And a good time was had by all of the 28 classmates who met on June 7, 2008 in the Sheffield High School Cafeteria. George Aston, Pat Logan and Billy Newton left before the group pictures were made. Mike Holland arrived later.
Three classmates traveled some distance to join us: Buddy Phillips and Jo Ann Blackmon from Arkansas and Mary Ellen Pitts from Memphis.

From James Wiley on 6/1/08 Just wanted to tell you that James Wiley is on a 2 week trip with 8 other men on their Gold Wings. They left Saturday morning and rode 552 miles to a town in Oklahoma. This evening when he called they were in a little town called Teucumacri, New Mexico. They will be back the weekend of the 14th. Debbie
From Wiley Montana on 5/12/08: Greetings to all, A am so sorry that I cannot attend the June reunion. I enjoyed the event last year so much that I was really hoping to attend. I will be in Dallas attending my grand daughters high school graduation. Please give my best to all. God Bless. Wiley
From Donna Blackburn on 4/10/08: Gene & I will be in New York City with part of our family on June 7. I really regret having to miss the reunion. I know a great time will be had by all. Hope to have lunch maybe with some of the girls when we are in Sheffield in May.
And from Dottie Cochran Rogers: "We won't be able to attend the reunion in June. I will be in Italy with my two daughters and granddaughter. We have been planning our girls getaway for some time and are soooooo excited about it."
