Dear Coy,

You are so kind to handle such a formidable task. I did not take any photos but I really enjoyed seeing so many friends. Hugh Fletcher told Jim Phillips and I some wonderful old college stories, encounters in notorious speed traps, and the day he flunked his draft physical. I was also told about the heroic efforts of Jay Barber during the Viet Nam War which I had never heard.

I think the class was very astute in choosing Van and Jane as the ":Most likely to Succeed." Truley, they are successful in business, community, marriage, and family. And did you notice how modest their biographies were. Next REunion I will not be giving the Amazing President Warner a copy of my CV.

Didn't Frosty Weaver look great! It's lucky he's been white haired since the first reunion. He really hasn't changed a bit for 30 years. His bio was equally modest for all his accomplishments. Sandy Edwards also was in great shape and highly recognizable. John Oliphant is definitely Cosmopolitan and suave.

We all need to chip in to send Aaron Cavanaugh to a Dale Carnegie course to bring him out of his shell.

I really enjoyed getting all the Southside Grammer "Kids" together. Especially George Leach, Howard Kalter, Carol Riddell, Patty Cochran, Sandra Shuffler, Jeannie Tredinick, Frosty Weaver, Hugh Fletcher, and many more.

I hope Nelson Green and Randy Lee will be at the next reunion (fellow first grade buddies) .

Looking Marvelous was Jerri Ann Bisset andAnn Fowler. I also should mention: the Monroes, Hugh Chappel, the T-Shirt, and the table decorations.

I think an extra thanks should go to Coy and Melissa Trawick and Bill Warner for pullling off one fantastically successful Event. Thanks again.

P.S. I have never felt old in my life until Bill Miller announced that the band was the grandchildren of the JNotes. (Ha Ha, I get it now, he was just kidding...right....please tell me he was kidding...anyone, please) Next time spare the details. It's more information than I need to know. It was tough enough hearing about all you guys with grandchildren. Can't we euphemistically claim them as exchange students?

Bye for now.
Leo (one of the twins)
