Good news...Check Out the New Lower Price!

With George Tayloe's input, we were able to negotiate a lower price for the reunion. The Reunion Committee met today with "The Columns".  We were able to get a reduction in price, which is a welcome relief. Hopefully this will make it easier for all to attend the reunion. To see updated information and price, go to the BHS Reunion Information page, by clicking on the tab at the top of the blog or you can (click here). Plans are progressing well. A lot of thought is being given to this reunion. For many of us, it has been far too long since our last gathering. Our aim is to make it an outstanding reunion. The clock of life seems to run faster with each passing year!

New "Stuff" on our Blog!

Thanks to Betty Lou (Williams) Eden; we now have an 8th grade graduation picture (1946) posed in front of the old BHS, posted in the Classmate Photos section. Take a look and notice the dead pan expression on all of our faces (click here, or click on the Classmate Photos tab at the top). This class continued and emerged from BHS as Class of 1950. Sadly, at least 5 have passed away. The little gal on the bottom left is Lorna Finley, my wife. We will be married 60 years, April 2012.

Also, take a look at the picture of Everett (Skip) Oesch. He was the first graduate in 1938 of BHS and he was a "Class of One".  Not many schools can duplicate that performance!

Another comment was submitted by Patsy (Combs) Hornaday of her first grade memories with Miss Barker.

More and more of our classmates are being dredged up from the contacts that I've made. Today, I received a disappointing email from Bernard Ousley stating he will be unable to attend. I was really looking forward to seeing Bernie after all these many years. Fortunately, our list is growing and so far it looks like about 60 people are planning to attend. I'm optimistic we will more than double that figure once the word spreads about this reunion.

I would like to find a representative from each class that have had reunions in the past and hope they could help in notifying their classmates too! Or send a list to me (via email) and I will follow up. Networking is the best solution to getting the word out to all.

Check back often to keep up with the latest developments.
