My mom went to Forest Hill, I think in 1949, and played basketball there. She later won a basketball scholarship to Mississippi College. Amazing how long this school has been around!

Bill,
Thanks for your work on this. Just got through looking around and reading the history. Discovered things I had never heard of.
This should be cool.
Everbody , add your stuff. Bill will be putting the foundation together and you can add photos, comments and etc.

Bill, Excellent work on this. I appreciate what you are doing. Looking forward to our 30 year reunion. My dad graduated from Forest Hill in 1947, so I agree, the school has been around for a long time. I still have his yearbook from back then.

Wesley, you are so awesome for what you do and the Nascar-how cool-sounds like you stay busy.I have know idea how to do all this stuff-my 19 y/o is at ECU in NC for compt. technology and can do it all-I feel so embarrased. If you come to the Darlington,SC race in May maybe you can give me a quick lesson. I only live 12 miles from it and plan to go to the race with my "little" E shirt on! God bless

Thanks Peggy. I won't be at Darlington, but I can definitely help if you need it. Shoot me an email, and maybe we can work out a quick remote lesson.

Bill and Wesley, this site RULES!!! Super job! I've enjoyed seeing where everyone is now! We're all over the map. Personally, I think that's great. Hope we can find some "missing" people that seem to have fallen off the face of the earth. Kepp up the good work and look forward to seeing all of you in August!

Wendy, thanks, but Wesley has been pulling most of the load! Hey, it has been about 20 years since the '87 reunion, but I think I remember that you married Louis, right?

Bill, GREAT memory! Yes, Louis and I have been married for 28 years and have 2 children and 2 grandchildren. I can't believe you remembered that!! What a scream. I'll let him know. Looking forward to seeing you in Aug. if not before.

Louis, Wayne Divine, Marty Langford and I have quite a few memories together, mostly centered around "rough-house" football... usually in Louis' front yard. I have vivid memories of those days. Please tell him I said, "Hi!".

Thanks for extending the invite to those of us that went to school with y'all for a while but didn't graduate from FH. Just seeing the list of names & recognizing some was such fun.

Wesley, Bill, you guys rock. This site is so special to all of us. Other than not being able to figure out how to edit my name (li'l d and li'l b need to be capitalized, my OCD coming through), I'm tickled and so proud of you guys. Thanks so much for giving us such a wonderful gift.

To everyone at the reunion, and all of those who planned and prepared.... FANTASTIC!!! It was so nice to see so many faces from the past and what a wonderful job everyone did. I heard comments like "our reunion was no where near this good", "yall must have had a really fun class" and "such good and fun people in this class". This was from husbands, wives, and friends of our classmates. Isn't that great. I would just like to say again, Thank you and it was really wonderful seeing everyone again. You all look great!!! Looking forward to that Turning 50 cruise!!???? Hope so anyway. Everyone keep up the goodwork and keep in touch. Hope to see you soon.

Wow was this a fun time. My heart sank when i saw everyone and thought of how we all have changed, and also how some still look exactly like i remembered. the highlight of my night was dancing with people and watching william thorthon have a blast. its easy to look into someone eyes and see straight through them and know exactly what their thinking. i saw happy people having a great time and remembering old times. thanks to all of you for being friends and thanks to the committie for working so hard to keep us TOGETHER. dont forget your friends and keep your hearts open for changes.......see u
