Hello classmates and friends of Sheffield High Class of '56! Welcome to our website, a place where all you sons and daughters of the mid-Fifties can take a trip down a nostalgic "Memory Lane" where it took its twists and turns along the high bluffs on the south side of the mighty Tennessee River in the little town of Sheffield in northwest Alabama where we grew up.

You're at "Nostalgiaville"

We'll reminisce with you about the good times we had back then, share with you what has happened in our lives, entreat you to help improve this website by your contributions, and, most of all, remember the faculty and staff of SHS back then when we were young and full of enthusiasm and ambition. High school was the time in our lives when we first got serious about making careers and leaving home, and our teachers were the persons who were most responsible (along with our parents) in helping guide us in the directions we took.


	No doubt, you've gotten a call from John Collins, who's in the process of writing a book answering the question, "Whatever happened to ol' so-and-so of the SHS Class of 1956." He wants to get your side of the story, so, if you want to have any say-so about what he will put into the record about your life after high school graduation, write your memoirs or an outline of what has happened to you since 1958 and get in touch with John.

	Luca! Do you remember my trying to get you to look for Elvis photos a couple years ago? Well the fellow who wanted them to illustrate a book from Graceland about Elvis' early years, has contacted me again. This time he wants stories memorabilia and photos about Sam Phillips, the originator of Sun Records and the one who introduced Elvis to the world . . . . the one who started the recording industry known as "Muscle Shoals Sound." If you've got something about this Coffee high graduate (Class of 43--I guess) that you want to share with the world, contact me and I will put you in touch with Luca!

GUYS & GALS! This place is not finished yet! That's because we are depending on you classmates who have some of the following to share them with us by sending them to our webmaster who will incorporate them into this website.

· Snapshots and photographs from your high school days

· The missing Hi-Lites

· Other memorabilia from our high school years

· Memories of your high school events and experiences

· A tribute to your favorite or most influencing teacher

· Memories of your reunion experiences

· Updates on your life after high school
