IN APPRECIATION

As we all know, Tommy Clemons was our Class President in 1966, but he has remained the leader of our class for 50 years. After moving back to Texas from Alabama, Tommy was able to pick up the lifelong responsibility Bette Nolen told him as a student he would have as class president. It was after a call from Frank Bogard telling him of Larry Taylor’s passing from a heart attack that he decided we had to stay in touch and someone had to take control, so email address collections began in 2005. Tommy would be the 1st to say there have been many over the years who had a big influence and did so much work on all our past reunions, before the computer automations we have today.

Many have worked tirelessly, attending meetings, hand typing, manually copying, stuffing envelopes, creating data bases (Mary Jane) taking and finding pictures and creating videos (Fred B, Susie, & Ed), girls lunches & slumber parties (Roxy & Michele), golf for mostly guys (Jim & Dee), our music (James), on and on, keeping our class together and communicating.

Thanks to Reunion DB (Roxy, Ed & Susie), our web site (Marv) and now Facebook (Susie & Nancy), we are now and can be going forward, “better than ever.”

Without Tommy’s commitment and dedication to our class, our reunions would not be the example for the other classes to admire, but most importantly, keeping us connected as lifelong friends.

Our heartfelt thanks, Tommy, for keeping our class together and doing such a super job for 50 Years ! Tommy ROCKS
