If you miss this event you miss some of the best time in your life.  The class of 1985 is still the best class ever.  The spades champs are myself and Cathy McGurk Reiss. We called them names and kick butt.  If any class members want a piece of us you will have to pratice and we will see you next year at the card table.  So Sharon, Lila, Ben, Charlie and Mechach thank you for giving us someone to beat.  I love you all.  To all my classmates that put in the work to make it happen, well done. You did it. GREAT JOB!!

I would like to give a HUGE thank you to all those who set up this reunion. I have been part of the last two and yes there were some problems in the past. But I guess the third time is a charm. So lets keep this alive and going. This will work for all future reunions for the class of 85.  The class of 85, would like to plan to have a reunion every year for those who can attend.  Every 5th yr we would like to plan a Class reunion that everyone can attend, this should be the 30th class reunion.  It takes a lot of time, effort, participation, trust, communication, and Money to pull off a class reunion that is meaningful like this reunion that just passed.  With everyones help, there are people who are willing to put forth the effort to make the 30th reunion bigger and better then all other reunions.   So if you had trouble with the prior reunions, we can not change that.  We need to work past that and get the class of 85 together. 

Find your old classmates and get them on the list.  Facebook or here.  This will be updated as events come or if you have suggestions. 

Check out the pictures from the 25yrs reunion.  Find us on facebook. Find me James Carter "Jimmy Carter" on facebook.  I have lots of pictures from most of the events.

Again, Thank you to all those who got this right.  Applause!!!!

To Mr. Womack....25yrs and Assistant Principal...Next time Principal and your name on the Field. 

Thank you for a great time it was great to see everyone.

I would first like to thank God Almighty in the name of Jesus with the guidance of the Holy Spirit who made this reunion all possible! I would like to express my sincerest heart felt gratitude for everyone who was involved from the incepetion, middle and end process no matter what role you served in even if it was just by gracing us with your presence it was more than anyone of us could dream or expect so with as much heart that God allows me to thank you for the moments, laughs and tears that will last us all for a lifetime! It was not the meet and greet, banquet or picnic it was a group of brothers and sisters and our children and children's children that made this a lifetime event for generations to come for nothing is impossible if you dream and plan and work the plan as can't should never be in anyone's vocabulary as we can do all things in Christ who gives us the strength! An extreme thanks to Mr. Antonio Womack whose tour and presence at Ely and banquet was awe inspiring from a man of true excellence. For those who could not be there we offer our support no matter the reason we hope this memory of the love .peace and joy that we all experienced will allow you to be apart of future gatherings and celebrate each other in unity in one accord as true classmates of the graduated class of 1985.In closing one thought that was shared by all" Thank you for making us feel happy and loved!" May God continue to inspire change and love with your responsibility to bring happiness to your family and friends where ever you go, bless you all till next time stay” Up Where We Belong"

I am so glad that I allowed my brother Tyrone to talk me into participating in this unforgettable event. Its been 25 yrs and life has brought certain changes to all of us, but the love and the bond that we shared in high school showed up at the reunion this past weekend. Remember classmates Life is what you make it, but always put God first. I Love you guys and I am still Riding THE REUNION CLOUD so to the classmates that were not in attendance you missed a treat so get on board for next year. To all of you that like playing in water I say (WATER FIGHT BRING YOUR BIG GUNS)

My husband felt so welcomed. I didn't want it to end. I know this won't be the last we see of each other! Thank you for giving us the opportunity to see you all again. For those who did miss the reunion you have no idea what you missed!! You all will have a special place in my heart forever!
