On 10 October 2020 my wife and I are moving to Scotland

Hello all class of '77 classmates! I have a new album available - www.gatorstrat.com  anything u can do to promote or share please do! thanks Tony

After living in Scotland we moved to Belgium and now living in the Netherlands again. Wish I could attend the 45th reunion but financially it's simply not possible and I can't drive a car anymore. Thinking of you all fondly. 

The Atlanta contingent of LHS had a wonderful reunion on 8/28/11...I guess it was our 34th....

Terri Lee Gregg, Class of '77

I hope everyone had a great Thanskgiving and an equally wonderful holiday season to come

Hi class of '77.  After a not so friendly divorce in 1993, I was unable to locate any of my high school yearbooks.  I graduated in 1979.  My brothers graduated in '76 & '77. 

Please send me information in reference to upcoming class reunion information.

HappyThanksgiving to all my Dreadnaught friends.  WE are blessed.

Thanks to all tonight for such a wnderful party.  It was so much fun....Those of you who missed it really missed it again.  Happy New Year. Special thanks to Beth for hosting. Such a beautiful home.

What a great time!!!  Even my husband who didn't know anyone when we got there had a great time and enjoyed getting to know everyone.  Thanks to the team who got it all together for us.  Thanks to Beth Huntzinger for holding our table on the boat so we could all hang together.  Also thanks to John Morgan for making the Sunday night Quest game the most memorable and fun time of the cruise. (Hopefully he'll let us post some of those pictures.)   I can't wait to go again and I hope more of you dreadnaughts will sign and sail on the next cruise.

I graduated 30 yrs ago??? Man, I'm old!! But so are you guys!!! :-)

This web site is amazing! Thanks to all who are working on this and the reunion. I can't wait to see everyone in October. It sure will be hard for us to recognize each other, though!

Thanks for the wonderful reunion guys and gals! Really enjoyed the camaraderie. But after looking through the pics I realized that I didn't get a chance visit with a lot of old friends! Never seems to be enough time these days. And thanks for letting us Phoenix boys (and Suki too!) play some rock 'n roll Friday night, it was an honor and a lot of fun. Maybe I should've kept some of those "adult" diapers that the girls were throwing around - might need 'em at the next reunion! Wheeeeeeeeeeeee!!!!!!

Hello all.  Still in Germany, hoping to move back to Florida this year (2022).  Might even be back before the 45th reunion.  See you soon.

Am I the first one in our class to have hip replacement surgery?

Unbelievable......we WILL do this again.  All who passed it up will want to come for sure.  Wait till you see the photos.   It could be an annual event if we have enough.  Out of 741 Classmates surely we can get bigger every year.  Thanks goes out to Nancy Cyphert, Kathleen Dozier and Shawn Eady (oops forgot married name) for all your hard work and making this a great time for us all.  Keep those pictures coming.  The "sailing" Dreadnaughts rock.  We have a permanent place on the bar in a little beach bar in Cozumel  thanks to Mary Richards.  All will know we were there!!

I am still living in Europe with my wife Betty. My best wishes to the LHS class of 1977. 

I moved away after the 10th grade,but left behind many friends and many great memories of Lakeland.Hope everyone has a blast at the reunion.Shawn what an excellent job on the web site.

David Partin and I plan on breakin' out of Raiford in time to make the reunion. Hey Jodi, I still have the blue jeans that you embroidered for me (unfortunately I can't fit in 'em anymore:( Looking forward to seeing everyone... and Go Gators!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Well, by the grace of God, I managed to stay out of the "Big House", Glad Tony and Dave made it out. Life is nothing less than a roller coaster! So was 1977! It is true that friends are friends forever... When I bump into one of the gang it is like we never left off... I have been in Florida all this time doing business and living life, I can't wait to reconnect. "Back in the day", we lived like no one else. Special thanks to the team that has kept this going, God Bless you! Gary

Hey everyone.  Hope you are having a great year so far.  I hope all of you are planning on attending our 40th HS Reunion.  A lot of great people have put in a lor of great planning.  I personally think it is going to be the best one ever.  Please take a moment to buy your tickets and book your room.  If you are not attending would you consider making donation through the donation tab on the left to help us with all the expenses and to help your fellow classmates attending have the best available and a really good time.   Hope to see you all John

Wishing everyone a Very Happy Thanksgiving!!!!

This website is a great idea! It's hard to believe we were all so young once upon a time. Believe it or not, I will be a grandmother this May. How is that possible?!?!?

Happy early 4th everyone!!! Please keep our troops in your thoughts and prayers.

Regarding the 2012 reunion, a cruise sounds great since many of us who went on the last one had a very fun time.  However, there are LHS classmates who don\'t like to go on cruises or can\'t go on one due to timing, financial or family issues.  Having only one day in Lakeland as part of the reunion prior to a cruise doesn\'t seem to be fair to the classmates traveling far to get to the reunion, and many may then choose not to attend.  A suggestion is that we have a 2 day reunion in Lakeland, and not do the 3rd family day -- instead, those wanting to go on a cruise could head for the boat that 3rd day.

I too would like to thank all of the committee members for all their hard work so that we could have such a wonderful time. Shawn I would again like to thank you for helping my friend Debby Gammon Elliot be able to come! It was great spending some quality time with her and her family. I all for a wrap up party also, let me know if I can help! Thanks again. Debby

Re: July 21, 2012 reunion date.  As long as it\'s inside, that\'s why we moved it to October, which is still too hot.

7/21/12 works for me....where are we going?  :)thought I heard an idea of doing a beach week-end in Daytona!...

Hey from Orlando. I am looking forward to a fun time at the reunion. It's amazing how fast the years have gone by.

We are both class of 77 graduates, we will be cruising.

how true that old saying....you can fool some of the people.....life is so funny...Shawn and I were classmates beginning in 1964 and continuing until graduation 1977 and we are still kicking it up around here 43 years later....for music lovers (like me) who do not know, you can go to www.pandora.com and create you own FREE radio station...don't ask me how or why...it is easy and free. You type in an artist and it will continuosly play that artist and similar sounding artist. Try Radney Foster..Randy Rogers Band....Roger Creager....there is always something new there. I learn these things from children. ENJOY!!

does anyone know what happen to Dallas Booker ?

Couldnt make it for the 30th due to Fathers health...but looking forward to this 35th....see you all then...shouls be great fun....

Neil Combee is absolutely right about all the wonderful things happening in the Lakeland area, and our classmates who are making it happen. You might not know that Neil has done more than his share of the heavy lifting, as a very popular Polk County Commissioner from 1988 to 2004. He is now vice-chairman of the Governing Board for the Southwest Florida Water Management District ("swift mud"). After Neil retired from the County Commission, a major government building at 330 West Church Street in Bartow was renamed the "Neil Combee Administration Building" in his honor. Thanks for all the great work, Neil!

I have always been a fool about music. It really cuts into my productivity. I am always searching for something new although I continue to listen to the old stuff. For me, most of the good stuff these days comes from artists who are well known in Texas but often unheard of outside of the Lone Star state. Radney Foster, who happens to be our age, is one of the best poet/songwriter/singer/producer. He sings about love, life, God and everyday situations we all face..it's that chicken soup for the soul stuff...Half of my mistakes, I'd give anything to change how it ended. Half of my mistakes, God I wouldn't change a thing. You can lean to hard on regret, but I don't recommend it...Cause half the good things in my life came from half my mistakes...Yeah, a lot of good things in my life came from half my mistakes.

Can we add  a 16 to the font size now? Hope everyone's doing great!

Hello Everyone.my wife and i have been living in new jersey for the past 20yrs.We will retire back to fl in the next few yrs.

I plan to win the contest for who has gained the most weight and lost the most hair. Take me off the lost list. Im in Lakeland and haven't moved in 20 years.

WOW only 97 days left to loose the weight I promised I would starting in January :-( Thank God for Adkins! At least I still have all my hair! Looking forward to a great time. Living in Atlanta for 14 years now. Before that Dallas; before that Fort Lauderdale. Thanks Don and David for the mail. Just turned 48 on May 29th Happy Belated Birthday Lee Burrows and Teresa Posey and all those on the 28th and 30th we use to celebrate. Band, Latin Club, and Mrs Hershfield's classes ....man I miss them all. Love, John

Did I read 30 year reunion? My how time flies when you are having fun and in the prime of your life. Kids are grown and now it's time for me and the hubby ( of 26 years) to have some fun, *wink *wink. Hope to make it to the reunion !!!! Hope to hear from old friends via email as well. Karen

Hey yall.  Merry Christmas.  Got in at 9 pm Sunday night in Lakeland but did not check the website till now. Hope everyone had a good time at Molly's. Call me if in town 404-664-6457.   Be here till Wednesday. Hope to make the wrap up party in February.  Thanks to all who are planning that.  Tracy need to get our gang together in Atlanta.John

Thanks to all that have done such a GREAT job on putting the reunion and website together. Looking forward to seeing everyone, esp. the band people. Tracy

For those who have been living away from Lakeland for some time, I will tell you that things look pretty good around here. Lakeland earned the "All America City" designation several years ago. Recently, Polk County was named "All America County" by a distinguished national panel. Lakeland has become, especially the Downtown area, one of the most attractive Cities in all of Florida. There are many of our classmates who have worked for Lakeland and Polk County and who have contributed significantly to the success this area has enjoyed. Great Job Yawl!

Hello everyone,my wife and I have been living in  New Jersey since 2000. Hope everyone is doing well.RIP to those we lost way to soon.

Merry Christmas to ALL my fellow classmates.  I hope you and yours' have an awesome holiday season. Love to you all, Diane Penn Jordan

Is there a cruise leaving out of Tampa or Cape Canaveral on Sunday, rather than Monday, of the 2012 reunion weekend?  For those wanting to cruise after the main reunion, especially coming from out of town, it would be nice not to have to spend 3 full nights in a Lakeland hotel before heading to the cruise ship.  Just a thought ...

Hoping to attend Friday night...would really love to see everyone!

Wishing all my fellow classmates and their families a Very Merry Christmas and Safe, Joyous New Year!!! Please remember our troops and pray they all return home safe, very soon!!!                                                                Hugs,                                                                         Tracy

Dale, guess what...compared to today we were hippies, sort of. My daughter has plenty to say about the hairstyles and "costuming" at least. Thank goodness we don't have pictures of all the outfits - the gauchos were bad enough. Looking forward to seeing everyone and dredging up all the past stuff I can't remember any more! Floozys forever.
