Just hoping and praying that everyone in Ozark has made it through Hurricane Ivan in good shape. I live north of Houston, Texas and we have experienced our share of bad weather but we're probably overdue for one of those soon. Take care!

Pat, This is a great site, Congrats. I am keeping the names and addresses for the Class of "72" and would like for everyone who has not contacted anyone from the class to please send me your info, especially the e-mail address. I can get the rest later. Ya'll, if you missed the 30 Yr Reunion you missed a blast. We had over 100 classmates to come out for the evening. A vote was taken and there will be a 35 Yr Reunion. Many thanks go out to Jeanne Thomas, Debbie Marcum, Theresa Parrish, Betty Keel and others who made that evening possible and a huge success. It's amazing how young you feel when you get together with your classmates. I have a second e-mail address to send your info to;   If you are looking for anyone from the Great Class of "72", give me a buzz.

It sure was good seeing old friends this past Saturday. I'm looking forward to the 35th. There were some I had not seen for 30 years and it was great to see them. I remember the friends we have lost to illness and tragedy and hope everyone else will remember them and the good times we had with them. Looking forward to seeing everyone in 5 years and it will pass quickly so everyone stay in touch.

What a grand evening! Thank you Jeanene Thomas, John Sexton and everyone else who made the 1972 "30 year reunion" possible. My wife and I enjoyed the occasion. I was truly sorry it had to end so quickly. Absence indeed makes the heart grow fonder. I enjoyed seeing and talking with everyone I possibly could. For those I missed take care, remember these special times and God Bless All.

Thanks to Jeanene Thomas and all the local folks who organized the Class of '72 "30 Year Reunion" and made it possible for all of us to get together. It was great to see so many familiar faces in the same place at the same time and to visit with so many of them. I think everybody had a real good time. Y'all take care. Patti

Hi! A high school friend, Debbie Marcum, sent me this URL. We graduated in 1972. During our Sophomore year, I moved with my family to Kansas. In 1972 I graduated from a High School there. I have submitted my name and email address and the graduation year, "1972". A lot of exciting things have happened to me since that move to Kansas. I now live in Germany. I will always consider the Ozark area to be "home". Through the years I have lost contact to most of my acquaintances and friends from CHS. I would appreciate it if I could be listed with the class of 1972 so I can find my lost friends and colleagues. If it isn't possible, I do understand. Thank you! Barbara Rushing Flegel

Nice to finally find a website for Carroll High and to try and find everyone again. Especially if anyone knows Patricia Linder or Lynnette Bishop from class of '72, I would appreciate hearing from them. Living near Houston, Tx. for last 23 years so I would love to come back to Ozark and see how things have changed. Thanks again, Pat Perault, for this great web site. I'm sure you have made a lot of old Army brats happy!

This is Stan's Lisenby's wife, Suzanne, and I was playing on the Internet and found your site. Stan's mother died Saturday, January 1 and we will be coming down there on Tuesday for visitation at Fuqua - Bankston and the funeral on Wednesday morning. If you know anyone who may remember Stan and still be in town - I know it would mean a lot if he could see them.

Thanks! Suzanne

PS Great web site by the way!
