MANATEE HIGH SCHOOL CLASS OF 1972

 

THIRTY YEAR REUNION

 

FRIDAY, JULY 5TH, 2002 - UNSTRUCTURED GET TOGETHER TO WELCOME OUT OF TOWN CLASSMATES AT PARK INN - UPDATE OF FRIDAY EVENING - We all had a great time in spite of the location. Former classmates have informed me that they felt a little unwelcome by the hotel staff. Perhaps a few letters need to be written by the former classmates to the Manager. - All in all, we did have a great time getting together with (old?) friends and after all, isn't that the most important thing to remember about the evening?

SATURDAY, JULY 6, 2002
MORNING -10:00 AM TOUR OF MANATEE HIGH SCHOOL-UPDATE: The tour was really enjoyable to the former classmates that took the time out to attend. Thank you Nancy High, Brittany Robinson and Shannon Ayersman for taking your time to show us around. The feeling was that the students of MHS are really fortunate to have such a wonderful facility and we are very happy for them.

EVENING - - BRADENTON COUNTRY CLUB - UPDATE: We had an absolutely fabulous evening and the Country Club really outdid themselves. The food was out of this world and the staff was great to us!They were all ready to fill our every request. Thank you again!

Randy Nobles did a really nice job being the Master of Ceremonies and we love you Randy!

I've had several emails concerning the door prizes that were offered at the reunion. Apparently the feeling is that everyone is very happy for Vaughn and Pam Powell(married the longest) and also for Bill and Lori King(the most children), however Darnell (or is it Arnell?)Thomas (traveling the farthest) is being questioned as Darnell said he came from Germany to attend the reunion but sources tell me that he really lives in Bradenton!!!!!!?? Could this be true? According to my sources, Darnell's consistant (borderline harrassing) phone calls to all of the former classmates (mostly women) state that the caller ID says Darrell Thomas but it's always Darnell wanting to "have lunch" with someone. Make sure that your family checks the caller ID before they answer the phone! This is just a informational tip.

Also, come on Terrill Moore, 14 grandchildren?!!!? Apparently he only listed himself as having one child in the reunion booklet so. . . . . According to the emails received, if you needed the money that bad, it's yours!!!! We hope you enjoy it! But on the other hand, Terrill may have been stretching the truth a bit but he's still a nice guy and hasn't been reported making any weird phone calls.

The Reunion Committee would like to say "you're welcome" to everyone who has taken the time to say thank you for the hard work and hours that were put in to make your reunion happen. The suggestion box is now closed. Putting together a reunion takes many hours of time on top of our already very busy lives. Yes, things were not perfect and some people not contacted. We're how old? A little responsibility has got to be put back on the 1972 graduate to make an effort to find out about the Reunion.

SUNDAY - FAMILY PICNIC - NORTH INN, ANNA MARIA ISLAND (BRING YOUR OWN PICNIC AND LETS ENJOY THE BEACH WITH OUR FAMILIES) UPDATE: We enjoyed the beach and the company of the classmates that showed up. J & J's Barbeque did a great job. Also, a special thank you to Sandy Pennington for asking the blessing.

You should have been there to find out why the cops came!!!! See what happens when you miss attending a reunion function?

GOLF UPDATE: The golfers (all guys) had great time getting together playing golf and sharing some "big ones."

Please send me your pics of the Reunion festivities so that I can post them on this site.If you know of anyone that took pictures, please remind them to send them in. So far, none have been received.
