Where does the time go--It was nice to find out that a web site has been set up to keep intouch with each other. Concerning the Reunion, after 45 years it would be nice to get together and get to know how everyone is doing. My opinion on the place would be some where we can relax and get to know and enjoy each other again.

I have been in contact with Raymond Tallent and James Lindsey and we all agree that we won't attend the reunion if tux and gowns are the dress code. I myself would like the reunion to be within 30 miles of the school.

I was so happy to hear from Sandra Taber today and thank you Charlotte for giving her the clues that helped her locate me. After running across photos from our senior class trip a few weeks ago, I've been thinking about all of you a lot so I am pleased that we are planning a reunion. I don't care where we meet or what we do as long as we get together. I totally trust those of you who are planning our event and thank you for taking the time to track us down and do the work necessary to make this come together. Marcia Woodring Eblen

Judy Ray, Brangers I married Pat Circle in 1991. He died when a building colasped on him in 2000. I have four beautiful daughters and eight even more wonderful grandchildren(3 boys and 4 girls, one step- granddaughter, who has baby, making me a step great-grandmother, and a step-son who is married and they have 2 children. In 2003, I married Sam Brangers from Rineyville, who is several years younger than I. He has three daughters who live with us, ages 21, 16, and 14. He also has 2 older daughters, so between the two of us we have nine daughters. Hope to see everybody on the 30th of June.

I was pleasantly surprised today when Sandy's letter arrived telling about the reunion planned for June 30th. I'm sorry that it took so long to find me. My husband and I moved to The Villages in Florida four months ago, and it truly is a great place to live (minus the tornados please!) I am excited at the thought of a 45yr. reunion, so will try to attend.

Good to hear from Class of '62 and thanks Randy for keeping things rolling since I talked to several of you (7 of us) at the 2005 Vine Grove Annual Reunion at Alton School. Sorry I havn't been too helpful since my operation, but I also talked to Lowell Scarborough's wife (2005) and she told me she lost her "Sweet Lowell" 6 years ago. Look forward to getting together with everyone in June.

Hey Everyone! I'm having such a good time emailing you. I hope you enjoy it too. Seems as though everyone is really looking forward to seeing each other and reminiscing about growing up and raising our families. The reunion committee will be meeting again about the middle of March. Also, pass the word on that even if you aren't planning to attend (and we sincerely hope that you will), we want you to return your Questionnaire telling about yourself. Please!!! try to attend -- we all want this to be a successful event for all.

Hi Gang, Greetings from Bev (Leonard) Gray. Sorry I'm so late in checking in! I'm really looking forward to the reunion. I've talked with Sandy Nichols and Hank Mattingly and so enjoyed catching up on their lives. Can't wait to talk with other classmates. Hopefully Bill and I have made our last move. (I married Bill Gray, class of 60, who you may remember. He was my high school sweetheart and still is!!!) We both have had corporate careers that have required too frequent moves. We just made a move on our own, but it is to by near our grandson. We have one daughter, Michelle, age 32. She is married and has the sweetest and cutest little boy, Nathan (18 months), that you have even seen!!! (Grandma is not at all prejudiced.) I retired and Bill is semi-retired. We are enjoying our long awaited grandson and love to travel. Guess the moving around got in our blood. (ha) I just returned from Israel and I'm brain dead and have jet lag big time. Can't wait to see everyone.  Would love to hear from you.

Greetings from Montgomery, AL, Hasn't this been the fastest 45 years in history? Good to hear from you on the website. Sorry, I can't make the reunion. My husband, Ronny and I retired in 1999. He retired from the Post Office, and I retired from teaching elementary school. We are enjoying retirement and our grandchildren. We hope to relocate to Birmingham, AL soon to be closer to our them. We have 2 sons, Mark and David. Mark and his wife, Mary have 4 children. Mark is a Pastor and Biblical Counselor in Birmingham. David just got married last year to Tammy. He is a senior at Auburn University-Montgomery. He will graduate with an Information Systems Degree. I was very impressed with our classmate, Wilkie Cecil, who built a beautiful house for my Aunt Wilma and Uncle Bob Hepp on my grandmother's farm in Vine Grove. Hi, Linda. Hello to everyone from Sandra Eubank Shaw.

Hi Classmates, Thank you for your prayers and encouragement the past few days in the loss of my mother. We were blessed to have her several years beyond medical expectations and though we miss her terribly have faith that she is pain free and in a better place. Most of you probably know of my broken kneecap. I got the cast off 8/11 and have an elaborate brace that will be with me for at least six to eight weeks. I start therapy tomorrow (8/22). I am fortunate that my break was vertical rather than horizontal, otherwise I would have had the cast for a full eight weeks. Again, thanks for your prayers. For those of you that were able to come by the funeral home while we were there I want to say a special "thanks". It was a difficult time and your presence helped tremendously. I don't have addresses for several of you to send you a personal note, but want you to know I really appreciate having you there. For those of you who couldn't be there but were remembering us in prayer, a big thank you. Prayer got us through and continues to sustain us. Hope all of you are in good health and enjoying wonderful summer activities.
