Although I did not graduate with the class Senior Year, I remember so many looking through this website.  It is such a pleasure to recall all the wonderful people in our class.  Growing up in Oak Ridge was very special.  We were all very blessed.

Such a walk down memory lane looking through the photos… hard to believe so many years have passed.  Remembering so many friends of our youth..    Seems like we had a really special group of people in those formative years.  Everyone in the photos looks happy and the way I remember them.  So glad you have kept this going.  It really touched my heart.

I was grieved to see how many lovely people have passed.  Seems so young for many….at least 60 feels quite young to me at this point.

I come to this website so infrequently that it's always fun to catch up over time. I'm in Michigan...a proverbial eccentric ole cat lady choosing to live as a loner with no friends or relatives...by choice mind you. It's HEAVEN!!! Simple and free! No one I have to change for or give up my energy for any more! It's the best...and has served me easily and well during the pandemic. My two kitties are like having children or roommates...that's enough! Guess you could say I have two best friends...the Internet and my cable television...completely educational and entertaining enough for me. I've lived in 3 countries, traveled in almost every state crossing the U.S. 8 times and finally settling in Michigan to take care of my mother for 15 years until she died. Decided to stay and buy my first house so I could fulfill my dream of living alone with no obligations to anyone but myself, a well deserved/earned dream. Was a hippy for awhile in Canada and a missionary in the hills of Arkansas, in Mexico and on the Makah reservation in Puget Sound, WA, going back later to nearby Port Angeles to help run a B&B because I love it so much there. I've lived in FL, TN, GA, AZ, OR, WA, MI and probably places I can't recall at this moment. It's been fascinating reading on this website what you all have been doing with your lives and shockingly sad to see those who have gone before us. I hope my name won't be added for some time to come. There's probably more to say, but I'm hungry and need to fix an egg and cheese burrito! Hope next time I check in there will be more to learn and catch up on! RIP my once best friend Connie Thedford! May you horseback into eternity and somehow let us know you're nearby occasionally!

Through the years I often think about the great friends I had in Oak Ridge. I did not graduate from ORHS because my father passed away in May of 1965 and we returned to Pennsylvania. I was on the 1964 and 1965 baseball teams under coach Moody and Larry Works. I often think of the fun times in classes, especially algebra, where Linnhe Kopplin and I would tell jokes. Linnhe was a riot.
I attended Penn State and served in the Marine Corps in Vietnam,1969. My wife, Jean and I are married 46 years now and she is a blessing.
Hope all of you are fine and doing well.

Hi I'm with the 35th Infantry Regt Assn and we are looking for a picture of Benjamin Lee IV, whom may of been of the 1965 class. He was killed in action on 3/17/66. I hope someone can help us out we honor him on our website http://www.cacti35th.org/regiment/kia/kia_details.php?person_id=278&battalion=1st
As you can see his picture is blank.
Thanks

The missing last name for Mrs Douglas' Pine Valley 6th Grade Photo is
....far left, back row:  Merle 'Grizzell'

My family moved from Oak Ridge the summer after this pic was made.   I finished high school in '66 in McMinnville TN, University of Tennessee in 1970 and now live retired in Franklin TN.  

While not a ORHS '66 graduate, I am appreciative for all the work done on this website and wonderful memories I have of OR and Pine Valley.   That year I was nabbed by Mrs Douglas as I ran down the hill behind the school trying to get back from 'sneaking away for lunch' at Jackson Square. Plus, that year I was punished by the principal, Mr McGehee (sp?), for throwing Greecian meatballs on the school bus (I really didn't mean to hit the driver).....only to be selected Pine Valley May Day King at the end of the school year.....I think the May Day Queen was a Lynn Magers?

Anyway, thanks for the memories and thanks for all the hard work for your classmates.

My wife and I had an extremely good time at the reunion last weekend. Some people said some mighty nice things to me and I hope they think I returned the favor. Thanks to everyone involved. Sincerely, Wildcat # 78

I'm looking forward to this reunion. The last reunion my wife and I attended was our 25th,? It was a blast!

Hi ORHS66 classmates. I have uploaded some pictures to several of the Photo Galleries including reunion pictures...working on some elementary school and We Got Together pics also.   We really really need some pictures from our 10th reunion.. I obviously didn't take a camera as I don't have any of the gathering. Hope you enjoy the walk down our memory lane.  Guys lets get those registrations in to Hoyt and Lynn.  Info in the Reunions link.  The April 30 registration date is only about 1 month away and the reunion in just 2 months.  🎉

The 50th Reunion Committee has scheduled a Planning Meeting Wednesday, December 9, 2015, at 1 pm at the Oak Ridge Civic Center Craft Room. The Craft Room is the first room on your right as you turn left in front of the indoor pool. the Reunion is June 3-5, 2016, just 6 months away!

If you would like to help in the planning (and we can use the help), please attend. All classmates are welcome. There are several things we'd like to discuss to ensure this is the BEST Class of 1966 reunion ever!! If you are out of town or can't attend for any reason but would like to participate, please forward any ideas to me at lynn.eason@comcast.net.

Thanks, in advance, and we hope to see you on December 9.
