Message on July 27, 2007: Hello to
all.
I am alive and kicking in Atlanta GA. My family and I have been here
going on 12 years.
I am sorry I was not able to attend the 30th reunion. Judging from
the pictures, it appears it a good time was had by all.
Seeing the pictures of all of your brought back many, many great memories.
I will never forget all of you and the times we had at BGHS. |

Message on July 3, 2007: We could not
make it out to Chicago to attend the reunion, but after reviewing this web
page, we can see how much fun everyone had and wish we were there. Brent
Jarvis is alive!! Its like Elvis for the class of 76’. Denise, still
looks totally the same and hasn’t aged at all. Must be some secret
to all that oil in Brent’s garage/’s. And, Jim Green, if your
photo from 1976 was not on your name badge, I could not have convinced Will
that it was really you! You guys should have talked Leaky into going too.
Jill Allen’s photo wasn’t tagged with her name, however that’s
a given, she looks identical to this day. What are you ladies using? Well,
Vegas is a bit closer to Phoenix so hopefully we’ll get to attend
that big-bash.
Great job in organizing all of this information you guys. |

Someone said that everyone is the same just in different bodies for the most part. It's fun to look back in time and see how high school positively impacted my life. God bless! :) |

It was greta fun to see everyone again and just have a chance to catch up on our lives thirty years later. It is amazing the places we have all gone and things we have done. What a great group of people. While I won't be turning fifty for another twenty years....I do plan to be in Vegas with all of you! |

| Message on Nov 07, 2006: I had such a great time I didn't want to go to sleep. So I didn't! Old friends, like old books, deserve to be revisted. This affords us the opportunity to rehash old times, catch up on the years gone by, and perhaps discover a fresh perspective on a past classmate. It may be unhealthy to live in the past, but it was sure fun to visit it for one night. |

They hit the nail on the head!! It really is about the energy/chemistry we all share. It is awesome after all this time, we just 'tic'. It was like we never lost touch, everyone meshed so well, had laughs, fun, and dances til we could do no more! Great description guys because it explains it all! Debby |

| Message on Oct 14, 2006: I concur - a total BLAST! Very cool to see everyone and to walk the paths of our shared memories and history. The chemistry is still there, the energy is still there, and you know what? The bodies haven't changed all that much either - we're all essentially the same. Thanks committee! Like Debby said, it was perfect. Did anyone else notice Hoffy dip his beer in the chocolate fondue?
Just kidding (I hope.) Everybody take good care and God Bless.

| Message on Oct 06, 2006: ...hey, I was watching the Barrington High School Homecoming Parade last week and they had a float from their class of '76 and two things struck my mind -1) Those guys are really old. I mean really old! I can't possibly be as old as them. -and 2) we didn't even have any alumni at our homecoming.
See you tonight, go check out the pictures in the main hall by the cafe' and see my son, Nicholas Terrell, class of 1999 National Merit Scholar Finalist. (got his good looks from me but the brains ???) |

I'm helping the reunion committee to locate some of our class' "lost sheep" (as Jane K-B calls them), including people who left the area before our senior year...as well as some of our long-lost-but-never-forgotten classmates from Rand JHS! There will be people attending this event that you never EVER thought you'd see again! That's a promise! |
