Hi Jane,

it is a positive argument for the Internet and for the First Amendment.

Jane I never had any idea of your reservations. You always seemed so laid back and cool too! You did well girl. I didnt get into class functions that much due to band and work taking most of my time but I could tell you were very active.

Billy I have always stood amazed at your mom. Best looking Mom and teacher I ever knew. Seeing her at the reunion she had changed little. I always liked her and thought she was a good teacher even though I caused trouble in her class. Anyway wanted you to know that. I read your note to my mom and she just hee hawwed. She was amazed at your memory too.

all the best,

Jimbo,

Laughter is the best medicine. Studies support this, too. If I caused a good Hee Haw, I have succeeded in life.

Thanks for sharing that with me.

fondest regards,

billy

Hey Jerry,

Good to see you man! I remember you were a math, chemistry and physics wizard at DHS. Now you're looking a little like the Wizard of OZ! Didn't you go into engineering?

Hey Barry!

Howaya? I've never done Facebook. This DHS site is the only experience I've ever had with on-line social interactions. I may have to try the Facebook thing.

The DHS site has been a good experience in some ways, and I've tried to fan the embers to keep it alive. But I also find it rather lacking in give-and-take interactions. Experts might say "it has weak social reciprocity."

I'm looking forward to face-to-face interactions at the 60th Birthday Party this June.

Billy I am going to rely on your memory here. Does anyone remember the long poles with a hook on the end they had in every room to open and close the windows up high? It seems I remember a group of the guys getting a lot of those poles and going down the hall chanting pumping those poles looking like a tribe out of Africa. Anyone else remember that or I am dreaming it? Who was it?

Yeah, Jimbo,

We did it. Seems the procession began at the end of the hall where the 6th grade classrooms were. I think it was at night during an after-school function, like when the cub scouts met in the lunch room a few times to start getting organized. Some of us sneaked away and gathered up all the "window poles" from the unlocked classrooms and started our own mideival ceremony.

Reminds me of an old joke. This poor soul went to the doctor. The doctor came in and the poor soul told him, "Doc, I have TERRIBLE gas all the time. Nothing seems to help." The doctor said, "I know what to do. I'll be right back."

The doctor came back with a long pole with a hook on the end. The frightened poor soul said, "What are you going to do with THAT?"

The doctor said, "I'm going to open these windows! It smells awful in here."

rim shot.... ta-dum-shee.

Hey Billy,

My PC has really been on the blink...out of service. I am just now getting caught up on all the old messages.

Yes, I did finish in Electrical Engineering at TTU. I remember you coming up there my freshman year, I think it was to see Hawk. At John's Beer joint over near the I-40 interstate. Quite a few years!! You have a pretty family.

I am now retired from TVA Nuclear, but working as a blood sucking contractor in Chattanooga for them again...You got to be doing something. And you?

I really enjoy all your tales here on the site. You were a natural with our high school paper!!

Keep them coming!!

Jerry

Thanks Elaine, it was great seeing Judy we should try and get our classmates together more often than just reunions. There are a lot of us that still live in the Donelson, Hermitage, Mt. Juliet and Nashville areas. Too bad there is not much activity on this site, Larry did an awesome job putting it together. Hope you are doing well, it was nice to see you at the Birthday bash!

Hugs, Carolyn

Can't believe it's been two years since there has been any post! I just wanted to share what has been going on in my life. I just updated my profile and it was so painful to write that I am now widowed. I know many of you knew that I was married to Bobby Meeks class of "66", I'm saddened to say that on March 21, 2014 Bob tragically lost his life in a motorcycle accident. We were married 45 years this year and losing him has left a painful void in my heart. I lost part of myself when I lost him and I will forever love and miss him. I hope that all is well in your lives and hopefully next year will be a great reunion until then take care, live life to the fullest and love deeply because you really don't know what someone means to you until you have lost them.

Love & Hugs

Carolyn

Hi Carolyn.

Merri and I are both knocked off our props about Bobby. We ran to Hibbett-Hailey as soon as we heard. I'm so glad we found you in the crowd and we both could hold you and try to comfort you. You showed amazing strength. You still have amazing strength, and I know it must take every bit of it to face every new day.

Maybe Merri and I could take you out to dinner sometime?

Your loving friend,

Billy
