If you have some--either digital image files or prints from film cameras--please share them with us. Those of you with digital cameras can probably burn a CD with the images you want to contribute and send them by U.S. Postal Service, or, if you just have a few, you can attach them to an e-mail to Louis. If you have prints from a film camera, send duplicates by the Postal Service. Click here to go to the page that describes how to send stuff for the website.
If you have video tape footage (either digital or VHS), and will share a duplicate of it, you will get the coveted RC Cola and Moon Pie for your contribution.
INFORMAL SOCIAL FRIDAY NITE AT JEAN GARDNER ESTES'
Peggy Wynne Taylor
Peggy sent these really great photos from the reunion breakfast and a couple from the Sock Hop. See how nicely she got everybody to pose (and smile)! This is a great addition to the collection, and she's promised more later.
Peggy supplied the legends for her pictures. That's a nice thing to do if you send photos.

Jim Kimbrell
Jim Kimbrell knows his way around photography, especially the kind that is
used on websites. His collection of photos from the Sock Hop is just
great. He got the shots of Jim Holland's late arrival and the
enthusiastic welcome some of our female classmates gave him, "Kissin'
Jim!"
Louis Buettner
Louis (that's me) can't take in information unless it is somehow presented
graphically. That's why your website has about 300 megabytes of
pictures. He was somewhat restrained, though, at this reunion
because he knew he would be getting all the candid photos that Leslie
would take. Nevertheless, here are a few of the ones he took on his
little "point and shoot" camera.
Sam Malone
I've only gotten one of Sam's photos so far, but what a one! Here's Kissin' Jim at work again, this time with Joanne McMoran Jeffreys.
Patsy Bell Congleton
At Jim Holland's post-reunion celebration dinner for the Reunion Committee, Patsy slipped me a CD with photos taken by her and her friends at the Sock Hop. She said the pictures were taken to document the decorations her committee of very few had prepared for the sock hop while everybody else was at breakfast, but there's some great shots of classmates, too.
