Next came the picnic at Rotary Park. Thanks to Barbara W. Hundley, Sandra & Cecil Green and Patsy W. Brantly for the decorations. Gail S. Thompson and Jim Williams did a wonderful job registering everyone and handing out nametags. Teddy Rastall needs to be complimented for the feast we had from the House of Ribs. We had a wonderful surprise as five of our classmates (past cheerleaders) wore football jerseys and led the group in the fight song. Thanks to Mary E. W. Coram (Dootsie), Barbara W. Hundley, Joan H. Lancaster, Carolyn M. Culp and Alice W. Lanier for providing this entertainment. Thanks to Jane G. Ogle for reserving the pavilion for the picnic. We had fiftyseven classmates with a total of ninetyseven attend the picnic. WONDERFUL!!!! | ||

Thanks to Barbara W. Hundley for arranging for many of our classmates to attend the SHHS football game. Everyone enjoyed. We have to thank Jim Hagy for trying to have golf available for Friday and Saturday, but due to the cool weather we had to forgo this activity. | ||

Saturday began with the hospitality room being open and then several classmates, spouses & friends took a bus tour of Johnson City organized by Billy Jack Furches. It was a grand tour. Thanks, Billy!!! The next event on Saturday was the dinner and entertainment by the "Off Broad Street Players" The entertainment was wonderful as it involved several classmates trying to solve a high school reunion murder. What a wonderful dinner. The meal was selected by Gail S. Thompson and Jane G. Ogle. We had three of our former teachers attend the dinner, Cot Presnell, Sid Smallwood and Frank Tannewitz and their guests. Thanks to Don Blackburn for extending the invitation to them. Thanks to Bill Jones, Rev. Gail Lyon, Billy Furches and Richard Cox for handling the Memorial Service for our deceased classmates, which included praying for and lighting a candle for each of the thirtyfive deceased classmates. The attendance was great. We had sixtyone classmates with a total of 107 (including the teachers and their guests) attend the dinner. | ||
