What's going on these days with you and your family?
Hello from Julie! The past five years have flown by, and it's
reunion time again! I'm staying busy these days trying to keep up with my
13-year-old son, Zack. He plays basketball and is also involved in lots
of church youth group activities -- so that's what I'm involved in too!
(I'm sure all of you parents out there can relate.) When you have a
minute, please send an e-mail and let us know how you are doing.
Lisa Fulmer Dyer wishes us a Merry Christmas from Lawton, Oklahoma
where she is enjoying her new job as an Education Specialist for the US
Army. She says that she loves "working with the Soldiers ~ a must since
I've been married to one for the past 24 years (25 in March)."
Amy Raymond writes, "I've been married to Scott Snyder since 1994,
and we have two kids, Rachel (born 2000) and Grant (born 2004). Scott works
at a pharmaceutical company in San Francisco, and I've been taking care of
the kids since I finished my Ph.D. in Archaeology."
Jeff Boyd sends this news... "Greetings, 2007 finds my family and I
living Fort Worth, Texas where I am working for the Department of Homeland
Security. We recently welcomed our second child into the world, a girl,
which makes two since the last reunion."
Tim Dawson shares, "Dora and I are about to celebrate 21 years of
marriage. I am going to try and get back in June, but will not promise
anything as the oilfield is so crazy. We now live in Mississippi at our deer
camp and enjoy it."
Suzan Lambert writes..."After 9/11, I decided life was too short to
continue doing things that do not make you happy. I quit my job at Molex,
and spent the next year in cosmetology school, so I could do what I really
wanted to do .... live in our weekend home at Higden on Greers Ferry Lake
full-time. Which I did. My boys Jeramy (now 20) and Trey (18) graduated
from Westside High School in Greers Ferry. Fortunately, or unfortunately,
during all of this, Frank and I decided another change needed to be our
going our separate ways. A little over a year ago (Dec. '05), I met a
wonderful man on the internet, who just happened to live in Vermont. After
many months of long-distance dating, Trey graduating high school and moving
back to Conway for work, I moved to Montpelier, Vermont. I am now surviving
my first New England winter (-17 degrees this morning) as a stylist at
Zerafa Salon and Day Spa in the BEAUTIFUL capital city of Montpelier ....
population 9,000. I am only 20 minutes from wonderful skiing, snowboarding
or snow mobiling in Stowe, Vermont, or 2 hours from the great culture of
Montreal, Canada in one direction or the beautiful sea coast of Maine in the
other! Anybody that wants to come visit is welcome, as we do have an extra
bedroom ... as long as you don't mind sharing with our cats and my mini-
doxie Cooter Brown!"
Julie, I plan on coming to the club to see everyone. Thanks for getting it
together,Dana Jennings [Dana Anthony]
(note from Julie: LILA gets ALL the credit for getting us together! I’m just
the Web site gal.)
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Although I would love to come I just cannot swing it during the school year
unfortunately. Here is some recent news for my family. I just dropped my
son off for his freshmen year at Duke University in North Carolina. We are
extremely proud of him! He finished 5th out of almost 800 in his high
school in May and managed to play football all 4 years. He is currently
planning to major in biology and plans to pursue medical school following
that. (Not sure where he gets it.) My daughter is an 8th grader and is
running cross country (and has a meet the weekend of the reunion). She is a
great student and also one of my best Spanish students! I still teach
Spanish I at one of our middle schools. My husband who retired from active
duty military two years ago was recently chosen for a new director position
within DOD (as a civilian). The job is based in DC but fortunately it is
quite global and they are letting him base out of Texas. Everything is
great - just feeling the "half empty nest."

hey Julie- I plan on being at both events.............hope school started
off well for you!
Paula (Rogers)

Im planning on attending both..... Carol Starkey-Mayo
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Thanks for the invitation and coordinating all this. I'm sure you're super
busy with school starting back again :-) Unfortunately, I will not be in
Conway for the ballgame and reunion. -- Tina Haggard
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Julie, I will not be able to attend due to wedding anniversary. Thanks,
Kevin (Luck)
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Julie: Please pass on my regrets for the reunion in Oct.
I am still on active duty in the Army and stationed in Alexandria, Virginia
where I am responsible for the planning and execution of the distribution of
the active duty enlisted force. Since my last update my travels have taken
me though Kansas, Alaska and the last two years in Virginia. I have finally
gone over 20 years and we are starting to plan life after hanging up my
boots (retirement). Looks like we will start our new chapter in the
Northern Kentucky area in about 2 years. Time to settle down and allow my
girls to have a little stability for a while. Richard Carpenter
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
I am planning on attending at this time. Thanks, Julie! (Terri Rhoades)
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Gray and I plan to attend the Centennial only portion. Thanks, Judi
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
I am going to attend and look forward to seeing you there. Greg (Schichtl)
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
I so wish I could make it to Conway for the Homecoming Game and mini-Reunion
party, but unfortunately I won't be able to make it that weekend. Boo-
hoo!!! I know you guys will have a blast, so please take lots of pictures
and post them to your site so that all of us who can't come can live
vicariously through you!!
Thanks for including me in the e-mail list - - I greatly appreciate it!!
Thanks again for all of your great website work over the years!!!

Hello Julie, Regretfully I will be unable to attend our class get together
in October as I have many activities going on at that time and will be out
of town. Please keep me informed on any other future plans and tell everyone
I said hello and miss all. Take care and hope all is well for you.
Sincerely, Barry R. Crowe
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
I'll be attending BOTH events (game and gathering)... along with my fiancé
Scott (yes, that's what I said!) And believe me, he'll be the life of the
party. I can't wait! Leanne (Lester)
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
This is my new email address and I am interested in coming if my schedule
allows it. Thanks Brad (Curtis)
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
I will be able to attend, with my lovely wife. I should also be able to run
up to New York and drag Chris Travis back here for that too. He is bragging
to me that he still has his signed class of 82 t-shirt. I'll talk to Charles
Vaughan also to see if he will go. He lives close, and is a police officer
in Mayflower, might be able to get off for a reunion. Stay safe and I'll see
you soon. Terrence Gross
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Hey Julie---I will try to make this one, sounds like fun. Kelly Drosche
Vandiver
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Julie- I don't think we'll be able to make it-that's homecoming for my son
here also that weekend but please keep me on the email list.
Thanks- Robin Jones Wilcox
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Julie,I would love to come but it doesn't look like we will be able to that
time of the year. Mitch is playing tennis for high school and Whitney is
off at her first year in college. Keep in touch and send pics of everyone.
Tell everybody hello. Kelly Garrison
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
I just heard about the October 12th reunion. I am going to do my best to
attend but I need some more information (cost, times, etc.) I will send
a "life update" soon.
(note from Julie – we’re working on it – we just need some people numbers to
work with!!) :) -- Paula Starkey Kinggard

Julie
I have recently relocated back to ark and would like to attend in Oct
depending on work as i work overseas and have a new project in nigeria
starting soon so if my days off are in sync with the 12th my wife and i will
attend.
Thanks
Tim Dawson

Lee Turner Milligan -- saw her at the ballgame -- she'll be there!

Julie - Thanks for the wonderful job you have been doing on the web-site, it
is great to be able to keep in touch with everyone and have these updates.
Unfortunately, I will not be able to attend the upcoming gatherings. I have
just recently bought an 1850's home in Vermont. So, needless to say, at
this time the majority of my time and funds are "spoken for". I wish
everyone the very best .... and be safe. Suzan Lambert Gibson
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Update for Lila Prosser Ashmore...
No I do not take all of the credit. I credit Gray Standridge for his idea in
calling it a "gathering" and not a reunion.
I know Lana Kay is coming and possibly Laina.
Lana Kay is married and teaching in Bella Vista/Rogers area.
Laina is still in Virginia teaching and raising Emilee and Mason, the cutest
Laina look alikes around. They recently bought a new/old home and she and
Stephen are busy bees.
I'm in Little Rock, editor of Inviting Arkansas and spend every free moment
with River and Ellis, my 5 year old twin grandsons. When they are too busy
for me, I am up at the Little Red River at our cabin, "Camp David" hanging
out with husband David and a horde of visitors. All the step kids are grown
and life is good for this ole' Conway gal. Come to the CHS gathering. You
are assured a great time.

These notes are great. Thanks! I love hearing everyone's news. Won't make
it to the reunion, though. I'll be in Turkey and on (Greek) Samos doing

I will see some familiar faces at Wal-Mart when I'm buying wrapping

Hi Julie,
I will be coming on the 12th! I am still in Richmond, Va. I managed to work

Julie,
Unfortunately, I will be at the University of Oklahoma's homecoming game
with my 19 year old daughter that same weekend and will be unable to
attend. Update on me & the family: married to John (class of 78) 25 years;
two gorgeous daughters, Rachel 19, Marlana 18 - both in college
(oh, the tuition bills!). I earned my graduate degree in 2004 from OU and am
still working for US Army Education Services - loving every minute of it!
Thank you, again, for keeping us all posted. I know you take your personal
time - you are appreciated. Even after all these years, it's fun to read
about everyone.
Take care,
Lisa (Fulmer) Dyer
New 9/4/07-------------------------------------------------------------------
I will try to be there in October to attend the game and gathering
afterward.
Thanks,
Jeff Boyd
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Lynn Owen and I will try to make the gathering at Centennial, that's
Homecoming in Mayflower. Our oldest son, Josh plays so we will be at the
game. Josh is in the 11th, Jacob is in the 9th, and Holly just turned 3. So
you can see that we stay very busy.
I seen a couple of old faces around town, Mike Smith, Jerry Lewis and Phil
Stamps are back in town. I have tried to pass the information along to
everyone.
Good to hear from everyone, maybe one of these days we can get everyone
together all at the same time. Maybe we could get the school to let us have
a day in the old school so that we could do a schedule so that you go from
class to class so that you can spend time with everyone. Ring the bell and
move to another group.
