Why didn't we have a 25-year reunion... some of us would liked to have had one. We are not getting any younger-- please, people, put the petty indifference aside that our class had and let's get together. I know we were in the middle of the busing era but it is time to put that in the past where it belongs. I do not know about you all but I miss the good old days and my friends."
A Note to Bill Shain: Bill: I recently received an acknowledgment from Manual for my last contribution. Your name was at the bottom along with the year you graduated. I graduated in 1951, so apparently we over lapped one year. I remember a couple of people from your class. One was Janet Bates and another was Malcolm Roessler. I dated Janet a couple of times and I remember Malcolm played basketball. If my memory is correct, they married soon after they graduated from Manual. Seeing your name and the year you graduated reminded me of some good times I had at "Dear Old Manual." Because I spent my first two years at the "Old Manual" at Brook and Oak, I really feel a closer attachment there than to the "New" Manual at 2nd and Lee. So to cover my bases, I belong to both alumni associations. Hope you, Mike and the Alumni Association are doing well. Charlie Davis, Class of 1951
R. Kent TeVault, '59, shares some thoughts: "Greetings, old friends. We must be
getting old, because I seem to remember you better than I remember what I had for lunch
yesterday. It occurs to me that it is about time for a 45th anniversary
reunion. I enjoyed the 35th so much that I find myself looking for an excuse to
travel back to Louisville.
Elizabeth Wong Chan, '59, writes in: "The retirement lunch from San Francisco USSS is 011404 - now I am free to travel! Class of 1959 reunion - Let me know when and where - I'll be there! Returned to US from 7 years in Hong Kong in 1999 to settle in CA close to sister, MaryK Wong Lim (Class of 1957)and brother ED Wong (Class of 1952). We get together with our spouses, kids & g-kids every holiday! In June we gather in Colorado for a Wong family reunion/celebrate Ed'70th -then off to Indiana for a summer wedding. Would love to hear from friends at elizjoe@msn.com.
Bob Murrell, 1934, has a challenge to the older grads: "Hi
to all the Manual people: In scanning the latest, I found no one that was from an early
class, so I thought it was time for an old timer to have his say. My Name is Colonel

Paul Christopher Arnett, 1986, says: "It has finally hit me!! I think that by now we are all Grown!! A beloved instructor that I had the pleasure of knowing has passed. Ms. D. Donsky was always a fair instructor of the German Language to me, I studied DEUTSCH there for 4 years and have lived in the BRD{Bundesrepublik von Deutschland}since August of 1987. I only wish I could thank her for that. At one time I was the class president of the class of 1986. I take great pride in that my fellow students at one time chose me to represent them. I also thought that my views always encompassed the better good of the school (the walkout of 1984 was organized under my auspices with the blessing of many other "informal" student associations}. ,,,,,I ended up a lost solitary being on a lonely college campus. I had a couple of classes which interested me then I chose to serve my country in Feb of 1987. Please talk to your counselor.. I enlisted in the Army and have been here for almost 17 years
Nancy (Harris) Beeson, '75, writes: "Would love to hear from classmates graduated from 1973-1975."
Hi
Everybody, C\0 1995... I just thought I would drop a few lines to let my classmates know
what I'm up to lately. I'm still in Louisville. Have been working for Hilliard Lyons the
past 3 years. I remember my time at Manual fondly. I still keep in touch with a few of my
buds from the old days. Including Erica Chesser, Kevin Holmes, Angie Liebert. But most
others have stepped off the radar. I'm looking forward to a ten year reunion.

All Best, Greg Meriwether, c/o 1997Members of Class of the class of 1995. Wow! Has time
flown. I just wanted to send a message to say hello and wish everyone well. I
have seen a few of you around town but words have not been spoken. I hope all is
well. I am currently assigned to Eglin AFB FL. I have been in the Air Force
for 5 years now and plan to make this military thing a career. I often think of
things like Red/White Week, those moments of coming to school with one side of my
face painted red and the other white. What a blast! No other school on the
planet had spirit like we do. No other class had/has spirit like we did. Do
you remember how many times we got the spirit stick? I miss the good times.
Mrs. Rademacker (sp?) oh my! Anyway...if you do remember me it would be great

After all this time I still can't stand even the mention of that school! Glad to see
the barrel returned home last year. Even a State Championship can't compare to winning
that game. I hope the football team can do it
again. I am 34 years old, I've played football around the world with the base teams and a
semi pro team in Florida. To this day those games are still the ones I remember the most.
Unfortuately, I did'nt get to see the barrel come home. If there is any way someone could
get me a copy of the game last year and the pep rally when they returned the barrel to us
I would greatly appreciate it." --Lynch Mark A SSgt 100 LRS/LGRF

We also had a teacher in common for chemistry, Mrs Pauline Stein, who, when asked about it when I first appeared in her class remembered my mother, but seemed none too pleased to be reminded of how long she had been teaching. Enjoy the newsletter and I am thrilled to see how pre-eminent the school has become in both academics and athletics."

Sheila and I will be coming to Louisville in late June for a Campbell Family reunion. The
school will probably be closed, so we won't be able to walk the halls. After
graduation in 1951, we married in 1954, I received a Civil Engineering degree in 1956 from
Speed Scientific School (U of L), we moved to Baltimore in 1956 where I worked for The
Glenn L. Martin Co. for
two years in thier static test department. In October 1958 I began working for The
Whiting-Turner Contracting Company in Baltimore. In January 1999, after 40-plus
years, I retired at age 65-years. In that time, we spent a year in Atlanta, GA and
13-years in Memphis, TN, and the balance of time has been spent in the Baltimore Area.
My major emphasis has been in project management, but including all
aspects of general contracting, quality control, etc. (See
www.Whiting-Turner.com) My greatest thrill has been passing on to the new engineers
what I was taught over the 40-years. Sheila and I have three sons: A, B and C:
Andy is married and lives with his wife, Stephanie and two teenage sons, north of Memphis
in Atoka, TN. Byron is married and lives with his wife, Carol and two daughters
(twelve and three), east of Nashville in Lebanon, TN. Chris is married and lives with his
wife DeAnn in Joppatowne, near us innortheast Baltimore. Chris is completing five years
with Whiting-Turner this year.
Sheila has taught Bible in the private school sector, designing the
curricula herself. She has worked for the church as Director of Christian
Education. She has been a bank teller, a quality control inspector at Reynolds
Metals, and she has organized a Community Bible Study group in
Baltimore. She teaches Sunday School; been doing that most of our married
life. I continue to sing in the church choir and to be involved in churchwork, too.
I really didn't mean to rattle on so much. Feel free to toss all of this letter or
to pass on any small tid bits after you've edited it.

Sorry I missed the 25th reunion, but I was suffering from the empty nest snydrone, my
last son at home left for the military on Oct. 18th, so the reunion weekend was the last
chance I had to spend with him before he left. Unike some parents, I don't feel like
my life is finally mine to do anything I want, I feel like my life is over, I spent the
last 25 years, being deicated to my kids, seeing them through college and becoming
productive, responsible citizens. Now I'm trying to find a business of my own to
open, I've racked my brain to death, any suggestions? I have a few good ideas, but sill
haven't made any final choices. Anybody out there with Mable King (Bradley, class of
74) email or home address, please email it to me, she was at the 25th reunion & sent
me a Xmas card, saying she missed me there, which I thought was really nice and which I
kept to respone to, it was from somewhere in OH, but I threw the envelope away, because I
thought It was the same address she gave me from our 20th reunion, but I found at too late
it wasn't, I'd appreaciate a respone from anyone who has the infor or anyone that
would just like to touch base. My E-mail address is diamon@africana.com. Hope

I received my first Manual alumni newsletter today. This is great!
Unfortunately due to bad address info I missed the first nine issues. As a 1982
graduate I have been reminded of many wonderful Manual memories. I was very involved in
Manual and it's many traditions, and have great
devotion to those memories. As I have read each article I am not sure which one to
comment upon first. As a former Miss Manual, cheerleader, student council president,
etc, my history with Manual brings me many positive and rich memories. I have so
many stories surrounding the Male/Manual football games, The last T-day game was played my
Junior year. My Husband, Tommy Hall `82 and I are a proud "Crimson
couple." We can't wait to share our Manual memories with our two children,
Taylor (five), and Janelle (9 months). I am currently Director of Internet
Development for Baptist Healthcare System. Tommy is a Product Manager for E&H
Electric. Tommy attended Murray State University, and I graduated with a B.A. &
M.A. from the University of Louisville and Webster University respectively. We have
been married for ten years and have two wonderful children. I have lot's of pictures
and other memorabilia, and many great stories to tell. One of the best is when Male
students stole our band's banner right before the Male/Manual game 1981 and my fellow
cheerleading team members and myself had to fight to near death to get it back. Wow,
what a story. To top it all off, this all happened on game night (yes night, the
first non-T-day game was October 31, Halloween night). I could go on and on...Also,
Congratulations to Preston Gray for his induction to the Hall of Fame. My husband and I
knew Preston well when we were at Manual, he is a wonderful guy! Tommy's
favorite teacher by far was Ms. Stewart. He has raved over the
years how wonderful of a math teacher she is, and how much he gained from her. I am
kind of partial to Mr. Bullock. He acted out history events in a way that made them
entertaining as well as educational. THANKS to both! Thanks for a great newsletter
and a wonderful web-site! I look forward to the opportunity to tell many great
stories about Manual in the future. Patricia (Pickerell) Best, Class of 1984
