Hello everyone,

I want to say thank you to all who were responsible for the reunion!  It was a wonderful experience...I renewed old friendships and met some new folks too!   I also was very  pleased to see some of my teachers...that was a great idea to invite them.   And by the way...I thought everyone looked fabulous!!!  

God Bless,      Diane Cheatham Conyers Keep

Hi Diane,

It was fun to see you Diane and YOU looked fabulous! 

Harry, we were all disappointed you were not there!  After Miami won on Thursday, we thought maybe you'd surprise us and show up on Saturday night.

The teachers who came all said how much they enjoyed seeing everyone.  It made me realize how important it is to remember all our teachers and let them know they made a positive influence on many students.

I had so much fun seeing everyone who came. I sure hope we can stay in touch with this neat website- thanks again to Harry!  Hopefully, the next time we want to get together, we can use this website to post the info with even more of our classmates.  Keep letting people know about it and encourage them to register.

Hi Marcia,

Looks like you had a great weekend ...I'm sure it was a lot of fun!  I hope the website made it a little easier planning the reunion.  Please add more photos if you have any and let me know anything else you would like to add.  I hope more of our classmates sign up with their profiles and keep in touch.

I really wanted to make it to Joplin, but with the Miami Heat making the NBA Finals I was planning a lot of events.  After the win Thursday night I thought about jumping on a plane and heading up, but ended up celebrating the whole weekend!

Hi Harry,

I thought you probably had a weekend of celebration after the Heat won on Thursday,  AND while our reunion was just terrific, I suppose you had a good reason to stay in Florida!   But we all missed seeing you. The photographer took lots of candid shots at the reunion, as well as the group photo.  I'll be glad to post those on the site when they are available.  Gavin Chartier took some very good pictures too, and I hope he will be sharing some of those.

Thanks again for this wonderful website and please stay in touch.

I really enjoyed the reunion and like everyone else, I wish more classmates had come.

My thanks to all that put it together, it took a lot of time and effort.

I left right after High School, as did a lot of others and have only came back to visit family.

To be honest I think 10 yrs is too long to wait to see everybody again and the clock is ticking for all of us.

Thanks again

I am glad to say that this reunion was the best one yet.  I am not saying the other reunions were not fun, because the were.  Maybe I'm an old geezer, but I enjoyed speaking with as many people as I could.  Every event was well thought out and planned.  I have no idea how much work it entailed, but I really appreciate it.  My wife had a good time and she had never been to Joplin until she came to the 30 reunion.  I thank everyone that sacrificed the time and money to come.  It was really worth our time to attend.  And to Marcia Long, I thank you for the time you visited with us about your life after your Dad.  It meant a lot to me.  Thanks to all, I was only disappointed on how much time I couldn't spend dancing with my wife.  Sometimes the body does not cooperate.  Blessings to all..
