I've only seen a few classmates since graduation.  So, hey everybody. After I graduated from college as a nurse, I lived hither and yon--Nebraska and Texas then back home where the grass is green and there are TREES!  I went back to college several times and went into critical care then emergency room.  Finally, I retired from nursing and pursued the writing career I always wanted. I have three published books now and two that I'm working on at present.  I have a website: www.sarahmcneal.com I still play the violin--not all that well though and I learned how to play the bagpipes.  My neighbors can testify that I'm not that great in that either since they're really loud--and annoying. ha ha I'll have to come back and check on you guys to see what others have been doing. God, has it been 44 years since graduation?  Feelin' kinda decrepit now. All good things to your corner of the universe. Sally

Oh yeah, almost forgot.  I graduated from West class of 1965. Sally

I hope to be there with my happiness Amanda Bowers to show her off and teach why i was a member of "Q", the orig. hey, dancing man! of the strange 70's era band a one album wonder. she be's a bit younger, her 39 to my 62, but it proves I still HAVE IT! she must learn shag...practice it, and live it! we will come[if she lets me] Charlie!

 The West/Harding Reunion at the beach is so much fun and I\'m affraid I will have to miss it this year.  Medicare changed the Annual Enrollment period to Oct. 15th to Jan. 7th.  This is when I work seven days a week for Humana as a sales agent.  I\'m going to try and come on Saturday, but I will have to wait and see what my work load is.  I know all who go are going to have a wonderful time.  I have heard many classmates that have never attended a reunion before will be going this year.  It is a special time with so many memories and fondness for our class.  I hope to be retired next year when the AEP comes around so if the good Lord is willing and I don\'t get to come this year, I will see you in 2012.  HAVE A GREAT TIME!

I'll be there! Can't wait to see you all.Johnny RHarding '63

Hey, just wanted to say hello to  all the HHS 65 classmates. It\'s been a loooooooooog time!!!

Harding '65...Last year was my first beach reunion, this year I am going down on Monday and staying all week, the reunion is just a 3 day party where you can meet old friends and just sit around and catch up on all the years since your last seeing them! A great opportunity to meet a whole bunch of new people that have a couple of very similar qualities as you, they grew up on the Westside, a lot of us have never left the westside, and we all went to two really good schools where there was strong rivalry but it was because we were proud of where we went to school and now a good number of years later, we come together and "toast to the best times, the 60's"...If you have never been, please come at least once and I promise, it won't be the last time!!

don't see many grads of West '68 signed up; hopefully, they are all just waiting to show up. Second year for us. Husband did not know anybody but he had a wonderful time and is ready for reunion #2 for us.

Harding, Class of '65.  We've attended three reunions and love them so much.   Can hardly wait for this upcoming event.  Severely tore a hamstring muscle while roller skating around Freedom Park, but hope and pray that I'll be healed and ready for shagging in October.

Just saying hey to everyoneHHS69Ronnie

Hi Everyone, especially WMHS Class of '62. This was our first year to attend. My brother, Steve, was the main reason we went. What a great time. There were only 5 from WMHS Class of '62. Hope more of you can make it in 2009.

We will be there this year.  We missed the last one and can't wait for this one

We look forward to an exciting week-end of reunions and meeting old/new folks that grew up alongside us some years back when times were surely not as crazy as they are presently! Hopefully the good Lord will provide us with health and a free schedule to make it to this reunion that we have come to enjoy so! Beth & Roger

Just made our reservations and paid for the "Dance"  Hope to see the class of Harding 1965 take the lead as the top class this year! Can't wait to see everyone! Raye

I've never attended a reunion.  I was very shy in school. 

Thanks to all who replied to my message from late last year asking if anyone in my class -Harding 62 - or classes immediately before or after were attending the reunion.  They convinced me I should go.  I'll be there for 2009 Reunion and 65th Birthday Party.  I just submitted my registration.  Looking forward to seeing everyone!  My compliments to Bill Teague and Larry Parker for all their work in communicating with everyone.

The reunion was great. This was my first time and I would recommend  to anyone who has not been to plan and come next year. You will see alot of friends who you know, who you didn't know very well, and new friends. It is well worth the trip. Thanks to the committee for such a wonderful job in planning the reunion. See you next year.

Checking for the latest HHS/West news

can\'t wait to see everyone.  we will have the time of our life. just enough excitement to keep wanting TO COME BACK YEAR AFTE YEAR MY FOURTH

Carole is absolutely right! Amazing and wonderful things can happen at these reunions!  Steve and I hadn\'t seen or talked since high school.  We both almost didn\'t go to the \'09 reunion, but friends twisted our arms.  We were both available, talked a little at the reunion, emailed some afterward. Then Steve came to Charlotte for his mother\'s surgery.  He called me, we had our first date on March 4, soon were engaged, and got married on May 8, 2010.  And we\'re living happily everafter!  :)  See what can happen?

I've only seen a few classmates since graduation.  So, hey everybody.
