I have just received this updated site and see a few people I went to school with.I miss the school days we had ,as for school no I don't miss it all that much.I went to Coulwood,and wilson Jr. High Schools before going to West.I quit in my Junoir year like an idiot and have regretted it ever since.I went on to get my B.S. from the  Univ.of Tenn. but it was never the same.I went into the service ,Navy , and met and married a wonderful lady from California, Sharon .I just wanted to say hi and hope the reunion goes well as I will never be a part of what you do. The price you pay for quitting.ThanksLarry Ballentine

comment by Kyle Beam

I don't qualify as a Harding or West Meck graduate but I did spend a few years a Wilson Jr High as well as Berryhill Elementary.  I lived on the West Side out near the airport and made a few lifelong friends during a very impressionable time of my life.  I think it is absolutely amazing what Harding and West have been able to do keeping the "Old Days" alive as well as continuing friendships for so many years. If my memory serves me correct  there must have been a time that school boundry lines was changed .  I  came back a dated a girl in 1968 that was going to Harding but I do know at one time she would have gone to  West from the same location she lived at. Of course we would come from cherryville duing my high school days and go to many of the same places - BBQ King,  Town and Country, The Cellar,  Park Center and even The Purple Penguin.  I would have graduated with many of you guys in 1969 had my mom stuck around  instead of moving a little west ...I really love the music of that era and some of you know about "The Friday Night Revival" on WSGE. For some of you graduates that moved away you can still listen onlline live from 6pm until 10pm every friday night by going to www.wsge.org  and clicking on listen live.   We play a whole lot of the great tunes from the sixties which I refer to as the West side music.. In may I will be doing an all sixties night along with DJ Ed Timberlake at Lynns Dance Club and would love to have this group come on out and party like we used too.  I thnk it is May 23rd.  Again,  this is great what all of you have been able to sustain.  Keep it up,  it makes me proud to have just lived on the west side for a few years during that wonderful time.  Big Ways  Treasure Hunt ..   .. Big Ways Birthday Parties .. hmmm ... the memories just go on and on ...

Anyone  collecting "BEACH GLASS"? I plan to get my share while at Ocean Drive this year.I'll see ya on the sand. PS: "Old Flames" and "want-a-bees" bring a big smile and your dancing shoes. Yeah!

comment by Gerald Wingate

It is wonderful to be able to see all those familiar faces that I never thought I would see again.  I went to Viet Nam in 1970 instead of finishing my last year at West Mecklinburg but I still see the 17 and 18 year olds in the eyes of my classmates.  It does me good to see you all again.  Go Indians!!!

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
