Comments: Just an update for those of you who remember me. First off, I went to
the prom with Billy Hopkins my Senior year and was not aware that he had passed
away- from what? I have traveled a lot since high school, but ended up back here
working for a lawyer. I have a beautiful 23 month old son and a wonderful
husband, Justin Skeens. And my sidekick from WWHS- Alisa is still my sidekick
and we are closer than ever. I hope that every one's lives have turned out well-
We live and learn, Peace and Love and Kindness to everyone, because you never

Comments: I didn't graduate in 97 or from WWHS but some of my friends did. I was known for grabbing peoples ankles with my long white cane I used to navigate around campus (still do). I ended up graduating in another state and school but I always thought the net might help me reconnect with friends from my past some day and since the yahoo group was of no help one of the friends I found told me to post here. So here I am. I'm looking for a friend who gave me sighted guide to the busing area or anywhere on campus. His name is David Deming and was hoping to reconnect with him as a friend. 10 years is a long time I understand. But was hoping to at least see how he was doing. If anyone knows where to find him/communicate with the guy please let him know I'm looking for him. My email address is
blindvi@hotmail.com
he can contact me there.
I have located him on a public records website; but there are two entries associated with him so I'm trying one last time here before putting out money for a public record entry.

As for children, we are planning to start a family within the next 2 years. If anyone wants to chat, I will be waiting!!!

Comments: Hi everyone,
We are not giving up!!! June 20th is designated as the day to really look at the numbers and make sure that we can afford to have the event. So if you want to have it, please send in your registration and money by this date.
If we don't have enough people signed up by June 20th, then unfortunately we will have to consider cancelling the Saturday night event. So again, if you plan on coming, please don't procrastinate.
Go ahead and send in your money now...
a) because it's cheaper
b) because if you wait to send it after June 20th, we might not have enough people or money to make the BKCC event happen at all
c) because the first 50 registrants get a flat screen
d) all of the above -- (excluding the flat screen--that was a bit of a stretch):
Please spread the word and tell friends to RSVP today!
Thank you!

The Class of '97 reunion is in danger of being cancelled due to lack of response. If you intend to go, please return your completed registration form immediately so that we can get a legitimate headcount. (It isn't enough to promise to go, you actually need to send in your completed registration form with money).
Please RSVP ASAP if you are planning to attend!!!
