Our 30th reunion will be the summer of 2012 with perhaps a mini Homecoming reunion for Fall 2011. There are many, many classmates whose emails have not been updated on our list.

I am in the process of noting those who we need updated contact info for on the Classmates Located page of this site. I hope to have that finalized this week. In order to stay in the reunion loop, please make sure we have current contact info on you.

Thanks,  Gnanse

In the meantime, our classmate, Rodney McKelroy, is about to be shipped to Iraq for a ONE YEAR TOUR OF DUTY. (Aren’t we a little old for this? I’m just sayin’.)

He will leave shortly for two weeks of training in Kansas, then it’s off to Iraq – for a YEAR.

I know Rodney would appreciate a few well wishes from his former classmates right about now. His email is: Tabasco_popcorn@yahoo.com

Drop him a line & send him your best. And remember to keep him and all our troops in your prayers until ALL of them are safely home.
