How exciting to have a celebrity among us. Just saw David Lang on an airplane with Ellen Degeneres. Charades anyone???? Very cool David!!!!!!!!

I am looking forward to seeing everyone and making up for lost time. I can't believe we are this young or should I say we were this young. Suzanne and I are planning on attending the Friday and Saturday events.

Looking forward to seeing everyone.

I hope poeple will continue to post here. I noticed it has been several weeks since Tony's post. I had a great time seeing everyone, but barely scratched the surface with getting updates from most. I can't wait to get together for the post meeting in Jan?Happy Thanksgiving to you all, you're in my thoughts and prayers.

I vote yes on the cruise.

Hello all.

Happy Father's Day to all you dads out there!

Guess I had better set a new goal. No longer have time to loose 20 lbs before the Cruise so I had better try 10!!!!!!! Yall come now ya hear

You know we are all much too young to have been out of school '30' years! That's incredible. It will be good to see everyone.

Well, The big weekend starts in two weeks...I still havent lost my "baby" weight LOL (my youngest is now 31 ) Oh well just more of me to love... Cant wait to see everyone, and hear stories of everyone life...See everyone Friday Night.

Oh how things have changed over the past 30 yrs... I wasn't able to make it to my 20th year. I hope to see all my friends at this reunion, I know there will be a lot of laughs and some tears. My son is in college now, I can't seem to find where all this time has gone! Go Naughts!!! :)

Looking forward to seeing everyone. Scanned through all the messages here and saw lots of friends. Sad to see so many familiar names on the "In Memoriam" section, but we will raise a glass to them all. Thanks again to all those who have put so much time into getting a great program together.

I had such a great time! It was so nice to see everyone and to catch up with old friends. Many thanks to the those who spent untold hours planning that weekend :)

Wow!  I accidentally ran up on your website and began to browse and reminisce.  Perhaps it's me, but I don't remember y'all looking so old at Southwest Jr.Seems like you had a big ol' time - maybe I'll smuggle myself into one in the future.Be good.

Just booked a room in Gainesville for Tony\'s gig Sept. 10th -12th. Hope to see some folks there.

RIP Cindy Hochadel (Howell); passed away a week ago of cancer.

 Greetings from the past!  Hope to see some of my high school friends someday.  Sure brings back memories seeing your faces here.Lot\'s of secret crushes!:-)Steve

This web site is really cool. I think the head geek did a great job. Looking forward to seeing and hearing from "old" friends.

Looking forward to seeing some REALLY old friends. I missed our 20th, but I plan to attend this one. Please make an effort to come. Our 10th was wonderful! Hope to see you all there.

Hello from Pensacola. Just sitting at work and recalling my high school days so I decided to do a search for a reunion. The pictures are great. Can't wait to see everyone.

I'm glad my mom saw Amy when she needed some new glasses for my dad. She told me about the web site so I could find out when the reuion was and if I could make it.I look forward to seeing every one.We're only getting better not older.

I just listened to and read the lyrics to the 30th year reunion theme song. Pretty good stuff. Maybe Phoenix can go to www.rogercreager.com and go to his myspace and learn "Love" or "The Everclear Song" which may bring back memories for some. Not me of course! Roger is my favorite. CPA turned singer/songwriter/ performer extaordinaire!

Come Sail away.......    booked!  :)

I'm all set and ready to cruise.  See you there!!!

Didn't get a cabin number on my paper work.  Are there many flying in on the 22nd.  Leslie Murray Stamps and I are sharing a cab to the port I think.  Anyone else game?  Or as just a blanket question how is everyone getting to the port?  

Looking forward to coming down for the reunion, missed the other two due to my military commitments. Any VETs please get in touch... See you in a year.

I would like to say hi to all my friends at LHS. The years have sure flew by. Those were the good ole days. Hope all of you are well and hope to hear from my friends soon.

Excellent website! As I was browsing the photos of the Reunion Team meetings, my first thought was, "who are these OLD people???" It didn't take long for reality to set in, "THEY is US!" Since I was a Band Geek back in those days, I'll rummage around for some Band photos to post. In the meantime, having a Bombay Sapphire in our honor--cheers!

I just got home from watching my son graduate from LHS, Class of 77. I never thought that 30 years from when I walked on that stage and picked up my diploma, that I would be watching my son receive his diploma from my high school. What an experience. I felt both young and old at the same time. Go Dreadnaughts!

Great website!  I went to LHS my Sr. year - class of '76.  It is so good to see blogs about some of the people I knew back in the day.  I cheered with some committe members: Shawn Eady and Terri Jackman.  Friends with Mike Carter, Debbie Kippenberger Carter, Frank Puissegur, David Lang (I was just loking at an old picture of David picking me up in English class).  I mostly hung out with Debe Messenger.  Dated Neil Combee for a while.  Don't know if anyone would remember me since I was there only one year, but was excited to find the website and see your names.  Would love to hear from anyone! Although most of my friends were from '77 (obviously the most happening class!), wish I could find some '76 people, too, but it doesn't seem to exist! I get down to Florida every now and then and will check for reunion events now that I've found you.

Just called and made my cruise reservation. Time's a wastin'! Call and book now.

Any news on where the reunion is on July 21 yet? Would like to get a hotel close by if possible. Thanks in advance.

Hope life has been good to you all - looking forward to the reunion. Still here in lakeland after all these years - Whopee.

I've really enjoyed the website and looking at all the old (and new) pictures. Good work everybody!

Happy New Year to Everyone. We are fixing to put out the OFFICIAL LOST part of the website. If you should know of anyone that is still in Lakeland or the wereabouts of anyone, please email me at psugator22@swfla.rr.com. Then the major hunt is on to find all 750 of us. Like Doris said if you haven't been to a reunion meeting, come join us. Look at the Photo Album marked Reunion and see what fun we have. Looking forward to hearing from everyone and a Great XXX Reunion. Social Butterfly, Kathleen

Hey gang.   Leslie and I have been kinda brain stormin\'.  Found a 4 day Bahamas Cruise our of Port Canaveral (Orlando) on Sunday the 22.  I leaves at 4 PM and arrives back at 7 AM Thurday the 26th.  It is just a fun cruise by Carnival.  The starting is $373.00 for basic Cabins for two.  There are upgreades available on this one also.  Would be fun. Can we get an idea of those interseted. We could use the same Travel person we used on the 50th Birthday cruise if we get enough intersest and maybe get a group rate.
