Not Growing Old Gracefully

Many thanks to Monisa for taking and sharing these pictures! As I viewed them, I was saddened by the look of decay that has overtaken our Alma Mater. Quickly I realized that our old stompin' ground is so very similar to my creaky old body - it just ain't what it used to be. This place that birthed so many fantastic memories for my life doesn't seem to be birthing any new memories for anyone else these days. What a shame! But, unlike this building that has grown weaker through the years, our relationships could grow stronger - if we just decide to make it so.

Let's have one helluva reunion - it's up to us!

Thanks to all of those who have worked so diligently to bring this reunion to reality.

Thanks again Monisa!

Memory Lane – the Plan is Coming Together


Monisa and Patty spent most of Monday with Jimmy Jones in Ft Valley and toured FVHS. It is looking great for having our Reunion in the Gym. There are so many great ideas in the making, I know we are going to come away from our March 13th meeting with an outline for an incredible 40th (Class of 1970), 41st (Class of 1969), and Alumni Mixer.

Ricky Vining was a wealth of information regarding facilities and catering in the area. James Khoury gave a tour of the Renovated Theatre.

We are planning some working time to organize the trophy case, prior to the Reunion.

If anyone has footage of football games, parades, basketball games, any events; please let us know! We have an idea for using this at the Reunion.
