Another reunion has come and gone. The years are going by quickly. How many reunions do we have left? Yes Im saying it out loud. We are not old but we are not 25 anymore either. It was wonderful to see so many regulars and some for the first time at a reunion. I hope it was worth the wait to them. NOW we work on meeting for a 50th reunion. Sounds surreal I know. I just want you to know that when I see you all every 5 years, I dont see an older person, I see the person I saw in the hallways, in classes, or in the cafeteria. Thank you for attending and making my work worth it all, hope to see a lot more of you in 2029.

It is hard to believe it has been this long. I miss so many of you. I decided to create a Facebook account just to reconnect. I have never had one before because I am a huge privacy advocate. Within an hour I got an email I was banned! I have no idea what I could have done. I will have to see if my appeal goes through. I hope to reconnect with you on Facebook if my appeal goes through. If not, best wishes to all of you! Feel free to reach out to me here.

This is a wonderful web site! I graduated in 1980 but loved many of you 1979 graduates! Has anyone heard from John Spencer, or Jan Kolwey? I was very sad to hear about Stephanie Crossen\'s passing.

I attended Buchannon School and moved away at the end of 6th Grade.. I would like to get in touch with some of my friends who would have graduated from West High... I had moved to Cambridge Illinois, and never forgot them.

I am looking for Annie leisure, Penny Broderson.. Carla Followwell.. Un sure of her spelling... Jeff Biack... Kevin Aldridge... I loved all of my class mates at Buchannon and have fond memories... I was real skinny and had long dark hair.. and did gymnastics. and always wished I was a Buchannon Beauty.. Remember those???

It was great to see everyone again. Hope even more come to our 35th. We definately need a larger place. Great to see all the Hayes School and Frank L Smart people again. Funny how the people you have known the longest spark so many great memories of what seems not that long ago. How time flies !!! The web site was the best idea ever. Props to all involved.

This is a great site. I am sad that I could not make the reumion, but appreciate all of the pictures that Wayne and Katt put on facebook. Made me feel as if I was there, although I am in the great smoky mountains. What great way to connect with friends from long ago.

Hi everyone! Great job on the website. I enjoy reminiscing, in my opinion some of the best years of my life. I've lost touch with a lot of my old friends and classmates. Feel free to email me with some updates on what has happened in your lives the last 28 yrs. Did I just say 28?? Time sure has gone by. Thanks again for the memories. Jill
