Is it still there?
Larry,
Looking forward to seeing you.

Yes the airplane is still there. Â The owners are trying to get it designated a historical site. Â If you have money to spare I am sure they will accept it. Â Still sits in the same place on the same sharp curve. Â Hope to see you this summer.
I was Margo Couch in high school. Â I married Jim McEver in college but divorced. Â I got a B. S. in Educ (social studies) but never got around to teaching. Â I've lived in the Cincinnati area since 1973. Â I remarried 20 years ago and worked in a law firm as the records manager for 28 years. Â They started downsizing last July and a month after my husband retired from FedEx I was retired witn him. Â Over the years I've filled our basement with crates of silk flowers to make wreaths and hopefully I will have time to create now. Â We've rescued four greyhounds over the years and they are my children. Â Not long ago I tracked down Annie Johnson and we talked for hours. Â It was interesting that we share some of the same political views. Â I love to look at the pictures of the reunions you've posted. Â Thanks for this site. Â Margo
After many years in the business world (Icee drink business,) Â sold the business and I retired for 2 weeks then ran for Judge in Miss and have been active Judge for 15 years. Â Live on farm and raise minature horese
My wife, Julia, and I are now residing in Sevierville, TN taking care of my parents. Â I retired two years ago. Â My daughter in Virginia told me that she had received a card regarding the ORHS Class of 1966, so I am now aware of this site (which is outstanding; congratulations to those who worked on it). Â I will be on vacation during the reunion but I will certainly miss seeing classmates. Â I was saddened when I paged through the 'in memory of' section. Â So many people I cared about that I knew had passed away but some I did not know about. Â Anyway, life goes on, so I would like to hear from any of you who so desire. Â Drop me an email at harrygrisham@charter.net and I'll try to email you back.

Just want to say hello to everyone. i still live in Phoenix, Arizona, and plan to stay here. Ann and I are married 40 years, she is not a Wildcat but she turned out pretty good! I still work for the Post Office here ( remember, stop e-mailing and start writing letters again!) and will for a couple of years. We enjoy horseback riding in the Superstion Mountains ( still looking for the Lost Dutchman's gold) and just staying active and positive. Scott Freels lives in Boise Idaho with their two children and daughter Tracy lives in Apache Junction Arizona with their four children. i will not be able to attend reunion as will be in Boise for a couple of weeks at that time butwish I could be there. I so much enjoyed the 40th, it was so well planned and organized. I just exchanged letters with Danny Foster but I seem out of touch with old friends in Oak Ridge, mostly my fault. if anyone is coming to Arizona anytime soon e-mail me and I will help plan some things to do and see, it is really a wonderful and beautiful state. If anyone wants to get in touch with me, e-mail. i'll always be glad to hear from Elm Grovers, Jefferson Jrs and ORHS Wildcats. My very best to everyone, good health and God Bless.
My 't have been another 5 years. Â But a quick look at the calendar and worse, alook in the mirror confirmed the sad fact that time is flying by. Â I don't know which upsets me more= that it has been 45 years since I was 18 or 18 years since I was 45. Â Much as I would love to see everyone and catch up on all the news, I already have travel plans for that weekend and won't be able to join you. Â Needless to say, I really hate to miss Morton's amazing shrimp.
I did find my way to the class website and saw all the pictures. Â I need to go back and update my contact info. Â You were right 5 years ago, everyone looks exactly like they did in High School. Â Just amazing how the years fall away. Â Except for quick trips to visit my parents' graves, I haven't been in OR since my mother dies 11 years ago. Â I understand from a friend who makes the trip regularly, that more often than not, the momento of the trip is a citation from the traffic cam.
My husband died 2 years ago and my children live in South Florida. Â My feet are finally on solid ground again and I am often on a plane bound for Fr. Lauderdale. Â If you find yourself in middle Tennessee, I would love to see you. Â Thanks to all of you for organizing these events and keeping the flame burning.
I am happily retired from the TN Commission on Children and Youth as of Jan 4th 2011 (YEA!!) and am currently working on my Bucket List. Â One item on my list is to spend the night in the Lodge at the top of Mt. LeConte. Â I have this scheduled for the weekend of june 17th, so I won't be there to celebrate the 45th reunion with the rest of the 'wildcats'. Â My Best to Everyone out there....
It was great to see you all at the reunion. I want to repeat to all the invitation I extended to some of you personally. If you are going to be in the San Francisco area, please contact me and we'll get together and have some fun. My contact info is in the 'Contact Classmates' area of the website.
