Saturday night at the Manila Bay Restaurant.

Grant, Shiela Oglesby Linscomb '82, and hubby Gator.

Ft. Walton Beach Midi Tonight was beyond words. We had over 62 attend - including significant others. The wonderful part is around 11 came from reading the newspaper article. None of them had heard about whoa. One guy, "Jay" Erin Miranda'73, just came to the Manila Bay just to check it out. The guy did not know a thing about the reunion. There we were all were, and he
was shocked to say the least. HE went to Wagner. All the new people that came tonight, including Jay, have had little or no contact with anyone since the high school days - so we felt their excitement. There were a few more that knew about us before, but came for the first time to any get together. Donna Smith,61, is going to post the list of alumni tomorrow, but I wanted to post the people we found in case any of you out there find someone you know! Quite a few are planning on registering with whoa soon. Ken Morgan,71 and Donna Smith did a fantastic job of organizing the event and they deserve all the credit. The newspaper did not mention either of them - and I hated that - because they worked so hard!
Here are some of the people that just found out about whoa.
Rey Bailey,75
Mike Padilla,77
Jason Rakocy, 84
Jim Johnson,74
Marilynn Burton,80

There are two more that Donna will need to add.
Also, coming to a reunion for the first time were:
Diana Henderson,76
Jimmy Given,76
Mr. and Mrs. Hinch
Katrina Hinch,87
Mike Tatum,71
Conrad Rhoades,71
Sally Loback,80
Arlene Butler,76

I know I am missing many - but Donna will help me out later. There were many highlights, a room full of talent and excitement , and we were even able to sing Happy Birthday to John. He celebrates his birthday tomorrow.

Ohhh and...Belden.... Arlene and Sheila were in the same room. We missed ya bud! :) Actually, we missed all of our friends that were not there. That crept up in conversation ..... man, I wish so and so was here! In spirit, all of you were! And Diane,69 - your list for San
Antonio just got a little larger! :)
