I remember when my Mom went to her 30th LHS Reunion (Of course at that time, I thought she was old as dirt and why bother..lol) funny how life comes at you QUICKLY! Anyhow, when she got home that night, she couldn't stop talking about how much fun she had, and how great it was to see everyone. I'm relaying this to those who may be on the fence about attending. Life really is about friends, family, and spending time together. I'm trying to get my brother Brian, and cousin Sandy to attend. I sure look forward to seeing ya'll. Go 'Naughts and GO Gators!

On September 10th at 12:06 PM, my wife and I were blessed with a second grandchild.  The baby's name in Divinity Jade.  She was 8 lbs even and 20 1/2 inches long. Sammy, oru grandson is still not sure what to make of his little sister.

Cannot wait for the reunion!

I recently discovered that my passport had expired. A reminder to all, effective June 1, 2009, you will need a passport book or passport card to re-enter the US from Canada, Mexico, etc. Visit "travel.state.gov" for details. Bon voyage

To all of the class of 77 and their families, Have a Happy and safe 4th of July !!!!                                        Tracy

See you in Margaritaville -- I'm booked on the cruise and can't wait!

A cruise sounds wonderful but I will have to pass on this one.  We live in Oak Harbor, Washington where my hubby is still active duty Navy.  He is deployed to Afghanistan until April 2010.  We have a son that will be a senior in high school next year.  Washington is a long way away from the port of call and although I have a wonderful son, I do not want to leave him "home alone" while I am off crusing. LOL!

If old friends are good for the heart, Oct. should do us all good! Still in lakeland growing fat, old, and bald.

I can't seem to convince myself it has been 30 years. Most of you I knew from Southwest Junior High School like Tommy Cook, Wogie, Terri Carlton then knew you all at LHS. Time has flown by faster than I dared imagine. Some people say they would never like to go back in time but I'd be willing to give it a try. Anyone who wishes to write me I'd love to hear from you. I currently live in the Netherlands so I do not know if I can make the 30th anniversary but I'll definitely be there in spirit. I also noticed in the classmates section how so many of us have passed on. If I can't be there with all of you in October I'll light a candle for those who can't make it and also for those that can. I'm still a sentimental old fool, guess I always have been. All the best...Robert (bobby) Johnson

I spent more time leaving school than staying in it. But I'll be at the reunion.

Yes!  Yes!  Still want to cruise.
