Marilyn Osse Downs is coming to town to attend Ben Averitt's funeral on Friday and Saturday. She'll be staying in Crescent Hill at her sister's, 904-315-6291 and would love to connect up with others that are going.

Hope to get to Nicholasville.  Leaving Birmingham Friday morning right behind Cindy and follow her to KY.  Depends on how much flooding here.  

Heather Scarlett (Hurley)

I think Emma, Graham and Ed are planning to go but I can't remember if they were going on Friday or Saturday.

Thanks Ted!  See you in June!

Thanks for posting all of this information, Ted. I was unaware of what the Club Room was last time and so did not book a room on that floor. Your post got me started. I just booked my room on the Club Room floor, giving me additional opportunity to visit with classmates. You, Heather, et al. might want to make a point of its advantages when you send out registration materials. A complimentary breakfast is served there as well as drinks, etc. in the afternoon. Also, if you make your reservation by phone and ask, certain complimentary accommodations can be made to the rooms on that floor for those who are collecting titanium joints like I am. 🙂Looking forward to seeing you all in June!

If anyone has some free time to help with the reunion, we need some volunteers to make phone calls to locate classmates.  Please let me know if you can help.  

Thanks,

I wish we had an obituary for Lee Harvath. Any ideas? His comments on his page indicate he had a full and happy life. I’m sure he will be missed by many. 

Jeanne Hathaway

Jennie, both Heather and I have tried to locate an obituary for Lee but  simply can’t find one anywhere. We’ll keep trying.

Class/Friends: I am honored to have been elected to the WHS Hall of Fame. This is a very nice honor.  I am sorry that I could not attend the banquet.  I will plan to attend next year.  I am sorry that I missed seeing those of you who were in attendance this year.  

James Bruther

CONGRATS to both Johns!  Nice to see that WHS recognizes some outstanding graduates!

To Pat Morgan, your birthday wish caught me by surprise. Yes, we had many memorable parties at my house. As a matter of fact, my husband, Doug, crashed that beatnik party. He heard the noise all of the way to his house on Elmwood. Mother made me pick up beer cans from five front yards the next morning‼️Brought a smile to my face. Big brother, Biggs, says that you have retired from your law practice. Haven't  you and Linda celebrated a  milestone wedding anniversary?
Doug Monohan and I have been married for over 55 years. We live in an active adult community in Gainesville, Georgia. We have three adult children, five grandchildren, and one great granddaughter. Before COVID we enjoyed cruises to many exciting destinations. Gardening, reading, Bible Study classes, MahJongg, water aerobics, and exercise classes occupy most of my time. Just returned from Tallahassee visiting our daughter, Kelly, grandson Nicholas, and their families. 
Always sad to read of those who have passed away. Some were real characters. 
Thanks again for the birthday wishes.Sincerely, Margo Monohan

Wow this is unexpected news. I called Martye to ask her to reconsider going to our 60th and she said absolutely no. After returning home she called and wanted to know about the reunion and asked about all the activities. I questioned her about why she would not go and she said she was having mobility issues.
