CHS Class of 1969 40th Reunion

BEEN THERE...DONE THAT...GOT A T SHIRT!!!!! Oh my goodness...did anyone hear that the Class of '69 had a 40th reunion celebration this past weekend...well did we ever!! Rave reviews...so very happy that everyone had a terrific time. We only had one complaint...from Harlin Crayne...he didn't want to go home!

Thursday night the planning committee made a trip to Reelfoot Lake, and ate catfish and country ham at Boyett's...so much good food and great friends.

Friday afternoon, a large group of '69 classmates met at the Roundhouse, and ate, and basically brought the place down!!! Then we opened up the American Legion, and had some great conversation, and some excellent Karaoke from at least one member.

Saturday morning, nine ladies met at the Presbyterian Church, and had the most wonderful time chatting, and eating dee-licious treats!!!

The guys met at Pat Slentz's house, and were treated to hot dogs, and other goodies that Tina prepared.

Then Saturday night was upon us...after Wannie and friends decorated for two days, the place looked amazing...all of our classmates starting filing through the door, and hugs were in abundance...we had a group picture made, and then watched a video made by Tana Lonon ... a memorial to the classmates we have lost...she has placed that video on YouTube. Paul Carmean catered the meal, and it was so so good!!! Then for dessert Mary Jane Alexander Wagner made the most marvelous desserts!!!! Every ate and chatted with old friends, and at the 9 o'clock hour...other people starting arriving at the door...begging to come in...and the nice people we are we took their money and invited them in. Interstate 55 began playing and the evening was jumping and a hopping!!!

And to end the weekend...several of the class attended church services at the Presbyterian Church...they were so gracious to us, and we saw lots of old friends there. Tana and Don both sang special music, and when I say special that is exactly what I mean...absolutely a blessing to everyone in attendance.

What's that? You say you missed it...hmmm, I have to agree with you...YOU missed it!!!
