I just want to thank all the reunion planning committee who worked so hard planning our 40th reunion. It was absolutely the best one we have had so far! Charles, you have done an exceptional job setting up this site and finding so many of the "lost or missing" classmates. Here's to a job well done!
Can't wait until the next one!

To Donna, Patsy and David, Thanks for the pics and Charlie posting them. I almost feel like I was there. It was GREAT to "see" everyone. I havn't been back to M'ville since my Daddy died ('97) but miss my "roots" and wished I could have been with you and seen everyone " live and in person." WRITE.

Great weekend, food, friends and entertainment, thanks to the committee and all that helped make it possible. It was great seeing everyone. Actually, no one has changed much, except maybe just a little on the outside...on the inside, everyone is still the same wonderful people we've always known.

Charlie thanks so much for creating the website; I promise to stay in touch and hope everyone else will do the same. I missed getting to meet with so many people at the reunion, this will be a great way to catch up on the past and stay united in the future.

Charlotte, tennis was fun let's do plan to get together and play some fun weekends.

Aubrey it was great seeing you and love your wife Judy..she's great! You did GOOD!!

I had a great time at the 40th reunion. I did not get to talk to everyone, but it was good to see all of you. I hope more people will get their pictures to Charlie to post. The website is a wonderful idea. Stay in touch.

I was so sad to hear of the passing of another classmate. It seems as though our class has lost so many.

Looking forward to our 50th. It appears as though I have missed a couple along the way. Thanks to all who are helping with this opportunity to get us together again.

'Now twenty years (actually fifty) have passed away since I here bid farewell

To woods, and fields, and scenes of play and school mates loved so well.

Where many were, how few remain of old familiar things!

But seeing these to mind again the lost and absent brings.

The friends I left that parting day-how changed as time has sped!

Young childhood grown, strong manhood gray and half of all are dead.' Abraham Lincoln

 'That is no country for old men. .....

An aged man is but a paltry thing. A tattered coat upon a stick, unless

soul clap its hands and sing, and louder sing;

for every tatter in in its mortal dress.

Nor is there singing school but studying

monuments of its own magnificence. William Butler Yeats 'Sailing to Byzantium'

Thanks to everyone who helped plan the 50th Reunion. It was good seeing everyone again.

Someone once said 'May you live in interesting times'. Those of us from the classes of 1967-1969 certainly lived through interesting times as we moved through high school and into our lives beyond. We have seen many things that we could not imagine when we sat naively in the auditorium at old BHS and were sent into the world. In the words of the old song by the Statler Brothers 'We all thought we'd change the world through our great words and deeds' (Class of '57). We have all made a change in the world or at least in a small corner of it; even if we have helped on child, one less fortunate person, or maybe in some greater way. We continue to make our mark on the world, even as our day is moving into the sunset. We do it through our children and our grandchildren who we taught to 'take a stand and make a mark' through their actions. We should all be proud of what we have accomplished.

Several of our classmates told me that they enjoyed my quotes on this page. I thank them for noticing. So I leave you with one more; a poem that I have used as a guide through my life, through the good times, the bad times, the easy times and the hard times. Enjoy 

'Gayly bedight, a handsome knight in sunshine and in shadow

Had journeyed long, singing a song in search of El Dorado.

And, when his strength failed him at length, He met a pilgrim shadow.

'Shadow,' said he 'Where can it be, this land called El Dorado?'

'Over the mountains of the Moon, down the Valley of the Shadow.

Ride, boldy ride the shade replied if you seek El Dorado.'

Edgar Allen Poe 'El Dorado' 

Let us all continue to 'boldly ride' and never give up the search for El Dorado. See you in five.

Cheryl, thank you for that kind response. I don't know how much of a scholar I am, but I do try. Good to see all of you during the reunion.

Another one that kind of reflects on our high school days:

When I was fourteen, I was fallin' fast

For a blue eyed girl in my homeroom class. Tryin' to get the courage to ask her out

Was like tryin' to get oil from a water spout. What she would have said,

I can't say I never did ask and she moved away. I learned one thing from that blue eyed girl,

Sink or swim, you got to give it a whirl. John Michael Montgomery 'Life's A Dance'

In the past, I have had people express various opinions, both negative and positive, about class reunions. So I thought that I might post this. I think, whether we know the quote or not, have this feeling in our collective hearts and memories. 


A human life, I think, should be well rooted in some spot of a native land, where it may get the love of tender kinship for the face of the earth, for the labors men go forth to, for the sounds and accents that haunt it, for whatever will give that early home a familiar unmistakable difference amidst the future widening of knowledge. The best introduction to astronomy is to think of the nightly heavens as a little lot of stars belonging to one's own homestead. - George Eliot
