Welcome,
WMHS Class of 1977
Last update 6/25/2010 --
Pictures are mostly posted and names and titles are being added! Check out the Photo Albums. Also posted there are names of those in the group picture taken night of reunion. Some of the inside candid pictures blurrred. Guess my camera did not like the lighting. Posted most anyway. Do you have pictures you want posted from reunion? Yours may be better! Upload them in the photo albums to share!
Check out the New Message Board. Let us know what yall are doing!!
Special thankks to ALL of our Military Graduates and our Graduates with children in the Military!! THANK YOU for the job you do for our Country. Following is part of an email sent to Melinda we shared at reunion from one of our Graduates still on active duty -- Tsgt Paul Adams.
"Right now my son is about to head to Fort Lewis Washington and the unit he is going to be assigned to is presently in Iraq right now. For me, well, I won't be there during the reunion but I will be activated into the active air force with the possibility of deployment.
I appreciate your concerns for myself and my son. I truly do and you just don't know how much more proud it makes me feel to have someone that makes an effort to ask. Thank you.
Here at our base I am also a member of the United States Air Force Honor Guard detail. We take care of all military funerals of air force personel either killed in action or retirees, flag ceremonies and any other activities for which we are asked to participate. I am one of the primary flag presenters of our unit and it is I that takes the folded flag that we have folded from the coffin and presents it to the next of kin. It is an act that you literally hold back your tears until after the ceremony and you are away from the area. No one is suppose to see us cry. We are to be totally professional at all times with the utmost demeanor and professionalism. It is tough and I have almost lost it several times especially when the solder we are burying is young ... and I mean really young.
Thanks again for your kind throughts, prayers and concerns for myself and my son. One will never know how grateful it is to us just to have someone say, "Thank you for all that you do". We may not like or want to be doing what we are doing but it is in our blood to follow orders of those appointed over us and to accomplish the mission.
God bless you and my felow classmates for our thirteith reunion. I pray that everyone is safe and that no one suffers any accidents.
Paul -- Proud Class Member of West Monroe High School .... The Fighting Rebels!!"
REUNION WAS GREAT!!!!!!!! SPECIAL THANKS to all grads that chose to support your class and attend reunion. More than a year went into this planning and we appreciate those that made the commitment to come. Updated photos from reunion are being posted and I will add names and titles soon. We have been able to upgrade the site from donations made at reunion to add lots more pictures and a message board. Check it out! We plan to keep the site up for at least the next 5 years from donations and then hope to extend for another 5 years until our 40th! PLEASE keep the site updated with any address or email changes. Contact us at anytime from the Contact Us page to the left with changes. Thanks -- Melinda
For a little fun -- watch the "sideways" Video below from the reunion on 5/26. It will not rotate! Just click the video button below.
For all who attend reunion -- they received a surprise DVD with the entire yearbook scanned to it. John Steinbeck and Karen Hamilton McCourt worked very hard on this to get prepared. They say it works best and looks best on a TV than on the computer. Try it and let us know you enjoyed!!
Do you have pictures from Reunion activities you would like to share?? Email them to us and/or upload them in the Photo Albums -- we will post as many as possible!
We had many Door Prizes given away at reunion and would like to thank ALL who made contributions! Wayne Petrus worked hard on gathering these.
For any who have not registered on the site -- please do so on the People Page to the left. That lets us know you have found the site and are getting reunion updates. Keep checking back! We have many addresses we would like to to verify for future reunions and we NEED YOUR HELP ON THIS! If your address or email changes in the future -- PLEASE let us know on the Contact Us Page to the left so we can update our mailing list. We will continue to work hard on keeping this site updated. Please take the time to help us with this and to continue to locate some of our missing alumni.
If you have provided an email address, you will receive updates by broadcast emails on important happenings and deadlines. We are working hard on trying to get the site address out to all graduates. Register your information under "Add your Info" on the People Page and we will update your profile to the site. Add spouse's and children's names if you want and any other information under comments you would like to show on the web site. Attach a "then" and/or "now" picture too if you want. If you are unsure how to do this -- email picture to Karen Hamilton McCourt and she can attach to People Page for you now or at a later time. You can edit your information yourself on your name on the People Page or email to Karen for updating. Remember your password for this!
We need your help finding alumni! Many are still missing and/or not verified. Please forward our reunion website (can Tell a Friend below) to any 1977 graduate you know so they can sign up on the People Page. Also Contact Us (to the left) with their information (include telephone number) so we can update our address list and contact them. This site lets us communicate quickly, easily and cost-effectively with all our graduates. Thanks!
