02/17/08 02:31 PM #6     William Bova You folks are awesome for getting this thing going. Christine Lingblom Spoto alerted me to the site, we have been emailing for awhile now, we both live on the Gulf, me, 6 blocks from the beach, another Katrina and I may be beach-front before it's over with, sorry, I have to kind of laugh about it to keep from crying. Anyway, I would love to come to a reunion, I haven't been in Roanoke in about 3 years now, it seems I am always flying over it on my way to DC! Let me know what I can do to help, I work a lot and travel the South frequently, but for my Cave Spring folks, I will make the time! I love y'all and look forward to seeing everybody. Billy

02/19/08 08:56 AM #7     Liz Gray I stubled upon the In Memory link. I am so sad to learn that some of our class mates have passed away. I had heard that Debbie Noel had passsed away at a very young age from breast cancer. I was stunned to learn that Paul Mustian, Cindy Woody, and Robert Englund had also passed away. Does anyone know what happened to them?

02/20/08 09:56 AM #8     Brian Parker Wow, Betsy! Thanks for helping us get this Reunion ball rolling! Without a doubt, Cave Spring's Class of '78 had the very best looking girls in the Roanoke Valley! Bar none. How 'bout those Knight Knockouts! Wishing everyone absolute health and happiness... really looking forward to catching-up soon!

02/21/08 11:38 PM #9     William Bova I hope we can get more people on here participating and filling in their profiles. You people with kids, look, whack em in the butt with a stick and send them to their rooms to text-message, play X-Box, and if they bring home any grade below a "B", whack em in the butt again with a stick! Anyway, once again kudos to Betsy for getting this thing going, it looks good, Cave Spring folks always excel at what they do! God bless everybody and I hope to see y'all this year!

02/22/08 04:44 PM #10     Timothy Hudson It is great to see so many names I hadn't seen in years. I am looking forward to seeing everyone at the reunion. Thank you Betsy for getting this together! I am in Columbus, Ohio and have been for 21 years now. I hope all of you are doing well.

02/23/08 10:49 AM #11     Arlene Bosco (Usery) Hey everyone! I will be sure to pass this information on to many of our fellow classmates. It will be awesome to see you guys again. Take care!

02/27/08 11:39 AM #12     Laurie Bugner (Kerr) Hey everybody. It's been fun reading all the messages and hearing what everyone is doing. Bobby is supposed to put an ad in the paper so hopefully that will increase responses. Have heard back from a few people. Realized Billy and I are only a few hours from each other. Hope everyone will be able to attend the reunion.Labor Day sounds great but I'll be there no matter what the date!

03/08/08 02:38 PM #13     Greg Burbo Why are the songs that we listened to being played on "oldies" stations? Those songs are at least ten years younger than we are! Whats up with that?

03/18/08 07:36 PM #14     Betsy Crow This was a post sent from Brian Parker... Talking with Billy Bova the other day he told me his favorite music in High School was anything from Air Supply. I'm making the Air Supply part up, but really, what other songs do we remember listening to in School? Music can take us back to a time and place when we were trying out a bunch of new stuff for the first time, really, we probably weren't suppose to be doing it anyway. Our kids today really do miss out on the best kind of music of when we were in School. Jot down some favorites here, I'll start you thinking: the Eagles were good; the Doobie Brothers; Steely Dan; Al Stewart; Gerry Rafferty; Commodores; Donna Summers; Bee Gees; Kansas; Van Halen (but no Air Supply, Billy!) . . . . from Brian Parker

03/19/08 09:15 AM #15     Laurie Bugner (Kerr) SO MANY DIFFERENT SONGS COME TO MIND. WE USED TO HAVE"TALENT" SHOWS STANDING ON THE COFFEE TABLE IN MY DEN. JUICE NEWTON COMES TO MIND AND SINGING SO LOUD IN THE CAR IN DENISE'S DRIVEWAY THAT WE WOKE UP HER DAD. TERRY DID A GREAT IMITATION OF CHER. BILLY JOEL,EAGLES,PETER FRAMPTON,AEROSMITH....TOO MANY TO NAME.

03/25/08 09:56 AM #16     Liz Gray Let's see, songs from high school...I had and still do have very eclectic musical tastes but the music that takes me back to the high school years includes the bands from the Southern Rock genre including The Allman Brothers, Little Feat, Marshall Tucker& Charlie Daniels. Other favorites include The Dead (as in Grateful), Led Zeplin, The Who, The Beatles, Fleetwood Mac, Jefferson Starship (previously Airplane), Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young, Eric Clapton & Dave Mason. Also, I have fond memories of the Blue Grass Festivals on Bent Mountain.

03/26/08 07:46 AM #17     Christine Lingblom (Spoto) Artists that bring me back to our high school era include Aerosmith (Walk This Way!), Ted Nugent (Stormtrooper), Boston (More Than a Feeling), Queen (We Are the Champions!), Styx (Come Sail Away), Heart (Barracuda!!), 10cc (The Things We Do For Love), KISS, Grand Funk, Elton John, Mother's Finest, Eagles, Doobies, Joe Walsh, Rod Stewart, Eddie Money, Beach Boys, and how about Pablo Cruise! ...and whoever did "Boogie Oogie Oogie" :-) There was the whole soundtrack thing going on: "Car Wash," "Saturday Night Fever," and "Grease," to name the few that I can recall. Remember the 8-track? How long did that last? A month maybe? At the risk of sounding like our parents, WE DID have the BEST era of music ever in the history of music, in my opinion!

03/27/08 06:52 PM #18     Jeff Reynolds A great job by all on the music rememberances - especially Pablo Cruise-- (wore that vinyl out)in the pre-MTV and pre-K-92 days -- we were essentially stuck with WROV-1240 AM and a lone FM station (the call letters escape me). We also had a CSHS radio station that piped music into our lunchroom during lunch hours - future WROV DJ Pat Garrett was one of the CSHS DJs (I think)-- so was Tim Hudson (again- I think) Here are a few others: Boz Scaggs Gary Wright (Dream Weaver) James Taylor Chuck Mangione Atlanta Rhythm Section Bruce Springsteen (Born To Run) Pink Floyd (Dark Side) Bad Co. Wings David Bowie Queen KC and the Sunshine Band (admit it-you liked them) Jackson Browne Bob Seger (Live Bullet especially) Foreigner Allman Brothers Steve Miller WILD CHERRY!! Lynyrd Skynrd (FREE BIRD-w Headphones) ELO Earth, Wind and Fire Foghat (Slow Ride- LONG VERSION!!) Thin Lizzy Bob Welch (Ebony Eyes) ZZ Top (Tush) Poco Pure Prarie League (Amie) Hall and Oates Linda Ronstadt

03/27/08 09:11 PM #19     A N (N) Ok... Gap Band, Ohio Players, A Taste Of Honey (Boogie Oogie Oogie!), Tavares, Earth, Wind and Fire, Boz Scaggs, The Commodores, AWB, Stevie Wonder, Player, Little River Band, Donna Summer, Bee Gees, Stevie Wonder, Peaches and Herb, KC and the Sunshine Band (yes, I liked them!), Evelyn (Champagne) King, ELO (for sure!) LaBelle... what can I say...? ...I went dancing at the Kings Inn (?) a lot...

03/28/08 12:38 AM #20     Liz Gray I remember the Kings Inn too! OMG, that is a blast from the past!

03/28/08 09:55 AM #21     Linda Grubb Kings Inn was made into a club named the 327 club and was closed with in a year.. I think that it is an empty building now... Wonder what it would be like to bring it back to life!!!

03/28/08 04:28 PM #22     Timothy Hudson Wow...All these songs and bands bring back so many memories. The great thing is that we can load all of them onto our MP3 players and keep listening to them. I still have Eagles, EWF, Styx, Boston, Zepelin, Skynyrd, Molly Hatchet and many more in my play list. I've definitely become more of a rocker in my old age adding Metallica, Disturbd, Rob Zombie, Ozzy and more. I even have a few Rap songs (thanks to my son). I have tried to get my kids to listen to classic rock. I think it is fascinating that, 30 years later, I can hear a song and relate a specific High School event to it. Music is very powerful.

03/29/08 11:19 AM #23     Everett Setliff Greetings Class of CSHS 78... 30 years how is that possible??? My older children are in awe when I talk about some of the concerts I saw "Eagles, Hotel California Tour" comes to mind...also one of my favs...."Truckers Delight" it was a great time to be young...can you imagine graduating now...I do not think I could afford the piercings and INK...haha...LOL... But that is not the real reason I have chose to write in the Forum section...Reading through the Profiles has been most enjoyable...And I see that most of us have had children, and some have lost our Loved ones...one way or another...so sad... I have 4 beautiful children all relatively healthy at this time... But that was not always the case...One of my Daughters has End Stage Renal (Kidney) Failure... She received a donor Kidney July 28,2005 a really big day in all of our lives...She is doing wonderful now...But before the Transplant that was not always the case... In 2000 she was doing OK but not great...Someone nominated her for a "Make A Wish Trip" My entire Family was able to go to Disney World and she had Breakfast with Cinderella....What a trip...Hopefully it will be ingrained in her mind for the rest of her life... I see that another one of our classmates will hopefully have a Wish come True... My thoughts are that as part of our Reunion Program build into the cost of the Dinner and extra 20 dollars or so per person and then send that money... To Make A Wish... From The Graduating Class of Cave Spring High 1978 Not to show what a great Class we are but, because it is the right thing to do... and because I am thankful for the Make A Wish Foundation and the opportunity my family was given I hope I have not crossed any hidden boundaries... just thought that as we age and mature we could do more than reminiscence and have a good time at this special anniversary in our lives....but send something to a child and their family...with out excepting something back... & just to pass along another smile to a deserving young child Not trying to start a fund raiser, or get off track from the Our Reunion...Just thought I would bounce an idea of of my fellow classmate's...I would Love to hear all response both positive and if any negative... Thank You For Taking your time to read my Message... Everett L. Setliff

03/29/08 07:10 PM #24     Brian Parker . . . the King's Inn! Anyone remember the DJ who used to spin records there? You know, the black guy over on the side with the motley colored super afro wig and superfly glasses, shiny satin shirt and polyester pants with platform shoes! It was like a scene from the movie Carwash. (Tim Hudson had some nice platforms, too!) Another unforgettable Medium laying the Seeds for our Freedom, Saturday Night Live was doing its best stuff around our Senior year. Who can forget those Wild and Crazy Guys George and Yortuk Festrunk, the Czech Brothers with their open shirts and polyester pants trying their collective best to pick-up American Foxes! It might have just been me but probably more of us kept using those SNL euphemisms all the way through College. Coneheads, Consuming Mass Quanities of Beer! Belushi's Cheeburger. Cheeburger. Pepsi. Ankroyd introducing himself as: Fred Garvin - Male Prostitute. Oh yeah, and Bill Murray's Nick the Lounge Singer, every office has one but he was gooood-All Classic! We also used to sit up in Tim's room and listen to Cheech & Chong's Up In Smoke on 8-track. This week our Families got together in Ohio for Spring Break and Tim reminded me how much we also liked listening to the 1812 Overture. We'd blow-out our Jenson's! I even had an FM Converter . . . Please don't get me wrong though. It was never about what we were doing but who we were with that colored things GREAT! Listening to Carlin's 7 Words You Can't Say On TV, we didn't know the half of it, but our cohorts THAT'S what it was all about. We were just curious. Our friends shaped our memories. This is where I say THANK YOU! May my children find the friends I have in all of you! M*A*S*H, . . . anyone else?

03/30/08 02:02 PM #25     Laurie Bugner (Kerr) King's Inn and Thunderbird Club. Wow. We were soooo cool. There was that other place over in Salem too. Can't remember the name of the club but I remember dancing to the Village People there. Seems like we hung out in fields alot too. I do remember those platform shoes of Tim's. Perfect for all those Saturday Night Fever dances! We went to Spike's too. Wonder if it's still there?

03/30/08 02:42 PM #26     Betsy Crow It is definitely hard to forget Cow Hill. Still amazed when I go back and see all the houses there. I will never forget getting caught by the police there one night and him telling Denise and I that "we were bad children and he was going to take the bad children to the good police station and then call the good parents to come pick up the bad children...". Luckily he didn't! Guess we turned out to be pretty good adults anyway! I also have some music that shows up on my ipod from those days, particularly Bob Seger, the Eagles, and Led Zepplin. My 13 year old is a big fan of Zepplin, so it is nice to know that some music stays current. Got lots of Jimmy Buffet - always current! Of course I have lots of new stuff on there - like John Mayer, Matchbox Twenty, Bon Jovi (is that old or new?? - I guess both) and yes, of all things Eminem is on there; and you can't live in Nashville and not like some country - Mary Chapin Carpenter, Faith Hill and Kenny Chesney, to name a few - kind of eclectic tastes in music. I actually flipped through the channels this weekend and watched a little bit of the movie Sgt Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band. Peter Frampton was a heart throb back then but boy was that cheesy looking at it now. Peter Frampton actually plays at some local clubs in Nashville occasionally. He looks better with age - and from the looks of the pictures, I think we have all aged pretty darn well! Of course I still laugh when I tell people about the smoking block. School sanctioned smoking areas -- how times have changed. And of course the Drive-in out in Salem - let's see - how many people can you hide in my Vega and how many met us after jumping the fence in the back???

03/30/08 04:37 PM #27     Pam Cropper (Hilton) Brian, you are forgetting your favorite singer and song....King Tutt by Steve Martin. You did such a good job of imitating him too. I wonder if they have that at a karaeoke bar anywhere??? What is weird is I can hear your high pitched laugh right now, and see you wrinkling up your nose. Too funny. I remember Tim Hudson's platform shoes too. I think they were black.

03/30/08 10:31 PM #28     William Bova How do y'all remember all of this? I'm still trying to remember this past Friday night! I'm going to my living room now and crank-up my Bowes surround sound to some 3 Doors Down or Lincoln Park. That old stuff reminds me of how bored I used to get in Roanoke, but I still love all of ya!

03/31/08 03:51 PM #29     Greg Burbo Linda Ronstadt was one of my favorites, mainly because of Pat Walsh. He was from '79, but had many friends in our class. He was smart, normally soft-spoken and he had a real dry humour. He was involved in a lot of things literay and otherwise. When he was with his troops, a whole other side showed up. A few years ago, he was killed in a diving accident off the coast of Costa Rica. He is sorely missed by his friends of any class.

03/31/08 08:09 PM #30     Jeanne Worrell (Bell) Hello Everyone, I am looking forward to this Reunion, I hope everyone is well. I so enjoy reading all things posted. I have been so very busy over the years with my kids that I have let a few dear friends slip away but I hope they will understand. I have some great kids, and I`m a very proud MOM as I`m sure all of you are of your children, pets and just whatever has made life happy for you. I look forward to seeing you one and all.I do remember singing to Elton John with a few girlfriends...you know who you are! I enjoyed all kinds of music, but I think the must fun now is singing with or trying to dance with the music my kids listen to, what`s with the apple bottom jeans??? oh well it`s a good beat. Anyway, can`t wait...Jeanne
