Donny Davenport Wendy McLendon Name: Stephen Sumner CommentsWell, It has been quite some time. I have been in the military for 18 years and am getting ready to retire. I am currently stationed in Pearl Harbor Hawaii onthe submarine base. Getting ready to go to a new and probably last assignment in June, for 3 years. I know I havent been to any of the reunions, but I have been invited and when I retire in SC, I will come to at least one reunion. Take care, Steve Name: Debbie Ward Casey CommentsJust wanted to tell everyone hey and that I am looking forward to our next reunion. I hope to see more of our fellow students at the next one. Name: kenny newsome Commentsi didnt graduate but it would be nice to hear from some people i knew i am having a hard time remebering anyone CommentsGreetings from Bainbridge, GA! I am looking forward to seeing everyone in August. The reunion is tentatively planned for August 26th - 27th. Yetta Rodgers and Diana Wells are helping with the planning. Do you have any ideas? Let us know if you could help. Let others know to send their e-mail address. Thanks! CommentsI can't believe it has been almost 20 years since we graduated. I'm working with Hildy Rudd "Conder" and Diana Wells to coordinate our 20th Reunion. Please email me your current contact information. I look forward to hearing from you. CommentsDoes anyone know the plan for next year's reunion (dates, etc.)? I was sitting in Iraq last year when a soldier asked me when I graduated from high school (he had not yet been born in 1985) and I realized that we must be close to a 20-year reunion. Hope this finds everyone safe. Take care. CommentsHey everyone. I would love to hear from old friends and to find out how everyone is doing. Me, I live in Columbia, Alabama. I have 2 kids, they are honor students at HCHS (ages 15 & 13). I am a RN at SAMC in Dothan. I work in an Intensive Care Unit and absolutley love my job. I've been a nurse for almost 5 years now. I guess the planning for our 20th year class reunion will be underway in a couple of months. Can't believe it has been that long. Hope to hear from yall soon. CommentsI am married to Thomas Denney (Class of 1983). I live in Sugar Land, TX (Houston) and am a member of Holy Cross Episcopal church. I have one human child, William (born 03-03-03) and one fur child, Rorke, a Rhodesian Ridgeback (born 01-05-98). I work for the Cameron division of Cooper Cameron in their Western Hemisphere engineering group. I have lived in Tejas since 09-01-1997. Prior to that, I was a design engineer in Shalimar, Florida and blew things up for a living. I get home about twice a year and usually run into at least one former class mate (where else - at Walmart!). After living here for awhile, I have to add the comment that people in TX don't know a d@*! thing about football rivalries. Aggies and Longhorns just think they hate each other - there is no real depth of feeling. War Damn Eagle!
CommentsHi everybody! I am still in Hamburg, Germany but I am back to Ozark next week, march 26th.- march 30th 2002. Hope that you are all well and see ya soon, Marcus
CommentsI forgot to add this.... What has happened to Donald Lisenby? Does anyone know?
CommentsHey everyone! I always think about you guys. I can't wait for 2005. WOW 20 years! We are SOOOO old! :)
