The Welcome Back John Causey Get together Sat. night was
wonderful. I want to thank everyone who helped with this
event: Gary Skocdopole, Devereaux Jones, Ann Deets for
the cake, Sharon Sellers Dunn for working on the memory
book for John, Glena Megee Taylor for being my sounding
board these past few weeks & getting us hooked up at the
Tin Star, Donna Gleason for your hints and suggestions.
And of course, Leland Grubb from way out in Albuquerque
for all your help too. It truly does take a village to
do one of these get togethers, no matter how small or large. I have come to truly appreciate all the effort
and time that goes into putting one of these together,
the thoughts,concerns,and fretting that go along with it. My hat is off to those behind the big reunions...OMG-KUDO's to you all!! And I have to pat David Fulp's band on the back once again..you guys were fantastic.Thank you for putting on a great show for us! God Bless you all, and to each and everyone who came to this. It meant a lot to me, and I am sure it meant a lot to John as well. Again John, WELCOME HOME!!!

PHOTOS:check out a few of the photos on my profile page
right here and go see the entire album posted on classmates.com.*click on class of 73 events, then click
on Photo albums tab.Thanks again all.

I want to thank Gary Skocdopole and Terri Jones Casey for remembering my son in Iraq and honoring his service by sending him a 'care' package. You guys are great!


Terri did bring up an interesting thought:

Are there other classmates of ours who have relatives serving our country? Please identify yourselves and your relative!

I'd be glad to send an extra box to others and I bet our giving class would join in as well!

I came into town on pretty short notice, but Terri went out of her way to get a few people together for dinner at Ted's. I would like to say thank you to her and all of the people that showed up. I had a great time and enjoyed seeing everyone.

Conni Ohler (Eckstein)

I've added photos of my son's return and our welcome home festivities from last weekend. So glad to have him home at last! That chapter is over! Whew!!
Thanks to all of you for your support and prayers. I appreciate it! Conni

To Dale Housley and Kelly Rake:
Prayers are going up for you by many many of your
classmates. And when you think of so many prayer 'chains'
as well, how those prayers for you have multiplied, you
can both be assured that God is in control and He is all
over this. Hang in there, and please keep us all posted.

Devereaux, Gary Sk, John Causey, Jera & Donna---all; I
thank so much for everything done to pull this off. Wow
is all I can say---I don't think anyone could have
ordered a more perfect night or event. I have to agree
with Gary...why would anyone miss something like this?
One evening out of an entire year is not so much to set
aside. I can only imagine how this is going to grow, I
heard several people from the other classes say to please
let them know the next time we "do any-thing"!!! I really
think they truly enjoyed this!! Not even so much the event itself, but the gathering together and seeing one
another, reconnecting, just to even meet classmates you
may have never known back then...that is awesome too. Oh
my, I see how right I was last summer at noting some very
unique and special spirit, if you will, among this great
group of classmates. I cannot explain it, but now I see
how it has infected the other classes as well. Please,
if you have missed any of these get togethers, try to
make the next, and you'll see for yourself. You will not
regret it one bit. There are many of us who would love to
see you again!!! We are, after all, BAHS-73 PLUS---!

OUR ''40th'' YEAR REUNION!!!~~ 

was a 2 night  PHENOMINAL  event!!!! Thanks so much to Devereaux for getting all the details lined up to make this a very special and wonderful event, and to all those who helped at each planning meeting, and all the ''worker bee'' details that went into this. Everyone did a FABULOUS job!! Thanks to Ron Lambeth for doing our Grilling at the Tailgater, to Paul Little for bringing the big ice chests full of beverages, and just anything and everything----we had a great turnout and as always, we were graced and blessed again with perfect weather---6 times in a row!! Wow!

 

Satuday night was WONDERFUL.....at both nights we had a good number of classmates we believe came for the very first time to any of our reunions, it was GREAT to see them!! The photographer took a lot of candid shots and did a GREAT group photo of us.....be watching on here soon for photos to come in and get loaded. Everyone looked just great, and I know I had a GREAT time, I hope everyone else did too. If you did not come, I want you to know, you really were missed, and because we have now lost 37 (that we know of) of our fellow classmate family.....I stopped to take a good long look around that room Sat. and snapped every face in my photographic memory bank....because 5 yrs from now as we all are hitting at or  near our 63rd birthdays, we have no way of knowing if any of those faces there on Sat. will make it to our next one. I don't mean to sound somber here, but it's a hard cold fact of life. Please remember this, when tempted to sit out opportunities to come to these, and that is, even if ''you'' personally didn't feel like you cared to see anyone, there may just have been someone there, perhaps travelled in from some distance, who would have just LOVED seeing you: for I have learned  that we never know what impression we may have left on someone even if it was over 40 yrs ago. We can show lots of pics on sites like this, and facebook, etc..but there is NO way anyone can relay all the stories that were shared, all the laughs, and all the warm happy hugs shared all night long....that's some of the things in life where ya just ''gotta be there''  Sooooo, I, among a great many, truly sincerely hope, to see you at the next one. Gosh, 2018....sounds foreign to say!! But it will be here before we know it!! :)  Enjoy the pics when they post!!!!

BAHS 7th TAILGATE PARTY: Fri. Sept. 26 @ BAHS Football Stadium/Athletic Bldg.

In this photo, Ron Lambeth is giving a nice little ''speech'' for Devereaux, as he has passed on the torch, for leading & organizing our class get togethers & reunions. We gave him & Debbie a small token of our appreciation. Our utmost thanks for all the many years he has worked at this, and our best wishes for all they have plans for in their future.  If you missed this event, you missed a great time. 7th year in  a row that we have done this and had perfect weather every single time! Plus BA beat Yukon on this Homecoming Game night! It was an awesome night. I hope more of you will come to the next one; it's EVERY Homecoming Game!

This is our 9th Annual event, and is always a lot of fun for a nominal amount of money. Please come and join the fun, bask in the nostalgia of homecoming excitement, and connect with a lot of classmates and fellow alumni you might not have seen in many years! HOPE TO SEE YOU THERE!

I have been doing some ''Cross-Referencing'' here and found it interesting how many of our classmates are on one site but not the other; and very astonishing at this time to see how many are on neither.

For instance; scanning down the names on our profile Roster.... I found, to the best of my knowledge, that there are 44 people who have registered on our web site here, but are not on facebook (to my knowledge)

On the flip side of that, I find that there are 26 people who ARE on F/B yet have not ever registered on our web page here.

But here is the big clencher! To ''MY'' knowledge, there is a total of  87!~~who are not on EITHER site! They're not on FB and NOT on our web page either one. Out of that number, many are among my ''missing'' ones too...a total of 42!! These are ones I cannot locate or have any contact info on...based on the roster HERE... I have more names on my missing list that are not listed yet on our roster. Also worth mentioning here; the fact that there are so many not hooked in, those are ones I have to get word to either by email or SNAIL mail. It would be a dream come true to not only find all these people, but also convince everyone else to get registered on this wonderful site OR get on f/b where they can be reached much faster and easier. :)
