45 Years ~Where Did all That Time Go?

Five years ago we

celebrated our 40th reunion, and normally

we would not do another one for 10

years. 

However, with the loss of 13 folks since

the last reunion, we wanted 

to have one at 45.

I did not do a lot of planning

on this one due to the 

pain and stone issues but I 

have to say, the planning

committee did a great job.

When I was calling folks at

the very beginning of the 

planning of this years reunion, I

pulled out my annual to look

up folks when their name did

not register with me.

This is my senior annual, I also 

have 9th. 10th, 11th and 

this one. I have about worn

the binding out on this one.

I was supposed to head over

and help set up for the 

event last night, but I did not make

it. I was not

thinking I would be able

to even make it to the 

reunion, but I was able

 to get past that.

DuPont High School,

we were the Bulldogs.

These items are kept

stored in the alumni room at 

the old Jr. High School. All reunions

use these items when setting

up for their reunion.

The golf course supplies us

with the white linen table clothes. 

Kim was at the reunion and

she was supporting her necklace

and her school ring.

Both of which I did not

purchase.

So if you read my post 

you have read about 

the 

POST!

HAHA

This is the Gibbs

family portrait with

baby Post in the center,

I really think this one might become

a framer and a gift to 

Cindy and Danny.

Our missing you table.

Five years ago, I think there

was only four framed pics of 

classmates that have left us.

This year we added two more.

 The staff is always amazing

when we are at the golf course.

We did not want a full fledged 

meal, went with appetizers.

We had a grill cheese bar.

Pick your bread, pick you 

cheese, pick the fixings 

you want with it and it 

was all fixed up for you.

I got a croissant, with pepper

jack cheese, bacon and spice

mustand. It was AMAZING!

Fruit.

Cheese and crackers.

Veggie tray, buffalo dip, 

buffalo chicken sliders and bacon

wrapped potatoes.

Darren and his wife. They drove in

from Nex Mexico for the event.

Darren's mom still lives down 

the dtree from me in the house they 

lived in when we were in Sr. High.

Tisha, Jerry and 

Jerry's wife.

Both grew up within

jumping distance from my

home. Jerry and I just a street

over from each other.

Darren and Coach Adcock.

Coach Adcock back in the day.

Clay and Wayne.

Two musicans from our 

group.

Janet.

My bud David. David lost his 

twin brother a few years back. Both

graduated in 78.

Jerry (married to Peggy), Peggy and 

Cindy,

Jerry and Peggy live up the street 

from me. Peggy and first hubs 

bought a house about five doors

up after I had moved away from home.

Peggy has been there all

these years.

My sweet friend Dawn, She

is not big on FB but she

always pops in and checks on 

me.

This is our famous twins from the 

class. Laurie and Lisa. They were backup 

singers for Bill Anderson while in their

20s and 30s, Two very talented

ladies. 

When I went to type

in the words, twins, I 

realized that we had 

three sets of them in school.

They lined us up for a 

big ole group pic and while 

folks were lining up and being 

silly, I took pics of course.

Karrie. 

Middie and Terri

I love getting shots of people

doing their own thing.....and 

taking selfies.

Mark had to get up n 

front of his pics over the 

years so we all could see the difference!

All in all, 

we had a great time.
