Comments: Hi guys, I was so disappointed that I missed the 20th reunion. I was living in Colorado and found out about it a little too late to make plans to attend. For some strange reason this Feb, my family and I decided to leave the arid west and venture back to the humid south. I am looking forward to seeing you in Sept- Sue

Comments: Hi you all, can't believe that it's already time to be planning another reunion. Even though some of you are not local we would love to have your input. I'm sure some of you all remember Holly Huffman, she suggested that the name tags be in larger print, I know exaclty where she is coming from. So if you have any suggestions or ideas, please let us know. Take care and see you all in Sept.

Comments: Terry Putnam is not the only woman looking for Billy Truesdale...Alot of women are looking for B.T. probably trying to get child support!!! 25 years of rambling around he probably has a little league team fathered by now. If anybody finds Billy, tell him to call me. I hope all of you and your families have Wonderful Holiday Season!!! I'll see most of you next fall at the BIG 25TH SILVER REUNION.

Comments: I just so happen to be looking for some reunion information for the class of 1980, and stubbled across your web page. To tell you the truth it was pretty cool to browse through your site and look at faces I had not seen since 1979. In addition, I was saddened to learn about the loss of several 1979 classmates. You guys are clearly doing an excellent job and I wanted to take the opportunity to commend you on same. Take Care, Tony Anderson

Comments: JUST WANTED TO SAY THANK YOU FOR YOUR ACKNOWLEDGMENTS TOWARDS CURTIS. HE WAS A VERY GOOD FRIEND OF MINE. WE HAD THE CHANCE TO DO A SHOW IN BRAZIL AND IN THE NEW JERSEY CLUB 88 WHERE WE STARTED HANGING OUT. HE LOVED NEW YORK CITY AND THAT'S WHERE HE ALWAYS WANTED TO STAY. IT WAS VERY NICE TO SEE A FOLLOW UP ON HIS REMEMBRANCE. I DID ATTEND HIS FUNERAL AS EARL "THE PEARL" MONROE READ HIS LAST RESPECTS. HERE'S TO CURTIS...

[Please note: This entry is an e-mail sent to the webmaster/class web site regarding our late classmate Curtis Hairston. In his all-too-brief life, Curtis had the chance to live his dream of being a recording artist which is more than most folks can say after a full life much less half a lifetime. It's always good to hear from Curtis's fans. Remember! -- Matt Wallace, Class Webmaster]

Comments: As returning reunion chairperson, I just sent out an email regarding our initial 25th reunion planning meeting to be held on Thursday, November 20th at First Christian Church in Kernersville from 6-8pm. The email list that was used is based upon the most recent information Matt has captured on our website. If for any reason you did not receive an email from me (sbeshears@triad.rr.com), please respond back to me or Matt Wallace, the class webmaster, so we can determine the issue. We are planning a very exciting silver reunion so stay tuned to the website for more information. Please ensure you maintain your most current contact information with us so we can stay in touch.

Comments: First time on the web site. Great job Matt, Keep up the good work. Missed the 20th reunion, Found out about the reunion after it happen. Hope to hear about our 25th. Sorry to hear about the loved ones that are no longer with us. I was took back to see who was on the list. I have lived in Florida (outside of Orlando) since 1982 so sometimes I don't hear the news about classmates. I do visit at least twice a year to see family, but I am usually only there for a couple of days at a time. Glad I can keep in touch through the web site now that I have it. Hope to hear from you.

Comments: Hello there, I would like to say that if anyone remembers me from school they should be given a medal. I did not do much while at school and did not know many people. I kept to myself and didn't go out a lot. I don't even remember going to any sports games that we had. So there I am probably not the person that you will remember. I have been fine. I have married a beautiful young lady and had five children. I am attending Reformed Theological Seminary in Charlotte. I have lived in Atlanta GA for the past 15 years and haven't talked to anyone who graduated with me since maybe a year or two after graduation. Since I moved to Atlanta I have been doing public speaking (motivational talks) and preaching at churches. I am glad that this website is here so that maybe I can remember who I used to run with in school and see what they are doing. I hope to be at the class reunion next year so please post it so I can come.

It has been a rough year but I was able to go back to work. It was great to hear from so many of you. I am looking forward to seeing you all next year and plan to go to the Homecoming Game this year and seeing those friends from 78 and 80. I am trying to get brother John to come home this year to attend his 25th. Love to you all. HEY BOOZER save a dance for me.
