So glad you came to visit!

Hi!

It's so nice that you came to see our blog ... keep checking back for more photos, information and fun facts about our class.

Sadly, we lost a member of our class last week, Susie Dale Redmon. She left behind a loving family. A friend who left condolences on the Bradenton Herald website said that Susie was the most kind and giving person she had ever known. What a special remembrance for Susie and her family. She will be missed.

Please contact us for more information or suggestions regarding our upcoming reunion. We would really love to see you, and catch up with you on the forty (I can't believe it) years that have gone by since we graduated. We're all busy, and we know that your time is valuable ... but don't you remember things like the food at the cafeteria, the open halls (and entire campus) and no air conditioning? Your bus driver if you rode the bus?

Those are all good memories, and we have a lot more to share.

Our area has changed a bit, if you've moved away and haven't visited for a while. If someone had told me that there would be an Off Fifth (Saks Fifth Avenue Outlet) in the Ellenton outlet mall, I would have said they were pure whackadoodle crazy! And a Nike outlet? We wore Keds, remember?
And a new Publix right on Eighth Avenue in Palmetto ... whoopie! And a big new high-rise development where the dolomite pit was (at least I think that's what it was ... someone please correct me if I'm wrong!) on Hwy 301 on the River across from Manatee Memorial Hospital?

PHS Class of 1969 ... 40th Reunion ... October 2009! See you there!
