I hate I missed the reunion. For everyone out there, yes, Roy McDonald and I are still married. Some people cannot believe we made it 20 years. I just found the website; I love it; someone did a great job. I hope to hear from some of you.

Joyce Stafford Williams from Winston-Salem wrote on Monday, 31 July 2000, 22:52:53 EDT: E-mail: jswpdw@earthlink.net High School: East Forsyth Class: 1979 Comments: My apologies, Matt, for not having signed the guestbook before. I have made several trips to the site and you've done a great job. A prior committment kept me away from the reunion. Maybe next time. And, by the way, the fetal pig count holds at zero. Now, get back to the GOP convention!! Class Webmaster response: Please note: For those of you at a loss over the arcane references, this entry resulted from a personal e-mail sent by the webmaster, and I hope you'll allow me to explain. I used the subject line "Buried any fetal pigs lately" which is a reference to a bonding experience Joyce and I, not to mention the other students of Eleanor Ross's Advanced Biology class, had at the end of our junior year. The final dissection of the year was a thorough study of mammalian physiology utilizing fetal pigs. Mrs. Ross had us dispose of the carcasses by ceremoniously burying them behind the football stadium up by the chain link fence at the top of the hill overlooking I-40. I remember it well, and Joyce had remarked on it when she signed my copy of Aquila 1978. Those of you who know me, know that I'm very opinionated and none too shy about expressing my opinions regardless of how controversial they may be or who might be upset by them. Even so, please pardon my political partisanship on our class web site; it is offered for information purposes only. As the son and grandson of retired Teamsters and a native Tar Heel, I grew up blue-collar, union, and Southern; I don't think I have to say "Democrat." Though I was registered Unaffiliated, in the six biennial elections from 1980 through 1990, the number of Republicans I voted for can be counted in single digits and that number includes neither Ronald Reagan nor Jesse Helms. I probably voted for Steve Neal more often than I voted for a Republican! I moved to Guilford County in 1991 after my Gulf War service but waited to register to vote until 1992. Apparently, five years of active duty in the Army did something to me because I inconceivably declared myself to be "Republican"! Like all good converts, I'm a "true believer." Since 1992, I have voted for Republicans only and adamantly have refused to vote for any Democrat in a partisan race. Part of my election year activism is the inclusion of suitably pro-GOP comments in the signature block of my personal e-mail. Currently I'm using "Your country is a terrible thing to waste. Vote Republican!" and "SMASH CLINTONISM! VOTE REPUBLICAN!". This is the source of Joyce's "GOP convention" comment. By the way, speaking of GOP convention speakers, when I was stationed at Ft. Lewis, WA, I had the honor of marching for General Colin Powell when he was the guest of honor for a division change of command ceremony! HOO-WAH! -- Matt Wallace, Class Webmaster Pam Richardson from Winston-Salem wrote on Monday, 31 July 2000, 16:54:29 EDT: E-mail: pamr1999@yahoo.com High School: East Forsyth Class: 1980 Comments: Hello to all! I hope everyone is doing well. We're planning our 20 year reunion so if you know of anyone from the Class of 1980, please ask them to send their full name and mailing address to efhs1980@yahoo.com.

I have been in touch with one classmate since first hearing about the reunion and it was nice to catch up. I missed this reunion but plan to attend the 25th year reunion. It is still hard to believe that we have been out of school for 21 years now. Matt, thanks for the hard work you have done on the web site. It looks good!

I hope that we all can get back together in 2004. For some of those that did not make it, hopefully they will be able to attend this one. Thanks again to everybody that helped make this a big success. Look forward seeing the classmates of 1979 again.
