HAPPY THANKSGIVING

Irving Brittle

Hello Bill and Class,

I just wanted to let you know I have a birthday on Nov. 29th, one day after Jerry Allen's.  I always remember his birthday.

I just wanted to thank Bill for missing my birthday for the past 55 years.  Hummph!!!

Sincerely,

Sonny Brittle

Happy Thanksgiving from Florida.

Sandy Edens

HAPPY THANKSGIVING all!  Diane and I wish all my Huguenot buds a wonderful Thanksgiving and prosperous holidays.  As we approach "those years" it is wonderful to think back on the '60's and reflect on our days together.  We are in Colorado and have been for years however friends and family pull us back to the East so we are now considering a big move.  When that happens we will be able to be much more active with classmates and reunions.

Stay well, enjoy life, be wise, and always remember friends and family!

Sandy

Betty Hetzer (Pippin)

Happy Belated Birthday Bruce!  I really enjoyed reunited with you @ HHS 55 year reunion.  Enjoy your day and Year!

Hi all.  Our Neil Diamond musical A Beautiful Noise began its National Tour this Fall.  I'll never forget opening night in NYC. People were literally dancing in the aisles.

The audience reaction at the Tony Awards is a glimpse of what watching the show is like:https://vimeo.com/836632336

A Beautiful Noise will be in Richmond mid April 2025.  For all tour cities and dates check out https://abeautifulnoisethemusical.com/tour/

Thank you Kay, and rest in peace Frank.  Thabnk you for bringing us together to celebrate a wonderful guy and to make us realize how valuable life and friendships are.  You have done that for our Class of '68 for all of those many 57 years and today we were able to toast to a life well lived in a loving family surrounded by friends.  Life is too short so we must live and love and appreciate all that we have and those friends we have been blessed by.

I was cleaning out some space in the attic and came across this class photo that had been forgotten and was in pretty rough shape.

  I carefully unrolled it, trimmed the edges a little to make them smooth, the tried to scan it.  No good.  It was too wrinkiled to feed.  So I got some heavy books and placed them on top and let them sit there for about a week.  This morning, I was able to get it through the scanner and then use ChatGPT to restore the image. I think it came out pretty good.

Bill, maybe you could move the pioture somewhere on the site so it can be viewed at a larger size.

Hi Bill and Wade,

Thanks for posting the class picture.  That is a pretty good image based on the original picture.  I think the copies we got were photographically developed pictures, not screen printed from a dot matrix. I do not know I if still have mine.

Here are a few things I remember about this picture when it was taken.

• I am pretty sure we were in a set of bleachers on the grass area at the school bus loading/unloading area.  We were facing the building and the parking lot behind us was pretty well hidden.
• The bleachers were actually formed in a partial circle.
• They used a special "panning" camera that was set near the center of the circle.  The camera slowly rotated from the left end of the bleachers to the right to expose the film to the full "width" of the class.  This made the picture look "flat".
• The funny part I remember is that there was one classmate (not me and I cannot remember who) who thought they could get in the picture "twice" by standing at the far left end and then run around behind the class and get into the picture at the right end.  I don't think they made it.  I remember that I could see a small blur at the right end on the copy I had.
