Thanks for sending, Dennis. I thought we had that on record, but couldn't find it. K

Kay Manning (Elrod)

A classmate has inquired about Rita Nalley.  Does anyone have any information about Rita?

Kay Manning (Elrod)

Dennis has a little New Year's competition - Mary Ann Moody Foley who just joined the web site shares a birthday with Dennis - January 1, 1948. I wonder if they were born at the same hospital?

Recently, while searching for some information for our reunion committee, I had the opportunity to reread some of our conversations on Message Forum. You can do this by clicking on the page numbers which go back to 2011.  One of my favorite conversations all of you talked about was growing up in RH and the elementary schools you attended, including some of RH's not so desireable residents like the Blue Buckles and Green Dots, your favorite places to eat, neighborhoods, and what a safe and fun place it was to grow up in. I also noticed some of the people who contributed to the discussions have not been heard from in quite some time, for example, Tommy Hart. Does anyone know how Tommy is doing?  I miss his input.  Also, Jackie Kimbrell - I know you are out there Jackie. We need to hear from you. Mike Woodall used to keep us informed about the music and the radio program he enjoyed, miss hearing from you, Mike. Check in and let us know how you all are. K

Our Class Reunion Committee is really working hard to find our lost classmates. There is a question about Ronnie Broome who is listed on our list, but there has been some confusion about his name and where he is. Cheryl found that he was also listed as Lonnie Broome. Ronald Broome died some time ago.  There is also a Ronald Broom listed in the Class of 1967. We can assume this is the same person since Ronnie disappeared from the Class of '66 radar about his junior year.  Does anyone have any information regarding Ronnie/ Lonnie Broome or Ronald Broom? HELP!

2/2/23  Thanks to Annie Williams and Barbara Smith Lazenby from Class '67, I think we have this problem solved. Thanks girls, you've been a great help!

George, your weekly blog to the class is a hoot and, I must say, your discretion in not singing those words while running laps for Coach Wallace or anywhere else near the boys' locker room was to your advantage and probably saved you a lot of grief back in those days. 

Your class trivia is so fun and your efforts to wake and shake us up are greatly appreciated. You are such an asset to the web site.  One thing we are short of these days is humor, and laughing is one of the most enjoyable physical activities at any age. It takes practically no energy at all and has the added benefit of burning calories. So, it is safe to say the more we laugh, the more cookies we can eat.  Thanks for all your hard work. K

George Crow

You are too kind, Kay, but as I just told another, "Flattery will get you everywhere." :-)

Now if our classmates will start unlocking their memories and sharing stories, I'm sure there's plenty more laughs to come!

George, we would be happy to unlock the memories and share with you, but some of us have misplaced the key. It's hard to remember what we ate for breakfast this morning. 

Linda Greene (George)

Found out this morning that our classmate, Cathy Walker Cranford passed away last month. She was the widow of another classmate, Richard Cranford.

Service will be this Thursday the 16th at Greene's Northwest Chapel.

Her obit can be found at Greene's website.

She was a very sweet person and I know she will be missed.

What were you doing in 1981?  One of many of our special classmates serving the community such as Max Youngblood, who served as The Exhaulted Ruler of the Rock Hill Elks Club #1318, 1981-1982.

Jimmy Vick

I had just transfered to Pensacola, Fl to a composite helicopter squadron flying search & rescue for the Gulf Coast and plane guard for the USS Lexington. Also got to watch my Clemson Tigers win the 1981 National Championship by going undefeated and beating Nebraska in the Orange Bowl, January 1982.

Thanks for your service to our country, Jimmy.  The way you guys can remember ballgames and dates is a wonder to me. K

Kay Manning (Elrod)

Did anyone happen to catch "The French Connection" (1971) on TV last night?  I stayed awake long enough to see Mz. Rebecca Armstrong (Helms) make her acting debut. She was outstanding in the role of airline stewardess/flight attendant.  

Kay, if you blinked you would miss my scene. The plane was in the hangar at LaGuardia airport when the filming took place. When my fellow flight attendant and I arrived we did not recognize any of the actors and concluded noone would ever see this movie. To our surprise it won the academy award that year for best picture. Becky

George Crow

Love the Max, Jimmy & Becky vignettes. But speaking only of 1981, my highlight was seeing our beautifull daugter become potty trained!

No service too small! And we all thank you for that!

Kay Manning (Elrod)

George, here is the photo you wanted to post of Lyn and Chantal, pen pals since Mrs. Connelly's French class. Amazing!  K

Many of the photos are posted in our Photo Gallery here on the web site. It's fun to review all that you have submitted over the years.  We would love to have more!

George Crow

Great photos, Kay. Keep 'em coming!

Becky Armstrong (Helms)

This photo was taken in France last year with Lyn's French pen pal, Chantal.

Kay Manning (Elrod)

George: I love your class trivia!  It is amazing how you get people to open up and tell their stories. Thanks!

Ernie Wright

Is there going to be any activity Friday night before the reunion?

Becky Armstrong (Helms)

Ernie, 

The reunion committee discussed the two day option. We decided to put our energy and resources toward a one night event. 

I hope those still considering signing up will contact George or any committee member soon to make your intentions known. It will be a fun filled evening no doubt.

Becky

Gail King (Davis)

Picture day with our robes.

Gail, thanks so much for the picture.  That was so long ago, but seems like yesterday.  We always appreciate any photos you all can send.  K

Kay Manning (Elrod)

Jimmy, on the pictures that you just posted, is that a new baby?  Have you named it yet?

Jimmy Vick

That pic was from last year, Kay. I deleted some old ones and I guess it moved them up.

Twila Carney (Schoeppner-Moyer)

Phyllis Moore (class of '66) gained her angel wings this morning at 2:10 after a hard fought battle with bladder cancer. She was loved by all that knew her and will be missed terribly. We all take solace that she is now with her Lord. Per her request, she will have a graveside service this Saturday at 2:00 at Sunset Hill Cemetery 500 Alta Vista Rd. North Augusta, SC There will be a drop in later in Rock Hill for us to gather and share our memories of Phyllis. I will post when those plans are finalized.

Kay Manning (Elrod)

Oh David! I'm still laughing at your comment at the SC Firefighters' Memorial Service that George shared with us.  Our most embarrassing moments tend to stay with us forever.  Your sense of humor is uplifting!  Kay

Kay Manning (Elrod)

Happy Birthday to Becky today!  She has spent months of endless hours working on the reunion and our web site. Thanks for all you do Becky!

Rebecca Littlefield (Jones)

A very happy birthday to you Becky!!  🎉🌷🎊🥳>
