Melissa (1965), Jessica 1980 I was always impressed how interested we were in the space programs and how many parents were involved at the very beginning. I was sorry to leave Huntsville before my senior year so did not graduate with the rest of the class, but my heart never left Huntsville. I received a BA from the University of Texas at Austin in anthropology but soon realized that I needed something more practical. Although I liked math and science, UT took all of my French and Russian credits and rolled them over into English and gave me a teaching certificate in English. I ended up teaching high school English, speech and journalism at Bastrop High School for 27 years plus. I had a good time. Now I take care of my dad (94) and grandchildren. I remember the junior senior program banquet. It seems that 4 or 5 of us danced the hula on the tables. I believe that Adele Archer was one of the other dancers.

Erika (1976) I am retired after working in a primary school for over 20 years. Now am concentrating on finishing ufo's (Quilting, counted cross stitch, embroidery, dining room painting and outside landscape).I intend to write down my memories for my daughter and have a couple of ideas for children's books that need to be jotted down. Tom is still working. He is a PE and has moved his office to our home.
We both volunteer for the Inited States Pony Club and have for many years. We also volunteer for local horse trails and are sponsors of White Oak Pony Club.
Tom maintains the fencing and vehicles for our daughter's horse farm. I help with that too. The zero turn and I are good friends. I am looking forward to learning how to naviage the new tractor, it has to be easier than the electronic sewing machine.
Erika is a professional equestrian. She events and trains humans and horses. She graduated from UT and became a working student for two Olympic equestrians. After training under another world class Eventer, she returned to Knoxville to begin her own business. Erika has only furry children (About 6 horses, 2 cats and 1 dog).

(941) 306-6660, flyselective@yahoo.com David born 1962 deceased 2001; Chris born 1966; Dana born 1964; Will born 1977 Oh boy..let's see. I returned to Fl. from Atlanta in 1989, deciding all travelling was over. I gave up on marriage in 1987 (what a smart move that was). When my two youngest ended up in Gainesville, I needed to find a career and luckily Delta needed another flight attendant! (So much for not travelling anymore). LOVED my job and would still be there had I not contracted the beginning stages of COPD (the years a-go smoking and breathing recycled air the culprits). Now I live with the love of my life-Scarlett, a Cavalier King Charles spaniel. My daughter lives 20 miles down the road, talk to Paula Gattis almost every day ( and yes, I know how a lot of you are doing!) Come on down! Visit the No. 1 beach (Siesta Key) in the U.S.! we were juniors Paula Gattis was spending the night with me and we double dated. The boys shall remain anonymous mainly because she can't remember who her date was. We stopped by my house to change for the breakfasts and as we pulled up in the drive, it was painfully (at least for me) obvious that my yard had been TP'd. I jumped out of the car and left half my formal on my way to the front door as the skirt had caught on the car's front bumper. Mmm....my yard was TP'd a lot.

I think I have a more favorable view of my high school years than most people, even though I was at least as much ruled by adolescent longings and pains as anyone. I have favorite school stories & what I regard as "funny" memories, but I'll have to wait until the 75th to tell them, in order to protect the guilty. I went to 4 colleges, majoring in alcohol, was drafted spent 320 fun-filled days in Vietnam as a glorified bank clerk, graduated scl from Troy State in l969, began grad school, switched to law school (UGA), grad. 1973. Worked a year in mountains for GA Legal Services; worked 5 years in Atlanta, moved back to St. Simons in l979, worked almost 25 years with practice limited to “civil rights”, mostly voting rights; worked as counsel/consultant (Reapportionment Group 2000, etc.) for local governments, legislatures, parties, caucuses, etc from NC to LA to FL. Retired/quit in 2002 due to diabetes, heart attack, etc. Many times I worked 16 hour days for weeks and weeks (the curse of a hard-core litigator); many times did not work for weeks and months. Saw the latter as my sacred duty for living on a barrier island – who else was going to catch all those fish or leave all those footprints on the beach? Married for 5-6 years, no children. Had various “live-in” arrangements for nearly 30 years, no more marriages, no children. Lived singly for almost 6 years not, but like the song says, I may live alone, but I an not lonely. I spent many days & trips on shrimp boats over the years. Owned a succession of small boats up to 25 feet, fished inshore & off. Spent much time on other Ga. Coastal islands, mainly Cumberland & Sapelo; represented community groups & many individuals on Sapelo in wars against the state & developers. Many, many stories about those places & their people.
My days are spent at my computer communicating with people & relatives all over the planet & excoriating the enemies of truth, justice, & apple pie; reading history & science fiction; watching sports & movies (& ‘Fringe’) on TV; walking & hanging out at the beach when viable, & hanging around with friends, mostly those who are as useless as me now, yet still alive. It’s been a tough life, but someone had to live it, right?

Kevin and Ryan Reily (parents Ben and Dana);Stephan Cope, Demitria Cope, Lola Cope (parents Rob and Vita); Gabriel Alexander Robison and Daniel Lewis Shady (parents Ashley and Deron); Aidan and Talin (parents Kevin and Skylar) I graduated from the University of Alabama in 1966 with a BS degree in Math and Chemistry and a minor in Secondary Education (required to qualify for an NDEA loan). After graduation from Bama, I taught math courses at Mt. Brook High School - Calculus, Algebra I and II, Plane Geometry and Advanced Math. One semester I had a class of 40 jocks who had failed Algebra II the first semester. That was quite interesting! I took a sabatical from teaching to rear 3 wonderful little boys and later a wonderful little girl. After returning to Huntsville, I worked for a while as a decorator for one of the local construction companies. I returned to the TECH world in 1979 as an assembly language programmer at Chrysler. I created, updated and maintained software testing instruments panels and trip computers in all the Chrysler plants in the US, Mexico and Canada. In 1981 I accepted a position at Intergraph Corporation (formerly M&S Computing) as a customer engineer. (Unfortunately I'm not one of those employees who made a fortune on INGR stock!). After 31 years, I'm still working at Intergraph as a Senior System Consultant. I live in a house on Locust Avenue, across the street from David Hardwick's family home. Mayor Searcy lived in this house for 23 years residing here when we were at HHS. Ironically, my pix with Mayor Searcy was printed in the Hunstville Times as part of a promotion for a HHS Booster Club fund raising event. I never imagined I would one day occupy the same house as Mayor Searcy. I've been mightily blessed!
My fondest memories are of cheerleading, teachers and friends at HHS. I will always remember stopping at the SPUR station near HHS to collect quarters to purchase gas for Marsha Jones or Lynda Sisco's cars. Surprising how much gas a quarter bought and how far we could drive on that gas. I remember Friday nites after football games parking our cars in a circle, turning on the lites, turning up the radios and dancing in the newly created cul-de-sacs along Drake/Garth. I remember spend the nite parties at Sparky's and going to work the next morning at Roper's Flowers at the crack of dawn. With sadness I remember having my letter jacket and next days clothes stolen at Shoney's. I attended the PSAT test the next morning in my still damp cheerleading uniform. I laughingly remember those burlap bags (Flintsone clothes) we wore to have our "favorite pictures" taken on Monte Sano. Those bags were so big they went around us twice and they made us ITCH! Remember when Jane Draughon decided I should have my eyelashes curled? She pinched my eyelid, I jumped and pulled out half my eyelashes on that side. It took a while for those lashes to grow back! Do you remember the lemony ice tea the cook made at for us at the Jr. Grace beach retreat? I can still taste it and I've never been able to reproduce that wonderful, refreshing tea. Remember Jane Draughon's sunburn? OUCH! Remember BUS D - the last to see and the last to pee.

Spent a career in aerospace/defense at large companies and small businesses with emphasis on start ups and turn arounds. With a BS in Aerospace Engineering and an MS and PhD in Electrical Engineering, I worked on guidance and control systems for launch vehicles, satellites, unmanned air vehicles, tactical and strategic missiles, and aircraft. Then I switched to development and operation of tactical Command, Control, and Intelligence systems and development of simulators. In 2005, I “retired” from industry to become Deputy Executive Director of the AIAA (American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics), where I focus on strategic business development. In this job I do some lobbying for the industry, try to stimulate educational and public outreach programs, and travel to neat places 6-8 times a year to generate aerospace business deals. Would love to attend the reunion but will be traveling with my wife and son and his family. We are taking 2 of our grands on their first trip to Europe (Berlin, Rothenburg, the Rhine and London). Then we’ll be in Sylacauga for Betty’s 50th reunion in August. Will miss all of you.
