Dennis,

Thanks for the update on our always exuberant and gifted classmate Tyndalll. Definitely will keep him and his dear wife Janice in my prayers during these difficult days.

Thanks, for your update, Dennis. So sorry for Tyndell and Janice. It must be terrible to have to go through all this. 
I'm sure it's difficult for you, too, to see your long time friend like this. 
Prayers for peace to you all.

Dennis, thanks so much for the update on Tyndall.  I knew he wasn't doing well but I had no idea how serious his condition is.  Please keep us informed of anything Janice or others in the family might need or appreciate.  Prayers are foremost, of course. Tyndall and Janice are on so many prayer lists including mine.

Your remininscences about the old days made me chuckle and brought back a few other Tyndall memories.  Whiffle ball in the back yard.  The infamous "you know how many?" exam study session at my house.  Shooting pool at Clemson when drill got rained out (and a few other times, too).  Dance weekends at Clemson.

I was so saddened by your last post, but grateful in a way for the opportunity to reflect.  Tyndall is truly one of kind.  Thank you for sharing.

Another Tyndallism:  Once you were a Junior at Clemson and taking an elective class, a student had unlimited cuts.  Tyndall decided to see if he could pass without attending any lectures and only being there for the designated test days.  The professor never attended test days and geve that duty to a grad student.  Thinking that he had done well enough to pass at the end of the semester, he went by the professor's office to see his grade posted along with everyone elses's on his office door.  Beside his bame was an I (incomplete).  Tyndall arranged to see the professor..  On meeting the professor, the professor said, "Mr. Estes, you passed. I just wanted to see what you looked like!"  Those were the days,

Our hearts go out to our old friends Tyndal and Janice.

It is with great sadness that I report to you that our classmate Libby(Drake) Neely had her husband taken from this world on December 20. Please remember Libby in your thoughts and prayers as we move into 2024. The obituary of her husband, Paul Jordan, can be found through this link: https://www.legacy.com/us/obituaries/heraldonline/name/paul-jordan-obituary?id=53898337

It hasn't been that long ago, but these aren't around anymore.  

Band-Aids in tin box with hinged lid.  Nothing but the best for the Boomers!

Brenda Leazer (Chandler)

I still have one of those and just refill it!  

WOW Brenda!  Smart girl!  k

Wayne Haselden

So do I. I do the same thing.  

Well, I feel terrible! I don't have one and never will.   k

David Sealy

as accident prone as I am I have Band-Aids in both cars on my tractor and my house in four rooms. And it doesn't help to be on blood thinners. Getting old is not for Sissies.

David, blood thinners don't help, but we are blessed with so ways to plug all the holes when we spring a leak.  Old age certainly isn't for Sissies. I love this Tee shirt which expresses my desire to not have to proove my ability to keep a stiff upper lip all the time. k

Love this photo on Facebook by two high school buddies, Ernie Wright and Harry Blue.

Cotton Howell

     Had the pleasure of having lunch with Ernie and other classmates Terry Wingate (Jerry was there also) the day before Ernie started treatment.

Prayers for Ernie and Laura.  Love the pictures Becky and Cotton. Thanks so much!  k

I posted this once before  but will do it again. When the '65 football Bearcats were on defence these two fellas were our cornerbacks. When those big offensive gaurds pulled on a sweep around end and some big fullback or speedy halfback was coming fast, these 2 Bearcats took the brunt of the punishment on hitting them first. Jimmy Laughridge and I at saftey would come pile on. Sometimes we got credit for the tackle which really was't fair.

Ernie , great to see you up and around !!!

Max Youngblood posted some Central School first grade class pictures on his profile page and it would be great if someone could identify any of the kids.  Thanks for your help!!

Classmates,

It is with a heavy heart that I inform you that classmate Ernie Wright was taken from us earler this morning, Friday, March 8. I received the word from Harry Blue who has been best friends with Ernie since the days they both anchored the defensive backfield for our Bearcat football team. I know Ernie's wife Laura, their children, grandchildren and others in their inner circle would covet your prayers at this difficult time. You finished well, Ernie. Well done, sir.

I'm sorry to hear the news about Ernie. I remember Ernie from Sylvia Circle days until RHHS. About 10 years ago I carried my brother-in-law the the ER in RH and a gentleman spoke to me. I didn't recognize Ernie at first but it was great  to see Ernie there.  We had a nice chat and filled in some old times. So many great memories.

Rebecca Littlefield (Jones)

So sorry to hear about Ernie's passing.  Such a sweet and kind guy.  Prayers for the family.

🙏

Becky Armstrong (Helms)

Anne, thank you for checking in. It is good to hear from you!

My sympathies to the family of Ernie Wright, a loyal friend to those who knew him and a dedicated member of our class through the years.

May the days ahead bind us closer together as we recall our youth and days as Bearcats. Keep the faith everyone and stay in touch.

Becky

So sorry to hear of Ernie's passing.  We played sports against and with each other from elementary school to high school.  He was a nice guy.  He would work shutdowns at Bowater on occasion and of course, we would chat at reunions. Prayers for his family.
