and two birds.

I remember Spirit Week 1979 and we had 8" of snow on the ground. During Psychology class (Mr. Bratcher), Ward, Andy, Scott and I decided to skip the resst of the day, and go to my house becuase my parents were out of town. I could not leave school right away because I had to go to third period, but the guys all left with my keys to the house. When I got home, the boys were trying to build a fire in the fireplace, and since I did not have keys to my home, I had to ring the door bell. Scott answered the door with the handle to the fireplace fule in his hand. About an hour after that, the schools were dismissed and a bunch of kids came over and we had a big party. That evening we played Jonesboro and beat their "smarty" pants off. I almost missed the basketball game because my little sister stole my car so she could get to the game an cheer for the "B" team. Than goodness she came back after the "B" game and picked me up. I could not imagined how dissappointed I would have been if I could not have cheered at that game.
