NEHS Class of '75 Reunion

The 35th Anniversary of the NEHS Class of 1975 was held September 18th at the home of Calton and Jamie Hall.  Fourteen of the eighteen class members were able to attend, which is good considering that all but one classmate (who is in Tennessee and couldn't make this reunion) live inside a 50 mile radius of New Edinburg.

Class members present were: Carlton Hall (with family Jamie and Rachel), Nita McManus Ivy (with husband David), Clara Dupree Morgan, Gilbert Moring (with family Cheryl, Hanna and A. J.), Harold Langford (with family Belinda, Carlea, Meleah, Jonathon and Ashley), Tommy Green of Warren, Perry Dyer (and friend Shelly Stanley) of Warren, Dennis Davis (and wife Phyllis) of Sheridan, Harvey Splawn III (and wife Marilyn) of Camden, Lynette Parker Mitchell (and husband Bruce) of Rison, Daryl Atkins of Banks, Vickie Parrott Miller (and husband Sam) of Fordyce, Glen Brown of Fordyce, and Charles Taylor of Fordyce.

Also attending were three former teachers of New Edinburg Schools: Cindy Morris (Math teacher) of Kingsland, Odell Wolfe (and wife Patti; basketball coach and History teacher) of Warren, and Joann Hall (with daughter Nita Beth; First Grade teacher) of New Edinburg.
