| October is usually a busy month for us with lots of family celebrations and out-of-town obligations and we’re not usually able to make it to reunions; but we’re determined to be there this year. Looking forward to it! |

|
| Wishing all of you a great Christmas and a peaceful and prosperous New Year. |

| Billy — Thanks to you & your committee for organizing the reunion this past weekend! It was so nice to re-connect with some of our classmates from back then. I enjoyed it & wanted you to know that I appreciate all of your efforts, in the midst of your terrible fall, on behalf of our class of ’71. Have a great weekend & hope you’re enjoying some R & R after last weekend! Judy Aspinwall |

I want to congratulate you and your committee on a very nice reunion. Billy, I wanted to ask someone – maybe you know. What happened to Randy Graham? (I know that he passed away). Thank you.

| Hi! I just wanted to say thank you to everyone that made the reunion night so special. I know a lot of hard work and thought went into the process. It was great seeing classmates and the band-Carlisle Avenue Diner-was awesome. The people, band, food...what more could you ask for? Hope I didn't leave anything out but if I did, just know that all was appreciated. :) |

| Debbie Bacci Walker, Hi Debbie! If you get this message, I hope you will email me back so we catch up. I tried to find you on Facebook, but no luck. In case you forgot me, I was your suite mate at RU in 1972-73. As I get older I feel the need to reconnect at times. :)Veta vcraig@wythek12.org |

| While I missed the boat graduating with the class of '71, I certainly feel ties to you all. I was in school with some from Mrs. Chapell's until graduation. I came across this site completely by accident and I want to wish you all a sincere peace of mind and spirit in your lives. I am so sorry for the loss of our classmates. |

| Talofa Everyone...I was 'one of you' until February 1968 when my family moved to American Samoa. While I've been in contact with Billy Beasley, I did not receive notification of the Class Reunion in time to make plans. The photo albums are great - wish more names were available under each photo. If any of you are ever in the South Pacific, please look me up. Or write: samoaeve@yahoo.com |

| I never knew about the 2011 reunion. I attended the one on the James River boat some yrs. ago & am still at the same address in Va.Beach. I must have fallen thru the cracks somehow. Would love to have seen everyone. |
