June update

The planning committee for the 40th reunion met this afternoon at the home of Carolyn Clapp (Whitley), and if our afternoon together is any indication, the reunion is going to be FUN!!! (Some people never change!)

(Click on photos to enlarge.)


Classmates traveled in from Florence, SC and Cary, Clemmons, and Raleigh to join those of us who are still "local" to make some final decisions on "what and where." I think alumni will be pleased with the weekend celebration we are pulling together. (Details at the end of this post.)










(Can anyone find any matches between the "then" and "now" photos?)

Of course, we had to take care of important business first -- a couple of folks pulled out their 1967 annual (The Talon) to share and reminisce. I heard more than one person say "Did I really write THAT in your annual? Oh, my!" I guess we're much older and wiser now -- or at least older!

Planning for a reunion!

Thanks to the jump-starting efforts of Susan Holt (Brooks), several interested classmates from the Southeast Guilford High School class of 1967 have begun meeting and brainstorming ideas for our 40th year reunion. In addition to Susan, the following persons have been participating and contributing to the planning effort in one way or the other:

Charles Causey (and his wife Pam)

Susan Holt (Brooks)
Gerald Letterman
Joe Parrish
Doug Shoffner

VERY PRELIMINARY plans call for a tour of the school late Friday afternoon before attending the home football game on Friday night, October 12, 2007; a group breakfast at a local restaurant on Saturday morning, October 13; a golf outing at Stoney Creek at 11:00AM that morning; ; and a dinner-dance-fun celebration with a DJ on Saturday evening. As locations, times, and details are confirmed, we'll be in touch!
