I had a great time! Thanks to everyone that came, especially those that had to travel.

Fun to see old friends and catch up and reminisce  on all the good times we had 50 years (and more)ago!

Underwent tripple by-pass on Thursday moring, just got home yesterday and I'm working on rehab, may be will make it to the next one. Thank you to all of the volunteers that workied so hard to make this happen      George

Barbara Cleveland (Sinbine)

We missed you, George!  Do whatever they tell you to do in Cardiac Rehab, so you can get back to doing the things you wish to do!  I know many were not able to attend either due to their own health issues, or those of family members.   You were all missed.  

Robin Blanton

Many THANKS to those who planned and organized our 50th Class Reunion.  It was a fun event visiting DMHS classmates, recalling old memories, and feeling young again ..... well, sort of.  Thank you!! 

P.S. George you were missed and I hope your recovery is uneventful. 

Lois Walters (Gordy)

George ~ You and Connie were missed and I was surprised that you weren't with us.  Guess you had a good reason not to!  Our prayers are with you for a speedy recovery.  We had a great time and as always the time was over before I felt like I got to visit with everyone.  So pleased that we had this time together with our friends.

Sharon Murphy (Peacock)

The 50th Class Reunion looked like everyone had a wonderful time.  I wish I could have been there to celebrate with all my classmates.  Thank you to Barbara and Tommy for the pictures.  George Pope I am praying for your quick recovery.  Take it easy and do what your doctor says.  Go Eagles!

Thanks everyone for the well wishes, I am up to walking a mile a day, working my way back to 3 miles.

Linda Sample (Thomas)

So sorry that Jim and I couldn't make  the trip. It looks like a fun time was had by all. It's a long way to Ft. Pierce and I am nursing another hip replacement. I'm hoping to see everyone in 5 years. We missed getting home, but Pensacola is a long way. Thanks Barbara & Tommy and others for all the pictures (and names). I wouldn't have recognized everyone. Special thanks to the organizers; what a lot of work it involved! Sure hope another reunion willl happen in 5 years!

So sorry to hear of Tim's passing. So many great memories of him at school and at our house. Always involved in school activities. Tim's smiling face will surely be missed. Our sympathy to Sally and his family. Jim and Linda Thomas

Garry, 

That's a Robert Cray song that Gary borrowed for his album "Battleground".  Warren Haynes (the Allman Brothers & Government Mule) played the lead guitar on it.  Somewhere I have a preliminary version where they jam it out.  I have about 15 hard drives and when I run into the other version, I'll MP3 and send it to you.  Gary plays a bit of the lead on the alternate version jam.  

Elinda Hunter

Thanks Gary M. for the link.  It works really well.

Garry, 

This is one of my favorites.  Gary and Billy Eldridge saw a billboard in Tennessee advertising a locally favorite beer and the motto on the sign was "The Finest Product of the Brewer Art".  Of course, their jobs in Nashville at that time was to write songs and songs are anywhere you get an idea.  Another on that cd I sent you that is a favorite is "The Gold Bar Stool".  It is actually hard to pinpoint a favorite because I have so many.  Many of those song were from the 60's and country music kind of funny at the time...I got a tiger by the tail it's plain to see......

Randall Monnette

Good one Gary

Garry,

Let's Go Jukin' is one of my favorites.  Gary wrote it with Dickie Betts of the Allman Brothers.  We did the demo for it in my studio back about 1988.

Frances Swindle (Thrift)

Oh wow, love to dance to the oldies.  The music had a good beat.  The music of today does not prompt me to dance.

Tommy Schwartz

 It is with great sadness that I report the passing of one of our associate members.  I received word that Bill Franklin passed away on New Years Eve Morning.  He was at the reunion last June and I am so glad I got to spend some time speaking with him there.  He was always such a likeable person.  

I will post an obituary as soon as I receive it from his brother Mike.  

Randy Lewis

He was a good guy and a lot of fun. I will miss my Freind.
 

Anita Beaver (Sloan)

We were so sad to hear about Billy. We are also glad we were able to visit with him at our class reunion. He will truly be missed! RIP Billy. Love, Ford & Anita
