It's been a couple months since I last posted here and it's time to get back on it. Beverly sent me several CD's of pictures, but unfortunately, all but one were unlabeled. No owner or "sent by" at all, so I'll be posting the pictures here without attribution. Feel free to own up to them in the comments.

Reports are coming in from many folks with compliments on the successful reunion this past weekend. Huge thanks go out to Beverly Fuller Slaughter and her cohorts on the reunion committee.

Several people expressed interest in keeping the website going, so I'll be doing that. We'll remove some things, like directions to the reunion and all that and then make it a place for photos from the weekend. If we continue to get traffic and interest, we can leave it running indefinitely. No need to pay classmates.com a dime, we can do it here.

A note from Beverly:

Hello Classmates!

WOW!! What a weekend! For those of you that attended, THANK YOU! YOU are the reason the committee worked so hard to put this weekend together. I did not see anyone NOT having a good time! For those of you who could not attend all I can say is WOW you missed a weekend to be talked about for months!

We will have a 25 year reunion so keep us updated on email, address or phone numbers.

Once again the weekend was a huge success!!! Thanks for attending!

The Committee is very excited about the 20 Year Reunion! We have been working so hard to make this a memorable weekend for the whole class. Yolanda Malone called a meeting while she was in Lufkin visiting family June 2005. What a surprise that was! Already time for the "Remix of 86." WOW! Time flies!

Do you remember "The Prep?" The Cabbage Patch?" Seeing the Panther Pride prancing around in their white Keds sneakers? Or those twirlers in those black, sparkly bodysuits on Friday nights? This little mini-reunion between Yolanda, myself, Nancy Holmes Ramsey, Buddy Timme and Troy Tiemann was a walk down memory lane and we set the groundwork for a grand reunion!

With all the excitement the committee expanded in December 2005 to Kim Seay Childress, Adrienne Thomas Collins, Dana Cooper, Michael Douglas, Laura Hobbs Gates, Yolanda Malone, Evelyn Malone, Melissa Mason, Rae-Leane Fulford Pogue, Nancy Holmes Ramsey, Beth Rushing, Beverly Fuller Slaughter, Angela Hobbs Spencer, Troy Teimann, Buddy Timme, Colleen Howard, and Sandra McFarland White. Richard Morgan happened along in the Spring and put up the website. Everyone is scattered across the US but with email we have been in the party-planning mode for months!

We all have worked very hard to plan this so we all have a great time with as little work for the committee members as possible. WE want to have a great time as well! This reunion is a lot of work but we have enjoyed every moment of it.

On behalf of the committee we cannot wait to see YOU! We are just a few weeks away from strolling down memory lane as the Lufkin High School Class of 1986 hosts its 20-Year Reunion. If you have not made plans and registered, there's still time. Even if high school was not your thing, come on, you will have a BLAST!
