My picture never appeared in the 1977 yearbook (and I never knew why) but I graduated in the 1977 class of LHS. I am currently living in the Netherlands and have lived here for almost 10 years now. I work for a software/hardware company.

It will be fun trying to guess who everyone is after 30 years.

Great website - great job Shawn! Thanks to Scott for letting me know - I always knew he could spread it around. I can't believe we've gotten this fancy. I'll be there from Savannah to see all my ex-con friends, etc.

Shawn Boss Geek: Thank u so much for getting the concert info up! Hope to see everyone there! Should be a blast and a great excuse to party in G\'ville! If some folks can\'t make it here in Sept there is a possibilty that we\'ll do a show in Lakeland at the Polk Theatre around Feb 2011

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.

I am no longer in the Lost and Found. Hope to visit with those of you whom I have not had the opportunity of seeing in Oh sooo long. Can't wait to see you all.

Thanks for sending an invitation to my parents home. I just heard about the Reunion last week. The last reunion I knew about was our 10th which was a lot of fun. We live in Ocala, FL now after years of traveling around the states and overseas to Japan. Can't wait to see everyone.

Hello everyone.  Happy to report a Tommy Anderson sighting.  We took the 4 girls plus 2 friends to Amelia Island for vacation this week and found Tommy living the high life on Amelia Island.Tommy and his family are doing great and even though he is a just a little more serious,  Tommy is the same old Tommy.  I told him he needs to come here and get caught up with everyone.

Hi everybody. Wish you all the best. Did anyone else see the holiday safety video on delta Airlines?  David Lang is the guy doing the safety presentation.  I flew a lot so saw it many times and always told whoever I was sitting by that "I went to school with that guy!"   Too funny.  We know a celebrity!

Hoorah.  Anchors Away my boys!!!!!!  We need T-shirts that say something like "finally the Dreadnaughts set sail"!!!!!  The art could be a Dreadnaught ship sailing away with a "red devil" being thrown off by the wake of the ship! My Birthday is May 29th.  I was going to New Orleans but had to stop by the hospital.  I am going to Scotland to celebrate May 22.  Happy Spring.

I'm sailing!

I have had the best time going to our class reunion website. I am so impressed by the people in our class...well, basically, I think we have a lot of "class!" Just as I was thinking this, my 6th grade daughter said, "Mom, nobody cares about your hippy classmates..." WHAT??? I informed her that my big brother's class had the hippies. We were NOT the hippies. However, I do love the traits that seem to be true of our LHS class: carefree, genuine, outdoorsy, and we knew how to communicate BEFORE cell phones or computers. Just imagine that! Can't wait to see old friends and make new ones in a few weeks.

I have missed all the other reunions and hope to get to the 30th. I've had a good 30 yrs and hope you all have too! After this one I hope I don't wait another 30 yrs for another reunion!

Anyone remember "The Abbey?" Well - I've just opened up a restaurant and Night Club (on Friday & Saturday nights)called "Sassy's". Or as we lovingly referr to it as The Abbey's gone Sassy.... We would like to invite everyone out Friday Night after the party at the Magnolia Building to an AFTER PARTY at Sassy's. The band plays until 1:30! Special Drink prices for all LHS Alumni and no cover charge. Kevin and I are looking forward to seeing everyone again.

October is almost here, can't wait.

when we get old we'll still talk about the good times. fat and sassy spreading rumors through the grapevine. with any luck we'll still be up to our old ways. I continue to try and get people to log in....we are running out of time.Call people and ecourage the to at least log in and let us all know how they are doing. I put a photo of the Ranch on the "now" pictures....my wife designed....it took her two years....my dear friend and our classmate Jodie Rodda acted as the general contractor....Jodie has built half of Lakeland in the past 30 years...and my boys did a tremendous amount the work...wood work, stone walls and antique brick porches and sidewalks. For folks who have been living away from Lakeland, Ellen Sly is now one of Polk's Circuit Judges. Quite an accomplishment for a Crystal Lake girl! The odds were stacked against her...but she made it! I cried like a baby at her investiture ceremony. Dennis Ross has been, for some time now, one of the best legislators in State Government. He has focused on things that matter the most...family, quality of life and cost of living....and he was one of us!Wogie and his family have taken Badcock to new heights and remain one of the premier employers in Florida. Many of our classmates have contributed significantly to the unbelievable success of Publix which sets a new record everyday. The LHS Class of 1977 has a lot to be proud of. We all helped shape each other. My life and the good fortune I have had in large part are a direct result of the friendships and my LHS experience.

Can you believe it we sail tommorrow.  I will also put on facebook but meet at the pool deck and look for Shawn "Boss Geek" and Kathleen "Social Butterfly".  LOOK FOR THE "L" Hat. Can't wait - see you on board.

Yes John we all have 8:30 Dinner Time :)

Hi All. Yes, it is really hard to believe that it has been 30 yrs. since graduating. I have never been to a reunion, but I am planning on going to the 30 yr. one. I hope someone will let me know when. Thanks.

Well, I can't believe it-- I am not the only person from LHS class of '77 that does not look one bit older or heavier. And while I'm telling lies- I have spent the last 30 years in the lap of luxury and have done many amazingly important things ! (I'm hoping that no one remembers me so I can spread it on thick at the reunion)

Happy Thanksgiving and great long weekend.  To everyone !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Happy Thanksgiving to everyone. Please take care and keep in touch.                                    Tracy

As most of you know, Mr. Miller had records made of the band performances 1975-1977.  I have the records and have converted them to MP3 files.  If you would like a copy, email me at: debbyelliott100@gmail.com I am selling the CDs to recoup my costs.  They are $10 for one and $15 for both.  Let me know if you are interested in having this bit of memorabilia.  Also, check out the band site on facebook.  It was started by John Morgan and it is a fun place to reminisce.    

Just completed booking. Brian and I will be sailing! Can't Wait.  c'mon you slackers....get signed up and lets enjoy our 50th! Lang...you better be there

Hi to the LHS class of 1977! Hope you all have a great time at the reunion. Reunion team you have done a great job! Also, please take me off the "lost" list.

Isn't this a great web site! What a laugh! Cannot wait to see you!

Looking forward to seeing everybody Friday night. Can't wait to hear the band!!

 Hi All,Not sure if anyone remembers me but I went to Southwest Junior High then 1 year at Lakeland Senior High. I would have grduated with you in 77 but because of my dad\'s job we had to move. I spent 2 years in Nevada and my graduating year was in San Diego. Because I did not have enough credits to graduate I had to go to summer school. I have always felt that Lakeland was my home school.  I so remember alot of you here. Some friends that are still in my memory are Lori Veale, Diane Penn and Skip Scisim..I stiill have my yearbook. I would love to be added to any upcoming reunions. it would be a blast from the past for me.

Hi Everyone. I last signed the guest book about a year and a half ago. My family and I are doing fine. After LHS graduation I spent 20 years in the USAF and retired. Living in the Netherlands since that time and doing well. I have a home here not far from my stepchildren. They have children of their own and live goes on. Don't know if I can make the 40th anniversary reunion but I'll try. Wishing everyone well and love you all

Just spoke with Erica at Terrace Hotel in Lakeland, she is setting up a block of rooms for LHS 1977 at $99/night. Just booked my room.

Hey Thanks to Scott Schiltz, he gave me the hook-up with a bunch of you guy's on Facebook. The cruise looked great!!  Watch out for viruses on FB, I am using a none admin log-on.  Hope to see all you peeps around. GP

Hello everyone...

Is everybody thinking the same thing I am, thoughts of diets and nipping/tucking and a bit of lipo here and there?

Hello All my LHS Buds and Budettes, Hope all are well.  Listen.. I just started a Facebook Page, it is aswesom, keep up with my kids--they think it is very cool.  Keep up instantly with family and friends.  We all loose touch and it is difficult to stay in touch.  I reccomend it!!  We could all see what is going on with each other, keep in contact and it is easy.  Just Do It. Peace and Love to everyone!

Well I just checked in on-line for the cruise.  I am in cabin 8639.  It is labeled "large interior stateroom" and I am hoping that is  correct.  I think we registered late and are not on the same deck as everyone else.  I am hoping we all have the 8:30 pm dinner seating time.  It is only three days away and starting to get excited.  

Wishing all my classmates and their families a very Merry Christmas, Happy Hanukah and a  very Happy New Year!!!! Please take care everyone and keep in touch.                                                             Tracy

Is anyone (and his/her spouse) interested in playing some mixed doubles tennis Saturday morning of the reunion while others are playing golf? My husband and I play at a USTA 3.5 to 4.0 level ("A" level in Atlanta ALTA, for any of you familiar with the Atlanta tennis association). We can schedule a match if we can use the city courts.

Is anyone interested in playing mixed doubles tennis with Jansen (my husband) and me during the July 2012 reunion weekend in Lakeland?

Can't wait to meet old friends and make new ones !
