Lost & Found


A year and a half ago, when I began compiling a contact list for our 30th reunion, I couldn't find Don Johnson. His name appeared there, on the that list of missing classmates in the right sidebar. I sent a postcard to his childhood home in Holly. Crickets.

Recently, I logged onto Facebook and did my daily reunion check of new Holly High School Class of 1980 classmates and there he was. Just like the rest of us, Don was there with the help of one of his kids. Little did he know that he was about to reconnect with 100 classmates through his keyboard.

I don't know how I had so much trouble finding Don, his family is large enough to qualify for their own zip code. Don and his wife Joan, have nine children combined and a new grandchild, their sixth. Congratulations Johnsons!

One minute Don is missing and the next minute a reunion deposit check from the great state of Tennessee arrives in my mailbox for Don and Joan. Blogspot high-five.

This is what I'd like to call "Anonymous Classmates Dressed as Santa."



...as well as Santa's helpers.


Life's a Beach for Classmate Marianne O'Neall Knight

One of the class of 1980's favorite funny girls planted her toes in the sunny sands of Florida. She and her husband, Bill, have a professional sand-sculpting business called Sandlubbers. Click on the title for a link to their fantastic website, filled with photos of their work. Looks like a lot of fun!!!



Congratulations Marianne on your fasinating life and beautiful family!!!
