Don Paul (1969)

Tom Papson bullied me in junior high at North Chattanooga Junior High. One day during lunch, he came over to my table and asked me, “Don, do you know what a playboy is?’ I answered, “I...guess it’s a boy who plays?” Tom went back to his friends at the table across the way, and they all laughed. And yet, I was with Tommy all through elementary, junior high, and high school, and we got along pretty well. In hearing about his passing, my heart sank. I feel, that even back then, I had a crush on him. He was so handsome and muscular and had such a great smile. I’m sure he developed into the “mensch” he must have become. Again, I didn’t develop fast and did have girlfriends and relations and was neither straight or homosexual. My feelings of sadness I’d like to share with his family and wish them the best. I will miss him a lot.

I remember Tommy Papson as one of our best football players and also as a good wrestler.  We had a great pep rally when we were up against the Brainard Rebels and had a casket on stage for their demise.  Unfortunately we did not prevail.  I remember Tommy well up on the stage with the injured members of the team at the end of the season. I am sorry for his passing and hope others in the class will remember him for his contributions to the school.

Tommy was a great guy.  He was always nice and polite to me, and was always a kidder.  We did have some laughs together. We always spoke and caught up at the last few reunions . He had a great smile ! He will be rememmbered in heart and mind.

I always thought Brenda Pritchett was one of the sweetest people I had ever met at City.  I hate to hear that she has passed.  To see her face again in the high school annual really brings those days back to me.  Prayers for her family.

I am so sorry to hear about the passing of Ray Tower. I remember Ray as always having a smile and he was so friendly. I only saw him a few times after High school but he would always say Hi and ask about Bill. My condolences and prayers.

Class of 1970 - we are trying to put together a casual reunion by maybe having a picnic this summer (2025). With the funds we have from the last reunion, we could possibly pull this off without charging anything for this one. What do you think? Interested? Could/would you come? Please message me either way.
