Thanks to everyone for your kind words and comments. I was truly humbled by this unexpected award.

I hope everyone is doing well.

Debbie Moore (Griffy)

Hope everyone is doing well. Please everyone include our friend and classmate, Carlene Brown, in your prayers. It is my understanding she is having some serious health issues. Please pray for her complete recovery, and for her family.

Debbie Moore (Griffy)

Want to wish everyone a safe & wonderful Thanksgiving, & tell you all how thankful I am to know you. As time goes on all of you mean more & more to me. Wouldn't  trade my time with you guys from Central Elementary/Junior High nor having  been a part of the Class of 1971 for anything! Love all of you!  Debbie

Mike Wells

Well said, Debbie!!!

Keith Locke

As we all start to reach this point in our lives, we can certainly see how true your words are Debbie.  Ditto on the Happy Thanksgiving and thanks for the memories!!!

Jane Eblen (Thomas)

I, too, would like to extend my wishes to everyone for a Happy Thanksgiving and Holiday Season !  Thank you Debbie for getting the ball rolling. 

Having just returned from my husband's 50th high school reunion in Florida which consisted of a class of 800+, I realized how wonderful it was our 1971 class was a bit smaller.  We REALLY knew just about EVERYONE at CHS which makes our reunions so much more special!

All my Best to Everyone for a Happy, Healthy, and Blessed year's end! 

Hugs to All!

Jeanie Wilson

At this age & stage of our lives we have all had our share experiences. I believe that the time and environment we grew up in played a huge role in how we managed those experiences. I am blessed as a result. Also, blessed to have grown up with y’all. 

Happy Thanksgiving to each of you and your families.

Jeanie 

Lisa McGill (Miller)

Ditto!  Thanks for sharing your thoughts because I have always felt I lived in "Mayberry" and I began to wonder if I just lived in la la lnad and just imagined it.  I am blessed to have lived in Shelbyville because of the people and so glad I graduated in the class of '71.  Thankful for you!

Jeanie Wilson

It was Mayberry🤗.  I always said I had a Leave it to Beaver upbringing. I am thankful for you!

Patricia Robertson (McHaffie)

Thought I was going to be ahead of the game before the hustle and bustle of Thanksgiving begins but I see some of you have beat me to this.

I just wanted to wish everyone  very Happy Thanksgiving and if you are traveling   please do be safe and have a good holiday but a happy return home.

I can also chime in on the conversations of living in a small town. Around Halloween and the holiday season I really ponder on how everyone knew everyone in the neighborhoods and even on streets over from where you lived because we all went to school together or church together and some of us had older brothers or sisters that we knew so therefore we’re knew other class ages. Kids now days do not have this privilege.

I am so thankful this year at Thanksgiving to have known all of my fellow classmates and cherish the friendships and bond that we have had through all these years and I do hope will we all continue to be close and keep in touch for several more years to come.

Counting the rest of today...there's 21 shopping days left 

Inside 20 is panic time 

Debbie Moore (Griffy)

Hope everybody is getting into the Christmas spirit! There's nothing quite like it!

Keith Locke

Just wanted to let anyone who might be in the area know, you might want to drive by the old high school.  Whoever bought it has taken all the plywood off of the windows and there are two Christmas trees by the front door.  The old building actually looks like it has some life in it again.  And while I'm here I'll just go ahead and wish everyone a very Merry Christmas!  Seems like life is always trying to knock us down, but now above all times we can focus on what we all have been blessed with.  It is easy to get down at Christmas, but I hope everyone stays positive, like Debbie said, and stays in that CHRISTMAS spirt.   Best wishes to all and to all, MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!!!

Gary King purchased the Old Central High School. He is restoring the building. It is rumored that he may move the museum that his father, Fire Chief Garland King, started into the CHS building.

I'm afraid I have allowed time to get away from me again this year, without sending Christmas cards (thanks for all that I have received!). Please everyone stay safe and have the best holidays ever. Love all of you. Merry Christmas!

Patricia Robertson (McHaffie)

Sending this message to all my classmates of 1971 and their families. As we get older and time goes on we realize how fragile life is and we are not promised tomorrow. We have lost some of our loved ones this year but we go on with our day to day lives.i send this message hoping that you all have a VERY MERRY CHRISTMAS and that you enjoy every minute that you have with family and loved ones. Also hoping you will have a FABULOUS 2019. Even though our paths rarely cross during the year I love you all and think of your often.

Grant Hitt

Merry Christmas y’all  from the Hitt family 🎅🏻
