The 45 th reunion is now past and we had a wonderful tme. Friday night we were treated to Gary Bowling\'s House of Art. It is an amazing gallery , worth a trip to Bluefield to see. The weather was a little chilly on Saturday but did not stop the fun at the picnic. Saturday night we were at the Arts abd Crafts Center for a great meal, dancing and renewing old friendships. Sunday found us on the mountain at the overlook remembering classmates that have passed. We even had an extra guest, a black bear !Don\'t forget the 50th is on the same dates july 15,16 and 17 2016.

My goodness.........how has the time slipped away? I went from West Virginia to South Carolina to Texas and now find myself in living in Albany, NY. I am working on the largest factory jobsite site in the USA right now. 3000 construction workers every day working on a $4.6B project. I get home to South Carolina about every 3 weeks. I sure miss WV and the reunions. Let me hear from you.

Dear BHS66,Sounds like a great reunion coming up. Thanks to all those working hard to make it happen.Regrettably, we won\'t make it this time around. Last chance to take a group of JMU students to London (alas in July) before I retire in summer 2012. Will try very hard to make 2016, both the year and the reunion :)Love to all,Dave Pruett, Suzanne Fiederlein, and Ellie Pruett-Fiederlein

What a great week-end for renewing old friendships and catching up with each other. It really is a shame that we have classmates living here that do not attend. Look what they are missing!!

Janet and I really enjoyed the reunion. It was good to renew old aquaintences as well as making new ones. While viewing the photos, I noticed one of George Erps. I regret not seeing and talking to him on Friday evening. I always liked George. In fact, by the time I left BHS he and I were on a first name basis, if you know what I mean!

I have some good "dirty dancing" photos which I will try to send to individuals as well as this website. I would also like classmates to start using the "Stories" part of the website so we can collect our memories before we don't have them any more. Would any one out there be able to set up a map that shows where everyone lives?
I had lots of fun, but I'm sorry I missed Friday night. I was still hoarse Sunday morning.

This past weekend was the best reunion ever. For those of you who missed it, please know you were talked about constantly! We're going to post pictures and comments soon, so keep checking this site. We plan to use it often to stay in touch with all classmates. Mark your calendars for the 45th, and maybe there will be a get-together or two before then! Your reunion committee misses all of you!

Howdy from hot, humid Washington, DC, where it starts to get miserably muggy this time of year. That's why Congress and "W" escape this city, and I intend to do the same pronto. There's nothing like Nature's Air-Conditioned City to cool off and rest up from editing intel pubs, helping master's students prepare their theses, and writing (slowly) a doctoral dissertation of my own. NEWS FLASH -- Just found out on Father's Day that I'm going to be a grandpa for the first time in January. Finally -- whoopee! I live in Springfield, VA, right around the corner from my best friend Karen, who will accompany me to the Reunion as she did to the BHS '65 AAA State Champs Reunion last October. It was wonderful seeing some of you there, but I hope to see a lot more of you this time around. Don't let your classmates down -- be there and be square!

After experiencing the reunion of the 1965 West Virginia AAA Football State Champions held at the B.H.S.'s Homecomming last October, I knew that I had to return to Bluefield for our 40th Reunion.
I totally enjoyed seeing everyone on that weekend, and I am so looking foward to seeing everyone in July.

As I age, I get more and more nostalgic, so watch out for hugs, kisses and incriminating photos. Greg Zamule will be making an honest woman out of me. After 5 years of engagement, we'll be married on July 4th and will have just returned from our honeymoon before the reunion. I think it's the first time I've ever come to a reunion as a married woman. Okay, as an elderly but married woman. Looking forward to seeing everyone despite my glaucoma.

Looking forward to our 40th. Tee an I have been married 41 years. I'm retired, we have 3 children, and 5 granddaughters an 1 grandson. We stay active in our church, Tee is in the Mason's, so we have made friends all over with our travels. We love spending time with our children an grandchildren. We have lived in Dublin Va. for 36 years, no matter where we go we run into someone we know. It's like having family nearby. I hope more of the class that live in Bluefield will come to the class reunion this year. Thanks to all for the work you put into planning our 40th. I could go on an on but I don't want to write a book.

For those of you who watch American Idol, we sure are proud here in Birmingham today. Taylor Hicks went to high school with my son. He graduated a yr after Gabriel. He's from the town where I work (Hoover). Reuben Studdard is from Birmingham and Bo Bice (who lost to Carrie Underwood) is from here too.
