She is studying at The University of Arkansas in Mountain Home and is majoring in education.I am very proud of her.I also have a son that is 20.He works full time and goes to college in Harrison,AR.His name is Anthony. He is expecting his first child in June.

Well, after much procrastination, I have finally decided to fill this in!!! After graduation, I did the normal stint at Memphis State. After a first failed marriage (that probably never should have happened!), I enlisted in the Army and was discharged in 1978. After discharge, I went back to Memphis State and received my BA in Social Work in 1981. I tell people it too me parts of three decades to finally graduate from college (talk about procrastination!) and that the football team at MSU never changed!!! I'm glad that they are finally having some good years after all this time. I married Sheron Sherman (class of 69) in 1982 and moved to Nashville in 1983. We divorced in 1988 on friendly terms and I married for the 3rd (and last!!!!!!!) time in 1992 to Terry Foster, a lifelong Nashvillian. Neither of us have children, but we maintain a poodle that thinks she is a child. For the last 23 years, I have worked with veterans and their deependents, the last 16 with the U. S. Department of Veterans Affairs, better known as the VA. I work in the Fiduciary Section, finding payees and guardians for beneficiaries who are not able to handle their funds so that they will not be taken advantage of financially. My wife works for the IRS (she doesn't do taxes!!), and we have lived since 1996 in south Nashville at the Wiliamson County line. I occasionally see Mike Webb and Cameron Frechette, but not as much as I would like to. I still have a brother and a sister living in Memphis, but I don't get there as much as I should since my parents died. Anyone can feel free to contact me by email (
 ), phone (615 834-8050), or by the old reliable mail (225 Burgandy Hill Road, Nashville 38211). I hope the group there in Memphis will be able to put together a class reunion because I am starting to miss everyone I knew at good old East High School. Class reunions are a staple of my wife's HS class, and during those reunions I get to see Martha Eggleston since she married a guy who graduated with my wife. I guess I have rambled enough, but I wanted to get as much info here as possible. I look forward to hearing from anyone!!

I am so glad to have found this website and to have a way to connect with my past. I am married to Chip and we have one daughter, Katherine. She is a senior in High School. We are back in Arkansas after a 4 year "adventure" in Alabama . I have had recent contact with Beth Enos and Diane Altick. I am sad that I have lost touch with many friends that I used to communicate with. I would love to hear from Marcie Sorrells Hubbard, Anne Heen, and Kay McCarty. I keep in touch with Libby Wilson's parents and still miss her. I think I missed a reunion or two. I would love to be in on the next one. Would love to hear from you !

Update: The children are both out of the nest. Our son Michael and daughter Melissa still reside in S. CA. Mike is a successful Plumber, and Melissa is a practicing Physician's Assistant (PA) specializing in emergency medicine.
Janet and I have relocated to Las Vegas in preperation for retirement. We are still working, but mainly for some additional retirement cushion. We hope to keep busy with at least some type of part-time work when we do retire (neither of us can stand the thought of just being off all the time), but that could surely change at some point.
Neither of us are into the gaming/gambling industry here, but hope to enjoy some of the dining and celebrity shows.
Hope all is well.

Still married, still a Telecom manager, and playing music on the weekends with the Rhythm Hounds in Memphis. My son is now 16 and daughter is 14. So far, they are much better than I was as a teenager although my son is pushing it. Planning on winning the lottery soon, so I hesitate to update my email address, but I will anyway.

Hello fellow Mustangs. I still live in Memphis, and have been happily married for 25 years to a younger Mustang, Mimsy Loeb. We have three children, Gordon at the University of Georgia, Shea at MUS, and Mary at St. Mary’s. I am gainfully employed in the investment management business, and after having made every mistake in the book, am still employed. Life has been good to me, and I thank my lucky stars every day. I have made many mistakes along the way, but hey, life is a comedy, and I try to stand back and laugh at the missteps. Unfortunately, I don’t always succeed in this endeavor. After being directed to this page by Bill Milligan (Mustang 1970), I am so saddened to see the obituaries. I have never really had a strong desire to reconnect with my high school peers until seeing this. I now realize our journeys together through those years was so precious.

My name as known when I attended East High was and still is Pat Copeland.
I began classes in the seventh grade and graduated in 1969. I have been
living in San Francisco since 1973, but have visited Memphis on four
occasions with more to come in the future.
I look forward to hearing from my friends that I share so many memories
with while attending East High as I have lost contact with many of you.
Best wishes always

I got married right out of high school, had a daughter, and promptly got divorced. I've been very happy ever since.
My daughter, Melody, is an RN in the emergency room in a hospital in Acworth, GA. I have a handsome son-in-law and three super athletic grandsons.
I graduated Magna Cum Laude from Belhaven College in May 2002 (better late than never) with a Bachelor in Business Administration.
I'm currently a Management Technician with the Department of the Navy in the Morale, Welfare, and Recreation Division.
I'd love to hear from any of you who remember me.

After graduating in 1969 I attended MSU for about a year majoring in music. Too much 60's loud music left me with a "tin ear" so I dropped out of music and college and went to work in the trucking industry. I left Memphis in 1980 and moved to Dallas, Texas and in 1982 married the prettiest girl in Texas, Charlyenne. We have no children (well, she has one, me). I've been in the trucking industry for 34 years, managing traffic and pricing and we currently live in Holland, MI.

Greetings to the Class of '69! I graduated from Washington & Lee University in 1973, and from Vanderbilt Law School in 1976. After law school I spent a year in the Territory of American Samoa in the South Pacific. I joined a law firm in 1977, and in 1980 a friend and I started a part-time equipment business. I left the practice of law in 1985 to grow the business. Today I am single and happy in Nashville, Tennessee. My son, Andrew, is now 24 and lives in Washington, D.C. My daughter, Molly, is 21 and a junior at Clemson University. I still own the wholesale equipment business (www.mtadistributors.com), but fortunately have more time for cycling and travel.

Hi ya'll Gary here, lets see where to start, talking about myself is a bit out of character I prefer keeping a low profile. Shortly after graduation from East I married Marsha Hunt an East grad,tried night school at Tiger High but with long work hours and kids coming that didn't last long, never was the studious type anyway.Marsha and I were married for 23 years had 2 great children,Heather mother of 2 gorgeous kids and rick (who I named after Rick Dees in the morning) who is married to a great gal and they are working on their first. I,m a general contractor like my father before me and love building,life's been a hoot. I met fell in love and married Sherry Baby as I call her and she included a son, who has become a best friend. We do alot of traveling I guess that's what we have most in common. My other love is my Harley, there are motorcycle rallies somewhere in the world every weekend of the year, what a way to see the country. I still hang out at Picwic Lake alot of the summer but mostly for the kids now but thats the way of things.I wish our class had had a 30th reunion but maybe we,ll get together soon, I've heard of a bunch of East Grads. being spotted at the Half Shell once a month I would like to know when and maybe some of we 69'ers could join you, I still love to throw down on any occasion. I would love to hear from any of you guys, take care hope to hear from Ya'll soon.

I live in Atlanta, have been married so long I hardly remember when I was single, and have two fine children. My son graduated as an engineer from Vandy and is attending seminary. My daughter attends Auburn and plans to be a nurse. Met my wife in college and we’ve been married 28 years. I’ve had plenty of work related experiences (I’ve been an attorney for over 30 years), but I won’t belabor or bore you with them other than to say work is not what is most important. I am excited about the future and the prospect of getting to see you at our next reunion (If we have one!)

Life is great in Dallas. My wife Kathy and I are empty
nesters and loving it. However, a 4 bedroom home is a little big for
just the two of us. My oldest, Taylor, is 24 and just moved to Baton
Rouge, La. Kathryn is 21 and a junior at Ole Miss. My youngest,
Chase, is 20 and is working and going to Community College here in
Dallas (but shares an apartment with 2 other guys). I am General
Manager of Dallas County Park Cities Municipal Utility District. We
treat and supply water to the Town of Highland Park and the City of
University Park (home of SMU). Kathy is executive secretary to Lamar
Hunt (owner of Kansas City Chiefs and other sports teams). She has
some very interesting tales. I still visit Memphis a couple of times a
year as my brother Charles (class of '60) and his family still live
there. I hope the next time I visit, it will be when the dinner group
gets together.

Member of the Thirteen Year Club, having attended East from Kindergarten through the 12th grades.
Bought a '97 Harley Fatboy, have too much disposable income, still winning at the casino, still shooting billiards, fly fishing, and still chasing impossible dreams. I did Aspen for snowboarding in December and Aruba back in July for scuba diving and just went to Belize in Central America in August for more scuba diving. I couldn't resist the snowboarding in Whistler BC either. I joined the Midsouth Fly Fishing club and go trout fishing once a month over in Ark and Missouri and tie my own flys. I'm restoring the Morris Minor car and slowly rebuilding the 4 triumph motorcycles. Took off to Bermuda a few months ago and just returned from Nassau. Ahhh ... retirement is good.
