Emmett Reeves:  

Life Well here in 2006, I'm twelve years divorced after a fourteen year marriage which produced two daughters and a son. I now have three grandbabies who brighten the world daily. I've never really left the area, having lived in Mesquite the bulk of the years, however I now live in Garland. Some people probably saw me at the Skillern's Drug Store in Broadmoor Plaza that I managed several years following graduation. Immediately following graduation in 74 I attended and graduated from Eastfield Jr. College with plans to attend Stephen F Austin. Perhaps you may have seen me at the soccer fields at Eastfield several years down the road when I coached youth recreational soccer for thirteen years. Due to life circumstances I have failed to attend previous class reunions until the Decade of the 70's reunion which was October 27-28, 2006. It's always good to hear and see old friends from school, so if you want, write me at focus21 at verizon dot net and let's catchup on old times. Also, if you are interested, there is a group of us attempting to stay in touch, come find us on MySpace. School Ok, I probably didn't standout much during my school years as I was somewhat shy and usually hung around with a few close friends and fellow band members.

Oh yes, there were a few busted lips from marching band which you probably can relate if you played trumpet or trombone, that is until I learned to keep the bell inside the line of fire. The band probably was better known for the lights out drill we performed during many a half-time show. If you participated then you probably remember how much fun it was removing that flashlight which was taped to your ankle. My sophmore year, the band was allowed to attend an out of state function again. Evidently several years prior there had been an issue of some sort where the band traveled to California and someone got into trouble. Anyway we got to go to the Tri-State Competetion in Enid, Oklahoma. We stayed at the Holiday Inn downtown Oklahoma City and all of the girls were placed on one floor, 3rd I believe, and the guys on the 8th or visa versa. There was also a chorus competetion held in the area at the same time and within the same hotel. This was around the time that streaking was popular and someone from that chorus did this on the same floor as the girls. So the guys and girls had to swap floors. Then two years later, my senior year, we traveled to San Antonio for a competetion and were placed in the San Antonio Inn outside of town and near nothing but a small convenience store. During this trip we visited the Botanical Gardens and the Alamo. Several guys purchased Bowie Knives there. On the way back home we stopped to tour the Innerspace Caverns. Some of us had finished and ...Expand for more
