While we enjoyed our 50th High School Reunion activities, we were all aware that some of our former classmates were not with us. Unfortunately, 35 of our beloved classmates are deceased, but they will not be forgotten. Mary Ann Norwood Collins and Cecil Coleman conducted a very moving memorial ceremony and read the names of those who had passed on. Below Mary Ann's and Cecil's picture is a memorial list created by the Reunion Committee.
There are numerous pages of other photos, including some framed photos.
Look near the bottom of each page for links to all pages.
