I am thankful for all my classmates :) Hope you all have a Happy Thanksgiving. We are not heading south but staying up here and eating with all of John's family this year.

Hang in there Jolee.

Suz - definately coming to the Noke this summer. Zach can't wait to come back to spend another week on the James River kayaking. If I miss you at Christmas then we will definately get together this summer.

Susan Jones (Badger) I am going to plan a lunch or something. Jolee is very good at that but with Facebook we should be able to get together. Lunch will probably be easier for most..I am sure the alumni events will happen too. Or I hope so. If not then definitely this summer!!! I am so excited to be moving back. So much to do but worth it!

I hope that everyone had a FABULOUS Thanksgiving holiday. Along with so many people, I am so thankful for so many things ---- especially all the "reconnections" of my NHS classmates. I also want to send out a special "thinking of you" to Jill Camper Giles who should be having her baby anytime now.

I hope to see everyone at Christmas. If not, then I will do my best to attend the next get together in 2010!

Blessings to you all!

Was so sad to miss all the NHS Alumni at Blue 5 this past weekend...I'm definately in for the next one!

Hope everyone had a GREAT Thanksgiving! Our was quiet which was really nice.

Off to WV again tomorrow for the rest of the week. Hopefully it will be my last multi-day trip of the year. Totally ready for a NHS lunch in the next couple of weeks if anyone is available.

Jolee...hang in there girl, and know you are in all our thoughts and prayers.

Susie...we will definately plan something for while you are here.

Have a great week Vikings!!

Just in case you don't go to the homepage regularly...I have put a survey on that page regarding a Christmas get-together the day after Christmas. Carla has graciously agreed to have it at her home in Botetourt. Details to follow, but basically the same, fun, laughter, and reconnecting that we always do!!

Just an FYI -- Jill Camper is in the hospital hoping that she will go into labor soon! Keep her in your prayers!

I have posted an announcement on the Home Page. David Robinson passed away Monday.

I'm saddened by the news about Dave :(

Me too Vick...for anyone not on Facebook, I ordered a funeral spray from Northside Class of '88. I just felt like it was the right thing to do.

Thank you, Jolee, for ordering the spray. Do you have an account set up for this type of situation in which we can contribute to the funds? (or just send you some money?)

I don't want to seem nosey, but has anyone found out why David passed away? He is just way too young!

We have no collection fund...just me. We all knew and loved David and his family needed to know. I paid for the spray and it was $200.00. People have graciously volunteered to help out and if they want, I am okay with that. A few people want to mail me a check...and that is fine...here is my address:

2821 Old Franklin Turnpike
Rocky Mount, VA 24151

Have a good weekend all!

Trina Schossow (Folden) Jolee....thanks for always doing for the Class of '88! Jill....congrats on baby Savannah! Lunch plans....we need to try to coordinate a lunch the week after Christmas. Kristen Witt Bray is in and 28th-30th works best for her. Susie should still be here, I think. Let's try to get something together! I'm wide open, should be a quiet week for me.

Thanks Trina for trying to organize this! Susie will still be in, so that would be great if we could all get together at the same time. I would love to see everyone!

ok, sad...I won't be in until January. Kristen, when does you class schedule kick back in? We need to do lunch and a movie soon...got lots of time off coming up.
Suz - I guess I will have to get up with you come June...back yard BBQ and all that :) Trina - still up for the girl's night...do you have all those DVDs ready? I did check on tickets...all that were left were in the nose bleed section...and I'm already blind, if I'm going to pay $50 a ticket I want to see it... so we might as well watch it on tv.

For those in the path of the Winter Storm: Please be careful ---- just stay inside and enjoy the scenery! And for those traveling home for the holidays, please have a safe trip!!!!

Carla Boyd (McCabe) OK Guys, I have a lot of snow in my driveway. Think we need to move this thing on the 26th to some other place, does anybody have any suggestions? Maybe Buffalo Wild Wings? Jolee has her hands full for the day so lets try to figure this out ourselves. Sorry - I was hoping the snow would melt.

12/23/09 11:42 AM	#2437
Susan Jones (Badger) Buffalo wild wings sounds good to me...where is it? :)

12/23/09 11:45 AM	#2438
Trina Schossow (Folden) Carla...I agree with you. BWW works for me, was fun last time. We may want to consider the one at Tanglewood over the Valley View one, just for size/spacing. Any other Vikings plan to come out? Let's hear from ya'll. Also, if you think you can make it to lunch one day early next week, let me know - Kristen and Suz are both in. Hope everyone is having a great day!!
