Debbie's Story
Hey Guys, Helllooooo to Everyone!!!Hope all is well with you and your family.I'll get right to the point of this message.I have a daughter who is a junior at GEHS and she participated in a Powder Puff flag football game this month. OMG that was the coolest game I've ever seen. Well, my thoughts got to wondering, WHY didn't we do thatseveral years ago, when we were juniors and seniors. Well, I've been asking around to our "Class of 80" classmates and we came up with a WONDERFUL idea.Why don't we challenge the Class of 79 to a Powder Puff game this upcoming year, 2009! Hold on, I know some of you are thinking, Is she nuts? Well maybe, but I think this would be the funnest thing ever. We would also get our male classmates involved as well. We will need coaches and cheerleaders as well as Spartan Spirits! I've dropped this idea to Valerie O'Brien, class of 79 pres. and she is going to talk to her classmates. Ladies, I know that we all get together at our reunions and talk about the meds that we are now taking, so let's see if they are working. lol I realize that do to health reasons, some of us would not be able to play, BUT we sure would need you on the sideline for support. This could be a two year game. We play the class of 79 at their reunion and then we have a rematch at our 30 class ...Expand for more
reunion, the summer of 2010! Or we could start something, like the class of 81 challenge us at our 30th reunion.
Ladies and Gentlemen, don't delete this message right away.
Think about it. This could be a hoot. We could play at East.
Charge admission for this event, (proceeds go towards medical expenses, lol), * UPDATE* Proceeds would go towards Project Graduation! We could bring back coach Zopp for support, Mike Kidd could do the announcing, hey we could even get Mike Williams to announce the GEHS "With Pride"marching band to run on the field and do our National Anthem. ( which would include alumni!)I could go on and on with this, but for now I want to pass the word around, to see if we have the interest. Remember, we need as many participants as possible, subs are important!OK, stop laughing and calling me names, this could be a very memorable time. Trust me, game time would not be long and time outs would come often! lol Please forward this on to our classmates that you may have address of. My email addresses are in desperate need of updating. Please send me address as well. Hey, pass this around and let me know your input.I'm still the Account Executive at WRON radio and still live in Renick. You can reach me at this info.
Take care.
I miss seeing you all.
