Billy Anderson

Today we are adding Billy Anderson (William Willis Anderson, Jr.) to our "In Memoriam" list.  His wife, Carole, advised that he passed away in 2005.

Judy Powell Bryant's 8th grade Robinson class

Here is Judy Powell Bryant's 8th grade Robinson class. You'll recognize many if not most of the kids. You may even recognize yourself. If we can get a bigger picture later, will repost. But until then, see who you can find.

The Voodoos

Here's a picture of The Voodoos circa 1964: Rick Kelley, Chuck Ross on drums, Scotty Penrod hidden by the mike, and Teddy Burttram from Springville High. Rick says, "We toured colleges and universities for a few years while attending school and finding our way in life."

More connections -see Sept 28 comments

I remembered another connection with classmate, Linda Lankford Hambright. My dad went to school with her dad as well as Scotty Penrod's mother.

In Memoriam

Sadly, I have added Helen Westbrook's name to the list of our missing classmates.

Photo from Robinson Elementary

Mitch Almon sent this picture of his 8th grade class at Robinson. I only listed the first name and last name initial.

Mitch said there may be some id errors but thought these were correct.

Hidden E-Mail Addresses

In response to the following e-mail I received from Pam, I went back and deleted all the e-mail addresses previously posted.  If anyone wants an e-mail address, contact me or Pam (or, hopefully, you saved that list!)!  Hope no one got any unwanted e-mails in the interim....:

Janice Ellis Schmidt sent a note that her email address should be janschmdt803@gmail.com.

Connie, I was talking with Nancy and Jim last night that since the blog spot isn't secured, I don't like my name and email address being out there for public viewing and there may be a lot of others who feel the same way.  And when classmates said it was ok to share theirs, I feel sure they meant for other classmates eyes only.  All you have to do is hit Next Blog and you'll bring up a blog you have no idea who or what or where it's from.

Now that the email has gone out and everyone's name is on it and by clicking 'Show Details" you can see everyone's email address, can't we remove the email addresses from the blog spot and then Shirley, you send out another email advising that for security reasons they have been removed from the blog spot but can be viewed by clicking Show Details on the email.  If we're proactive quickly, then if anyone else is like me and doesn't want their information on an unsecured site, we'll head off any complaints.  Then with our next mail out we can possibly include email addresses with it.

Reunion mail out

The first mail out regarding the union has been mailed out. The information should arrive one day this week or by the first of next week. It includes a letter; list of those who plan to come, an "In Memoriam" list, and list of classmates we can't find; a Save the Date card; a questionnaire; and a return envelope.

As soon as the questionnaires start coming in, work can begin on the Classmate Booklet. And as soon as you begin sending pictures work can begin on the video montage that Jim "Smitty" Smith has graciously said he would put together for us.

It's hard to believe that five months have already passed since we had our first meeting but this 50 Year Reunion Track is on the track towards its destination.

Mrs. Black's 8th grade spring class @ Barrett

Can you find yourself in the class photo: Going from left to right, Row 1: Peggy A., Carolyn F., Nita W., Cynthia H., Nancy W., Karen McC., Cecilia B., Nancy N.(didn't graduate with us and is now deceased), and Pam V. Row 2: Ray P., Jerry C., Hugh S., Jim D., Aubrey B., Jim W., Tony H., Tom A., and John M. and Mr. Bowie, Principal. Row 3: Minette T., Martha B., Janie H., Margaret W., Dot McD., Ann F., and ? and Mrs. Black, teacher. Row 4: Harold A., Johnny E., Reed W., Joe P., Bill C., Douglas W., and Al L.

What happened to him and when?

Thanks for this website

I was truly touched at the list of those who have passed away. My heart breaks that we won't be able to see them again at our reunion. I hope everyone shows up. I went to Buddy's 50th Reunion for the Woodlawn Class of '59 last October and we had such a good time. I really cant wait.

All Aboard!

Everyone's e-mail address has been entered as "author" to the blog, meaning everyone can post messages, pictures, etc., and you can link your own blog to the Reunion blog to post your happenings, pics of your family, videos, etc.  Only 100 e-mail addresses were allowed as 'authors' so I will have to figure out a way to get the other 12 listed.  I will also try to copy and paste an alphabetical list of the names with their matching e-mails.


Spouse is working on getting all the pics from our senior annual scanned in so I can get them posted.  If any of you have any photos from our high school years, please post them (and be sure to identify the folks in the picture!)...


Looking forward to seeing what you all post!

Looking for the following classmates. Do you know where they are or what's happened to them? If you do, please email bankshigh1961reunion@gmail.com.
