The information was sent to the paper exactly as it appears on our 55th Class Reunion page. I'm waiting for a reply from the paper as to why the names were rearranged.

 

September 29, 2019

Rich & Betty Lou Reasoner: Thank you for the invitation to be your guests at your 55th Class Reunion. It was a most enjoyable evening. As I looked around the room, it made me thankful I did not "SCREW UP" any of the class members.

                                           

Jacquie Alexander (Worley): I was unable to attend the reunion last weekend, but I want to tell everyone hello. Nothing much has changed recently in our lives. We are still living in Clemson, SC, the home of the Clemson Tigers national football champs. It is a great little town to live in. Our two children and six granddaughters all live here. For any of you who remember my mother, she will celebrate her 99th birthday in November. She has been living with me for almost ten years now. Her body is giving way little by little, but her mind is still very sharp, for which I am very grateful. She plays bridge regularly and wins regularly as well. My husband Wes and I are still in pretty good shape and are able to enjoy spending time with all the family. This summer I had a chance to get together with Becky Williams (Leonard). It was good to share old memories and to make some new ones. Hoping to make the 60th.

 

September 26, 2019

Barry Kennedy: This is a big thank you to the reunion committee for putting together a special weekend and to all the people who hosted parties I'm sorry I did not get to attend. It was enjoyable to see wonderful classmates again and 5 years between events does seem like a long time. I want to thank all the people who were so nice to say hello and to offer well wishes and greetings. Our class has to be one of the most talented and special classes Martinsville High has ever experienced. It was nice to see so many of you again after all these years. The In Memory video was very moving and brought back fond memories of those wonderful people who have passed and we will never forget them. With over 250 classmates, being close friends with all was an impossible task. But I always felt a special bond in my adopted hometown of Martinsville in the 8 years my family lived there. Thank you to those who had nice things to say about my dad who treasured, in his late 30's, being your principal and valued all of you and his job at MHS. It means a lot to me to know your thoughts about him whether they were fond memories or testy. He meant well and thought our class was as great as any he ever had and it had nothing to do with me, but with the personalities, talents and wonderful people you all were. I love all of you, your families and loved ones and wish all of you many blessings, great health and happiness every day. Thank you for your friendship and all the memories. Words can never adequately express how much all of you mean to me including those who were unable to attend and those who have passed. I will forever treasure my time at MHS. Most of you never knew what an emotional guy I am, but I speak from the heart with deepest sincerity. You all are incredible! Take care, be safe and God Speed! Thanks again!

Joan Musgrave (Miller): I just wanted to send a note to let everyone know I will certainly miss being at the class reunion this year. All is well, I have out of town guests coming this weekend. It was not my choice of the date but they already had their plane tickets etc. Since the last reunion, I have had a bout with cancer going the whole nine yards of surgery, chemo and radiation. It has been two years and so far and my health seems to be going well. I also remarried a couple years ago to a wonderful man, Jay. My husband had passed away 6 years ago and Jay's wife 9 years ago. We have a great time together bowling, golfing, church and a multitude of other interests. God willing, I will make the next reunion. Maybe we shouldn’t wait another 5 years in this stage of our lives! Take care and have a great fun filled weekend.

Barry Kennedy: First let me thank all my wonderful classmates who wished me a Happy Birthday on the 5th. It was so good to hear from you and I really appreciate all of you as I have tried to share. I do not know if this is true or not but I started first grade in a little country school in southern Indiana when my dad got his first coaching job and they had 3 grades in each classroom. They begged my parents to start me at age 4 years and 3 months. The truth is I was supposed to be in the class of '65 which also has great people in it. Supposedly, I was the youngest person in our class but that could be hearsay. I just know I feel so blessed that I ended up in the class of '64. I was barely 17 when I graduated. Lastly, I want to share that I broke my phone and had to get a new number for my new phone. You can call or text me at 772-643-1409. God willing, I hope to see everyone at the next class reunion. God Bless all of you and I hope all of you and your loved ones are happy and well. After this past hurricane season, I might end up back in Indiana. Hurricanes are not fun :) :)!! Take care and be safe everyone!

Barry Kennedy: To all my good friends and classmates of 1964… I moved to Vero Beach, Florida in October. I'm a caretaker for my oldest daughter who has Sjogrens disease which led to Lupus in my wife and caused her passing 3 years ago. She is a 38 year old single mother with an 11 year old daughter and I needed to move them near all my relatives in Florida so if anything happens to me, they will not end up in a homeless shelter. She cannot work and they are on SSI. My granddaughter also has health issues.  

I have had a blessed life and miss all of you who are part of our great class. Martinsville will always be my hometown to me and I miss everyone who was a member of our class. I personally feel all of our b-ball team should be in the MHS Hall of Fame. I realize I may not have seemed congenial to some of you in school but it was never intentional or due to arrogance. There was a shy side of me that made it difficult to share my feelings like I should have, but it was really hard being Ray Kennedy's son in our school. Dad was only in his late 30's/early 40's during his time as principal there. I was verbally and physically assaulted 2-3 times by students in school (not our class), but I was very cautious in my behavior because Dad was not easy on me at home if he thought I was stepping out of line. I remember Jimmy Wilson having his desk fall over in a fake seizure with a sub once in Mae's class and 2-3 of us went to the rest room with him. The sub was really shaken. It was a great prank, but my dad heard about it and I was grilled that night hard about what happened. A memory that lives within me for the ages.  

I love all of you, wish you all the best of health, wealth, and great fortunes, and I hope I get to see all of you at the next reunion. Thanks to all of you who help with our great events. I love you all and you will always be in my heart. Our class was the most special one to ever go thru MHS.  Pardon my bias! Take care and be safe.

My new address is 1523 Lexington SQ SW, Vero Beach, Florida  32962. I can be called or texted at 540-379-3134. I love following many of you privately on Facebook. May the Wind Be Always at Your Back... as part of the Irish Blessing goes!

Ken Addington: Karl Dorff posted a comment on our In Memory page regarding the passing of Larry Holt. In part, Karl said, "I'm especially sorry I never took the time to express to Larry how much his friendship meant to me. Perhaps my error can be a lesson to some of my classmates who may read this." Thanks Karl, I learned from your post.

I was new to Martinsville between my junior and senior year of high school. It was a long and boring summer until one evening there was a knock on the door and on the porch were four faces I didn't know. They welcomed me to Martinsville and included me in their group throughout the remaining summer and my senior year. It was great to be among friends. I want to say to Jim Wilson, Dan Collier, and Barry Kennedy, "Thank You! You were and are special friends." I waited too long for Steve Curtis to read this. I'll post it on our In Memory page.

That was the summer of 2010 and since then I am enjoying my divorce from pagers, cell phones and problem calls all day and into the night. I am traveling, wintering in Naples, FL, and maybe this year Australia. I love gardening, hiking, biking, and watching my very talented grandchildren play hockey, baseball, lacrosse, volleyball, and girl's basketball which is greatly more competitive than the half court that was so boring in the 60s.

Rolande Webb (Burch): For those of you who know her, my oldest sister, Scarlett has liver cancer. No treatment has helped so I think we are going to lose her. So sad.

October 31, 2010

Patty Phillips (Arvin): From Martinsville, I moved to South Bend, IN, after a couple of years on the IU campus. I married Russell Arvin in 1969. I taught elementary school for 3 years, and he went back to college for his business degree. My job paid the bills; his college was paid for by the GI bill--fortunately! We both graduated from IU. Daughter #1 was born and I taught for 1 more year. He graduated, and as daughter #2 was in "the incubator", we moved to Chicago for a brief time (not brief enough for me!). There, he trained with the government to become an IRS agent. The week following the end of that training, he was able to transfer to Mishawaka, IN. That enabled us to stay in our home (which was NOT in Chicago), but he drove 45 minutes each way--even in the horrible "lake-effect-snow" winters. We had our final child, another girl, in 1978--the blizzard of '78...and that is another story! We spent the next several years nesting--our girls growing all the while. Once they were of school age, I tried to get a teaching job. But, at that time, in Indiana, your way into a teaching job was substituting or knowing the right person. Since I didn't know the right person, it was the substitute route. Now, you remember what happens to substitutes..... Not a pretty picture. (I also had my life license as a teacher, which cost school systems more money than did the entry level graduate). We moved about 3 more times, each time going through the route of subbing. At one time, I thought I had a job for an upcoming school year. The principal really liked me, and told me I'd have a spot. One problem. He decided to go back to teaching--preferred to teach rather than settle squabbles and red tape. That being done, I bid farewell to subbing and teaching forever! I did some short term jobs which I really enjoyed--like working in a store bakery when the bakeries actually did things almost from scratch. I even made doughnuts, from beginning to end, and thoroughly enjoyed that! I've been an executive assistant for a number of years. And I actually worked in the shipping department (that would be just me) for a small business; hand-designed and made pillows in a specialty pillow shop. When we moved to Charlotte, I took one of my last jobs as an E.A.  About a year later, my mother's health was failing. Rather than take family leave, I resigned that job so that I could go out to Arizona and be with her whenever I wanted. That didn't last long.  From the onset of her dementia to her death was only 1½ to 2 years. God was good in granting me the privilege of being with her as she breathed her last. (Yes, Mrs. Phillips, the Latin teacher of old MHS died May 28, 2002!) It was an incredible passing, for even in the small details, her hospice room had a CD that included "Ave Maria" and another song in Latin. Now, how fitting was that for a Latin teacher? Our girls are scattered: 2 are in Fort Wayne, IN, and the other is in Arizona , married, and working for AmEx. I have only one grandchild--a 13 year old boy. (He will turn 14 on Christmas Eve this year). Although my husband is retired, he is managing to do more and more for Liberty Tax. During the tax season, there is a really good franchise for which he works. My work consists of mostly being a domestic engineer. I get out with my friends when I want. I have a great yoga class 3-4 times a week. And Russell and I have taken up square dancing again. We both really like Charlotte, NC. More and more Yanks are finding this a nice place to settle for retirement. And that's okay, as long as they behave and act responsibly! It is green all year round, since we have both conifer and deciduous trees. There are also flowers of all sorts that take their turns blooming throughout the year. Needless to say, it's a high pollen location. There is almost a lifetime to tell, but I think this is enough about me and my family. We have been very blessed. Every day I awake, it's a good day! Although I'm on Facebook, I prefer to write via email. So, if anyone really wants to get in touch with me, email me at paarvin@carolina.rr.com. Please put "MHS classmate" in the subject line.

Pam Driscoll (Guinn): After 39½ years with Duke Energy, I am happy to announce my retirement to spend more time with my family, my husband, my 7 and 10 year old grandsons, Luke and Evan. Also, Larry and I have been married 20 years this year so we'll be traveling to Gatlinburg, Tennessee, where we spent our honeymoon, for our 20th anniversary. Also, we plan spending time in Florida in January this winter to have a break from the Indiana normal snow. Then we can be officially be labeled snowbirds. I hope to get reacquainted with my home and being a housewife full time and part-time everything else. It has already been a year since our last class reunion. My how time flies. I hope all classmates are retired or retiring soon and enjoying life. See you all in 4 years.

 

June 2, 2010

Ken Addington: Mike Bex, class of 1965, was in Martinsville Memorial Day weekend to visit friends and family and to attend the Indy 500.  This was Mike's 55th year to attend the race. Mike currently lives in Charleston, SC.  As a member of the 1963-64 MHS semi-state basketball team, Mike has fond memories of that special season and would love to hear from his team mates. His email address is mbex@bellsouth.net.

 

May 1, 2010

Connie Kay Burkett (Johnson): Frankly, it will be two years since the passing of my husband, William R. Johnson, and I don't know if any of my former classmates have yet to lose the mate of many years to be left wondering what else is there. Some chuckle that you go back to your high school years, but having my high school sweetheart as my spouse for so many years, sometimes it seems the right thing to revisit the familiar. Is there a classmate out there that has lost his or her spouse, or maybe a child, and looking to reconnect with the good old days when life seemed so pure and so much ahead to gain? IF so, I would love to talk with you. I can be contacted at bijohnson@aol.com or cjohnson112@indy.rr.com or 317-896-1057. God bless and I hope to hear from someone out there. Life is good. Connie Kay Burkett-Johnson, widow of William Roy Johnson, both classmates of 1964.

RoseMary Hacker (Bronstetter): I moved back to Martinsville about 5 years ago. I would love to hear from my classmates. My email address is rosehlb1945@yahoo.com. My family has grown by leaps and bounds. I am mother of 4, grandmother of 19, and great-grandmother of 11. I know that sounds like a lot, but my oldest son married a lady with a family of her own. I love them all! Guess I have bored you enough about me. I am so happy to see this website. As I said, I would love to hear from any of my classmates. Be kind, bless all of you, and keep the Lord with you always.

Evan and Jane (McGinnis) Collinsworth: We were excited to receive news of the 2009 reunion and learn about the website! We loved reading about old friends and seeing that we have all aged gracefully. (Not Donna Johnston - she looks like she’s 20!) Evan and I remain in Richmond, Indiana. He still works for Farm Bureau Insurance (along with Terry Collier - a fishing buddy). I am retired from Richmond schools after teaching kindergarten for many years. I was blessed to stay home and raise our 4 children. Now I am blessed to help with our 7 grandchildren. Four live in Akron, Ohio, two live in Bloomington, Illinois, and one lives in Indianapolis.  The one in Indy is a girl named Evyn, after her papaw.) We still have our youngest in her fourth year at IU. Notice I did not say her senior year since we believe graduation will be another year in coming. She can’t decide what she wants to be when she grows up. We live on a farm south of Richmond and raise Black Angus cattle. I am a discussion leader in Bible Study Fellowship and Evan is a children’s leader in the men’s BSF. Evan and I look forward to celebrating our 40 year wedding anniversary next year. (My mother said it would never last!) We read with sorrow of the classmates who have passed away. Now that I know where to find this site, I will be anxious to read about all of you. I am looking forward to the reunion.The last one was so much fun! Thanks to Mike, Ken, and others for not giving up on the Class of '64!

Gary Mason: I retired from Rolls-Royce (formerly Allison's) in 2007 at the end of April after 42 years. I hired in as an inspector and was an Advanced Manufacturing Engineer when I retired. The company tried to talk me out of retirement due to a project that was starting so I retired on April 30, took a whole day off, and returned to work on May 2 as a contract employee. I worked that job until December 21 when I quit again. Karen and I bought a home in Ft. Myers, Florida, and spent the winter here. I go back to work as a contract employee again on April 7 and will work a few weeks until the grandkids get out of school for the summer. Then we plan on bouncing back and forth as much as possible taking advantage of the weather in both places. We have a daughter and 2 grandchildren in Florida as well as an aunt, uncle, and two nieces.  Having family in both places makes it really nice.  n Indiana, we have one son near Centerton and another in Indianapolis. They have provided us with 2 more grandsons and 4 more granddaughters to spoil while we are up north.

 

January 28, 2008

Jill Nutter (Keller): I retired at the end of the 2007 school year. I taught for 28 years and was a school administrator for 11 years. Bob and I have 3 going on 4 grandchildren. Chip has a boy and a girl, and Mimi has a little girl and is soon to have her second. (This will probably happen in the next 3 weeks.) Chip, of course, owns Keller's Office Supply. Since I retired, Bob and I have been cleaning some areas at the First Baptist Church.  We do this because the church is not in the best of financial shape and we can help "keep it afloat" this way.) I am also on the Board of Christian Education for the first time in many years. We also traveled to Hilton Head with the kids and grandkids and took a trip to Florida with my sister and her significant other. He's a very nice person, and they live in Greenwood.

 

January 24, 2008

Mary Beth Champlin (Featheroff): I will be retiring from teaching at the end of the 2008 school year. I started teaching in 1968 at what is now East Middle School in Martinsville. I stayed home for 13 years to raise my two children. I returned to teaching public speaking, discussion, and debate at Martinsville High School in the mid 1980's and have now taught full time for 29 years. I have been teaching the GED classes part time since 1976. I will remain the GED teacher at Martinsville High School. My husband, Dave, is also retiring this year. We will enjoy visiting more with our three grandchildren, who live in Martinsville and Chicago. We also hope to spend more time in Saftey Harbor, Florida, where we own a home. While in Saftey Harbor we will be tutoring at the Developmental Youth Center. I have had a great time teaching and look forward to more adventures.

Ken Addington: I know somebody keeps visiting our class website because the "hit" counter keeps going up. It must be disappointing for visitors to see the same "Class Notes" and "Photos" with each visit. I need your help to update the pages of our website. Please send me news and/or photos about yourself and pass this request along to other classmates. Thank you.

 

May 15, 2007

Tessa Ballinger (Blackketter): After 26 years in the MSD of Martinsville, this is my last year of teaching. I don't have specific retirement plans yet. I just plan on doing what I want to do, when I want to do it  Of course, I will spend more time with my four grandchildren. Bob and I will also do a little traveling. I currently volunteer at our church's free clinic and plan to continue. I'll probably get involved in some other volunteer work, possibly the cancer center. For the time being, I will wait awhile to decide where I'm needed most.

Kathy Wilson (Munoz): Rebuilding continues here on the Mississippi Gulf Coast after Hurricane Katrina hit in August 2005. It's very slow, but ongoing and progress is made one day at a time. It's a huge undertaking, and many people still don't have any settlements from their insurance companies. In January the first law suit where homeowner policy holders sued State Farm Insurance went to court. The judgment was in favor of the homeowners much to the delight of most people who are still waiting for a settlement to start rebuilding their homes and their lives. Now, big surprise....State Farm Insurance announced it will no longer write any new homeowner insurance policies in Mississippi. So the big news down here and in other disaster prone areas of the country is "insurance reform". And anyone living here will tell you it's long overdue. We have just started on interior repairs of our home. We have moved from FEMA tarps covering the damaged portion of our roof after Katrina to having roof repairs made in February 2006. It was hard to find contractors (at least reliable ones) then, and it remains so today. We've been on the waiting list for our contractor since March 2006. He's already started on our repairs, and we'll be moving out of one part of the house, while repairs are being made, then move back when it's done. And repeat the scenario again as we move to different sections of the house. I have no idea how long this will take, but I've been living with things boxed up and waiting for this since August 2005. So, I'm looking forward to the mess, because it's the light at the end of the tunnel. So wish us luck. Our lives are forever changed, and that's not all bad. It's been difficult, but we've become stronger. And we appreciate each and every day we have. We know all too well how quickly it can be taken away. We've learned that things don't matter....people do.

Jane Leonard Parks was involved in a severe auto accident near Valparaiso on Nov. 13, 2005. She is now in a facility near Decatur, her home for many years. She would enjoy receiving cards and letters from her friends in the 1964 class of Martinsville High School.

Jane is the daughter of Max and Alberta Leonard and the sister of Dan Leonard of Bloomington and the late Jack Leonard. 

Her mailing address is Jane Leonard Parks, Golden Meadows Home, 3646 N. 200 E., Decatur, IN 46733.

 

January 28, 2007

Gary Mason: It still amazes me how I can live within a few miles of where I grew up and many of my classmates still live here as well and our paths never cross. I am finally going to join those lucky classmates that have already retired. I plan to retire at the end of April after over 42 years at Rolls-Royce Corporation. My wife Karen and I hope to spend more time with our 10 grandchildren. We have two in Cape Coral, FL, so we hope to spend our future winters there. We also have the two who currently live near Dallas, but are soon moving to Boston. We will now have an excuse to see the sights around the Boston area. I'd love to hear from my classmates. My e-mail address is MasonGaryL@aol.com.

 

January 26, 2007

Ken Addington: Help!  I need some good news to post on our Class Notes webpage. Regretfully, recent news has concerned the passing of several classmates. Your information doesn't have to be front page news or a news flash that would interrupt normal TV programming. Just update your classmates on what's going on in your life. New grandchild, career change, travel plans, retirement plans, new address, your hobby, etc. all make great items for our Class Notes webpage. A photo makes it better, but it's not necessary. E-mail me at mhs1964@att.net. Please pass this request along to other classmates.

August 7, 2006

Jerry Vogel: Nice website you've got here. I hope classmates will use it so we can recognize each other at the next reunion; who were all those old folks at the last one? I am still Supreme Director of All Bands at Martinsville West Middle School teaching many "grandbandkids." After many, many years, I relinquished my position working with the Martinsville High School Marching Artesians, and for the past three years my wife, Lisa, and I have been part-time Realtors. We have two grown, married children who live in Martinsville. Catherine is an RN working in OB and on the Medical/Surgical floor at Morgan Hospital. She and her husband, Sean, have one darling little boy, Jackson, age 2. Tom works at Morgan Hospital as well; he's the Webmaster and an administrative assistant to the CFO. He and his wife, Jen, have two boys, Dominic, age 5, who will start kindergarten in the fall, and Xander, age 23 months. We are fortunate to see them all frequently and enjoy the time spent with them. We feel very blessed living in Martinsville with our family and all the friends we have made over the years.

 

August 1, 2006

Kathie Ann Wilson (Munoz):  Our contractor has promised to start work in September. The materials and supplies needed to make permanent repairs to our home have finally started to arrive. You quickly learn that you're on waiting lists for everything, and you just wait until your time rolls around.

 

July 24, 2006

Herold (Bud) Ferrand, Jr.: Bud passed away July 22, 2006.

 

June 15, 2006

Kathie Ann Wilson (Munoz): We've certainly had our trials to deal with in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina. However, there have also been many blessings and lessons from it as well. I feel so guilty complaining about anything involving that storm, because we were fortunate enough to keep our home. We sustained roof damage and water damage to the interior and furniture. We have a FEMA blue tarp temporary roof. Our insurance company, like most, did not want to offer much for damages. Not nearly enough to cover the cost of repairs. Through mediation, we finally reached a fair settlement about 2 weeks ago. Now we can start repairs on the house and, hopefully, get our lives back to some sort of new normal. The debris cleanup along the coast is making tremendous progress. But, there is still much left undone. The bridges that cross the Biloxi Back Bay leading to Ocean Springs, and the one from Pass Christian going to Bay St. Louis and Waveland are still out. It will be a long time before they are replaced, and they are missed so much. We are struggling to rebuild in a traditional southern coastal style. Real estate investors are buying up land to build more casinos and high rise condos. We don't want to become another Gulf Shores, and I don't think that's going to happen, because there is so much support to re-establish the traditional cultural attractions from our area. My husband, Joe, and I are currently in Phoenix, AZ, visiting with our daughter, Dee, our son-in-law, Vince, our 7 year old grandson, Vincent, Jr. ....and a new addition to the family.....our granddaughter, Katrina Elyse Jasso, born on 5/5/06. Her parents say she was conceived while visiting us in Mississippi last August before Katrina hit. They had been trying for several years to have a second child. She was an answer to our prayers....and of course, she's perfect, and beautiful. Best baby in the world. But, we are not prejudiced....at all. I've gone back to work full time. I was retired for 8 years, and started to miss the daily grind. So, I've returned to work as a worker bee rather than a supervisor. Best regards to all my classmates. Please keep in touch.

 

June 11, 2006

Jacquie Alexander (Worley): Tom Koons' mother passed away this last week. I'm sure he would appreciate your condolences. Tom's address is 1520 R.J. Blvd., Martinsville, IN 46151.

William Johns: Retirement life is great here in the Carolina's. Looks like I'll make 60 in June. I've lost 50 pounds since November. My 36" jeans are getting loose.

 

January 20, 2006

Barry Kennedy: I thought I would say hello to all of our wonderful classmates. It takes courage for all of us (at our ages) to show our faults on the internet. I sent a picture of me with my first granddaughter, Kylie, taken this past Christmas. Kylie is 11 months old and has truly stolen my heart. I'm sure all grandparents feel the same way. I hope everyone is happy and healthy, and may 2006 be your best year ever! Thanks to all of our class leaders for creating the website, allowing people to communicate, and organizing our class reunions. Martinsville and all of you will always hold a special place in my heart!

September 30, 2005

Kathy Wilson (Munoz): I live in Jackson County on the Mississippi Gulf Coast, and we've all been severely affected by Hurricane Katrina. We are still without phone service. I'm utilizing the local Library computers to stay in touch. I'll sure be glad to have my phone service back. I miss my Internet! My husband, Joe, and I had minor damage, compared to most down here. We lost a portion of our roof and had some rain damage in the house. We also lost the roof off our shed, and carport, and some of the sides of the carport. But, our house is still very livable. My husband works at Keesler Air Force Base, and he's part of the Hurricane Recovery Team, and has been working 7/12 since Hurricane Katrina hit. Most of the news coverage has been of New Orleans, but we had much more actual hurricane damage here. Our beaches were destroyed, beachfront homes were destroyed....washed away with the 25-30' storm surge, leaving only sand, seaweed, and timber debris behind. Take care, and God Bless...cherish your day to day blessings and the routines you take for granted...they can be wiped away in a heartbeat! P.S. I would love to hear from former classmates of MHS class of 1964...stay in touch!

 

September 4, 2005

Ken Addington: We've added links on our home page to the web sites of MHS classes of 1962, 1963, and 1994. Enjoy your visits! Please let me know if you are aware of other MHS classes with web sites

Roger Dale Smith: Greetings – I want to add my thanks to Ken and others that participated in developing our class website. I have many fond memories from those days at MHS and I look forward to the future communications that can be shared through our site. My life has been filled like most with challenges, failures, disappointments, and successes. Fortunately, I’ve had more successes than failures and currently I’m the President of Lexicor, Inc. We are a technology company that has developed the first objective medical tool for diagnosing mental health disorders. Obviously, I’m very excited about our company’s new medical product and the benefits that it will provide towards improving mental health outcomes. My wife Elaine and I live in Augusta, GA, most of the time and we also have a home in Hilton Head, SC, which we visit frequently. My two children and grandchildren continue to reside in Indiana. Again, I look forward to the future development, stories and information that can be shared on our website. My best regards to all.

Barry Kennedy: We first thought Dad had Alzheimer's. Additional testing indicates he has a condition called NPH (Normal Pulmonary Hydrocephalus). It involves too much water on the brain and its symptoms are dementia, incontinence, and inability to walk normally, just baby steps shuffling. The treatment is a brain shunt that Dad had put in last fall, but unlike some patients who have immediate positive results and can attain a normal lifestyle, Dad is not doing well. If any of you would like to e-mail Dad, you can do so through me at barney@netzoola.com, or you can write Dad at Raymond Kennedy, 252 Carriage Chase Circle, Warrenton, Virginia 20186. He would be greatly thrilled to hear from the students he loved so much.

Tom Koons: Just wanted to let you know I received your post card. This is a good looking WEB site. After retiring with 30 years of military service my wife decided that I needed another job. I started in maintenance at Hydraulic Press Brick Co in 1995 and in 2002 they made me the Plant Superintendent. I have two sons, Wesley 34 and Patrick 29. Wes has 3 Daughters Maria 10, Rachel 7, and Leah 1. Pat has 1 daughter Ragen 6mo. Boy it is fun to spoil grandchildren and send them home to Mom & Dad. I hope we can make the next reunion. We would like to see everybody again.

Jacquie Alexander (Worley): I'm really glad to see you online! I am terrible at snail mail, but keep up pretty well on e-mail. I am a now retired Spanish instructor who taught at Clemson University in South Carolina and Vanderbilt University in Nashville, TN. My husband is Director of Engineering for Square D Company. We have been married for almost 37 years. During that time we have moved fifteen times. I personally love moving. Right now we live in Murfreesboro, TN. We have two children--Mike 32 and Christy 29. Mike has one daughter, Caila, 18 months old. Christy has two daughters. Disney is 2 1/2 and Alexandra is 10 months old. Mike and Amy live in South Carolina, and Christy and Tom live too far away on Martha's Vineyard, MA. I'm looking forward to checking the website regularly. Thanks again.

Ken Addington:  I retired after 34 years as an elementary school teacher and principal in the MSD of Martinsville.  My wife and I enjoy traveling, "spoiling" the grandchildren, and having adequate time to do nothing.  Last spring, we "got our Kicks on Route 66" by traveling from Chicago to Los Angeles on the old road wherever possible.
