GREGORY STEPHEN HILL

Ralph......Thanks for all you did for our 50th Reunion!!!!!.......for all the work you are doing for our 55th!!!

50 was great, but I think 55 will be even better!!!!

I was born and raised in Columbia and haven't left home......married my High School Sweetheart (Diane Herman Hill). We have two great daughters who are absolutely wonderful teachers! We have six grandkids......three boys playing football, basketball, and baseball........and three girls, who are involved in Competitive Cheer, and Competitive Dance! We spend a tremendous amount of our time following them everywhere in all these activities!

Diane and I have been fortunate to travel quite a bit with our daughters and grandkids!!

I am fortunate to have had a wonderful life with my wife, our daughters, and every one of our grandkids!!

I really enjoyed my three years of high, with a lot of great friends, both male and female! Particularly enjoyed our playing in the State High Basketball Championship our Junior year, and losing by TWO POINTS in the Championship game......and making the Basketball State Championship again our Senior Year, and finishing in third place. Both years we were only beat by the eventual State Championship team! I remember how many of our classmates went to St Louis for the State Championship games both years......but especially our Senior Year!

Some of you may not remember, but during our Sophomore year, we also played for the State Championship Baseball in Springfield!

Pretty great to play for a State Championship during all three years of our high school career!

Thanks for all of the fun!!
