Hi Linda,

I have fallen behind on reading our message board. I just wanted to tell you I've added my prayers to the many others that I've read on this post. I've been the escort for several cancer patients to MD. They are a wonderfully caring group of doctors and nurses and office personnel. But I'm praying that you won't need them. God is good. See you at the reunion. - Suzanne Vickers Bilodeau

So sorry that Hap & I won't make it for the big 50th. We have close friends getting married that weekend here in Colorado. The tours of Black and Waltrip sound like great fun. Wish we could be there. Thanks to everyone for all of your hard work organizing this event. Really hate to miss it. Can't wait for pictures to be posted!

I thoroughly enjoyed and appreciated visiting with so many of you last night. Many fond and long forgotten memories returned. Hope everyone has a wonderful time for the remainder of the reunion and a safe return home. Best wishes to all.

To Suzie May and everyone with the thankless job of planning and executing reunions, hats off for a great Friday night event. Fran and I enjoyed seeing so many old friends, and the venue, especially the spacious outdoor patio on a breezy and mild August evening, was perfect. Thank you all for your hard work.

I would like to thank Suzie May and all the rest of the 50th Anniversary team for all the effort in putting these venue's together.

Unfortunately, due to a virus I am having trouble getting under control, sadly I will miss seeing many of you that I have not seen for 50 years.

God's richest blessing to everyone, and have a terrific evening.

MAry Jo and I had planned on be there (Paid) but we have young children at home and something came up at the  last  minute, really   bummed out. Really missed seeing everyone again!!

Best wishes to all y'all at the Reunion.  Thanks to everybody who made it possible.  Unfortunately, due to Work commitments and other reasons we were unable to make it this year.  So sorry.  One of these days...

Arletta Parnell (Glankler)

I hope everyone has a wonderful time.  I made it to Houston on the 21st.  But very sadly, we were called home to Memphis on the 27th.  My grandson-in-law who lives with us,  along with my granddaughter and their baby, received word his sister had been killed along with her baby daughter in a head on collision.  They needed to go to Indianapolis, so we needed to go home to take care of their baby.  I almost made a reunion.  Maybe I can get back soon and see you Dorothy and some that knew me and still live in the Houston area.  God bless all that will be traveling.  Please be safe. 

Always,

Arletta

Oh Arletta! We will pray for your family in this hard time! 

Susy May, Linda, Jacque et al it was a wonderful weekend. Thank you again. 

Carolyn Johnson (Blake)

I would love to attend. Unfortunately the trip there from Romania would be extremely difficult and costly. So I will be there in spirit. What an amazing thought...50 years! Thanks to all our classmates who have worked so hard to make this happen. Send pictures!!!

love to all,

Carolyn

Carolyn Johnson (Blake)

Oh Arletta, I am so sorry. I can't imagine what you are all going through. God bless you all and be with you in this very hard time.

love,

Carolyn

Arletta Parnell (Glankler)

Thank you so much.  It is a very hard time. She was hit head on by another girl who was texting and veared into the oncoming lane of traffic.  She also lot her life.  They are in God's hands now, so that is a happy thought.

Arletta Parnell (Glankler)

I would like to thank Suzie and all the 50th reunion committee.  I am sure it was a blast.  I can't wait to see pictures.  I had paid for my sister and best friend whse mother went to Black, but has passed away.  They too was disappointed to not go.  I will be back for the next one if God so wills it.  Hugs to all from Memphis.

Suzanne Crawford (Dunsmore)

A great big thank you to Suzie May and the reunion committee for all your hard work in making the 50th reunion such a success!! It was such a pleasure to see the faces and hear the life adventures of dear friends! Plan to keep in touch!

Dianna Dudley (Westmoreland)

Thanks to all of those who obviously worked so hard on our reunion weekend!  It was only the second that I have attended, but I enjoyed it immensely!!  Great weekend!!  Met so many folks for the first time, yet they seem to remember me from High School!  Obviously somer have a better memory than me!!!  Can't believe so much time ha passed and I haven't attended most of the past reunions.  If I am still kicking, I will not miss another.  So sorry everyone could not be there!!!

Sandy Spears (Koslosky-Siddall)

OMG what fun to see so many folks from Jr and Sr high but especially those I started eletary school with. Ditto on all the compliments to the committee for their hard work on keeping us together. Not all classes are as lucky. Loved the tours, too. I'm back in Galveston safe and sound. Y'all come.

Lana Johnson (Horne)

Arletta, I am so sorry for what your family is dealing with right now.  I am praying for peace and patience for all of you. We did miss you.  I was looking for you last night, but I am glad that you were able to get home to your family quickly.

The entire reunion experience was great.  Most of us have known each other for a very long time, and really we are just older versions of those kids we used to be.  If you didn't attend this reunion, we did miss you.  If you attended, thank you for taking the weekend to reconnect with old friends. I had such a great time! To Suzie May Cunningham, Linda Marmion Linder, Jacquie Campbell Biggs, and the rest of the Golden Gala Committee,  thank you for your dedication to getting our class together time after time.  I know that planning our event has been a part of your daily lives for at least a year! Thank you  and we do appreciate all that you do for our class.  I am already looking forward to 55th!   See you there!

Lillian Suzanne Vickers (Bilodeau)

Our reunion committe really rocks. We had great venues both days and visited til we dropped. Also, thanks to Joanna for the idea and effort that got us all to Frank Black and Waltrip and Doyles. Kudos and thank you to all involved. I say again that if you need help with the next one, I will volunteer right now. Thank you, Suzanne Vickers Bilodeau.

Joanna Hinton (Garrett)

My dear Arletta, I know all of our prayers are with you and your family at such a tragic time.  May God find you all in his arms at this time.  We all love you.

I hope the reunion went well!  I had paid for an airline ticket and for the gala and thought I would finally get to a reunion.  My lodging with family/friends was cancelled four days before I was supposed to leave and that left me with no place to stay.  Needless to say I was very upset and saddened to have to cancel the trip.  I hope there was a good turnout and that everyone had fun!  Thank you to the reunion committee for putting the whole thing together.  I know that is a tremendous amount of work and effort.  Hopefully there will be another reunion (maybe sooner than five years).

Linda Marie Kellogg (Milligan)

My husband, John, and I had a great time at the reunion on Friday night.  Only wish we could have made Saturday also.  It was great seeing everyone and catching up.  Thanks to everyone who worked so hard on the planning.  You are super stars!
