I am so sorry to hear about Al Smith passing away. I think he was class of 74 I looked him up in the yearbook. I never knew him well but, knew of him . Another Tiger lost. Sending prayers to his loved ones and family.

Hello Fellow Super Class of 1974 Schoolmates!

We are starting to organize the 45 year Reunion of our class. To wit, there is a quick 13 question Reunion survey (when, where, what questions) on this web site that we would appreciate your feedback on ASAP.

You can find its link on the main page, in the left sidebar, uppermost item.

Thanks in advance for your inputs!

:-)

J.D. Webster - Enslaved assistant!

From George Hamilton - Reunion Committee Chair:

45th Reunion update: Venue and date are selected, down payment made, now for more decisions.

We'll gather on Saturday, July 27th, 2019 at the Monte Sano Lodge, in Monte Sano State Park. We have the Lodge from 10 AM to 10 PM, and it comes with tables, chairs and WiFi. Maybe Steve Williams (New Zealand), Barney Gilewitz (Thailand) or other far flung classmates will call in. Next decision is a caterer, and menu.

Note that we can have beer, wine or champagne and pour it ourselves, however if we want distilled spirits we must pay a "licensed server".

If anyone knows how to contact David "Catfish" Campbell, please let him know I'd like to talk to him as he has records from the 60th birthday bash.

If anyone nearby would like to visit the facility, we can do that most any weekday between 8 AM & 4 PM.

We need a decorations committee, and they might chose to do a visit.

Let's do this!

Karen Johnston (Lewis Dunning)

Can Steve Cannerossi get licensed as a server? Or maybe he knows someone.

45 Year Reunion Update

People are coming forward to make this happen. We will be needing more help soon.

George Hamilton is chairing the reunion committee.

He has secured the Monte Sano lodge property from 10AM to 10PM Saturday 27 July for the main event.

We will also be holding a Friday Night meed and greet similar to what we did on the 40th.

Rick Shrout is providing his usual sound advice and handling the funds. We have placed the deposit to hold Monte Sano Lodge.

David "Catfish Campbell has joined the committee and is coordinating hotel rooms.

Dan Pline has stepped foward and will be helping us plan and organize the Saturday events.

I am now beating the bushes to get volunteers to help us organize our Friday and Saturday gatherings.

What we need:

A. A group of people to help plan out and contract the catering for Saturday night. (4 people)

B. A group of people to organize and set up the Saturday open Tiger Spirit Picnic. (6 people)

C. A team of people to handle the set up and decorations for Saturday night. (6 to 10 people).

Current Reunion Committee:

George Hamilton / Rick Shrout / David Campbell / Dan Pline / J.D. Webster.

(we need females!)

From David McDaniel - Jeff Lee was a person alot of us knew. He was a good person and hard worker. Just learned of his death.

Jeffry Richard Lee, 64, of Huntsville finished running his final marathon on May 8, 2019. He is now running on streets of gold, being cheered on by his mother, Betty Jean Lee, who preceded him in death. Jeff leaves behind his beloved high school sweetheart and bride of 45 years, Lynn "Putter" Ottman Lee, and their three children and their spouses: Sean Lee (Amy), Jason Lee (Alicia), Shanna Inman (Jimmy), and bonus daughter, Becky Lane. Jeff was known as Grampa to eight beautiful grandchildren: Courtney Musso (Taylor), Rachel Lee, Graham Lee (Julie Miller), Grace Lee, Grayson Lee, Lexie Inman, Maddie Inman, Brodie Inman, and bonus granddaughter, Katie Medlen. Jeff is also survived by his father, Creighton "Jack" Lee (Sue), and his five siblings and their spouses: Joe Lee (Rita), Jackie Sneed (Mike), Bruce Lee (Lori), Linda Killian (Mike), and Bobby Lee (Linda); his in-laws, Bill and Carolyn Ottman; brother-in-law, Mike Ottman (Aimee); lifelong friends, Doug and Denise Patterson and Paula Bergmann; and loyal four-legged fur babies, Minnie and Mickey. Jeff was loved deeply by numerous nieces and nephews, friends, coworkers, clients, and everyone else whose path he crossed. Jeff was co-founder of Lee Builders, Inc. where he served as Vice-President/Project Manager for 35 years. Aside from work, Jeff spent his time outdoors, traveling with his family, and running marathons all over the United States. He was a dedicated friend, father, grandfather, husband, and most importantly, a servant of God. He was an active member of Willowbrook Baptist Church. Visitation will be from 6 to 8 p.m. Friday, May 10 at Laughlin Service Funeral Home. The funeral service will be held at 10 a.m. Saturday, May 11 at Willowbrook Baptist Church with Dr. Mark McClelland officiating. In lieu of flowers, memorials may be made to Mike Eden Ministries, Inc., home of Little Eden Orphanage in Kenya, Africa. This organization is one of many that Jeff served whole-heartedly during his time here on earth. (www.mikeedenministries.org/give) Although Jeff has lost his earthly battle to cancer, our Heavenly Father has won the battle for Jeff's life, and it is always so much better this way.
