For all who love nostalgia, get on Facebook and find Memories of a Lifetime in Memphis, TN. You may have some special thoughts to add to it.
Reply from Webmaster:
Before you leave the Tech Alumni website, be sure and visit OUR OWN SECTION "Memphis Memories" and please add some memories of your own. |

Hello to all you Yellowjackets ! I have just discovered this website and am SOOOOO impressed !
Great job, Webmaster ! I attended a reunion several years ago, the first time I had returned to Tech since 1958. I am still looking for my best friend at Tech, Betty Brown, '58....anyone have any idea where she might be ? I posted on Classmates.com for a couple of years, no luck.
Hope to make one of the Piccadilly meetings this summer. How blessed you all are who have kept in touch with each other ! (and those who have made it possible for us to reconnect ! |

SAD NEWS
We have learned today of the death of one of our major supporters, Martin J. "Buster" Bradley, Tech 1938, on April 17, in Brentwood, California.
Several years ago, when "Buster", the son of long-time Tech shop teacher "Jungle Jim" Bradley, learned about the website, he began contributing Tech-related articles to the BLUE & GOLD BUZZ section. Do yourself a favor and read them, if you have not.
Thank you Lillian Bradley Laws, Tech 1941, for letting us know about your brother. We extend our sincere sympathy.
The obituary has now been posted on the OBITUARY page and on Buster's yearbook photo on the 1938 pages. |

I agree with Rita, the luncheon was so nice. Good to see some new faces. Photos of those attending can be seen on the 1969 class roster page under New Photos. The next scheduled luncheon is being planned for Sunday, June 27th. The location and time will be announced at a later date. Mark your calendars and keep checking for updates.
The 1969 Lady Yellowjackets are buzzing about in flight with great anticipation. |
