Left to right: Mark Plagens, Jane North Lyon, Chris North, John Plagens, Julie (Hodge) Grant, and Johnny Grant.

Also attending were Mark's family and Lois North, (Chris's mom), who "spent several years supporting our Brent years in her own right!"

Chris North writes: It was refreshing--we remembered things long forgotten, and learned things about each other we never knew. My impression was that without the hormones, dreams, and juvenile plans of our youth in the way, we were really able to relate to each other as lifelong friends -- probably felt better about each other than when we were in school!

Of course, except for family, I hadn't seen anyone there in over 30 years... Wish you could have been there, Surf -- you would have liked it. One of these days I'll make a special effort to head your way for a reunion...

Johnny Grant sent in these 2 photos from a Fall visit by the Ponnamperuma sisters.

Photo #1: (Left to Right) Mali (Ponnamperuma) Whaley (66), Johnny Grant (66), Julie (Hodge) Grant (67), and Sharmini Ponnamperuma (67). Photo was taken in front of the Grant residence in Rockwall, Texas.

Photo #2: (Left to Right) Mali, Johnny, Julie, Clarence Alan "Surf" Langford, and Sharm. Photo was taken in Garland, Texas at a friend's house where we attended a Filipino Party with lots of Filipino food. Had a great time. Mali and Sharm look just like they got out of Study Hall. They look great. Alan is himself.
