Chris Brown Beverly, Great job setting up this website. This should be a lot of fun and help us plan for the 20 year reunion. Did I just say 20 years??? Wow, Time sure does fly. I trust all are doing well and I look forward to hearing from everyone. Chris

Chris Brown Talking about a Blast from the past....the pictures on that page are a trip down memory lane. I am going to have to go home and break out the old WHS annual's. I think that is the first and only time that I have ever worn PINK!!!! What was I thinking??? Actually we were servers at the class of 88 prom. I think they made us wear pink to get a good laugh.

Hey Bev and class of 1989...

Thanks so much for setting this up. This is a really great idea! I miss home, friends and family so much. This is such a great way to keep up w/ everyone.

Please keep in touch and let me know how you are. I hate that I missed the last reunion, but I will definitely try to make it to this one. It's kinda a long trip from here to there.

FYI, if I win the lottery, we are having our reunion in Cancun for a week!

One of my favorite memories is our senior play. Does anyone remember that? As Todd would say --Shoot a mile yes. Melissa stole the show. I still remember being back stage and the crowd roaring laughter at her. Eddie got some laughs too. I can't remember the story exactly...something about an undertaker's family. Sort of a cross between"Leave it to Beaver" and "The Adam's Family". I was married to Marcy, with Shannon and Jennifer as children.

Hey! Does anyone have graduation pictures and/or past reunion pictures? I have a book of pictures but have no idea why I don't have any from graduation. I am going to keep looking, I think I used to even have our class will!

Didn't someone take a picture at Chapman's at our 10 year reunion? And at the pool for our 15? I would love to have those to put on the home page.

Please also continue to help out with tracking down more classmates! :-)

Chris Brown The play was a lot of fun. I think is was called "Off the Track"...or was that junior play??? Melissa did steal the show....that outfit was classic.

I kind of had an idea for the reunion. Maybe this year I will get to attend.
Anyway,my husband's class reunions are centered around the Homecoming game. When it got to be 20 years, they also invited those classes that were having 25, 30, 45 year reunions, too. It was cool to see all the alma maters before them.
It was announced at the football game who was in attendance. I think beforehand, the went to out to dinner & after the game had a get together.
Just a thought.

Melissa Nowell (Adkins) I think this website has been quite the sucess! Maybe others will log on soon. Yes, I too remember the play but have no idea about what it was called. I think that has been the only time that I have sang solo to a room full of people!!! Melissa

I went back and looked in year book...the play was named "Finders Creepers"! I wish someone had it on video. Technology sure has changed since we were in high school!

Hey guys! What do you all think of Jamie's idea of having a meet at the Homecoming game next year? I think it would be cool! Maybe we could set up a tent?

For next May my suugestion would be have our dinner at Pickwick Landing? They have a nice resturant overlooking the water. Their website says they have conference rooms. We are up at Goat Island often and I would be happy to go by there and see what thier prices/options may be. I know they have a buffet but they also cater events. For those of you who may not know, it is located right by the dam and is very scenic.

Here is the website..

Just a thought! We have plenty of time and hopefully everyone will toss out thier ideas. Who has suggestions for what we might do to get together with kids included?

We have plenty of time and fun to hear everyones ideas! Bev

I remember that play... not the name, but I know that I missed a line because Melissa and TK had put a mouse in a suitcase I was supposed to open and I forgot to open it. I think that there are pictures in our senior yearbook. There is a picture of Todd with a pipe.

About the reunion... there is also the Pickwick Bell which is a steamboat. Audra and I went up and looked at it for a possible prom location, but it wasnt' big enough for that. It will accomidate up to 80. The website is www.pickwickbelle.com. Just another idea.

Jamie Green (Hill) I think Pickwick would be a great location. We have eaten at the restaurant several times and it is always nice. The view is an added bonus. If this is going to be a gathering for families, there is also a playground for the kids.

Chris Brown I hope everyone had a great Christmas!!! Can you believe that it is almost 2009???? Wow, time flies!! Hey, Jerry James contacted me on classmates.com and I invited him to join us here..Hopefully he will join in a day or so. Also, I am trying to get in touch with Kerry Jackson. Has anyone talked with him lately?

Hello Class of '89!
I just wanted to stop by and say hello and Happy Valentine's Day, which is coming up soon!

Today in Colorado, it is 20 degrees with a high expected to be close to 45 today. The sun is shining at the moment, but we are expected to have some rain/snow in the next few hours.

I hear that Mississippi has had some PERFECT weather, nice and warm and just the lightest wind. Here, a light wind is one that doesn't relocate the trashbin to the neighbor's yard...two houses away...hahahaha

Take care all and please, drop me a line sometime. nctindle1499@msn.com
