Helping Hands
One thing that I have really appreciated over the past weeks is the help that I have been receiving from folks to help track down people.
I want to thank Kahlie Brown (Krtek) for sending me a list of people that are in the Bolivar Phone Book. She has already prompted several people to contact me but she spent the time to type out about 15 people name, address and phone numbers for me.
I want to thank Sharon Long (Muir) who sent me a list of a dozen contacts email addresses from the Class of 1990 Reunion. I will be contacting them this weekend in order to try and track down what they are doing.
I want to thank David Rash who is making phone calls to Bolivar Grads parents in order to track down where their kids are today. I think he has tracked down Rick Mayfield and will have him contact me soon.
I want to thank Karen Myers (Ice) who has spent time doing some Google Searches and tracking down leads for me to call. She also has forwarded my site to folks and had them contact me.
Thanks to all who have forwarded this site to their friends or siblings and had them contact me so all Bolivar Grads can read where their classmates are today!
Since my last post, these people have contacted me:
Class of 1986
Janell Ice (Helton) - Janell was clued in about our site from her sister-in-law, Karen Myers (Ice). Janell is living in Houston, TX with her husband Bill Helton who managed the Pizza Hut in Bolivar during the 80's. They have been married 18 years and have 3 teen age daughters. Janell is a substitute teacher in the Houston area and sent this great photo of their family. Thanks Janell!
Class of 1988
Carrie Roberts (Wood) - Carrie was forwarded the site 2 months ago when the site started and forgot about it. Just last week John (Chris) Smith (Another Helping Hand) forwarded her the site again and she contacted me. Carrie moved away at the end of her Junior year so she didn't "officially" graduate from Bolivar, but she still made many friends that she keeps in contact with. She is living in Fayetville, Arkansas husband Paul Wood. They have been married for 14 years and together they have a daughter named Kailee 13 and Kyndall 10. Paul also has a son named Trent 18. Paul is a Sales Manager for Tyson Foods and Carrie is a Sales Manager for a large candle company. They both travel frequently and she just got back from New York where she was able to visit Greg Redford. She also keeps in touch with John Smith and Mary Ann Callaway. Below is a great photo of the Wood family. Thanks Carrie!
Class of 1990
John Casebeer - John heard about the site from Holly Parker (Gardner). After graduating from BHS, John spent several years working on-air in radio, and a couple of years doing iron work (His last job was the Banc One Ballpark in Phoenix, AZ). He finished his degree in Political Science at SMS and is about to make Captain in the U.S. Army. John said he loves is job in the Military. He will be departing soon for the "sun-soaked desert climes of Iraq". He said when he gets back he should have his Sand Wedge mastered. In 1996 John married Ginger Worthington (An SBU '93 Grad) and they now have 3 children in Ben 7, Emily 5, and Abigail 4. He still keeps in regular contact with Bryant Foster, Chad Daniel, Mike Rice, Stacey Allen (Berry), Holly Parker (Gardner) and Stephen Beaman. Here is a picture of John and Gingers children making scary faces.
Class of 1991
Sandy Branstetter - Sandy emailed me from Springfield, MO where she lives. She works for Electronic Video Systems where she does Smart Board sales and training in the schools as well as systems integrations in churches. She travels quite a bit with her job and loves seeing different places. When she is in town she is usually hanging out with the singles of Second Baptist Church in Springfield. She says that there is quite a contigent of Bolivar Grads that attend Second Baptist Church. If you would like to learn more about Sandy, check out her personal website HERE.
Wow, 4 updates and all of them sent in Pictures! That is a great update! If you are a Bolivar Grad and have not contacted me yet, send me an email! We all really want to know where and what you are up to!
My email address is JR@bolivargrads.com . Also make sure to put yourself on the Bolivar Grads Map! I want to see how many states we have spread out to. So far there is no one listed in states like Florida, Georgia, Michigan, Iowa, Colorado, Washington, Wisconsin, Minnesota, Kentucky, Mississipi and more. If you live in one of these states, put yourself on the Map HERE!
NEW MESSAGEBOARD FORUM
So Holly Parker (Gardner) gave me a great idea that I decided to use. She suggested being able to see Bolivar Grads Wedding pictures since afer all, we usually look our best on that day! There is a new forum on the Messageboard that I started to post them HERE. Send me your wedding photos or you can post them yourself if you are a member of the Boards. Let's see those Brides and Grooms!
