Our
2001: Reunion Odyssey Weekend was a huge success. The entire Reunion
experience, from the first idea of it in February thru October 13,
was one of enthusiasm, humor, pleasure, & pride. We had a fun,
diverse (geographically & otherwise) group of volunteers. Email
and The Internet played a HUGE part in it as well.

Re-Cap
of Weekend Events
Approximately 270 Classmates & their guests attended our Reunion Events Friday Night Mixer at Barn Door - We guardedly walked in, unsure of who we would know, or if anyone would know us, but as the evening progressed, many old and new friendships were re-kindled. A good time was had. Thank goodness for NameTags & Reading Glasses. Also, earlier that evening, several members of Woodridge Elementary 1959/1960 First Grade Class, honored their former Teacher, Mrs. Evelyn Lee, and her husband at a nostalgic dinner. Members included: Walton Tassos Selig, Gordon Stevenson, Libby Castleberry Brocard, Mark Sullivan, and Shelley Daniel Janicek. Saturday Morning Living History Tour - Battle of The Alamo: Our own talented and entertaining Tom Jackson, a veteran living historian, conducted an enjoyable living history tour of Alamo Plaza in historical attire with flintlock rifle to explain the siege and battle of the Alamo. (Mannti Cummins "assisted" with his Mexican Vanna White gig) Alamo Tour - Tom Jackson ~ Alamo Audience ~ Alamo Onlookers Golf
Friday morning, 7 ladies & gents played at Brackenridge: Max
Wier, Dev Temple, Jim O'Brien, Jim
Gorman, Ginny Seymour Johnson, Meredith Wheeler, & Richard Clark.
Max qualified for having hit the most trees. Meredith and Ginny tied
for most ear piercings, Gentleman Jim Gorman was most eligible bachelor.
Jim O'Brien was discovered communicating with the squirrels. Dev was
Mr. Congeniality, as always. Saturday
Family Picnic @ the home of Steve & Shannon Gilliland Nisbet
- was an opportunity to kick back, enjoy a sunny October day, visit
with old and new friends. We also got to ooooo and ahhhhh over the
youngest child of a '71 Grad - Catherine Alice Jacob, daughter of
Lynda & Mark Jacob - what a little doll, but 'fraid we bored her
stiff, as she slept thru the afternoon. Thanks again Shannon for sharing
your lovely yard. Saturday
Afternoon Tour of the High School Current Principal, Dr. Linda
Foster, and Mrs. Mary Zuschlag (who began her first year at AHHS with
us in '67 and will retire this year) guided 65 Grads and families
on a wonderful, nostalgic tour. We turned back the clock 30+ years
as we clowned around the different wings, sat in the desks of our
former classrooms, filed up and down those old stairs. Plus saw many
great new additions to the campus. Good and Not-so-Good Memories flooded
back. The Biology Lab looked pretty much the same, tall black tables.
The Library has that same wonderful 'library smell'. New cafeteria
above ground. The Hoof Print is now downstairs instead. New cool Band
Hall. Mule Stall and Tennis Courts are long gone. Funny how the place
looks so small now - it seemed larger back on that first day in 1967. |
