It's about bloody time you got here, Walt McCool....

Unlike Max I'm surprised you took up being an attorney after the mock trial that was held in Mr. Blakely's class. I thought you were going to blow a gasket LOL.

Brad Powell

Unfortunately, I will not be attending this year. Some things have recently changed that is going to prevent me from attending. But I hope everyone has a wonderful time.

Hi Everyone,

I heard from Charles White this week. He wasn't able to attend the reunion because about a month ago he was diagnosed with mantel cell lymphoma. Please keep him in your thoughts and prayers as he goes through this difficult time.

He opted to try an alternative treatment in Washington and comes home this Saturday. He has a long way to go before he's out of the woods so please drop him an email to let him know you're thinking of him. charles_st_joseph@yahoo.com

Hello! Just wondering if there will be a 40 year reunion in 2015?

Hard to believe that it has already been 4 years since the last reunion.  I have been checking out a few things on this page and realized that our "In Memory" section has not been updated in a while.

At our 35 year reunion, someone had information on those no longer with us.  Would it be possible to upload the information and pictures that were displayed at the reunion?  Maybe there is someone that would be able to update the info once a year.

I enjoyed our last reunion very much.  It was the first one I was able to attend.  Those planning did a great job!  Thank you.  I look forward to seeing everyone at the next reunion.  ~~Judy

Hey there Y'ALL! I am looking forward to the reunion in 2015! I will be in St Joe off and on this summer (but gotta stay away from those Chiggers and TICKS!)  been back several times in the last year and half, after dad died, but didn't know where y'all are hanging out!  Went to the park through Christmas and New Years, wow! What a sight! Well, keep in touch - I want to contribute to this one. I can be reached at 214-453-9969, txt or voice or face talk, it's all good!  So, where do y'all hang out, where are the good hangouts?

Janet Lawson (Ries)

Glad to hear the 40 year (yikes) reunion committee is established!  Looking forward to more information as things progress.  If there is any way for me to be involved, I'm a phone call, email, facebook message away.  

Deborah Starr

I am glad there will be a 40 year reunion and I hope and pray I will be able to attend this one.  i would love to see my classmates again.

I had the pleasure of eating dinner with Paul Langemach, his wife Nancy and Kevin Kiner at a suprise 29th birthday party for Mark Shepards wife Suzanne.

We discussed the upcoming 40 year reunion and Paul said it was going to be lonely because he and his wife Nancy are the only ones who had signed up to go.  So, I assured Paul that I would attend along with my wife Kim.  So now there are going to be four of us at the 40 year reunion!

I would ask that if anyone else is planning to attend to please let Paul know because it is really hard to plan for an event without knowing how many people are going to attend.  If it's just going to be us four, we can move it to my living room!

Thanks,

Bill

Paul Langemach

Thanks, Bill -- We're looking forward to the celebration.  The planning committee is hopeful to have reservations and funds turned in by the end of January.  We'll be better able to determine how much or how little we can do based upon our response at that time.  See you and Kim there!

Paul

Mark Shepherd (Shepherd)

I have now signed up to attend!  It's starting to get a little cozy for Bill's house.  We need some more to sign up!  Come on class, get signed up!  Let us know if anyone needs assistance with the sign up page.  This is going to be FUN!  It will be great to see everyone!

Janet Lawson (Ries)

Paul, check is in the mail -- registration complete.  One thing ... I am sending additional $50 for now or future ... entered quantity, but cash column didn't register.  Just an FYI in case you try to balance registrations with funds received.  Join me, classmates ... sure would like to see everyone ... remember how much fun the 35th reunion was?  

Tanama Jenkins (Ernst)

I registered with a "plus one" - hope that is ok...

G. William (Bill) Davis

Just wanted to say how much I enjoyed visiting with all of you Saturday night.  It brought back a lot of fond memories of years by gone.  I'm sorry I didn't get to visit with everyone but we'll make sure that happens next time.

Thanks to Paul and gang for putting on such a good party.

Bill

Alex Hinkle

Sorry I miss everyone. I was looking forward to the evening. I hope everyone had a safe trip back home.

G. William (Bill) Davis

Hey Alex! 

Your name was on the list and mine wasn't so I just told everyone that I was Alex Hinklle.  They were amazed at how much weight you had gained!

G. William (Bill) Davis

Hello.......Is this thing turned on?   Anybody...anybody..?

Holly Mackeral, there are a lot of responses/notes I haven't seen.  Unfortunately, I have forgotten so many of your names, let alone the faces after 40 years.  I know we have all changed, so pictures only help so much.  On Sunday, I was showing a guy I work with a picture taken in 1982 (I still looked the same in those days, except for the blonde mustache) when I was in the USAF.  I was stationed in Germany, but we were deployed to England at the time.  There was only two of us in the photo and he has never seen me with hair, since I have shaved my head for many years.  He looked right me and asked "is that you"?  I said yes, and all he did was chuckle.  I was afraid to ask what the chuckle meant, so I just let alone.  Sometimes you just really don't need to know everything, especially at our age.  I wish I had my yearbook with me, but it is in dad's house back home.  When I get home the next time I will see if I can find it.  I wish you all well and I hope ol' Charles is going to be okay.  I will keep him in my prayers.  God Bless you all!!!

So I was thinking of maybe attending the Friday night reunion but can someone tell us about the appetizers/food 
and what exactly happens at these since I've never attended before?  My wife and I would be driving from Colorado
so it is a costly thing already.

I just viewed the new posting for the 40th reunion pictures and I have to say I recognized almost no one. Sorry! Betty Hays 

Robert S. Conner

Received an email from Paul Langemach where he asked, 'do you know of a missing person?'  *  My answer: Yes, Rick Nigh.
One day I was on Facebook at 'St. Joe, Missouri - Places and Things We Remember' (a St Joseph history site on Facebook),
when an old friend let me know that Rick had passed. I've searched all the yearbooks 72-75 but no picture of him is shown.
Today I reached out to his sister (May 13, 2025) who was a few years behind us but went to Lafayette also. I am not sure when
Rick's Dad died but the house they were in was right out front of Lafayette's main entrance (north facing south). What I remember is
when Rick's Dad passed he dropped out and it may have been before school pictures were taken. From then on, until I lost track of
Rick he took on odd jobs and repairing cars to help his Mother and sisters out. If his sister responds to me I will get the exact date
of his passing and let Paul know so it can be entered. Because he could have graduated if his Dad had not died and he continued with school.
Does anyone remember him?

OK, my sister, Eva (Black) Gilmore has spent HOURS helping me and Jerome with the music line-up for our 50th LHS HS Reunion 2025!  So don't be a no-show ~ I pray that all who are able to attend can be there for this milestone event!  I cannot wait to do Soul Train lines, dancing with all of you... and we shall certainly be paying tributes to our classmates who have gone on ahead of us.   SADLY, we have lost a lot of people in our class, earlier and recently.  Safe travels to you all ~  I shall see you at check-in table on Friday night!  PEACE, Love and SOUL (Train) !  Go Irish- Class of '75, Ain't NO JIVE!   ~ Marta Black Curry

Hello Paul (or whomever knows), 'Is it possible to add music to the 1975 Music tab on the lefthand side. Some unknown person has placed 1 MP3 song from 2005 which definately is not my taste or from the 1975 era. * UPDATE Paul asked, what music tab. Not sure how it looks on eveyones page but on my page there are tabs on the left hand side and the 5th one down from the top says 1975 Music. A lone MP3 is there from 2005 and it has nothing to do with 1975. Paul also had a concern about copyright = by my observation though everything is up for grabs.... and Facebook, Youtube, etc. ignore copyright. If the 2 largest platforms are not concerned neither should we be.
