Hey Nolen, hope you can make it. Only people I know for sure besides myself are DeDe and her hubby, Cino, Patrick, Griff and Hamby, Gina, Andrea and her hubby, Belinda, Voyles and his wife and I think Cino may have invited some additional peeps from the class of 89. He talked to Geiler and she said she was going. Hope to see you there.

Andrea, KMA - how are those initials for ya? Don't think anyone is planning to meet up for dinner. I threw out that idea earlier for the local peeps but didn't get any response. The whole point of dinner was to have food in us to ward off some of the alcohol intake...unfortunately, last time we did that, we were all drinking at dinner...not sure that plan helped much.

Kelly Love had previously said she was going to try to make it tonight but I have not talked to her in awhile. She also said Overberg was coming too. Emily?

Nolan -- hope you can make it this evening. What time is everyone going?

Tracy Graff (Patterson)

Gina...not sure about time. Talked to Cino this AM, and he said he may be down as early as 7 or 7:30. Supposed to call me when he's headed our way w/a ETA. What time you think you could get down here?

12/05/08 11:46 AM #1682    

I plan to be there... I'm not sure yet. I do know that Lisa O has a "Holiday Party" at work. She did offer to email me the flyer. I believe her...?? She said next time she will definitely make it.

Tracy Graff (Patterson)

mispellings are hurtful things aren't they? shame on you gina millar.

12/05/08 05:09 PM #1685    

Gina Blow (Miller)

Ohhhhh my word!!!! Nolen, I am soooooo sorry! See, I haven't been on the forum in awhile and look what happens!
Mispelling my name can be a bit disturbing. My sister is teaching her kids to call me Aunt Gyna.....terrible! Actually, when the recording from Blockbuster calls it says "ReGYNA".....nice.

12/05/08 05:10 PM #1686    

Gina Blow (Miller)

TGP -- BTW....if you are still checking, I can be down there around 7:30-ish. I just didn't want to go belly up to the bar by myself. If you guys aren't going until later then I will find something to do in the meantime but I'm outta here @ 7:00~!

Hey everyone sorry i won't be able to make the bar tonight. My friend had his house burn down the other night and we are going to help him try to gather what can be saved. so everyone have fun and drink one for me. see you guys for the next outing. Hartman happy b-day.

Scott Nolen

Its ok Gina, I have thick skin (and a pretty good layer of fat under that) so I just trying to be an ass and make you feel bad. Maybe I succeeded??

You all have fun tonight and be careful. Things at Darvin's can get outta hand pretty quickly.

You're a good man, Rodney! Losing your house has to suck so having friends and family to help will most certainly be appreciated!!

Scott Pacino

Hello everyone....

Rodney, sorry to hear about your friend...been there...no fun...If the class of 88 can help, let us know.

Rodney Smith

Thanks Nolen you know everyone needs help from time to time and that is what friends are for.

Pacino thanks for the phone call that means alot in times likes this.

I know this is a rough time of year for everyone but if anyone can help out with some clothes or anything for my friends it would be greatly appreciated. I know they would appreciate it and so would I. He has three daughters Brittney 18, Kelsy 15, and sydney 6, If anyone can help give me a call (636) 937-8833 either myself or my wife Stephanie will answer.

Bryon Voyles

Rodney,

What a tragedy, I am really sorry to hear that. Tell them to check with the local churches for any help they may need!!

12/06/08 03:57 PM #1692    

Rodney Smith

Thanks brian i will do that. I didn' think it was that bad untill i got there they lost everything. The only things they could save was maybe in three plastic totes.

12/06/08 04:13 PM #1693    

Andrea Windsor (Portlock)

Hey Rod - do you know what sizes the kids wear? I have a tote of clothes that I was going to donate to Good will. They are mainly my clothes. Do not know if they would work for your friend. They are sizes M - Large shirts. and I think some pants size 10-12. Let me know. Did they have insurance? I have some other things that I will donate too

12/06/08 09:29 PM #1694    

Andrea Windsor (Portlock)

Hey all- had a great time last night. Don't remember the end of it all. Apparently I was acting very inappropriate according to my husband.. Feeling a little rough today but not too bad. How is everyone else?

12/06/08 09:55 PM #1695    

Billy Evans

Andrea you acting inappropriate? No way. Haha. Hope all had a good time and got home safely. I tried to call the bar to buy a round for all you drunk tankards but no answer! Get you next time!

No post on last nites activities so either it was boring or noones talking in fear of repurcussions! Like to think the last part is more likely! Actually you all are so old probably still in bed with an icepack on your noggins and a handful of ibuprofin to swallow!!! HAHAHAHA

NC is nice. Found a hole n the wall Biker Bar that only serves "Beer and Insults". I would say nice little bar but not true, people where actually my kinda people in a way. Good people! Rough looking though! Weather wise im able to go outside with a long sleeve shirt with shorts and not freeze!

Everyone take care!!!

Scott Hartman

Thanks Rodney,hey if i can do anything to help let me know.

12/07/08 08:16 PM #1697    

Rodney Smith

Andrea,
thank you that would be nice. I will find out about the sizes and let you know.

Scott thanks for the phone call.

You know everyone needs help from time to time and the class of 1988 has been coming through for me and my friends in their time of need. I have had phone calls from everyone and i really really appreciate it. The next time we go out as a class the first round is on me for all the support of my friends. God bless all of you. There is not a whole lot more I can say but THANK YOU.

Andrea Windsor (Portlock)

Hey all just got off the phone with Rodney. As I can gather, these are pretty good friends of him and his wife. I mentioned something to him about having a benefit for the family until the insurance company can help. Anyone interested in helping me? He is checking with the family on Monday and getting the update on where they are going to be staying. They are living with friends right now but they are talking about renting a house until they can see what is going to happen. I told him that I would be willing to put together anything for them. It's like a "Pay if Forward" deal for me. My husband's police department raised money for us when we needed it the most so I think it is my time to help. What do ya say gang?

Let me know.

Does anyone think Darvin would let us use the back room for a night and throw something together like some silent auction stuff? Does anyone else have a better idea let me know.


12/07/08 09:02 PM #1699    

Scott Pacino

Rodney.....let us know if there is ANYTHING.....

Bilman...AWESOME time Friday night....Been crazy busy since.......drinking, dancing, and talking to good friends...does it get any better?

Have a great week everyone....

Billy Evans

All Just got off the phone with Rodney and I have to say I am very proud of our class. He has been flooded with calls and believe he appreciates it as much as his friend does. In our talk there was a mention of a benefit which may take some planning and a while to accomplish. One of my concerns is Christmas for the kids, especially the 6 year old. I suggested to Rodney that maybe as a class we could donate for xmas gifts for the kids. He didnt know what or if the parents had gotten them that was lost in the fire but he is going to find out. Let me know what you all think. I know this is a bad time of the year to donate but I couldnt imagine how much harder it is for them. Anything would help. I am going to call some of my friends and try to guilt them into donations, I have no shame in asking for donations to help out a family in need and also a classmate that is struggling with it to, YOUR A GOOD FRIEND TO THEM RODNEY AND STEPH!!!! glad they have such good friends.

Classmates give me back any input or suggestions.

12/07/08 10:34 PM #1701    

Andrea Windsor (Portlock)

Billy - I am very willing to help in any donations that I can. I think it would be a very good gesture to do. Let me know if I can do anything on my end since you are out of town.


12/07/08 10:39 PM #1702    

Gina Blow (Miller)

If you guys could continue to post info on Rodney's friend's family, that would be awesome. Probably save Rodney a few phone calls too! I am certainly willing to help out. I have some clothes that I had been getting together to donate to Disabled American Vets but if they are the right sizes, I will certainly bring them down to Festus. I am not as brave as Andrea and will not post my size on the forum :) BTW Andrea, you just kind of disappeared Friday night. No good-bye or anything! I guess now I know why.
Bill, we did have a good time Friday night. Your name was mentioned several times and I am sure there were plenty of drinks to make up for your absence! It was great to see everyone again and really good to see some of the folks who were not able to make it to the reunion.

12/07/08 11:19 PM #1703    

Billy Evans

Gina I am always there in spirit! Glad to hear everyone had a good time. Sounds like it was a good turnoutt. You definitely needed some me time!!!! I would say the best bet for Rodney is to have one person head up the donations and sounds like Andrea is involved..... since I am in NC not much I can do.

Andrea How you been littlebuddy? Why you doing a Houdinni on everyone, where you a wee bit tipsy polluted?
