Thank you to all who planned and executed the 45th H.S. Class Reunion. I know from experience planning events that they are a lot of work and require managing such a miriad of details.
I have a suggestion that is from left field. How about a potluck dinner and get together next time?. We could make a $5 contribution for a meat dish and all bring something to go with the meat dish. Maybe we could arrange with South to allow us to bring potluck if they provide the meat dish.. As a former Registrar of a college I know we made exceptions to our "no outside food" rules for certain special events.
As an individal that wears hearing aids it would help to keep the volume of the video at a lower level.
Again, thank you for all the hard work and the new memories that were made last weekend.
Thank you, Paul! Flah Gordon is one of the silliest, over-the-top movies ever, but I love every minute of it and have watched it every time I catch it on TV. "He'll save every one of us!"

Jerry, No the black Corvette wasn't mine. I was told it was a rental! As far as the reunion went, I haven't heard many negatives from the people who attended. The dinner was held at a public golf course, not a country club! The social was held at SLCC as a compromise, instead of the park. We can have the 50th at SLCC and it will end up being way more $$ than what we charged this year. We try to keep the cost down so more people will attend. FYI, the one thing the committee knows for sure, there is, NO WAY TO MAKE EVERYONE HAPPY!
Tony, the ones that were happy for sure were the ones who came to at least one of the nights. It was a great time. I enjoyed both nights. It was really fun to have the first one at the old South High, and the second night was a nice venue and lots of fun too. The food was simple but very nice and delish! I don't know why anyone who made the effort to come would complain at this point. Thanks again to all who worked hard to make it happen!
A quick note to the reunion committee, Thank you for all of the work that you did. The venue was great and the menu was as well. I got the chance to visit with dozens of people and had a great time. As I am sure you are aware, you will never please such a diverse group, but as for me, great job.
I really did enjoy the Friday night at South. I was overshelmed by the outpouring I received from so many, even you I really didn't know in high school. I'm still rocking from losing my nephew so I guess the chinks are beginning to show in this Peter Pan wannabe person.
I've been a Bratt to many of you over the years and I plan to put all that aside. As they say, "Life is too short to carry rocks!" So going forward I'll try to carry marshmellows and if I can I'll share some with you.
If you catch me crying please slap me upside the head and tell me a good dirty joke to get me laughing again.
I really enjoyed so many things about our reunion. I want to send out a big thank you for the committee. As someone that moved away right after high school i loved being able and see some of the wonderful people from my youth! I will always try to come and I am grateful that there are great people that are willing to go to all the work and effort to bring us together every few years! Thank you! Thank you! Perhaps the vett was a rental and perhaps it wasn't. It is fun to be guessing about it.
OK then, I'll vote for this one. I always thought Clint Walker was kinda dreamy.
Debuting in 1955, "Cheyenne" made history as television's first hourlong western and introduced brawny actor Clint Walker to the world as the jack-of-all-trades loner Cheyenne Brodie. Raised by an American Indian tribe after the death of his parents, the physically imposing Cheyenne calls upon the many skills learned from his past as he wanders the Old West, finding action and adventure at every turn. Like many other productions during the Golden Age of Television, "Cheyenne" had its share of guest stars who would later become famous in their own right, including Rod Taylor, Dennis Hopper, George Kennedy, James Garner, Richard Crenna and Michael Landon.
Davy Crockett was my heart throb when I was about 4 or 5 years old. (I guess it was actually Fess Parker who was) I don't remember learning much about the actual Davy Crockett from the TV show though.
Ok, here's another one - digging deep. At the risk of embarassing him, I think pretty much every girl in 2nd grade at Hawthorne Elementary had a crush on Scott Seare. At recess we were all playing our invented game of "Swamp Fox" and, of course, Scott was the fox himself with his band of merry men and all us adoring girls hovering around.
Anyone else remember SWAMP FOX? Oh, and I didn't realize until I was just watching this video that the Swamp Fox was none other than Leslie Nielsen!
You've got my wheels turning, Paul! The minute I saw Mingo, Dan'l Boone's native american companion, who was played by Ed Ames, one of my favorite songs from high school sprang to mind:
A special thanks to all of you who helped with and attended the reunion. I've heard a great time was had by all!!
Per Preston's group email yesterday, the 2015 Reunion Video is now available and accessable on the yellow directory bar to the left, as well as the 2010 Reunion and Reflections videos. The Reflections video has been updated now also including those of our class who have passed away since it was produced back in 2010.
A special thanks to Scott Seare who helped with the music, those who contributed their pics and especially to Preston, who set up and supports the ongoing maintenance of this website!!!
While we're having an Ed Ames fest, wasn't he the one on Johnny Carson's Tonight Show, who threw the axe in a very unfortunate spot on the diagram of a man?
For all you Grandmas and Grandpas,
