Class Reunion of 1980/81 - Young Whipper Snappers

Hanging outside the 

Hermitage Golf Course 

club house. 

I am gong to spare you by not 

posting a lot of pics

of folks you will not 

even know but I will

post some.

But first the most important

pics is of 

FOOD!

This was the Mac and Cheese bar.

I did not try that but only

cause after eating a bite

of this and that, I

could not hold it.

Looks amazing though.

Roast.

YUM.

This was a ham and 

biscuit.

Spinach cheese dip.

Now, this would take

more work than I would 

be willing to give but

that is a slice of potatoe

wrapped in bacon.

IT WAS

AMAZING!

And the cheese plate

speaks for itself.

This is Mike. He grew up, up the 

street from me. He took over

the family buisness of 

plumbing. I posted this

pic to tell you that although

the name tag says 

Ken Overby,

that is not KEN.

This is Ken and his tag

says Mike Gregory.

Boys will be boys.

This is the class of 80...

the ones that came.

My brother is a class

of 80 but he didn't wish

to attend the 40th.

Not the best pic cause

where they wanted to take

pics the table was in the

way but we did what we could.

Class of 1981.

The middle school has a room

down where the band room used

to be that is deicated to DuPont 

stuff. So when you have a reunion

you are allowed to borrow the

stuff for decor.

Like the big red

BULLDOG.

Oh, we were the DuPont

Bulldogs!

Our colors, if you have not

figured out are

red and white.

Anyway, that is Clay Smith with the 

bulldog. Clay actually graduated

with me in 78.

But the Old Hickory Boys

were there for the reunion 

to play.

The bulldog is guarding the 

tip jar.

I just liked this pic.

This gentleman is 

Mr. Myatt.

I am not sure of his age but

Mr. Myatt was teaching 

at the senior high when I went

there. He is now totally blind. 

But he was at the reunion and he

was having a great time.

Can you tell yet who

the class of 81 clown was?

Mike....this is him dancing

with another classmate 

while they were being silly 

only to shake his head when

he saw me taking pics.

Back to the band...only cause

this is the order in which

the pics were taken..

The hands of Larry Carney, 

class of 78 also.

The booze was flowing

and folks were having

a great time.

Oops...can you tell I was getting

around. There were a lot

of shots between Larry's

hands and this pic of the 

band and ....sorry

I did not get her name

and I do not know her.

I pulled a rose off the table,

and put it in Larry's mouth.

He always has the best smile.

Never much to say but

he will smile and smile.

Since I had two roses I then pulled 

Barry into the mix.

Bulldog kissing on 

Donnie. 

I was not aware Donnie

was a DuPonter until this

night, but I worked

at the blind school with him.

So anyway, it seems like everyone

had a blast. I took a lot

of candid pics but like I 

said, sparing you the boredom. 

Now back to the roses...

when the group played the

boat dock below the house

they always had the tip jar out.

It was just too much fun for

me and I had a hard time

leaving things alone, so I 

would pull some dollars

out of my wallet and 

go and place them in 

the tops of Barry (not the one

above) and Clays pants.

At one time I took up 

dollars from the group and 

the guys were covered. 

I am not sure how they

cont to play and sing 

while this went on but

they never skipped a beat...

I had no bucks on me at

the reunion so roses

were the next best thing.

Are you surprised?

Didn't think so,

Pam

ps...when it was announced that

I was doing the pics I 

had a group in the back

(not sure who) that busted

out clapping!

HAHA....

and true to who I am,

I stepped up and bowed

telling them thank you!
