So... the rest of the afternoon - Salinda, Richard, Paul and I went by to see Aunt Polly at Tishomingo Living Center. Then they went to Walmart and visited his brother, and we went home and rested!
At 6:00 we gathered at Homestead for more visiting. There were more class members there who hadn't bee at the park earlier in the day.

Facing: Jennie Osborn, Peggy Cornelison Wadkins, Tressie Grisham.
Sam McCune, Jerry Holly, Eddie Thomas.
Frank (Eddie's brother) standing, Brenda Brown Irwin, Billie Burk Thomas (Frank & Eddie's mother; she is 98 I believe) and "danced with her pointy finger and her cane when the Playboys played!); Joe Robinson shaking her hand, Mimi Gaines, Suzanne Pruitt.

And the Playboys! Douglas Nixon on keyboard, Ray Thomas (not in Paul's class) drums, Tom Drake, sax; Eddie Thomas, trumpet, Terry Lambert guitar. There was another member Randal "Moose" Mansell in pictures from the time they played in school. I'm not sure but don't think he is living.

It was a small room for this group and they kept moving and talking to each other! made several shots so hopefully got all in one or another.

And the class of 1966 who married four of the old men in '64. Sandra (Glenn); Fredda (Sam); Pat (Paul); Susie (Jim).
Best I can figure, this was from the 40-year class reunion. Paul thinks this is Joe Robinson, then him, Tommy Drake, Earl Walker, Terry Lambert, Richard Dexter, Glenn Bugg.
Paul with Terry Lambert, Terry's wife, Doug's wife.
Jerry Holly trying on one of the football/school jackets as Barbara Brown looks on. (Does that sound like a yearbook caption??) I had one and it got lost. Nancy Brown with yellow purse; Mimi, Nellie. Jerry lives just up the road from us and I bet I have asked him at least twice (not on the same day!) his name. Next time I see him jog past I'm gonna call out his name. So he won't think I've lost it. Or maybe then it'll be confirmed.
Borrowed photo from Eddie Carson: IHS first undefeated football team, members, 1964. L-R: Donnie Brown, Joe Carpenter, Eddie Carson, Jerry Holly, Hayden Ables, Sam McCune, Glenn Bugg.
And a good time was had by all.
