Great to see everyone!  We had a nice time.  I missed those unable to attend, (Tammy Robinson, Jana Alford, Scott Smith - my very sweet and fun Senior Prom date, David Hancock, Scott Campbell, Cindy Meliet, Brett Whitehead, Yvette Beaucoudray, Tim Williams and many more.  We were all truly blessed to have wonderful friends to grow with.  Many of you asked about my brother, Glenn who has had cancer in the past.  He is doing great.  My sincere best wishes to all!

I was disappointed I didn't make it to the reunion. My husband's uncle passed away so we had a funeral in Mandeville, and didn't get home until late. Well, it was late for me! I loved the pictures of everyone. I'll be honest, I had to zoom in and look at some of the name tags, but everyone looked great and it looked like it was a lot of fun. I'm sorry I missed it. I hope we can have another one before 10 years.

It was great to see everyone at the Reunion!  Thanks Brett, Maurice, and all the Secretarties ...Lynda, Carla, Wanda and Gayla, for all your hard work putting it together.  Can we start at 6 next time?  We're getting old!  Fall, Winter or Spring would be great too.  Us women get hot!  Thanks again Molly for putting my photos on the site.  I hope everyone enjoys them.  Fellow bikers, keep in touch about the Fall rides we talked about, looking forward to it.  I wish all of you much happiness and good health so we can do this again in another 5, 10 or sooner.  Take care until we meet again,  Lisa

Greetings all!  Many thanks to the reunion planners - I know how hard you worked and that your work was not done even when you got to the party.  My deepest appreciation for your sacrifice - wish I was closer so I could help with the NEXT one.  Hopefully we won't all need walkers and Depends by that time!  How wonderful to see so many old friends (REALLY OLD, OLD, OLD ... just like MEEEEE).  It was a blessing to see happy, healthy faces of friends who have meant so much to me.  And, what a trip to realize that it has been 42 years (OMG!!!!) since I started school in 1966 at Central Elementary School with some of you who were at the reunion ... like Beth Smith, Suzanne Browning, Beverly Ashford, Shavonne Bourque, Will Moore, Dorothy Swain, Mary Gerage and many others that I didn't get to see this time.  So, hats off to those who made such a nice event for us ... thank you for finding me Brett ... I'm blessed that you looked for me all the way across the country!  Merci beaucoups mon ami!  To all of you who travel to Colorado from time to time ... please look us up in the Denver area.  Dennis and Elise Dickerson in Aurora, Colorado.  Send me an e-mail and I'll give you our phone number.  Much love and God's richest blessings to all!  -e

It was great seeing everyone at the reunion.  I only wish I had more time to talk to everyone.  We'll have to work on that for our next reunion.  Please send any pictures you took at the reunion.  I'll help Brett get them edited and posted.  Also, if you haven't noticed, I added our senior pictures to the first album. You can now see the "before" and "after" pictures.  I wish you all the best.

The reunion is over and it was great to see so many friends.  I had such a great time!  It was much too short; I could've stayed and talked all night.   Brett, you and everyone did a wonderful job--Thank YOU!  There were still some who couldn't attend, though; but it would be great to keep in touch through this website.  So, please keep it up for as long as you can, Brett.  Maybe we can find others to help continue it in the future.  If anyone is interested, I would love to have lunch or get together with those of you in the Baton Rouge/New Orleans and surrounding areas whenever possible for lunch.  My cell is 281-1034.  So please call if anyone is interested; I would love to stay in touch.  There are many of you who don't live that far away.   It was so great seeing all of you who came.  I look forward to our next one!

To everyone,
 
The reunion site is up to date and information is available about date, time, cost and accommodations. ( www.central78.myevent.com ) If you plan to attend please RSVP and send in your money as soon as possible so that all arrangements can be finalized. Rooms are available at a discounted rate is you use Promo code “N86”. I look forward to seeing everyone there. Come by yourself, with a spouse or friend. I tried to convince some of our classmates that we should have a classmates only reunion, but I am sure that event would have gotten out of control.
 
I have not seen some of the classmates on the site since our last reunion and have not seen some since high school. We are all older, wiser, wider and grayer. Hopefully we also are looking at life these days as late forty somethings and not as the teenagers we once were. I have enjoyed the work on this reunion, the conversations with some for the first time in years, the website allowing a brief glimpse of where some of us are today. Please take advantage of the opportunity that this reunion offers to rekindle friendships and relax for an evening with a little retro music.
 
Please reply to this e-mail if you need additional info.

We have had some questions about the dress code for the night. "Dressy Casual" will be the level of attire for the night, but I don't think we will stop anyone at the door for dress code violations. Please encourage any classmates that you see from 76,77,79 or 80 to visit the website and plan on attending the reunion.

Hey Mr. Nauta
Let's  go rabbit hunting. I luv the sound of the dogs  yelping and rabbits running over my feet.
I have the same shotgun as the last time we went, I may need more shells, but probably not as i cant seem to hit a rabbit anyway. 
Happy Retirement to you in 18 months.

  If you have any photos please send them in and I will post to the Photo Album page. Thanks to Molly McCaa for the Graduation Invitation. I would like to post addtional albums for Sports, Band, Clubs or any ideas sent in.
