Sorry I missed the festivities,looks like a good time was had by all, I know Bill Peak and Micky Pitts and Turk had fun because they are old.  I wish I could have been there, but work is necessary, Missed the lottery.  Mike Settle

What a hoot!  I had such a great time, but still didn't have enough time with everyone I wanted to reconnect with.  Come to think, I think we're getting to the age that we ought to have reunions every 5 years.  Or as Becky Birdsong suggested, we could get together for a smaller affair when we all turn 60.  Are you listening, Committee members?  I would be glad to help since I'm in the general area.I hope we'll have another opportunity to order the DVD.  Also, did anyone pick up my cheerleading uniform after the party Saturday?

Now that was fun.  Thanks again committee for all your hard work.  Great to see that no has really changed at all.  There are a few exceptions but only for the good.

What an incredible weekend!  It was so good to re-connect with the good people of 1968.  I know I won't be a stranger to my old school-mates anymore.  Special thanks to Ricky, Bonnie, Kathryn, Jane, George and ALL of the reunion committee for putting together a weekend that exceeded all expectations.God Bless Us, Everyone!Bobby

Jan, I'm with you - just not enough time to spend with everyone!  Maybe we should form Women's and Men's Clubs and get together informally more often - then have another party when we're 60.  What amazed me so much was that within seconds of talking to each of you, I felt myself right back in the close friendships we had in high school - there was no unfamiliarity at all!  Please let us know how to order the new DVD as I left Sat. night without ordering one.  

I'm sorry we missed Saturday night- looks like ya'll had almost as much fun as we had Friday nignt.  It was wonderful seeing everyone.  I thought we had some greadt folks back then... we have just gotten better !  Hopefully we can go for the 60th birthday party.Shults you made my night.

There must be some biochemical link that brands our minds with a chemical recall of relationships long past and lets us revisit those warm feelings that never left but just got masked by other, newer, encounters.  You people are branded in my recall and are that unique set of friends that will never leave me.  Some of you date back 52 years, not just 40.  All the way back to Miss Wilder' first grade at old Thomson School.  I was amazed at how absolutely familiar it was to be with you again.  Like a favorite old shoe.  Such chemistry.  Even with a lifetime of experiences between our last encounters I felt so comfortable Friday and Saturday with all of you.  It was like coming home.......Ann Lombardi, no guarantees on finding Mr. Right but I'll keep my eyes open.  Better send me the specs and let me know whether to send a picture or a balance sheet.  Surely someone our age that loves to travel has some money somewhere!  You and Jan Kubicki were the best lab partners ever.  With your brains and my dissecting skills we had to earn that A.  Dissecting Squalus Epiphelias was, after all,  just cleaning another fish!!Thanks Rick and Bonnie and everyone else on the committee for stepping out to make this happen.  And Lynn, thanks for the phone call.  I love you guys!  Bill

I returned to SC today .  The Saturday night part of the reunion was just wonderful.  I had a great time--just wish I could have had more time to visit with everyone.  Thank you to all of the committee members who took care of all the details so the rest of us could enjoy a wonderful evening.  I am so glad that you found me and kept calling me--I would have regretted not being there with all of you.  I can not believe that I had so little trouble recognizing my students!  I knew you the minute I saw you standing in that room talking with someone.Rachel

We are putting together a directory to post so everyone can get in touch with whom ever they want.  What do you want to share.  You can use the Contact Us  side bar to send us what you want published.  We snooped  for  a good bit of the information and we don't want to publish anything you don't want published.  But, we hope we will get contact direction from everyone, so we can keep in touch....%^)

Yes, we're still together after 34 yrs. of marriage and can't believe our 40th reunion is this year. We have two wonderful children and two precious grandsons, who we spend alot of time with. We live in Decatur,love our life, and are excited to see everyone ... we would love to hear from any of you.

Funny how things happen.  We invited our new neighbors to dinner Saturday night.  The dinner conversation took several twists and turns and Jennifer (the girl part of neighbors)  said her father went to Briarcliff (we had not been talking about Briarcliff, it just came up).  Jennifer is Jennifer Goza, daughter of Horace Goza (class of 64, I believe) and niece of Faye Goza (class of 67).  Got a story of your own?  Why not share it!

I just got back from having lunch with Stephanie Tiffin Yearwood and Gail Williamson Haubenestel, by chance Stephanie is in town from Phoenix.   We had such a great time remembering the old Briarcliff days and catching up on life!!! Ya'll please contact any old friends and urge them to log onto the website. It's going to be a reunion to remember.Photos were taken today and Steph. will post them when she gets back to Phoenix.

I have met Rick tonight and wanted to post that Corky Corcoran was right. Our school colors have always been Blue and Silver, nothing else.I know you are going to have a great reunion.Horace

Hey there!      Sorry I didn't realize until now that the "Barons & Baronettes" link was the place I was supposed to put my news. If the webmasters would like to zap my lengthy post under "News of All Sorts," no problem as I added my news to the right heading on the website.     Great to have seen many of y'all at the Friday pool party. Sincerely hope you enjoyed yourselves Saturday night too. Alice Holley Duncan, please give your neighbor a call one day to fill me in on everything I missed, ok?     Take care & keep in touch. And Bill Bell, I'm counting on you heavily to steer some eligible guys my way. I have just six years to accomplish my goal by my self-imposed deadline. ;-)Ciao,Ann   

It was so WONDERFUL to see everyone at the reunion!!  We hope you all had as much fun as we did and  we can't wait to see all the photos that get posted to the website.Does anyone have post reunion let-down?Maybe we can get Mary Shults to do online counseling with us at a group rate!!

I told my sister Martha that being with ya'll exceeded all my expectations. Ricky's words  spoke to my heart. we were very fortunate to have grown up when and where and with whom we did. It was joyful joyful being with ya'll again. I'd find myself looking at ya'll so engaged w/ one another and "took mental pictures" of your energy and the fondness I was feeling towards you. Thank you all for being in this most recent moment and for the absolute celebration of our lives we SHARED. We must post send pictures. I cherish you.

Steph & I won't be able to make it to the bar-b-q, but what about this---we have a lake house on Lake Burton with lots of "party room" -- we would like to host a weekend get together.  Clayton, Ga. is only 20 minutes away--lots of beds there.  We're thinking the week after labor day--or whenever.  I would like some feed back on this idea.  Oh yes, you can check it out on VRBO.com---listing 161855  (on lake burton)

Just a quick shout out to all my fellow Barons...the ones I haven\'t harassed out on Facebook.  Wishing I could have made the recent BBQ event.  I think of you guys often. My daughter is a Freshman at Franciscan University in Steubenville, OH...their mascot....  Baron!  Very cool.  Keep the faith y\'all!Bobby

Hi everyone:  I just wanted to take a moment to say THANK YOU for the great responses that we have had in the last week. I can’t say “thank you” enough. The Reunion Committee has worked very hard to pull this together and to make this a big SUCCESS and the very BEST Briarcliff reunion!! It all started last August when several of us from Class of ’68 were at the Class of ‘67’s Friday Night Get Together for their 40th reunion and I started talking to several of our classmates about putting our 40th Class Reunion together. I was surprised at how many people offered to help and were excited!! The Friday Night Get Together that the Class of ’67 had was an absolute blast! It was so much fun seeing people that we hadn’t seen in 40 years and rekindling old friendships, not only with classmates from 1967, but also 1966 and 1968! We had our first meeting in November and we have been meeting every month since then. In fact, they end up being mini-reunions and we have so much fun talking about the things that we did, etc. Our reunion committee consists not only of myself, but Rick Corless, Lynne (Barfield) Waller, Jane (Wallace) and George Reed. Billy Pinckard, Bobby and Kathy (Reynolds) Poole, Lynn Farmer, Tricia Gaston, and Kathryn (Underwood) Hill.    So, now this is what I need from everyone. First, please send us information and stories about what you have been doing since graduation, send pictures of you and your family! We want to hear your stories and see pictures. Also, send us pictures that you have from elementary and high school. We will also be putting together a slide show for the reunion, so PLEASE send pictures, etc.    Also, if you are planning on staying at the hotel and haven’t registered yet PLEASE do so ASAP. Blocks of rooms are being held at a discounted price, but only til the end of July and then they will start releasing them.  RSVP for the events that you are planning on attending! There will be a tour of our old Alma Mater on Saturday morning, August 30th. Just in case you haven’t heard, there is a chance that the school and stadium could be demolished and this may be the last chance that you get to “walk the halls”, see your old classrooms, the gym (or what used to be the gym), our Senior Courtyard, the cafeteria. I will be your “tour guide” for this event and you will be amazed to say the least about what you will see!!!   Look at our “Lost and Found” section of the website. If you see someone’s name there and you know how to contact them, PLEASE do so and let them know about the reunion. Or, you can send us their information and we will contact them!! We still have a lot of people that we can’t find and really need help in locating these people.   Keep checking our website for updated news and event information. And, THANKS again to everyone for helping to make our 40th Class Reunion a big success and LOTS OF FUN!!!   See you at the reunion!!!   Bonnie Bowen

I have recieved several emails regarding by brother death.  I sincerely appreciate eveyone's thougths and prayers. Randy was 36 years old.  My Dad remarried after my parents divorce and had two kids.Even though Randy and I were 20 plus years apart we were very close. He was an incredible human being.  He was married with two kids, 2 years old Samual and 6 years old Charlotte. His wife's name is Sarah. Randy was a dedicated husband and father. As Director of Governmental Relations with Publix Supermarket he touched alot of lives. Always positive, upbeat, people just wanted to around him.  There were over 1200 people at his service. Randy and Sarah were our neighbors for a couple of years when my family lived in Marietta. Every Sunday night for 2 years Randy and Sarah  came over to our hourse for Sunday dinner.  My kids are pretty vocal and we would get into great discussions about a variety of issues and in most instances those discussions became pretty heated.  Randy or Sarah at the right moment would say something histerical and defuse a otherwise heated moments.  My kids were teenagers at the time and Uncle Randy and Aunt Sarah were pretty cool.  So Randy's death had a huge impact on my kids. None of us can believe ihe is gone.  The Florida Senate passed a Resolution last week that declared April 18, 2009  as Randy Roberts day, that day happens to be the same day Univeristy of Flroida blue and gold game, signifying the end of spring practice.  Yes, Randy was gator always a gator. The world was a better place with Randy on this earth.  As you can imagine, we miss him dearly. Sarah has established a Foundation in Randy's name.  The Foundation will focus on kids and how to engage them in the political process and their communities. I wish you guys could have met him, he was a Class of 68 kind of guy.  

Still in Atlanta

Hi everyone. I'm still around. Married with one daughter, a granddaughter & grandson and 5 step childeren and 11 step grandchildren and 1 great grandson. Amazing to have found this site.

Hi everybody - I live in Lawrenceville with my husband of 29 years and 4 cats.  I'm a lawyer for the GA Supreme Court and have 2 kids - my daughter was Miss GA USA 2003 and lives in Atlanta, working for Turner Broadcasting, and my son has a PHD in neuroscience and works at the Med. Univ. of SC in Charleston.  No grandkids, much to my chagrin!   Can't wait to see everyone - thanks so much to the organizers!

Hello from a '65 grad!  Glad to see some familiar names-- I must have known your older sibs!-- and impressed that so many have stayed in touch.Hope to attend an annual event, now that I know about them--even if it means a trip to (shudder) Atlanta.

Hello everyone. If you were a member of the band or the chorus, please check out BHS Music Department Alum on Facebook for news on the reunion.

I just received the news that Mike Robert's younger brother, Randy died suddenly over the weekend -- he was 36 years old.
