Jen and Steve!!!!!!!!Thank you!!!!! David and I had a great time and are so glad we didn't miss it!!!! When I left last night, I agreed with the 88 theme, " Why can't this night go on forever?" In the season of life that we are in> raising children,(yikes!),working, going to ballgames, doing homework, going to the grocery store again( Teen-agers!!:)), you can sometimes lose sight of the journey. It is good to remember where you came from, the incredible memories, and the joy and freedom of being a kid!!!!A song that I LOVE... that pretty much sums up what I am trying to say is by Point of Grace, titled " It's How you Live." If you have never heard it, grab a kleenex... and get ready!!! shannon caplinger

Anyone who was at the Friday night reunion party that I may have offended I want to sincerely apologize. I had one too many and cannot remember much that night, which I am totally embarrassed about.

Thanks to Jen and Steve for all of your hard work. I cannot wait till the next reunion in five years. Maybe I will be more grown up and mature by then (right!).

I cannot believe how many of you still look the same. Hope to see you all again soon!

To Amy, Jennifer, Steve, Johnette, and their families great job of planning and pulling this off. David and I were only there on Friday, but we had a great time! It was great to see everyone and visit. I agree with Laurie I started 100 conversations and I am not sure that I finished any. It seemed too short. Suzan you only live once and life is too short for whatever we thought was a big deal then or now.
Enjoy it and we will all look forward to 2013.
(I will load pics under my name later I have to sensor first)

Laura Mathews (Henry) I'm about to be completely repetitive, but I must say that I'm so BLESSED to have graduated w/ the sweetest, most kind hearted, and down to earth people ever!! Again, a very special thanks to Steve, Jen, Amy and Johnette for making this happen (and anyone else that worked on this). Johnette, I hope your precious daughter is feeling better. Much love to you all!

Christy Summers (Tremewan)

Hi everyone! I had such a great time over the weekend. I can't believe after having not seen so many of you for SOOOO long, how easily we just all picked back up again.

As they say, it was nice to be "where everyone knows your name" - well almost everyone, anyway. And for those of you who didn't remember me, that's OK too - memories can be faulty at our age, after all.

I really appreciated everyone's genuine kindness and I look forward to seeing you all again next time. Maybe we can get some of the stragglers there too - Holly Morgan, Jerry Duncan, Kevin Doolittle, Leigh Meux, Kevin Martin, etc, etc.........you know who you are.

And Jen and Steve, you are the BEST and are to be commended for a job well done. Thank you so much.

Stacee Dover Hello Everyone. It was so good to see my "old" friends and very nice to make some new ones. I am glad I made the trek to Little Rock. I definitely have a new appreciation for LR's nightlife. Photos are forthcoming. Thank you to ANYONE I forced into taking a picture with me. They are all marvelous ~ they make me smile! Bravo!! to everyone who made this event happen.

David Mitchell

I have pictures of some "unnamed" people with cash stuck to their foreheads...pictures of people trying to stick their tongues in other's ears....pictures of glamoruus streetwalking divas posing for the papparazzi late at night....people shooting up jello shots out of syringes like a bunch of alcoholic junkies......you know who you are...I even have photos of a maniacal man rolling around on a piano like a cheap slut....the Enquirer is going to LOVE this stuff. Big bucks...oh yeah, big bucks for these.
If any of you care to buy these back before they go public, you should act quickly. hee..hee...heeeeeeeeeee!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Vicki Caserta (McSwain) AHHHHHH!!!! I STILL cannot speak properly, and my feet are still numb from the shoes I wore Saturday night. Unfortunately, I know exactly who the "unnamed people" in David's post are! It was so great seeing you all again. I hope everyone had safe trips back to their destinations.

All I can say is WOW!!! Jen and Steve GREAT!! JOB!!! I had a BLAST!!!! I can't wait until our 25th!! I agree with Shannon. I didn't want the nights(fri&sat) to end! What a great time we had, and I so enjoyed getting to see everyone again. Man it just doesn't seem like its been 20 yrs since we all graduated together. I'm looking forward to getting together again for our 25th reunion. Lisa

Derrick Lewis Great job with the reunion, my wife and I had a great time. I see the MC's Class of 88' can still rock hard. Everyone looked great, and I was glad to be a part of it. Just hated it had to be over so soon. Look forward to seeing everyone in the near furture. Love you guys.

Jennifer Hutchison (Schoonover)

Hello all,

Well I finally made it home ~ just now as a matter of fact! The reunion was wonderful and I will cherish those memories forever. Thanks to all of you for making the weekend wonderful for me and my family.

My oldest son phoned me yesterday and he has a spider bite on his knee so I will be dealing with that today and may not be available until tomorrow.

I have great news!!! My husband Dwight now says we have a 1 - 2 year plan as opposed to a 4 year plan. For those of you that don't know that means we are moving back. We are soooooooo excited. My children actually didn't want to leave.

For those of you that are waiting on t-shirts I will post news tomorrow. For those of you that are interested in a reunion DVD give us about 4 - 6 weeks to compile everything etc.

I am not lucky enough to have my voice back yet but hopefully if I rest it today (haha fat chance) I will sound better tomorrow. If you call me via cell or home today I warn you now that I can barely be heard so the kiddos will probably answer the phone.

McClellan Class of 88' is absolutely the best and I love you all! See you soon. Jen

Marie Waskas (Land)

Just as everyone else has posted - Thank you for a fabulous weekend!!! What a cool way to see everyone. It was definitely not long enough. There were several people that I got to see but not talk to. Next time we need to reserve a block of rooms somewhere that way we do not have to leave. The party can go on all night, all weekend!!! It all turned out more than perfect, I had a grand time. David, I am not sure that I have enough money to get the pictures of the "maniacal man rolling around on a piano like a cheap slut...." but I am looking in to a loan (hopefully with a low interest rate). What a great sport!! I know that thousands of pictures were taken that are not posted. I am so anxious to see the rest of them. It was wonderful to see all of you. Take care until the next time!!!

Marie Waskas (Land) Terasa - We have crashed two reunions, two years in a row. I will be in touch for next years! Somewhere. Someone has to start the dancing!!!LOL

Laura Sain (House) Hey all, Another "thank you" to Jen and Steve for spear heading this and making it happen. I had a blast - it was great to see friends I haven't seen in a lonnnnnnnnng time and re-connect. I wish I could have made it to the Friday night event and the picnic... way too much going on that weekend. Looking forward to the next one.

Longo and Jen-
You all did an excellent job on this event. I had a wonderful time and still feeling the "hang-over" or I guess a "hang-around" from Friday nite. It was great seeing all my fellow 88'ers and truly looking forward to the next one. Maybe, me and my clan that was hanging around the bar area Friday will give some others a little room or chance to order cocktails at the next reunion. You know who ya'll are...DM, SB, RB, Tracy Matson and others.
It's ashame we have to wait 5 years just to get together and have fun like old times. So sorry I missed the piano bars. Would have loved belting some 80 tunes.

Thanks again :)
