50th Reunion, August 30, 2025.

09/01/2025

Wow! What a wonderful Reunion Weekend! The plans came together, the weather was great and reconnecting with "old" friends -- priceless. We have over 90 photos uploaded to the PictureQR link so far. If you took photos and haven't uploaded them yet, please do so in the next few days (before you forget). We will be sharing them on each of the class pages soon, so set a reminder to check back for updates. We want to recognize the people and vendors that helped make this weekend special.

Thank you Judy Cunningham (and team) with the Vinton History Museum for opening after hours, answering questions and insuring information specific to our three classes was available and on display.

Hats off to Cindy Dickerson and Ashley Stultz for wrangling our classmates and guiding them on a tour through the school. We heard many comments about how amazing (and totally different) it looked from when we were students.

Al and Nancy Hammond, with Boxtree Lodge on Glenburn Farms. You were so helpful and accommodating. It was the perfect place to hold our event.

Tracy Hamilton Catering - Everyone agreed, the food was wonderful.

Cindy Gardner - as usual, your cakes are THE BEST!

Twisted Track Brewpub - Thanks for the special "brew". It was enjoyed by many.

Thanks also to Patrick Musselwhite, our D.J., for sharing those wonderful 70's tunes that brought back so many special memories.

Also, a shoutout to Kennedy McGee for the balloon towers and Amy Frye for stepping in and taking the group pictures.

We want to thank our teachers, Gerald Carter, Rick and Shirley Calhoun, Linda Catron, Deanna Gordon and Betty Hall for coming out to spend time with us and share a memory or two.

Finally, we want to thank the Classmates from '75, '76, and '77 (and guests) that came out and supported this milestone event and helped make this a celebration to remember.

Time for another Monday Memory. This classmate shared a memory that I'm sure will resonate with many of you.

"Remember cruisin? While our older brothers and sisters had Williamson Road, we had Hardy Road. First Pizza Hut opened, then came Burger King. Soon thereafter -- McDonalds. Driving everything from Pintos and Vegas, to "souped up" muscle cars -- and even some dads' farm trucks -- we cruised the Hardy "strip." With that great '70s rock blaring from speakers, we circled the loop from Pizza Hut thru McDonalds parking lot, where we mingled with friends. To the frustration of manager "Ronald McDonald," we commandeered parking spaces for otherwise preferred family customers, and we rarely bought anything to eat. ''Just went in to use the restrooms!"

Ah, to be young again!
