Send her an email if you know any of these characters. eflaherty61@yahoo.com Click to enlarge 09/20/2011: three reunion videos from Sam Parker - here 09/11/2011: From Sam I am blown away by Danny's contribution...I have committed to play the 50th for class of '62 as Tommy Weathers asked me to. I really enjoyed seeing all my classmates again and thanks again for having me....Sam Parker 09/11/2011: From Bette Classmates, $388.00 left over from DVD's -75 for a brick at the Convention Center outside that says RHS Class of '61 - 50th Reunion 2011 Leaving us cash in the amount of $213.00 for the next reunion. We started with $150.00 from last summer in Ruidoso from donations so I feel like most all of the money collected from this reunion will go to the reunion they paid for. A very nice surprise...Danny Adams sent a check for Sam Parker for all of his wonderful music and making our reunion such a success. I mailed it to him yesterday and told him it was from Danny. The DVD mailing was completed on Saturday so you should be seeing the DVDs in a few days. Gary 08/08/2011: From Gary Don, thanks for sending me Ron’s number at the hospital. I talked to him a little bit ago and he is going home tomorrow. Was going to happen today but he asked them to stay over until tomorrow for accommodating a transportation situation for him. He is anxious to get out! Just wanted to update. I don’t have an email for Dave Woolsey so if anyone has it you might want to let him know too. (Anyone know how to contact Dave Woolsey??) 08/08/2011: From Elaine: Well, the reunion is over, the dust has settled sorta. I’ve quit whining, almost and here are my thoughts:( Assuming you care) What an outstanding job was done by all! The venue, the entertainment, the centerpieces, the decorations, the organization were excellent. Also ya’ll clean up pretty good as evident by the pictures! You may not be able to “ go home again” but you can certainly enjoy the people you grew up with. So my observations are: 1. There just wasn’t enough time. I didn’t get to see everyone I wanted to 2. Next time lets just eat and talk…. Perhaps we’ll play musical chairs to get to talk to everyoneJ 3. Lets give Bette, Suzie, Paul etc a break and have it somewhere else…somewhere that you can actually get to (ask Gary and Sharon about their journey). Currently under discussion is Dallas as it is easy and cheap to get to. It’s the people, not the place, right? 4. Nothing formal…just whoever can come, come! 5. I did mention we are going to keep on doing this every year, right? Do I hear an “Amen”? 6. One last observation: Linda L. Weathers and Peggy Whites eyelashes are still far too long and Gloria (both of them) have gotten even more beautiful. Where’s the fairness in that? Oh yeah, our generous benefactor was pleased….hummmm was she there? Elaine 08/08/2011 From Jim Ayres I attended the reunion and it was absolutely fantastic. Thanks to all the folks who worked so hard putting it together. All of us reminisced about the past and created so many memories for the future. Right below the main menu is the Alma Mater sung by my sister Kay Ayres. What a great surprise for me. My father (deceased) wrote the RHS Alma Mater, my sister sang it and I could hear my mother (deceased) in the background accompanying Kay on the piano. It was such an emotional moment for me. Thanks to Don for putting it on our website and anyone else who may have had that old 45 RPM record. 8/07/2011: Just talked to Ron Horton. He is in a hospital in Houston and expects to be released next week. Frank Horton is there with him. He really tried to get to reunion. His number is 832-921-0490 and he would welcome any calls. 08/02/2011: Carol Burk writes... Thank you for the update of the reunion. I am sorry I missed it. I was in Crested Butte, Colorado, and could not get down to Roswell. I am in Eagle Nest, New Mexico, right now visiting with friends. Will return home around August 15. You are a good website Builder. I need a website to sell my books on how to teach students how to love school. I was a retired Special Education Counselor for many years. I have used my photography as a background for my books. ... Carol 07/27/2011: Jerry McCormack submitted an article for the Roswell Daily Record... Click here (pdf) 07/27/2011: From Stephen Wolfe on July 27,2011: I'm a grandpa again! Addie Lou Wolfe born in Virginia today and baby, mom, dad, and both grand mothers are all well! Praise God!
