Martha Boone (Checketts)

Hello from Wyoming. Would like to be at the reunion but have children graduating from college then. May is a great time to be in Jacksonville.
Has anyone heard from Malcolm Phipps? He was in South Carolina, last I knew.
Oh, the memories your pictures and comments bring back. Thanks to everyone for all your work.
I sure hope there is a Pawprint with everyone's updates.
Martha

Won't be there this time, as we'll be cruising in the Mediterranean/Aegean, but please, please take tons of photos and post them here! Can't wait to see what a great time will be had by all!

Ed/Eddy here . . . used to go by Eddy, now by Ed but answer to both! Can't wait to see everybody! Be sure to check "Missing Classmates" to see if anyone you're in contact with hasn't checked in yet - and let them know! Also, time to pony up some $. We've got a big deposit to make with the hotel in a couple weeks so if you're coming (and I hope you are!) go ahead and send it in . . . And last but not least, we're going to have a really fun challenge coming up in a few days. Let's see who you recognize from their 6th grade picture! It's hilarious . . . :-)

Sally Ann Whitehouse (Egli)

I send my love and condolences to the Spottswood Family.

It's so hard to lose your parents. Many of us have lost our parents recently and share your pain. The "Circle of Life" can be rough.

I will remember you in my prayers.
Love to you all. Sally

GUESS WHO?!?

Great start Gary! Of course you're in the photo so you should know! :-)

Back Row: You are entirely correct!

Middle Row: We don't think Lee Popwell (Class of '70) was in there . . .

Front Row: Gefter's there but not where you put him . . .

Keep trying! How about some input from other folks on the "still unknowns" . . .

See you at the reunion!

This from Vicki Fox Blanton:

OK.Since Gary got the 3rd row correct, I'm going from his list and adding who I might recognize: 2nd row left to right:Mike Ferguson, You?, Tommy Bayer,Ralph Baker, George Tomlinson, Gary Webb, Tommy Callahan, Lee Robey.1st row left to right: Phillip Gefter,Mike Whelan?David Mims, John Brecher, Bob Stephenson,(the 3rd from the left bonus guy:Paul Reed,Harris Dunn,Gary Enochs, Ken Talbert or Mike Spruill?), Bill Thompson and Will Henley. So there you go...See you soon.

Edward Jennings [Ed] White

Progress . . . Good job Vicki!!!

Front row: You got Phil Gefter and John Brecher right but we don't think Mike Whelan is the second guy. And mystery man - who knows? Could it be one of the guys Vicki lists? We need more help . . .

Middle row: Well - I attended Grace Chapel (San Jose Episcopal) and South San Jose (King's Trail) so I'm not in there . . . and neither is Ferguson. George Tomlinson is there but not where you put him. We think you're right on Gary Webb but not on Tommy Callahan . . .

We're getting there . . . need more help!

03/24/09 04:49 PM #37    

Mary Marsha Ivey (Dukes)

I think the second guy from the right on the middle row is Carl Varnes. And the second guy from the left on the first row I think is Danny Pritchard.

Edward Jennings [Ed] White

Way to go Marsha!!!

You're right on both accounts! OK everybody, just a few to go.

Let's finish this off and we'll publish what we think to be all the names . . .

Reunion right around the corner!

Curtis Frederick Adams

I have talked with some people who have gone to other reunions and they say I should take my yearbook, I will say it has gotten more use in the last few months than the previous 40 yrs, but was wondering should I take it. Yall did great job on this web site thanks

03/25/09 05:11 PM #40    

 

Edward Jennings [Ed] White

Marsha - I think they were all sixth graders (maybe someone can validate that) and I know Chip was a '70 grad (Bolles).

Margaret Akra (Bulin)

In response to Curtis' question, name tags will have your senior photos on them; in addition there will be a DVD that is being put together using our yearbook. However, feel free to bring it.

Victoria [Vicki] Fox (Blanton)

"Guess Who" try again: 2nd row left to right, the first 2 guys: George Tomlinson, Geoff Searcy.Guy #5 on same row,Charles Lyon? The mystery man: Stan Picus...nah.By the way: Hey Marsha! Great job!

03/26/09 05:35 PM #43    

 

Edward Jennings [Ed] White

Vicki! Good work. You're right on with George Tomlinson and Geoff Searcy. The 5th guy though is not Charles Lyon. In fact, I think it's someone who must have moved or something because while I know the name I don't remember him . . . down to two! By the way, Pat Hinely has suggested Ronnie Royals for the 3rd from the right on the bottom row . . . can anybody verify?

03/27/09 05:18 PM #44    

 

Edward Jennings [Ed] White

OK - Here's what we know!

Back row: Jerry Howalt, Gary Grider, Gary Nichols, Pat Hinely, Randy Zibell, Ronnie Brannam, Bob Reams

Middle row: George Tomlinson, Geoff Searcy, Tommy Bayer, Raph Baker, Ruddy Dixon, Gary Webb, Carl Varnes, Lee Robey

Front row: Phil Gefter, Danny Pritchard, David Mims, John Brecher, Bob Stephenson, Mystery Man, Bill Thompson, Will Henley

Mystery Man has had many many suggested IDs but nothing has been confirmed . . .

That was fun! Another (get ready Hendricks kids) coming soon . . .

boys seated on floor: Pete Breslin, not sure, not sure


I gave to Bill Patterson in the late 1990's a copy of my Hendricks Avenue 5th grade directory..that little yellow book we got each year. If anyone needs it, I can try to dig it out of a box again...
