Hey Monty,
I'm a grandpaw. My youngest son Kelly and his wife Leslie had a girl
yesterday morning. They haven't given her a name yet and I haven't even had a chance to see her.
I'll send some of those boring pictures as soon as I get some.

Hello Everyone.Still alive .Doing well in tipton co.Working in Frayser 2-1-05

Donnie Davenport

I am still a piano technician after 30 years. We closed our music stores fter my parents moved to
Dallas, Tx about 15 years ago. My brother Greg(graduate of 1976), and I started a Medical
company about 15 years called Greystone Medical. We have a drug that heals a category of wounds called non-healable wounds. We've had several articles in the Memphis Business Journal that can be pulled up by entering "Greystone Medical" . My wife, Brenda King Pilant(Frayser grad of 1970) is a guidance counselor at Bartlett High School. We have three grown sons. Me and my three sons sing together as a gospel quartet. We attend Bellevue Baptist Church and sing there on different occasions.
Thanks and Happy New Year!

Class of 1970

Just wanted to pass along the address of one of your classmates: Robert B. Lantrip 6263 Brightwood Memphis, TN 38134 901/382-2841 I am his sister and I was in the Class of '66. I was looking around on the Class of '69 webpage and saw the directory for Class of '70, so that is how I got your email address. Jan 2005

We bought a new home on 5 acres out in the middle of beautiful Kentucky Bluegrass horse land, and we are loving it! As I look out my office window, my view is rolling hills and farm land - very peaceful! I am still teaching in Lexington (not so peaceful!) but it only takes about 20 minutes to get to my school, which is on Lexington's southern border. The drive home in the afternoon is just enough to wind down after a day spent with 24 third graders! Thanks for keeping us all informed. Even though we might not get to see people we graduated with, it is still great to hear about where they are and what's going on in their lives. Thanks to you and Monty, that's possible.

Please extend our gratitude to the Class of 69 for the beautiful spray of flowers that was sent to my brother Mark's funeral service. It certainly was a bright spot on such a dark and gloomy day in our lives. (The weather wasn't very co-operative either) Thanks for the thoughts and prayers.

Let's try this again! Sorry for the inconvenience. Please do consider mailing a Christmas card to this child.
Thanks , Mike Powell
Here it is!
Hello All,
I am trying to help out a young boy who lives in Canton, Ga. with his
Christmas Wish. Please allow me to explain, this past Sunday in Sunday School at First Baptist of Woodstock, a fellow class member asked everyone to help out her friend's little brother. He was born with no legs and no arms 13 years ago. His health has been getting bad towards the end of thisyear. Needless to say he has had a tough life so far. If he could have anything he wanted for Christmas, he replied, "I want a Christmas Miracle". He wouldn't tell the family until the next day. His sister kept bugging him and he finally told her that he wants 10,000 Christmas cards by Christmas. He doesn't want to tell anyone, because he wants it to be a miracle. So I am asking for your help! Please send a card to the address at the bottom of the screen, and pass this along to anyone you know that will do the same.
If we all pitch in and spend just a moment filling out this card, and saying a pray for this young man, we can all be a blessing to him. What a small thing for us, but such a big thing for him! Thank you for you help, and have a blessed Christmas season,
Sincerely, Debbie Miller

Hi Monty,
We are headed to Florida in about two weeks. My daughter, Kelsey, is Miss Jr. Teen Tennessee and she is going to compete with 95 other girls in her age division in Disney during Thanksgiving. I'm sending you a photo of her. The Class of '69 had some pretty good genes, huh?

Donna (Prescott) Lynch

Update, huh? Well, right after graduation, about a year or so, I found out I have diabetes. Guess it has been about 35 years now since my diagnoses. Rough road sometimes but God has been kind and I have had few complications until the last few years. I met Tom when he was first stationed at Millington and we married in April of '71. Then moved immediately to Florida, Where both our sons were born in Leesburg. We have 3 kids. Our eldest is almost 32 now. he lives in Sacramento, Ca. He is married and has a son almost 10 and is expecting twins in feb/march. Our second son is almost 30 and lives in Knoxville, and is going to school there. Our third, a girl, died about 5 & 1/2 years ago in an awful church bus crash.We were in the navy a total of 20 years. We spent 12 years in and got out to use his G.I. bill to go to school, at the Sunset School ofPreaching in Lubbock, Texas. Then we went back in and finished out his last 8. Tom was in the reserves while we were out those 4 years, too. It was during those 4 years that we adopted our daughter, she was 3 weeks old then. We had her for 16 wonderful years.We have settled in a small town in the southern plains of Texas. A definite difference in climate then Memphis! But with all the moving we did while the kids were growing up, when you ask them where they are from they say "from sea to shining sea!". We have lived in central Florida, Washington State,California (twice), Virginia, coastal Mississippi, the Chicago area, and Texas (twice), not quite in that order.
I was planning to come to the 25th reunion, but Tom's ship was being commissioned that same weekend and his folks came down to Ms. for that week, so that canceled any plans then.I have had hardly any contact with ANYone since graduation. I did run into Linda Vick once in the exchange on base in Oak Harbor, Wash. That was over 25 years ago. I saw Sharon Pruitt once when I went to her bridal shower a week early. lol!!
And I have seen Debby McCain a few times at church when we visited in Memphis. We have seen many beautiful parts of our great country and have met many wonderful people so that now I have friends in many parts of the world. It has been a good life, but I would really like to re-touch with a few old friends. I definitely hope to come to the reunion in '09. If the good Lord's willing.
Is that what you would call a thumb nail sketch for an update? lol.
love and prayers,

Would love to hear from any who are interested in getting back in touch. I'm at momabeeus@yahoo.com We now live in a small town just outside of Lubbock, Texas, (Meadow) Would love to hear from some of you.

Hey Jimmy We are getting real tired of these storms. We took a hit with Charlie here. I got around two feet of sea water in my lower unit. The winds were around 115 on the Island where we live. Luckily our home wasn't destroyed. Many were. All of the other storms weren't as bad for us here. We had to stay off our island for a week after Charlie hit and the lights didn't come back on for around 8 days after the storm. So all of the food that was in the home spoiled and stunk up the place. It smelled like the Jr. High Football locker room..... All is well now but we have to repair all the damage done to the downstairs unit in the next couple of months... Hey, even with the storms, it still is a very nice place to be. I'll take it over Mempho anytime... Hey I got to go and get ready for Jeanne, in case it comes across the state and gets us.... Wheeeewwww...

RE: TV Debut

Hey, Jimmy - I noticed Food Network is going to air the episode "Smokin' Sides" that I appeared in again on Sunday, Sept. 5 at 4:30 CT. Still can't believe Randy Byrd caught the segment the last time it aired and called me!
