Ready for the Reunion -- George Hodge, shown here with his two daughters, reports he is still kicking.  George and Wanda have lived in Florida for about 20 years, but make it back to Huntington each summer -- and we look forward to seeing him at our 50th Reunion.

The "Mini-Reunion" Edition
The 45th Class Reunion was so much fun that some people just can't wait for the traditional 50th reunion.  So, the "mini-reunions" have started to pop up around Huntington.  In this edition of the class web page, you will find lots of pictures from these get-togethers, thanks to the photographic work by Dwight Smith and Jay Bowen. The pictures start on page 5 (click here.)
Can you believe it?  Come May 2009 it will have been 50 years ago since we completed our years at Huntington High School.  Of course, we will be celebrating with a 50th Reunion Gala and want you to mark June 19-20, 2009 on your calendar right now.  The Reunion Committee has announced that a $75 per person or $125 per couple fee will cover all activities on Friday and Saturday. Classmates attending will receive a special souvenir.  Currently there are plans to take a class photo on the steps of the "old" Huntington High School on Friday evening and then we will get together in the ballroom.  The main event will be on Saturday night at the Ramada Inn on 16th St. Road,  with a catered dinner and music.
