More "Missing Classmates" Found
Thanks to the great detective work
of Classmate Tom Lambert, many more of our "missing" classmates have now been located.
Tom has located
more than 24 of those who were on the missing list. If you know of any others who are on our missing
list, please let us know as we are starting the planning for our 55th reunion.
During the search for
the missing, we discovered sadly that several other classmates have died, including Bevery Wood Hudson,
Janet Green Weekly, Daniel Charles Stahler, Robert Edward Jarrell, Sandra Kay Turner Worley and Judy
Carolyn Rader Miller, Bennie Ferguson, Judy McKee Gardner, James Williams, and Mary Ellen Howell.
We have also added 35 more classmates to our e-mail database thanks to Tom Lambert. For information
on the "found" classmates or e-mail addresses, please e-mail us at hhs59@earthlink.net.
One
other piece of news is that Sharon Stevens Holley who was our classmate in 1957 and 1958 contacted
us recently. Sharon moved from Huntington and graduated from high school in Florida, where she now lives
with her husband. Sharon, who also attended Cammack Junior High, says she has many fond memories of
Huntington and inquired about several of her HHS classmates. We have added Sharon to our e-mail list

|

Our class "Lunch Bunch" sessions are proving to be popular and, of course, fun. This is an informal
group, open to all, that meets from time to time in Huntington just to meet and have lunch. There is
no set schedule, and the "Lunch Bunch" often meets when an out-of-town classmate is in the area. The
group is organized by Gwen (Cookie) Caldwell. Above is a picture taken at one of the lunches. Shown
are David Glick, Pat Tweel Coddington, Judy Hinerman May, Laura Burgess Smith and Jeri Hensley Dorsey.
You can request to be put on the "Lunch Bunch" invitation list by e-mailing us at hhs59@earthlink.net.
