52nd reunion weekend

The last weekend in April brought much fun as the class members that came gathered together. Several enjoyed a  stroll through Pat's Secret Garden on Saturday. Some played golf, at least Billy Thrasher did. At 2 p.m. many gathered to say their last goodbyes to Mary Newsome Smith at her funeral. At 5 p.m. all gathered at Colby's to rehash old stories and visit with old friends. The video shown by Billy Walker was great as usual but the friendships that were rekindled made the weekend. About 25 classmates and 37 individuals made the weekend. The last weekend in April of 2013 will be the next gathering time. Put that date on your calendar for 2013 and we look forward to seeing you all there. Check out the slideshow on the right to see some highlights of the weekend.
Thanks to all who came, see you all next year.
