Welcome to the
Pirates Reunion website.
If this is your 1st time here and you are not sure where to start click here for some help
Russell Leggett has officially begun pestering me about a 2019 Pirate get together/reunion. Hmmm. Ideas? Comments? Rants? Sarcastic observations?
The Blue and Gold, the blue and gold will live forever! If you know the melody to those lyrics, you may be a GHS alumni and/or former student.
There is a new Facebook group called the Gosnell Get Together (The GGT) led by Tina Farmer-Cone and Doug Peterson and they are organizing a reunion event to be held in June 2017 in New Orleans, LA. If you are interested, check out their Facebook group at:
Greetings You Old Pirate <g>!
Tina George Rowe has asked (as of March 6, 2016) if anyone is interested in a Pirate Reunion Cruise in 2017. If you are interested (all classes) then check out her post on the Gosnell Alumni page on Facebook.
That is all for now - hope you and yours are making it through this crazy world.
(Obviously the 2014 reunion is not today...but we had a lot of fun.)
Our 2014 GHS Reunion is today (Memphis, TN) and tomorrow (Blytheville and Gosnell, AR) and you are invited to join us!
If you decide at the last minute to join us either Friday night in Memphis or Saturday in Blytheville/Gosnell we would love to see you. No need to register online at this point, just show up at the times listed below.
If you have questions - call
(864-275-9962) or send e-mail to Ben Hestir, Class of '79 (email: ben.hestir@hestir.com).
Friday night July 18th - simply appear at the Doubletree Hotel Friday night between 5:30 pm and 6 pm. We will distribute wristbands to those of you who are already registered and collect payments from anyone who has not. Our registration table will be in the hallway at the back left of the lobby in front of the glass block wall. We have the picnic deck on the 3rd base side of the Memphis Redbirds ballpark (AutoZone Park). This is across Union Avenue from the Doubletree. You can park at "Parking Can Be Fun" garage at 79 Union Avenue for $6.00. Price for the ballgame and the BBQ buffet by Corky's BBQ is $45 per person.
Saturday - June 19th - we are meeting at the school cafeteria at 11:30 am - the old one, that is. We will have lunch for those of you who have signed up and may be able to accomodate a few extras for $10 each. Lunch is (once again) BBQ from the Kreme Kastle.
Dinner at the Holiday Inn starts at 7 pm and we should be done eating no later than 8 pm. Our reunion event is in the meeting room adjacent to the Bistro Restaurant . If you want to come in after dinner come just before 8 pm. Price with dinner is $42 per person, without dinner is $20 per person. We will open up the divider to the dance floor at the Bistro later in the evening after dinner.
You are welcome to join us and if you have not pre-registered we will take your payment at the door. Thanks!
We are expanding the site to graduation years 1970-1990. In order to add your class year to the site we need a list of the graduating seniors from the yearbook and digital photos of the senior pics from the yearbook in high resolution. I've already added 1970, 1971, 1972, 1973, 1974 and 1986 classes. We need the senior lists and pictures for 1975, 1987, 1988, 1989 and 1990. Please send the lists (Excel format would be the best) and photos to me by clicking here and attaching the appropriate files. Thanks!
Happy New Year to a bunch of old Pirates!
Set up or update your profile and stay tuned!

Pirate Reunion events were held in Dallas (3rd annual Arkansas-Texas A&M game) and at Gosnell (2011 Homecoming) in 2011!
When's the next Pirate reunion? Big or small, it's always great to see old friends...
Joe Ethridge ('78) and I had an impromptu mini-reunion at a hotel in Louisville, KY this summer when we both showed up for conferences being held there. Amazing coincidence as we crossed paths in the lobby and managed to recognize each other. We had a great time catching up that evening.
There are a group of Pirate Alumni attending the Arkansas/Texas A&M game (the Southwest Classic) in Dallas this Saturday, October 9, 2010. If you care to join them for tailgating, give Dan Quinn (class of '77) a call on his cell at 979-412-2196.
