Boy how we all have changed. Name: Sam Taylor CommentsI went to Carroll High in the early 70's but was military brat and did not graduate. I attended 70 and 71. Had a friend named Mike Avery and wondered if anyone knew him and possibly his where abouts. Had a great at Ft Rucker and Ozark. Great web site. Name: Peg Wilkinson CommentsHi, I left Carroll during my Jr. year moved to Mobile and then married Tom Baillargeon. We were married a couple of years, divorced, no children. I married a wonderful Navy pilot and enjoyed 26yrs moving around the country w/the military. He is retired now from the military and works as an exec. in the defense industry for a major corp. Life has been good, but I'll never forget the good times in Ozark. I'd love to hear what happened to some of the people I knew back then. We have two children, a girl a sr. in college and a son that has graduated from college and is an officer on a commerical tanker. Anyone know what happened to the Nooners? Peg CommentsDoes anyone know of a 30th class reunion this summer? I missed the 20th and would really like to see everyone. Thanks, Strick
CommentsIs there a 30th runion planed this year? I'm @ Ft. Rucker. If so, would someone let me know. Thanks, Jeff
CommentsWill be in Oz beginning 7/8/01 and staying for about 6-8 weeks. It would be great to hear from old classmates. I'll be staying at my Mom's house while I'm in town. The number there is 774-8240. My current email will be discontinued effective 7/8/01 as well. Great site... Brenda
CommentsThis is a cool site. Your education did not go to waste Pat. I was pretty quiet in high school. I hope someone remembers me. Am curious about some of the teachers i remember. Mr Mcoy (chemistry) I understand that Mrs. Barnette died. Mr Lockhart(history). Without my yearbook in front of me memory fails as to the names of other favorites. I remember Mr. Mcoy sending students from his chemistry class to get things like a dead cockroach from the band teacher. I guess that is why i remeber chemistry. Living in Yuma Az (but it's a dry heat) and working as a Hospice nurse. Am still looking for the love of my life so if ur rich I am single. I miss the area and slow pace of Ozark.
CommentsGlad to see such a good web site. Been away from the Ozark area since 73 till now. Have done 22 yrs flying helicopters in the Army and stationed here at Ft Rucker for my last tour. Living in Enterprise. Love to hear from Class of 73 or 74. Jeff
