So far funeral arrangements on Thursday, the 17th, are the funeral will be Monday the 21st @ 2.00 p.m. at Holman Funeral Home.


Henderson Holman died this afternoon sometime between 2 and 3 p.m. Central Time. A lot is not known at this time. He had spoken on the phone with his (ex)wife about 50 minutes before he was found in his apartment. His body will be brought to Ozark and a burial is planned for Claybank Cemetery next to his parents. We do not know when that will be or any information at all. It will probably be determined by the time Martha and Rhoda, his sisters, and Barbie, his wife can arrive. Once we get an address for Henny, one of his sons, and his sisters we will add that to the blog along with any plans.

It's reunion time !

This year there seems to be many conflicts going on for dates to have a reunion evening.

August 30, 2014 

has been designated for the CHS Class of 1960 to gather once again

 to see friends and plan for our 55th reunion.

Colby's Restaurant in Ozark@ 5 p.m. 

is the place and time. 

$14.95 

will cover dinner, tip and tax. Can't beat it with a stick!!

 We hope you can all come. 

Please check with those you are still in contact with to make sure they are 

aware of this invitation. We don't have everyone's email and a 

"snail mail" invitation will not go out this year. 

We ask that you call or write all involved to make sure. 

We also ask that you send in your updated information of mailing address, phone number, home and cell. If you are reading this, we have your email address 

but just give us an assurance for next time along with any other classmates 

you may have stored away somewhere. 

We appreciate all you each do to keep this class together each year.

Bobby Flournoy

Ann and Jesse Adams visit Bobby's family  Bobby Flournoy’s memorial service was held Friday, January 31, 2014 at the VFW Post in Wetumpka, AL. The family wishes to thank Post 4572 and the Ladies Auxiliary. We send special thanks to all of you who have followed us and prayed for us through this difficult process. We also want to thank the amazing professionals of Tallassee Community Hospital and Community Hospice, who were absolutely amazing.  You made the best of one of the most difficult times a family could experience. Again, thank you all for your encouraging words and thoughts over the last few weeks, we are grateful to you all!"   The Flournoy Family

Gail Bankston

We got a call from Gail Bankston this morning and we wanted to share the information she gave us with each of you.
In October, Earl retired. In November Gail and Earl's daughter-in-law ( Morris' wife) was diagnosed with breast cancer, had successful surgery and is undergoing treatment. On Tuesday, Gail was diagnosed with colon cancer. She is in the Jacksonville Mayo Clinic where their  son Jeff is presently residing. Gail will have her first surgery, Tuesday, Feb. 4. More surgery will follow once a full diagnoses has been made.
Gail has asked that we tell you that she loves each of you and asks for your prayers. She also says that Earl and the boys ask for your prayers.
The best way to send something to Gail is to send it to her home in Ozark. Even though she has no real idea of how long this will be, your cards and letters mean a lot to her and she wants to make sure that she is able to see each of them. Therefore her home address is the best place for mail. Best guess is that she will return to Ozark in a week or so.
