Hello fellow East High grads! I married another alum - Morgan Lynn ('73) - and we now have two busy teenagers: Daniel, age 16 and Melanie, age 14. They attend Houston High and Houston Middle Schools in Germantown. Both kids are members of their school bands, which brings back many memories for both Morgan and me from our East High band days. And guess what? Their school mascot is also the Mustang!! I received my B.A. in Social Work from Memphis State in 1978 and my Master of Arts in Teaching from Univ. of Memphis in 1990.

I am so glad to find this site! As many of you may remember, Gary Holmes and I dated in jr. high. We ended up getting married. We have been married 20 years and have six wonderful children.(Yes we do know what causes that!) And, yes, they were all on purpose! They are: Erin, 17, Patrick 11, Andrew, 10, Emily, 6, Anna, 5, and Elizabeth, 3. We have a wonderful life and are in the process of building a house on 3 acres in the Mt. Pisgah area of Cordova. We would love to hear from any of our former school friends, and if anyone knows where to find Angela McFarland, I would really like to contact her.

Ervin C. Johnson [last updated December, 2007]

What a great website. Here is my life in a nutshell.
After my memorable time at East, I went to Memphis State,"Tiger High", on the 5 year plan, still hard to say University of Memphis. I became a member of Lambda Chi Alpha Fraternity and spent four and a half wonderful years enjoying college and fraternity life. I moved to Atlanta in 1990 then moved to Los Angeles in 1998. After 9-11, I moved back to Atlanta and worked in management for Day Hospitality, Crowne Plaza Hotels and am currently working as a Director of Sales for a 400 room Marriott in suburban Atlanta. It is hard to believe that I have now been in the hotel business for 31 years. Atlanta is a huge and exciting city, but it is nice to go home to Memphis and see my family and get a rest from Atlanta traffic. I'm so happy I attended my 25th reunion in 2000. What a wonderful weekend !! Luckily, we were able to walk the halls of East High again, prior to the recent renovations. Who knew that we were exposed to Asbestos.
It looks like East High has really had some major ups and downs. We were fortunate to experience the good times.
Anyone who would like, please e-mail me and let's play catch-up.

Lisa Kenny [last updated November, 2007]

I can't believe we have all hit the half century mark! I am teaching in the CLUE program at Downtown Elementary which is five minutes from my house. Living, working, and going to church downtown keeps me from getting out to East Memphis that often. I will occasionally go the Kroger at Poplar Plaza when I am running errands and usually run into someone I know. My daughter, Lucy is teaching 2nd grade in Nashville and my son, Parker is a senior at Wake Forest. My husband has been very busy this past year with Tennessee Waltz! We are still loving living downtown and Susie Hromada McCandless is one of my neighbors. She was in our class in Jr. High. I also see Laurie Gragg who has two children in med school!!!!! I went to Carroll Cobb Thompson's daughter;s wedding in Atlanta this summer ( Carroll was also at East Junior High)

Wade Koon [last updated May, 2008]

This is just an update and it's about time, too. I'm still with Shelby County Schools in the Business Information Systems department as a systems analyst. I have been here 21 years now. I also own a karaoke/dj service (River City Karaoke & DJ Service) as well as work with a non-profit group that I helped establish (The Noble Krewe of Hathor). We raise money for local charitable groups that do not receive any significant funding from a national group or any governmental assistance. To date we have worked for the Church Health Center, the Animal Protection Association, the Dream Factory, Alzheimers Day Services and currently Memphis Oral School for the Deaf. Life keeps me busy!

Tock McRae [last update March, 2006]

I live in San Antonio, Texas with my wife, Ann (who is from San Antonio); we've been married since 1980. We have two wonderful daughters, Lindy (b. 1985) and Kathleen (b. 1986)--now both students at Vanderbilt. After leaving East, I went to Nashville to attend Vanderbilt, where I obtained a degree in History and a law degree. Ann (who is also a law school graduate but happily retired from practice) and I moved to Dallas in 1982 and then to San Antonio in 1988. San Antonio is a wonderful city -- we have really enjoyed living here and raising our daughters here. I attended the reunion of the Class of '75 held in the summer of 2000 and enjoyed seeing everyone who was there (except for a couple of people who don't like lawyers). After many years practicing real estate and banking law in law firms here in San Antonio, I went to work in 2003 as lawyer for a food company. I don't get back to Memphis alot, but some-- one brother still lives there (Duncan, Class of '73 moved to Florida in 2005). I still keep in touch with a few folks from the class, Lisa Kenny - Cindy Godfrey and Roy West (who graduated from Briarcrest) but would love to get an email from anyone from high school days--there are so many people I wonder about. Best Wishes to all Mustangs!

Beverly Mullinax [last updated April, 2007] [E-mail address updated May, 2007]

I ran across this web site when "googled" the address of East High School for a credentially application. I have nursing degrees from Memphis State (cannot get used to the Univesity of Memphis yet), ADN, Union University, BSN, and Xavier University of Louisiana, MSNA, which is a Masters of Science in Nurse Anesthesiology. I was a RN for 15 years before going back to become an anesthetist. I lived in Memphis until I moved to New Orleans for graduate school in 1995. Kind of shocking to think I have a graduate degree when I missed at least one day a week of school our senior year! I now work as a Certified Nurse Anesthetist in Austin, Texas and love both what I do and this city.
I hope if there are any more reunions someone will send me a note. I still come to Memphis in May every year because I am a member of a barbeque team, Sow Luau. It's a good time to see friends so if you are in the area stop by the booth, I would love to see you.

Susan Randall [last updated April, 2007]

It's long past time for an update, and not only mine I see as I read through some older postings. I've changed my job and my email but the place remains the same, Memphis, TN. Seems like a good place to come back to for lots of folks. I am in my 25th year of marriage, have a fourth grandchild and lots of fabulous contacts with EHS alumni, many of those who didn't graduate from East but have survived to tell tales of those wild 70's. Living here gives me joyous surprise encounters, and I'm looking forward to more in our future...see ya'around!.
