25TH REUNION ATTENDEES
July 11, 2008 & July 12, 2008
Additional classmates in attendance whose picture does not appear in the slide show were: Charles French, Melinda Hemphill, William Brown, Shawn Alderman, Anthony Oates, Charmaine McFarlane, Alice Brown, LaTasha Green, Michael Salmon, Raddell Samuels, Joel Rohena, Cassandra Braswell, Melissa Davis, Muriel Miller, Anthony Johnson, Kim Snow, Stacy Asberry and Richard Weir. Special guests in attendance were: Lisa Mitchell (sister of late classmate Darryl Mitchell), Mr. Leon McKinley (guest speaker and brother of our late class advisor Mr. William McKinley), Mrs. Clara Lee (class advisor) and Ms. Emily Noel (class advisor).
Well y'all, we had an awesome time at the reunion. All of the committee's hard work and sacrifice paid off in the end 
! We had a full house on both nights. After the Friday night event, those who were not planning to attend Saturday night's event were scrambling to purchase tickets because they didn't want the experience to end that night. Once those who weren't planning to attend the reunion at all heard about Friday night's event, they were also scrambling to purchase tickets for Saturday because they were now caught up in the momentum of this once in a lifetime celebration.
For those of you who missed it completely, check out the pictures on the site. Hopeufully you will be able to experience some of the energy and atmosphere through viewing the pictures, but you really had to be there to fully understand. To avoid that lingering feeling of "Awww man, I wish I had been there!" in the future, try not to miss the next one!
While we had over 85 classmates in attendance for the reunion, there are still over 200 who didn't even know that we were planning for it. Let's continue to spread the word about our website so that the next one (in 5 years) will have an even greater turnout.
Stay tuned for more reunion pics.
