Comments:

The reunion was another memory of sharing some time together. Successful in what we each made of it. Honoring Stanley and Ronald made being back together this time very special and just seeing each other a very good thing I only wish every one had been able to be there. THANKS FOR BEING PART OF MY LIFE!! be


THIS IS MY STORY AND I AM STICKING TO IT:
Graduated MTSU in 78- Partying and Education Major more partying than education.. Sold avertising 2 yrs TN , VA & NC Universal Plastics. Then taught 6th grade Murfreesboro City Schools 5 yrs, Factory Rep selling to Engineers at plants in mid Tn for 3 different companies for 6 yrs. Founded Innovative Funding Inc in 1991, 19 years ago. We attend Edgehill Methodist Church, have worked closely with Habitat for Humanity, Nashville. We believe we must give back what we have received! Andrea is an elementary counselor at Paregon Mills in Nashville. She is an angel and the best thing that ever happened to me, and my best friend and partner. I don't know what I did to deserve her but it is with much thanks that I have her by my side. Met her Dec. 6th 1987, Married March 15th 1988 knew first night we met she was the one. Bless her heart!

It's been too long since I have seen so many of you. I am excited to know that we have this opportunity this coming fall. We all shared so much together in our young and innocent days. And as I look over your pictures I have so many happy memories of classes I was blessed to have with you. I hope that everyone is having a yearly physical to be proactive! It was with one of these that I discovered that I had early stages of prostate cancer. Flew to Mexico and had a treatment that is used around the world, but not approved in the US. Dr Whitson Lowe flew down with Andre and I and did the procedure. Going on 3 years now and I am great!! And I want you to be too!!
For Real, BEN " Remember me not for what I've done, but for the other things I had always meant to do" Love you? I am you!
School Story:

Enjoyed being apart of any and every group that would let me be a part of. I always enjoyed everyone for who they were never met a stranger. I talked too much and was often a victim of having done so. I was always for the underdog and hope I stood up for those less vocal. Enjoyed laughing and having too much fun. If I ever teased you, offended you, or hurt you please forgive me for my faults. As I grow older I know how rich we were in each other and how lucky we were to have shared these times together. Ben

It was an amazing opportunity to get to see so many of our classmates. Just seeing friends that I had not seen forever was so rich. Being together stirred so many memories and thoughts of those times we shared. It was just too short to really get around to 100 old friends. There were many of you I had intended to spend more time with, but before I knew it was over. I wish we had had all afternoon to talk and into the evening. I am grateful for the wonderful group of leaders who made this all possible. YOU ROCK! We are rich, We are blessed . WE ARE THE CLASS OF 74... I am proud to be a part of each of you even in the smallest ways. Let's all work hard to stay off the wall until we meet again. We were young, we laughed and cried as children do along the way, we shared and shaped each other in ways that have lasted a lifetime. For this I will always be touched and grateful. Love you all, Your "old" friend Ben

As the sands pass through the hourglass, so do the days of our lives.... I now appreciate each grain as we have fewer and fewer. We are visiting 10 new to us National Parks on the west coast. The Rockies were great, Dinasaur National Monument in Co was crazy cool. The Flaming Gorge National Recreation Area in Utah and Wyoming was breathtakingly wonderful. Headed to CA, WA, OR, and across the top to see Glacier again. When we finish this 38-day adventure in our Winnebago TAVATTO van we will have visited 44 of our National Parks of 63 total. We also visit important art museums. Denver has a collection that is so fine! Presidential homes and libraries are always a fav too. Know your history and maybe you won't repeat it. LOOKING FORWARD TO RECONNECTING ...one more time. Peace be with each of you until we meet again.
