New information

New information has been sent from your fearless leader for the  60th reunion.

Earlier this year, a planning committee of your fellow classmates, met and reserved the dates of June 11^th and 12^th for our 60^th CHS Reunion.  Oh my, can you possibly believe we’ve been graduated for sixty years!!! But, with the COVID-19 threat, social distancing and travel difficulties, we find in the best interest of us “older citizens”, we must postpone until a further date.  Maybe by Fall we will be able to have a “safe” GATHERING  and celebrate life with “ole” friends.  We do ask however, that each of you verify your current contact information (phone, e-mail, address and a brief note of how life is treating you these days_ with either Ann Adams Knowles (256-438-0178, ann@adamsmoh.com, or 184 Nomad Circle, Kinsey, AL 36303 or Jan Lisenby, call or text (334)-545-0005 and leave a message if need be.
