I am so glad I got to spend some time with him at our 40th class reunion speaking about some crazy stunts and fun things he did that we all either got to watch or hear about. It was great that he came and all the more reason people who have never attended need to come. Some of us who were at the 40th class reunion may not be at the 50th. May Rick Rest In Peace. 

Mike Weesner

I'm with you Jim sorry I missed the reunion. I didn't hear about it or see your message until just the other day. I need to get on here more often. Yeah he was in good shape at the reunion but when I talked to his wife, she said that up until the end he didn't believe he was going to die. I didn't even know you could die of Crohn's disease so I better pay attention to my doctor more. Good to hear from you Jim. I hope to see you at the 50th. God willing I will.

Jimmy Record

Great Mike because you are missed and it has been mentioned several times. There are a good many people who live close by who have never bothered to come and a lot of us would like to see them. I won't name names. God Willing I will be there but I too have had a brush with death in the last couple years so I am hopefully as theey really are a ton of fun!

Greetings to everyone from the bottom of the world! So sorry to miss our 50th Reunion. It was so wonderful to see many of you a few years back (pre-Covid) when I was in Huntsville. May you have a great time together "under the big rocket" and know my thoughts and prayers are with you! I trust that in the coming years our paths will cross again. Enjoy the warm summer months - yes, it is winter down under here in New Zealand! Cheers! Steve and Rita Williams

Jimmy Record

We too wish you were coming Steve but New Zealand is a long way and we understand. Glad I did get to see you last time you were here in the US and I trust all is well with you down under in Kiwi land. Me and the wife often think of when we got married in Lake Tekapo New Zealand as when she showed me a picture of the church and the setting I said "That's It" but she didn't know where it was! Having already been to New Zealand before that you can imagine my surprise when we discoverd in was a part that I had not been to as she had heard me rave about how beautiful New Zealand is.

God be with you my friend and know you will be missed. I hope they do a video link up but I don't know if there are plans to do that or not. Stay Well and stay in touch!

I agree with James Pointer that it is hard to believe that our 50th reunion has come and gone. It was SO GOOD to see so many of you but the time was short and I didnt get to talk to everyone I wanted to talk to. I would love to know where everyone is so when traveling we can hopefully reconnect. I also second the idea of a 55th Reunion. While some us may not be here then, it still would allow us the chance to once again reconviene even it is not something as nice as what the committee put together for us at the Davidson Center at the Space & Rocket Center. 50 years just came by too fast and while I have been at every reunion except the 10 year one, some of you I hadn't seen in 50 years while others I had only seen once. Man was that fun and Thank you my fellow classmates are you are all a big part of my life. I hope to see you again either before or at a 55th Reunion.

It has been four days since the reunion and I am still on a natural high from all the dopamine released from seeing all of you!   Here is a picture called Earthrise, taken from the moon. Thank you Connie for making a wonderful display and sharing the pictures with us. This picture will go in my office at Belmont University.  Y

Kudos and Thank you to the Grissom 50th Reunion Committee!  I can't believe that it has come and gone.  It was great seeing everyone, but we are still missing some people I would love to see.  Yes, I am all in for the 55th.  Bear in mind, Lane and I did go to his dad's 70th Franklin High School (Huntsville) Class Reunion!  Mr. Boggs did remember a few people and his brother came in from San Antonio, but I think just getting together was an encouragement to him.  He was 93.  So, if JD is still around, maybe we can keep this thing going!  LOL!

Judy Wolfsberger

Just finished emailing the committee that I did not know what to do with myself this evening! Our meetings were Thursday evenings! 

Thanks to everyone who posted their kind words and thoughts on FaceBook, I appreciate your thoughtfulness. Most of all I enjoyed the happy faces of my classmates, so many people picked up where they left off! Cannot recall how many times I heard "I have not seen you since graduation night", so I am very glad that I could be a part of your happiness last weekend.

Recalling the 40th reunion, I recall the joy that filled the room, and that is what I will remember from the 50th reunion - so much joy.

My only regret is that I missed talking with so many people, so you all have to make plans now to attend the 55th reunion. May God continue to bless all of you with good health, wonderful times with your family and friends, and continued spiritual growth.

Thank you for attending the Grissom High 50 Year Class Reunion....you made it a success!

Hello GHS friends! Hope everyone is doing well after an incredible weekend in Huntsville, Alabama for the 50th GHS CLASS REUNION! Many have posted here and on Facebook, what an incredible job by the reunion committee. I am thinking they are still recovering, because many of us know planning BIG events can have glitches and cause headaches! It was just an amazing time of reconnections and getting more acquainted! So many I spoke with seemed just as delighted to be there just as I was! It's crazy how many who were at both venues and I did not get to chat to! Seeing pictures on FB, I realized I missed a lot of you! This was a time we will talk about a long time! We graduated in 1974 at 17 and 18 years of age and 50 years later seems just as amazing! Love to all, Donna B Bass Scroggins

The Westin Hotel has a nice Bar area for Saturday night that the class of 73 had a get together at. That's one suggestion and it's Not Noisy

i am talking with Rick Shrout about sending this out to our mailing list plus we can post it in the different Grissom Facebook Pages to get feedback. Several out of town people have contacted me about wanting to do this and fly in to attend. I say go for it! Let's just get the dates feedback and contact the loc places.
