Kat's Update
September '03

It's been a while, and I thought I would get this done before school started, but time slipped away back in July and school began! I have kept a few notes, so here goes!

Back in the spring Jay Mercer found Linda Moats/Heibron, '66, and Scott Byers, Class of '65. We all would like to hear from you out there! Their email addresses are as follows:

Linda - lheilbro@waldenu.edu (Sounds like a teacher to me!)
Scott - carolbyers89@msn.com

Linda is also on Classmates.com. You all write when you can. We seem to find more classmates the harder we look!

I found out that Robbie Wynens/Heintzman has a friend here in Martinez, Ga., that is teaching in Columbia County, too. Small world out there! Of course, this County only has thirteen elementary schools! Maybe someday I'll bump into her. Thanks for letting me know, Robbie.

I received a note from Doug Lunsford back in January. Just wondering if you finished that PhD yet? Teaching again this year, Doug? I think I need to be in that class on Abnormal Psychology. I have a few of those little critters in my fifth grade class!

I have heard from Beverly Sheffield. She sent a picture of dear 'ole Isabel and they weathered that storm. She said the neighbors generator was keeping her awake at night and ear plug don't help evidently! Sure hope you all are back in your home and with electricity by now. It's always good to hear from you! Picture attached.

Back during the summer, Connie, one of my teaching friends, and I ventured to Memphis to visit Graceland. We roamed Mud Island barefoot, took in "Grease" and ended up out at the Aldridge's for dinner one evening. It was great to meet Dave's wife, Chris. She fixed such a great meal for us. Yes, we did get out those annuals and talk the evening away like it was yesterday we were all in London! And of course, Schamus, the Springer Spaniel, was the highlight of the evening, posing for the camera! A couple of pictures are attached.

Now for Reunion News:

There is going to be a gathering on Las Vegas in 2004. Twila Pritchard Brand sent out an email to the classes of '72-'81 and to the class reps. If you're interested, let me know and I'll send her name or you may contact her directly: ma-brand@msn.com

Another reunion is in the making in San Antonio. When I sent out the email back at the first of the summer, I only heard from one or two. If you're interested let me know.

Ron Crowe has sent out an email for a Reunion in New Orleans in May, 2004.
The two dates is his email are:

Friday, May 14 - Sunday, May 16 OR
Friday, May 21 - Sunday, May 23

He's needing a decision on a date first. Several people from the Class of '64 suggested this reunion be opened up to 1964-1966 people since we were all so close. They're calling it "The Bayou Bobcat Bash." Email Ron or me your choice as soon as possible. I know it's early, but it does take some time and organization to pull off a great reunion! We had a terrific time in London. Check it out:

Other new email addresses are:

Hamish Osborne has a new email address - hsosborne@hotmail.com
Kathy Brown has a new email address - HappyKat@carolina.rr.com

I was looking at the new website for London Central. org. J Mercer and the crew of people who have worked on it have done an incredible job. It really looks nice, J, and the pictures are much clearer than before.

Remembering days of a past reunion...I met up with Dee Moses-Schwab, '65, in New Orleans last summer. We had a lot to talk about. Picture attached. And a picture of Windsor Castle...AH! Those were the good 'ole days!

Keep in touch, Bobcats. I know the reunions seem like a long time off, but Christmas will be here before we know it. Will see you all around that time.
