| Hello fellow classmates, unfortunately we lost Sharon Anita Carr (Williams), in July 2007. She was my neighbor (she lived across the street) and friend. Sharon was an extremely shy and caring person. Sharon graduated from the Riverside Regional Hospital school of nursing, and was employed as an LPN. |

| Steve and reunion committee. Great job on the organizing, communication, and website for our 30th reunion. Unfortunately, this will be this first one that I will have to miss since our 5-year when I was in Germany. I will be traveling that weekend trying to get my son recruited to play basketball in College. You guys have done a wonderful job reconnecting some of us. I will be thinking about you guys that weekend. Keep my boy Frank Brown in check. Give my best to everyone. See you at the 35th!

|
| I will attend as a guest of Cynthina Sturdivant Willis. I graduated from Hampton High School in 1979, but I have so many friends and family from the BHS Class of 79 that I thought I would attend the Friday Nigh event only. |

| Sorry, in N.C. disabled and no way to get there. Was really looking forward to coming and seeing a lot of those who liked me and even those of you who disliked me. No more drugs or alcohol for me, yet took a while and some more lumps on my head. July 10/09 will be 5 years sober / clean and a miracle and a very different person today. I wish each of you everything in life you ever wanted and hope to see some of you in the coming years. I live in the Outer Banks, so if you come down to the beach and want to get together ,just let me know! STV |

| I can't wait to fellowship with everyone! I attended the Class of '77 reunion and had the time of my life. Afterwards I was able to connect with Yvette Mendenhall (79), Yvonne Garrett (79), Patricia Washington (80), Maxine Laws (80), Tammy Johnson (77), Nevada McNeil (78) and Pacita McNeil (81). We now get together for Joynes Road Girls Weekend. In the fall 2007 and 2008 we held the event at my house in Northern, VA. In July we will meet at Patrecia's in ATL. My doors will be open again in the fall. What a fun a relaxing opportunity! Robin Tate - Thanks for keeping me informed. Looking forward to seeing you again soon! |
