AHH!! I wish I was at the beach with you!

Thank you for the kind words. I'm so glad you have enjoyed the site. The friends we make as adults are great, but it's the friends we grew up with that mean the most and that we tend to think about over and over again over the years.

I agree that we need a reunion sooner than 2011! Lots of people have been asking about the 35th reunion already because they have found old firends and want to see them face to face now. Maybe we can plan a mini reunion of "the girls" that want to get together. That would be great!!! Let me know and I'll give a shout out on the site!

Take care, Christie, and tell Kathy and Susan Hi and I miss you guys!

Christie Cox Wilson

That is a great idea. We were talking about a destination reunion close to Huntsville or we could find somewhere fun in Huntsville to stage one. Keep that in mind and of course before school starts back would be ideal for me but I am game any time. We will talk about this while we are on the beach today getting sentimental about old times. Maybe it will work out.

Cyndi Horton Riehle

Sounds great! I'll certainly do my part to make it happen. How fun!!! I want to see everyone so bad!

Have a great time at the beach and keep in touch!

Thanks, Anita! I would not have recognized him as the Larry I use to know! His info is impressive!

Cyndi, Thanks for posting the info about Sherry Turner. Do you know any details? Had she been ill recently? Seems like I had heard that she had cancer a while back.

Cyndi Horton Riehle

Hi Juli,

Apparently Sherry had suffered with Crohn's disease for years. I guess it finally caught up with her.

That's all the details I have.

Hope you are well and take care,

Cyndi

Juli Merritt Rogers

Thanks for the info. I guess I didn't realize Crohn's was fatal.

Cyndi Horton Riehle

I read an article about Crohn's and 5-10% die of the disease mainly because of infection. Such a sad event for such a sweet girl.

Juli Merritt Rogers

Cyndi,
On the current poll that you're running, could you add "all of the above?" I would be ecstatic if I never had to hear any of those songs again!

Peggy Zebal Robinson

Cyndi,

I found a website for Huntsville High's class of '76. Some of us knew many of those kids for the two years of junior high. You don't need a password to log on - you may want to post it...

Thanks,
Peggy

Does anyone know where I can get a dress like the one Whitt is wearing? I'd prefer a different color but will settle for blue if I must.

Edward Lose

Arrghh. My daughter is now a Hoover Buc. This morning we ate breakfast together (a weekly thing for 9 years) and I dropped her off at the school. She actually rode in the front seat with me and didn't tune me out with her ipod.

However, I had to drop off the OTC meds in the nurses's office. I was NOT allowed to park and have both of us exit the vehicle at the same time. Had to drop her off then go park. Not much has changed has it?

Eddy, I'm afraid it's the sign of the times. When I think back to what we all did and got away with or the relaxed procedures the school had, it really is sad how things have to be so strict now. But look at the bright side of today's event-your daughter sat with you and didn't plug in her iPod! :)

Cyndi,
What happened to Sheila? I saw her in June at First Baptist Church Choir Reunion. She seemed fine. This is very disturbing news, but thanks for letting us know.
Juli Merritt Rogers

Cyndi Horton Riehle

Hey Juli,
I don't know the cause of Sheila's death yet. There are a few people checking on it for me and I will post it when I hear back from them. This is sad news, I really liked Sheila.

Juli Merritt Rogers

Sheila Ginn Smock had an apparent heart attack on Sunday morning, August 16. She was at home when this happened. Her husband, Werner, was at First Baptist Church, playing in the orchestra. From what information my mom had, there was no precipitating illness or episode to indicate that she had any health problems.

Edward Lose

2016 will be here before we know it. I hope everyone is able to attend, especially those living locally.

Cyndi, have you thought of using one of those Internet people finders. I found Tammy Craven. I admit, perhaps if we have to go that far they may not want the intrusion. Eddy

Tim White

This is so cool. Thanks so much for the tremendous effort it just have taken to pull this together. Going through all the names was such a rush of old and nearly fogotten, but great memories!

Johnnie Green

Thank you for the "Holy Grail" bit...Ed Gillespie, Debbie Finerty, Renee' Daniel and I went every week for a month...simpler times.

Allen Jenkins

There will be a small 76rs get together at chips and salsa on bailey cove this friday night around 6ish.

Edward Lose

Glad to see the ladies got together recently. I would guess that the pics taken prior to the arrival of the Frozen 'ritas. Eddy

Cyndi Horton Riehle

Ha! The lampshades came out later!

Juli Merritt Rogers

Cyndi, I just found out that Tim Croft (HHS Class of 76, WJHS classmate) died on Wednesday night. I'm at work now & don't have access to FB. I'll try to find out more
