20 years ago, a class of 150 17-19 year olds walked the make-shift stage of the gynasium of M. D. Collins High School in College Park, GA, with plastic red graduation gowns and matching cloth cap, most after spending 5 years together, from the lowly Sub-freshman(8th grader) in 1983, to the mighty, exalted Senior. Little did any of us know, as we started jobs and adult living, joined the military, or enrolled in college, that we would never see each other at a 5 or 10 year reunion. Our only reunions over the years would be a chance meeting along Old National Highway, or somewhere around Atlanta. Miraculously, a group of classmates decided the wait was over and that no matter what, it was time for the "MD" Class of 87 to meet again.
A photo of some of the planning committee and other classmates from one of the 3 "pay-in-person" meetings, so cleverly organized by the Class of 1987 Reunion Planning Committee:
Brian Campbell
Tracie (Gardner) Reid
Tony Gaines
Renee (Jones) Smith
Nicole Turner
Keyna (Watson) Leach
Erin Wales
Bonita "Sue" (Clark) Jones
A Very Special Thanks to this group for not giving up on getting us all together!!!!
