Chris Akers

Hello all,

It was great catching up with everyone Friday night despite the crappy weather... sorry we had to bail at the bar, but Kelly *really* can't stand cigarette smoke. It was cool seeing a few folks who couldn't make it to the reunion.

I stopped by Jon Groves' garage again on Saturday to tell him he was missed. All you guys in Roanoke should use him as your mechanic if you need anything done - he's the best. Maybe if enough people stop by his shop and pester him, he'll make it to the next event. :)

Jolee, Dean and Carla (and everyone else who helped with this event) - great work as always!

Jolee Clarke (Preston)

Chris A ~ You bailed!! Ha ha! I saw you leaving and none of us knew why! We sure did miss you and the missus.

Next time you are in, if you approve, I would love to catch up with you and Kelly and....well, drive your car if you're okay with that....I LOVE it...and would like to see it.

Jolee, I just got back. I took a nice long walk around my daddy's old homeplace and spent some time with his family (the 1 year anniversary of his death is coming up) so it was the peace I needed to have some time to reflect. Let me know if you have time for lunch this week if not I will bring the fishbowl back to you....yes I still have it!

I am sorry I missed out on the good time it sounds like everyone had a blast. So glad you all got together and I think Northside won so GO VIKINGS! Can't wait to see the shirt and get the CD. Carla, can I meet you somewhere this week to pick up and exchange $$$$.

Tony, no more talk of politics for me. After Colin Powell's abandonment I am once again speechless. READ MY LIPS no more taxes I will send you my bill...........

Have a great week! Peace out! Turbo

Hey All, just got home...ugh, I hate that drive back...anyway, had every intention to come out to Martins after I had dinner with the parents...however, we ran into some "family drama" long story, needless to say i was moving some boxes Saturday night and headed back to Bedford. Miss you guys.

Kristin FR - thanks for the heads up, didn't want to bail on you...dropped off Ken's coat with your dad. He's still such a great guy. Same ol Dad. Tell Ken it was good meeting and talking to him, he's great. Tell Mike I wish him the best. Next time in, I'll give you a holler.

Susie - glad I didn't bail on you either...guess it all worked out. Tell your dad hello. Please come crash with KW and me :)

Trina - Thanks for everything, I owe you a beer (or tweleve)..it was great hanging out with ya Friday..still working on a name for John other than Roberto.lol

Talk to everyone soon. Headed to bed...

Vicky

Okay folks...anyone who wants to pick up their shirt can call me and we will make a plan. 992-5588. Best time to get me is after 3pm.
Anyone wanting me to mail it can message me to let me know. I will let you know what you will owe with the shipping and you can send a check...as soon as I get the check I will put the shirt in the mail.
As far as "extra" shirts...I have 3 large hoodies, 2 large t-shirts(men or womens) and 2 medium ladies cut t-shirts.

Back to the grind...

Did anyone end up with two CDs? Kristen Fisher-Rush left hers in the back of my truck, but all I found was an extra coat.

Thanks to everyone that came out, I had an awesome time, and wish I would have kept in touch with more people over the years.

Barry L. what you said Friday night about how we all come back to the same point..from graduation to the 10-15-20 year reunions, it's so true. I'm glad we got to hang out Friday night, sorry about the Tech game :( GO LIONS !!!

10/20/08 02:26 PM #948    

Kristin Fisher (Rush)

Hey Everyone!
I had a great time hanging out with everyone Friday night. Thanks to all who helped put this together. I can't wait until the next get together.
Oh, i might need to get another cd because apparently mine got lost in the shuffle between vicky/s car and mine. Unless someone accidently picked it up.
Anyway, i loved the margarita's Shannon, thanks for sharing. Until next time, i will see you in the forum.

Erik Goacher

I, too, had a blast Friday night.....most fun I've had in a while. It was great seeing everyone.

Barry, Tommy & Anders-so glad you guys made it out...it was just like old times. Looking forward to getting together again soon....can't wait to try the yard meat!

Jolee, Vicky, Susie, Chris, Kelly-I really enjoyed talking with each of you.

Trina, Missy, Greg, Shannon, Kristen, Sean-wish we would've talked more...I'll make sure we do next time.

Kelly-I loved being one of your Nelson twins!

Carla-the hoodies rock!

Stefanie & Stacey-you girls crack me up....so funny! Glad you both made it to this gathering.

BTW-How many of you went home & looked up Jeff Alexander in the yearbook? Good to see you Jeff!

Vicky Lakes (Fuller)

Erik - I want you to know that I told Jess about your "Apple Bottom Jeans" story... she too would have died for her dad to do that to her. That's our job, to embarrass our kids right? As for Jeff Alexander, I knew immediately the yearbook picture of what he looked like, just had a hard time putting the past picture to the now. Sorry I didn't get the chance to talk to him :(

Chris Akers, as for us comparing songs, "Afternoon Delight" is still running thru my head. What I was going to share and got side-tracked was that I put the song "Sexual Healing" as John's ringtone...all in good fun considering he works from home, it's when I would call him during Youth Group that he had to start putting it on vibrate. Your wife is great, so sweet, sorry you guys couldn't hang with us longer, you should have said something before we went inside. I went to get my id (yea we had to show our age to get in if you can believe that) and you guys were gone :(

Kristin FR- I finally emptied out my truck, but still didn't find anything but some Bojangles..ha...I still remember one being in the way back with your yellow coat. I'll look again to see if it slid between the seats or something...

Greg - next time you and the Mrs. head to Lancaster to go shopping call/email me ahead of time. I'm only 20 miles from there.

Shannon - same for you, next time you visit your sister in Hershey. Would love to have you over.

Kelly - If you come up after Christmas to see Gramps, let me know and we'll make plans to go out...I'll buy the Yuengling :) GO PHILLIES !!!!!!!!!

Barry - what the heck, I just downloaded that picture of us...20 years I wait to get a picture of the two of us and you make that face ?!!! Geez. Thanks for sharing the Zander stories...he must take after you. LOL. Just kidding. Let me know if you ever need Camp Counselors, I have two teenage girls I wouldn't mind shipping off for a week or two in the summer.

****info on mailing shirts****
Here is my plan on mailing shirts...they are all slightly different shipping prices...depending on where they are going. So, if you want me to mail your shirt...send me a check for what you owe plus $6.00(it's easier than dealing with a few cents difference on each one) for shipping and I will get it right out to you!
S,M,L and XL were $20
2XL were $21
3XL were $22
tshirts were $8

Yard meat for everyone! (AKA pastured poultry; chicken & turkey to be exact, see my wife's alter-ego at www.blueridgepoultrycoop.com.)

Soooo, Chris A: Is there a MORE SPECIFIC reason that your wife Kelly didn't want to be in the smoke? Could it also be related to why you were asking so many questions about my kids??? Hmmmmm...

Anyway, just wanted to get a good rumor started.

10/20/08 07:39 PM #953    

 

Vicky Lakes (Fuller)

Barry - I think you hit on something there with Chris & Kelly...

As for the yard meat, well up here in Dairy Land we don't see many chickens..but John smokes a mean brisket. Ever had some buffalo? Perhaps when Susie moves back to Rke we can have a cookout.

Just checked out the website...ummm tasty. Guess I'll have to get the parents to buy me a turkey and bring it up for Thanksgiving. Yum

Erik~
Maybe I will see you and the wifey at Salem sometime soon...Hopefully (Lord, I realllly hope) Kenzie will make the JV b'ball team. Is one of your crew cheering this year? Even if not, I'm in the parking lot all the time...waiting to pick up Kenzie.

I got to talk to Stacey Parr as she was driving home Sunday morning...she expressed how sad she was to be leaving, that she had such a great time both nights. I told her that was how so many of us felt back in July after the reunion. Then you could only hope to catch up with more classmates from this point on. I do hope we can all continue to get together.

Hey everyone,

Yes Vicky we can have a party anytime. My dad would love it! Hell you can go see him now he would let you party even if I am not there. My niece, Kayla may be having a new year's eve party at Grandpas..how in the hell does that happen??????? I said Dad teenagers love loud music, he said that's ok she will be fine. WHAT????? Oh well I love it and glad my dad is close to the kids!

Well being back in San Antonio sucks. I am once again alone! Well have my dog and she was so pissed at me this morning. I think it's a combo of me taking her away from her 2 friends last night and leaving her for a week.

My kids were excited to see me back. They hated the substitute. They asked if I was ok because I was in a bad mood. Just said I miss home. And man do I miss it.

So I am planning on driving home for Christmas. I get 2 weeks off so I think I will. I am not into the ATL airport anymore. Driving is better and Nikki can come with me.

I am still planning on the move this summer. Hopefully things will go well and I will either rent or sell my house. Pray hard!

Kristen WB sorry I missed your call. If I don't call you this week definitely this weekend.

Well you guys have a wonderful week..talk to you soon!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY SHANNON DAVIS NUCKOLLS!!!!!!

Jolee Clarke (Preston)

Susie~
Hope you get to come back home soon. It just isnt the same without your smiling face. I will keep my fingers and toes crossed that your house sells. So, is your dad doing okay since his surgery? Sounds like he is recuperating well. Which day is Mr. Dyer's surgery?

Going in late today...tried to sleep in...there is no such thing with a Jack Russell. She is getting "fixed" today, so Johnny just took her to the vet. I am teaching an end of life class tonight from 4-7:30, so I decided to go into the office later this am. Hmmm....the bed is calling! I am too old to be staying out too late! Anybody else feel like that?

Kelly~
Hope all is well with you....miss you! Let's get together for lunch sometime soon.

If anybody ever wants to do lunch, I can go just about any day besides Monday....but I am right downtown so I can run anywhere.

Turbo~
Where are you now? Let's definitely get together soon.

Sean B.~
???????? Helloooooooo?

Jolee - the car is nothing special, but is quite fun to drive. Will let you know next time we're in town and have some time.

Barry and Vicky - geeeeeeez. There's nothing to see here, folks... move along. =:)

Trina Schossow (Folden)

Happy Birthday Shannon!!

Jolee/Salem Girls...I could do lunch one day this week, let me know if there are any takers.

Vicky...glad you made it home safe. Hope that you are recouping from the drive. I drive ALOT, so I know how it drains you.

10/21/08 02:33 PM #964    

 

Vicky Lakes (Fuller)

Trina - I couldn't do your job. I hate the driving. Not so much for 2-3 hour trips, but anything beyond that is killer. Don't think I would mind flying from here to there though :)

Chris - Just yanking your chain. It was good to see you though. Take care, until the next time....

Happy Birthday Shannon.

Shannon Davis (Nuckolls)

Thank you for all the BIRTHDAY wishes! It made my day.

I had the best time over the weekend with all of you. I laughed so much. Enjoyed all the conversations, memories, and crazy/hilarious situations.

Erik~you are the only stepdad who recieved a text message stating your stepdaughter's friends think you are hot! Yes, I had to look up Jeff A. too. He was in our 11th grade yearbook but I did not see him in the '88 book.

I need to make a list of thoughts for each of you & I will post it.

Jolee~Thank you for organizing the get together for Homecoming weekend. You're the best.

Carla~The hoodies are perfect. I love it & will wear it when it gets cool down here.

I am going to put the picture taken of us in front of the Jr. High (with our hoodies on) in a frame & put in my classroom next semester. I will be teaching a "Reading Elective" class at the middle school where I substitute.

Girls if you ever want to have a slumber party like Jolee mentioned, I would like to offer Raleigh as the host city. You are all welcome anytime at my house or we could get some rooms at the Embassy Suites (my favorite) & shop, eat, maybe go to a day spa? & go out on the town. I'll put some websites for you to check out & you all can tell me if you are interested.
