Hope everyone has had a happy and meaningful road to adulthood and prospects for a great old age. Hope to see you at the reunion. Karen

I hope the path through your adult years have given you many blessings and that you look forward to your old age. Any day above dirt is a good day. See you at the reunion. 

I was in the Class of 1970, thisweb site has really been a great trip back to our high school days.  I attended the Friday night festivities for the 69 class reunion.  It was great to see a lot of old friends, made some new ones too. 

It has been so interesting reading about everyone...I\'ve laughed, I\'ve cried! Anyway, I\'m sorry I missed the reunion but Chris Miller Monceret has filled me in! I hope to see all at the next one!

Bill Deegan 1968 Your class has a great website. Enjoyed seeing some old teammates and friends.

I am looking forward to this event and seeing many that I have not see since HS. Since I did not have a piciture in the Berry Classmates I will tell a little something about myself.  I am married to Alberto "Butch" Zaragoza who is the mayor of Vestavia Hills.  We will be married 42 yrs. this June.  We had twins, boy and a girl, that will be 40 this May and they each have 2 children, 3 girls and 1 boy.  My son Chris and Jana live in Vestavia Hills, my daughter Adelle and Nick live in Calera. I work for Noland Health Services as the Executive Assistant to the President.

Fabulous additions to the picture albums! Somebody needs to learn how to "tag" pictures like they do on Facebook!

I have been trying for WEEKS to work out a way to come but unfortunately I can\'t.  I am the chair of the Druid Hills Artist Market in Atlanta and am an artist in the show and in charge of 50 other artists! I just CAN"T believe the reunion is the same weekend.  I will so miss seeing everyone.  I\'ve loved the website and hope you will load LOTS of pictures onto the site after the reunion! I\'ve been married to my husband Roger for 35 years now and our 18 year old son, Alex, heads to college this fall. Memories from Berry are some of the best of my life. The closeness of the class is so obvious with all the work you folks have done on the reunion and with so many who plan to attend. I will be thinking about everyone the whole weekend!Joanna

Cannot wait to see everyone.  Thanks to the commitee for all their hard work.783c

 Was not sure I would make this one, but it looks like I can pull it off.  I will be great reconnecting with everyone.  Looking forward to the weekend.

Dear All...What a great reunion we had. I cannot thank the reunion committee enough for all your hard work. As I was touring the school someone commented that some of you were decorating at the Club. Many thanks for making it so memorable and so special. I loved seeing everyone and getting to talk to so many special people from the past. Some of you I went to elementary school with and some were friends from Jr. High or High School. It was such a good time and I thank everyone for all the memories that I am so grateful to have with so many of you. That is what we take with us from high school is the precious memories. Thanks to each of you for those memories! Marianne Howell Lee

I couldn\'t make the reunion but have really enjoyed reading about everyone on the website.  I have lived in California since 1976, but still love BAMA.  Let me hear from you all.   Patty

I attended with my wife, Celia Bryant, & really enjoyed the reunion.  I felt right at home, as many of your brothers and sisters were in my class.  Great job!  

What a great reunion!  Thanks for all the hard work from the reunion committee.   

Wow! I had a great time! The Odds & Ends were great! How many reunions are lucky enough to have a band from our past. And guys, you were hot!  I just did not get a chance to say hello to every one . wished we  could have one more day, since my slow memory finally began kicking in about events and folks from so long ago. I mean, some of you go back to elementary with me and the Brownies! Wow, this was a wonderful trip for me. Thank all of you for all the effort and work to make this special weekend. I can\'t wipe the smile off my face...Forty years...oh me oh my.

Still play the drums,ride a Harley and enjoying life.

Well fellow Bucs, in four short weeks we will be having our 41st year reunion.  It\'s gonna be fun to see everyone.  I have aged, but not like Mike Goebel, have you seen his picture on the Classmates page.  See you in April.Jimmy Ray

Wow! what fun. I thank all those who put the reunion together. They did a wonderful job and I\'m grateful them. To all my classmates it was great to see ya\'ll and hope we keep in touch.

I loved seeing everybody Friday night and Saturday afternoon!  I think it was a fabulous time!! I hated to miss Saturday night, but I heard it was wonderful....thanks to all who worked so hard to make it a special time!  Great Job!!

Many, many thanks to the Reunion Committee.  Great Job!  You even managed to plan the weather.  If you could only have slowed down time.  So many people to see, so much to say and so many memories to share.  Great to see all of you.  I am thankful to have had the opportunity to see all of you and remember some of the best times of my life.

Dear Class,I had the most wonderful time.Thanks for all the  fun.Love and Peace,Woody Forsythe 

What a kick! Wonderful to hear the marching band play Hoorah for Berry, Tequila (and Berry's anthem?) after allllllll  these years. Does anyone have any "Crow's Nests" from 1968-69, 1969-70 or 1970-71 ?

I am looking forward to seeing everyone at the reunion.  Thanks to everyone who has been instrumental in planning the reunion and creating the website. :)

What a fabulous site! Thanks to whoever put it together. I won\'t be able to attend the reunion, but thanks to this site I feel like I have. I know you all will have a great time. I saw Rick Northrup\'s posting about looking forward to spending more time with his grandkids. Can you believe we have grandkids? Aren\'t they great, and don\'t they make you feel both old and young at the same time?

Geeeeeeeeeeeeeeeezzzzzzzzzzzz I looked at the 1969 Berry classmates and recognized everyone.  I looked at the past reunion pictures on the website and recognized about two people... I think.  I am sure very few of you will recognize me.I left Berry HS in 1967 or so bound for military school.  Yes, I deserved it, but it worked wonders.I really look forward to being reaquainted on 04/16 as we twirl to the "old" music at the pub.  I REALLY love to cross paths with people not seen in years if not decades.Sam

Hi Everyone!  I am very excited about our upcoming reunion.  I haven't lived in Birmingham since we graduated and I cannot wait to catch up with you all.  A Big Thank You to the committee members for their dedication and hard work.  Don't forget pictuires of the grandchildren because I won't!  Hugs, Bev 

We are still in Georgia.

Living in Florida waiting on retirement to arrive in order to spend more time with the grand kids. The websight brings back many memories. Best wishes to all.

Hello, fellow old timers!  I hope the last 41 years have be exciting, healthy and happy years for my former classmates.  Our class had a lot going for it!  The reunion site is excellent and I thank everyone who contributed to it.  My husband & I will be in S.C. that weekend, unable to attend.  I\'ll be there, in spirit, dancing the evening away & singing our old favorite tunes with our old band & laughing with my old pal Benje.  I moved away from Alabama so many years ago & was amiss in staying in touch with close friends.  Have a great event!!  

I was 2 years behind and didn\'t get to be a 1969 class member,but it is always a part of me since I made it to the 6th grade with most of you that remember Mrs Gary. Visit me on facebook under "Just John Miller " and see what I\'ve been up to. I get to see Joe Terry and others from time to time at a few events around Vestavia Hills. Sandy and I live up and behind Party Time in Vestavia Hills now for the last 5 years.May God bless and I am so glad this site is here.

I was a year behind you guys (class of \'70) but what a great website! I enjoyed see the pics of folks I played ball with a knew fairly well. Otheres, I remember the names and faces and it was a joy to see them again. I was saddened to see so many that I knew are no longer with us. Great job! 

I plan to attend the events with my fiance. I am delighted at the large turnout list. I am looking forward to seeing many people that I attended Vestavia elementry school with! I had open heart surgery in Nov. I am glad I am not on the memorial list! See you all there!What fun!                                 Bart Tarpley                                

Thanks to those who set up this web site. Its a lot of fun. Ironically, I was early to a meeting in Birmingham today and rode by Berry and my old neighborhood (Regent Forest).  Berry actually looks a lot better than when we went there and the old neighborhoods around the school stilll look good too.  Hope to see everyone at the reunion.Tom Dart

I am looking forward to the reunion. The last one is still fresh in my mind.I moved to the Pensacola area 9 yrs ago and got re-married. I still go up to Hoover often to see my  mom, son (Flynn King), brother (Eddie)  and sister(Genie).

I can\'t wait to see all you "old" people. As I look back at my \'69 yearbook...it is painfully obvious I am the only one who has not aged.  :)

I am so sorry to miss the reunion.  We will be attending a dear friend\'s rehearsal dinner and wedding the weekend of the event.  I would love to visit with classmates during the day on Saturday.

We are in store for a grand weekend of fun and fellowship with our classmates during our April 16 and April 17 Reunion venues.  This will be a time to treasure as we reconnect and develop more memories to add to our "good ole\' days" collection.  Looking forward to seeing everyone there!!

I am still kickin'!

Looking forward to getting together soon with old classmates. Robert

Thanks, first of all, to all who set up this website.  It has been really fun to travel on this way-back machine and visit high school history!  I look forward to seeing  many of my Berry classmates at New Orleans Food and Spirits on Friday the  16th. Myrna

I plan to attend the reunion with my husband. Hope I recognize someone, and better still, someone recognizes me!
