Hi.
The Class of '69 has "too much soul"
Walking into Dr
Rockit’s and being warmly greeted by my classmates, reminded me of words in
the “Cheers” theme
song…
“Sometimes you want to go
Where everybody knows your name,
and they're always glad you came”.
It
was great!
The 69
Thank you to all of
those spouses and friends for enduring while the Graduates of 69 laughed and
talked till we were hoarse…at least I was.

Dear Class of 69 and friends,
On both Friday and Saturday nights of the reunion, I took a few minutes to sit
back and observe. What I saw was a room full of happy, smiling, pushing 60 years
of age adults sharing memories of their youth. Maybe it was an 8th grade crush,
the fastest car, a high school prank, a broken heart, a best friend in
elementary school, or a classmate who is gone. We all shared a special moment
and memory with many who touched our lives in childhood.
We have come a long way my friends. We have married, divorced, buried, raised
our children, bragged on our grandchildren, cried for those we have lost. This
past weekend brought us all new friends, smiles and memories. I pray we can
continue to share these for many years to come.
If you missed the reunion, you were truly missed.
I thank you all for the love, support, laughter and blessings you brought into
my life this weekend. My only regret is that there was not enough time to visit
with each and every one of you.
I pray you all arrived home safely. Please keep in touch with me and each other.
Blessings,
Linda Higgins Granberry
"Thank You" to everyone that contributed their time, energy and love for "The Class of '69's 40th Reunion - Event". It was indeed a grand event for me to have shared it with my sisters, who are my best friends. The siblings participation for me, was very touching and special. I loved sharing the evening with Everyone, as the spirit of friendship and love for one another was very apparent. It was great fun, and again...thanks to the "Planning Team" that made it happen. You all did a fantastic job! The web site has brought so much joy and has provided a place to share our common ground. Thank you!
Very warmly, LaRue Hodgens Saenz "69

"I had to send a picture of Daddy. Thanks again so much for the tribute
to him. He loved Carroll and continued to attend all home football, basketball,
and baseball games up until he died. He also went to all the Booster Club
meetings."
Thanks, Susan

To
my classmates,
Thanks to all who worked so hard to make our 40th so special.
I left Carroll "running" and I'm sorry I took 40 years to look
back.
I've had a life filled with memorable experiences, but the reunion
will be one of the best.
It reminded me of all the pranks, laughs and tears we shared as kids. I only
wish all those that have passed could have been there.
It was worth much more than the 4 day, $1000.00 and 2408.7 mile trip on the
Harley to see you all again.
By the way, does anybody know who Gary Dycus is, and why does everybody want to
be him?
Hope to meet again before the next 5 years.
"Just Plain Butch" Price
