Bill Easley (with wife Sherry) can't believe Nancy (Auten) and Richard Hope have photos of their llamas but not of their grandchildren! That's Monk Currence and Richard and Orma Jean (Melton) Whitener on the right. |
Kay (John) Robinson, back to camera, Talking at and with Michelle (Frank) Roberts. Nancy and Richard Hope are in the background. Discussing old football injuries are Moose (Linda Brindle) Cranford and Bill Dawson with John Robinson. |
Barbara Hutchinson Vipperman hasn't seen Michael Collins in 40 years! Hardly anyone else has either! |

Barbara Hutchins is stunned to see all these old people, some of whom appear to be alive. That's Jan Antoniewicz, Mary Etta Kaylor's husband, and Nancy Auten Hope in the background |

Mary Etta greets Mary Joyce Harper Wright and tells her she is bound to win the big footrace...since Patsy Cook is in Italy. |
That's Betty Barrett Bell - all smiles! Eddie Cagle (left) just gave her a big Eddie Hug. Her husband, Dave Bell, reacts (right). |
Bennett Tarleton and Linda Brindle Cranford caught in an uncharacteristic moment -- both have their mouths closed! Linda had her first grand- daughter on Oct. 2. Bennett is still working on being the Father of the Bride. |

Diane Limerick Treadway cannot believe how old some classmates look. She wore her bifocals to make the rest of us feel good and demonstrated how they are most effectively used. |
Moose (Linda Brindle) Cranford and Michelle (Frank) Roberts. That's Frankie (Vicky Seigler) Knox in the background. |
Bill Dawson, Frankie Knox, Eddie Cagle, Monk Currence, Moose Cranford, Pat (Monk) Currence - These guys can't even identify THEMSELVES in the 1961 Bearcat. |

| Diane (Limerick) and Darryl Treadway, Frankie and Vicky Siegler Knox -- Diane and Darryl were "sweethearts" at RHHS; Frankie wanted to be Vicky's sweetheart back then, but her father required her to be home by 11 PM. Frankie was a night owl, so they had to wait (until her father was asleep). | Vicky Siegler Knox and Richard Hope -- They did not go steady and were not sweethearts at any time or any place. Actually, they met for the first time at OD in '03. |
Michael Collins and Mary Joyce Harper Wright - They "went steady" for about 15 minutes in the 7th grade at Central. |

| Vicky Siegler Knox and Richard Hope -- They did not go steady and were not sweethearts at any time or any place. Actually, they met for the first time at OD in '03. | Lola McDermott Jones and Can-You-ID-This -Person??? Crown designated wearer's elementary school. Lola evidently didn't attend one. That's Michael Collins between them. |
Long Live the King of The Garnet and Black, Johnny Shillinglaw. |
