I sure do hate that I wasn't able to come.  It sounds as if everyone had a great time.  Please let me know when something else is in the works and I will make every effort to be there.  Would love to see pictures.

Nostalgia -  described as "sentimentality for the past, typically for a period or place with happy personal associations, people we care about, and places where we have spent time.  Music can also trigger a strong sense of nostalgia."  I think that just about sums it up.  Saturday was such a special time with such special friends.  Wonderful memories until we meet again!  Love you all and thanks for everyone's efforts to make it so great.  Debbie Haas Davis

Wanted to say what a very nice, nice, nice time I had seeing you all again.  My heart is full of memories and the realities of the Class of 68.  I'll always remember the reunion and think of you all often.  Many thanks to Bill and those who made it so nice for the rest of us. See you around, I moved back across the river last year.  Good to be home.  Peace and hugs, MIssy

Let me add my kudos to Bill, the committee, and the best graduating class of the best High School in the USA for a spectacular evening Saturday.  It was great to see everyone again.  You ain't changed a bit, despite the addition of wrinkles, pounds and greying (or that other thing that sometime happens to heads).

I had such a great time at the reunion reconnecting with so many of my HHS friends.   After looking at the pictures I realized I did not move around the room enough and sadly missed so many of my favorite people.  Please forgive me.  My loss for sure.  Sensory overload perhaps?  George Andrews, I know you took a lot of photos.  Hope you will post them also.  The committee did a fabulous job organizing this event.  Thank you so very much.  Thanks also to those who encouraged me to come.  After being gone from Richmond forever, it really makes a difference having someone email saying, "come on".  Thanks, Cindy Hyman Kloeti, for all the added bonuses of seeing friends plus a great place to stay.  We had an incredible class and I treasure the memories!  Thanks, Bill, for this website that makes the connections so easy!

Wow, What a class reunion.  Just over a week gone by and I wish it was still going on.  It was great to see all of my classmates.  Bill and the class reunion committee did an outstanding job.  They deserve a standing ovation.  Please, if there's anything I can do, let me know.

Sherry Lyford (Garcia)

Thanks for all the great pictures from the reunion. It certainly looks like everyone was enjoying themselves. Sorry I couldn't make the cross-country trip. It's been awhile, and hopefully won't be TOO much longer- maybe in 5 years!
Thanks for this website as well- nice to able to keep up, even from afar.

Info on missing classmate Stuart Pease:

His father  was Robert Balfour Pease Jr. who worked for Reynolds Metals. His grandfather was Robert Balfour Pease Sr. who owned a florist shop in Richmond.

The family moved to Savannah, GA in 1967. Stuart became an emancipated minor and had his own apartment in Richmond so he could stay and graduate with us.

Stuart went to Georgia Tech.

Stuart's brother Robert Balfour Pease III went to University of Georgia and married my sister Patti Stowell in the summer of 1970. They divorced one year later.

Hope this helps you find him before the next reunion. The 45th was great! Many thanks to everybody who worked on it!

Love ya,

Susan Stowell Bowmer

Re: missing classmates

Through the Virginia Tech Alumni Association, I have found a way to search the entire alumni directory and successfully found a listing for Betty Hetzer.  I used this web site to contact her via email. She is, or was, a teacher in the Fulton County School system in Alpharetta, Ga. as of 2010.

If any of the other missing classmates attended Tech, let me know and I'll run a search.

You are oh so right.  Those were the days.  Oh how I wish they could return. The only way they can return is by memories and us telling our stories of yore.

Ron Singleton

Wade,

Many thanks for posting pictures from this week's tour of Huguenot before the demolition.  The pictures bring back lots of memories of academic and PE classes, etc.  Sorry to see it go, but the old building has served its purpose.

Wade,

I appreciate you posting the pictures of the tour of HHS.  I'm glad so many classmates were able to be there.  It added a lot to the pictures.  So many memories!!!  Hate to see it go, but after all, it is 50 years old now!  Thanks again.

The pics of HHS are wonderful . They probly will make it to National Geographic . ( Because of the living proof that dianasaurs still roam the earth) .Again 

I drove by HHS Sat morning while I was in Richmond . Is the new building between Thompson & HHS a New HHS ?

Best Vern 

Wade Johnson

Vern,

Yes, that's my understanding. 

To all:

Thx for the thx.  Glad to do it.

Thanks for posting these pictures. What a walk down memory lane! I'm in California and can't get there to see Huguenot HS in person. No one in my family lives in Virginia anymore, so its doubtful I will ever return. Thanks so much.

My pleasure.

Wade,

I really appreciate the time you spent to take and post the "last pictures of HHS."  Even though I have moved far away and haven't had a chance to be back in Virginia since 1971, the memories of those years and our fabulous class are never far away.  What a special group and time.

Wishing all the class of '68 a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.

Bill Packard, our art teacher back in the day, has passed on. But I met his son, named oddly enough, Bill Packard, while getting a massage at the Midlothian YMCA. He also works out of the Midlothian Athletic Center and at Bardos Message and Wellness in the west end. He is a fantastic therapist and has helped me and my husband with a lot of chronic problems that are either a lot better, or no longer exist. You can contact him by email as well - mttables@gmail.com

Many thanks to Wayne Coleman for the info on filing with Social Security, and waiting until 70.  I turn 66 next summer and had planned to file and suspend, but Congress recently messed up those plans.  The file and restrict looks like a good option.  I've been following the discussion in the WSJ, so the recommendations make sense.  Thanks again for sharing.  Ron
