Tech Alumni Guestbook - Message Board

Archives #2: June 14, 2008 to April 26, 2012

On April 26, 2007, I opened this website with a short message. Now, five years later, it's time to close it. All pages remaining on the site will remain "as is". They will not be changed again or updated.

The Tech Alumni website contains a wealth of vital information and history, which will be essential to a new generation during genealogy research. It's imperative to keep it on the internet and I'll do that as long as I can. Since all of the files can be freely downloaded, it'll be up to someone in the future to keep the information on the internet. A lot of us worked very hard to put it there.

My sincere thanks to all who helped us during this 5 years and especially to those who stayed with us to the end. You'll find many messages from them in this archive.

Looking for "Larry Alexander" class of "70" - regular party boys at the old "Tonga Club" for those of you that remember the place. I'll have to get Vance Lauderdale from Memphis Magazine to do a "Memphis Memories" place for teen clubs back then. Cheers

Gene, It's been said that "All good things must come to an end". In the case of the Tech High Alumni Website, a great thing is coming to an end. You can be immensely proud of your creation & of the pleasure the website has given to so many people. You have made Tech High more than just a memory, it is a state of mind.

Gene, thank you so much for your hard work and everything you have done for all of the Tech Alumni! May God bless you always! Wow! I am really sad to see Gene's retirement announcement. He has devoted so much time to the absolutely wonderful Tech website. I have really enjoyed many hours looking through all of the information about Tech and looking through so many of the class rosters. I have many memories of Tech that span from 1965 to 1969. When I left Memphis in 1969, very reluctantly I might add, I lost contact with many. I've been able to renew friendships through this fantastic website, and wish I had been able to reach more of those friends from years past. This may not have been a reality without the fantastic work and the many hours Gene devoted to this great website. Love and friendship...especially to the Class of 1969, Anita

This forum will be missed, this was the only means of knowing about reunions and mettings. I was hoping to make it to at least one reunion since Barron has finally retired from the USAF in Dec 2010. Since we never could attend one, because we spend most of his serving time overseas. Well, since I we move closer to Memphis now, I will run into some old classmates. Thanks for all your time you all put into this web sites, I have enjoyed it throughout these years, many thanks, sayornra

I find your web page quite interesting; it provides information I have not known about. Perhaps you can assist me in my research about old African American neighborhoods around 1920. My 97 year old mother-in-law and I are writing her memoirs, and she can't recall the name of an area perhaps called Nonconnah, where there was a school for African Americans - perhaps, Nonconnah Woods. She refers to the area as being "in the country" when she and her brother rode in a horse-drawn buggy with their father on house calls. They lived in South Memphis at the time, so it must have been rather close to where they lived. We would be grateful if you are able to provide any information about that school or that area.

another message from chuck brady vlass of 1970 Hi, Well, I've finally got to my last stop here in Afghanistan. I am now at a base called Shindand Air Base. It is located in the mountains northwest of Kandahar. We are located about 48 miles from south of Iran, This air base is the second largest base and the safest to be at. This base has only been hit by incoming rocket fire only once in the last 6 months, The base is about 26 square miles. The air field here is occupied by the US Army and the Afghanistan Army and is heavily protected by air patrol. There are thousands of military personnel here along with about 27,000 workers from DynCorp and other government agencies. We are sleeping in tents with 8 people to a tent. This is a true tent city. Hundreds of tents. I'm suppose to move to a different tent in the next couple of days so I can be with the other foremen of the electrical department. I have about 19 more online training courses to take and get my certificates of completion before I can actually be involved with the work. So far everything is looking pretty good.. The weather here is fairly cold during the evening and night hours and sunny and cool during the day. It is soooo dusty and dry here because they only have a few days out of the year that gets any rain. Last year they said that the temperatures got up to 135 in August but starts cooling down in September. The mountain terrain is all around this base. When I was in Dubai during my stay for 4 days as "stand-by", I got to do a little sight seeing. It has been a real experience with the travels to get here. While we were at Kandahar military base, the morning we arrived there, the base got hit by 2 rocket fires before we landed there. Nothing was hit or damaged. There are alway attacks at that base, we were told. During my 4 day stay there in Kandahar we were awakened early in the morning around 2:30 with a bunch of rocket fire from helicopters buzzing around the outside perimeters of the base shooting at something going on. Our stay at Kandahar was only a transition base to get people from Dubai to their working FOB (Forward Operating Base). Some were transfered by helicopter and some by military air. We are about an hour and half flight from Kandahar by military prop plane. The mountains coming over here are a awesome site. They have snow covered tops. Not a dang tree in sight though. the Afghans and Taliban have poppy fields all over the place. That's about the only green that you can see from the air. It is rough terrain and full of Taliban. Shindand will eventually will be the 2nd largest military base covering about 50 square miles. I've already meet up with some pretty good guys that willl become some good friends will I'm here. One of the guys I met is from Lynchburg and he rides a Harley. There is every kind of job imaginable here. If you want to clean porta potties there's openings. LOL There is a lot of work going on here for the next few years. They are all ready talking about moving all of the construction trades to a different area on base because of so much work going on and all construction trades are growing to the point of outgrowing our current on base location. The move is suppose to take place by the 1st of April. I'll stay in touch and keep everyone informed. Hope all is going well back at home.. write back soon.

the note below is from chuck brady class of 1970. please e-mail him when you get a chance. rob jolly Hey, am I missed yet? LOL .....Thought I'd send everyone a little note and tell you that I'm in Dubai waiting on my flight orders to come in from DynCorp that will send me on into Kandahar, Afghanistan. About thirty of us got here Monday after a 13 hour flight from Dallas/Ft Worth and are staying here at the Dubai Grand Hotel (which isn't so grand). We have been waiting around everyday to see if and when we take our flight out of here. Meanwhile we have enjoyed the stay sightseeing and visitiing and walking the 3 HUGE malls. One mall even has an indoor actual ski slope built inside with everything from ski lifts, snowboarding, skiing, and all kinds of fun sled stuff for the kids. We went to the world's tallest building, the Borj Khalif, amazingly tall. Couldn't go up in it to the observation level, because the tickets for the times to go up are all reserved a couple of days in advance. The other building and structures are a archectural marvel. We have roll call every morning at 8:00 here (10pm your time) and an evening muster/rollcall at 6:pm (8am your time). We are allowed to leave and see the sights of Dubai as long as we are back by evening muster/roll call. The weather here is great, around 75 degrees during the day and around 55 at night. There's not much grass around, mostly sand and rock. How did they build all those tall buildings on sand is a marvel in it's self. There is a monorail system that runs around Dubai, which makes it easier to get to one place or another. Dubai is about 50 miles square Very large city all spread out. So we are trying to enjoy the weather and accomodations here now, because when we get to Kandahar we will be staying in a bunker tent with sleeping cots until we are assigne to which ever military work base we get assigned to. Some have been held there on "stand by" for as long as three weeks in the cold and rain. I'd rather be on "stand by" here. I'll get back in touch with everyone after I get to my assigned base in Kandahar. Take care, and please write...it gets boring around here at night...LOL! Chuck Brady cbrady3434@aol.com -

I did not attend Tech but both my parents did and I am trying to locate my birth father. His name is Gerald E Johnson, I am trying to find out his family in formation to help locate him. His mother and fathers name, did he have any brothers and sisters. I would give you my mothers name but she does not want to be contacted. But she was associated with tech she was active in ROTC and graduated in 1955. Thank you, with any help you can give. Sherry Handley, Savannah, TN

Hello Yellowjackets, The reunion was a success and we wish you all could have been there, but nevertheless we never had a meet and greet planned for this year's reunion. We mingled and socialized with each other during the actual reunion. We are planning to meet again in about 2 years if the Lord says the same. Thanks for inquiring and have a wonderful day!

With respect to the article "New History of Tech", please join me in INSISTING that Gene Gill add his name under the caption"Some Prominent Techites" since he apparently has nothing else to do. What about it Yellowjackets? Start buzzing. Who else among us could be more deserving? All those other "Prominent Techites" couldn't have done this for us. P.S. What is a Techite? Sounds like an insect. Never heard the term in the 50's.

Hello To The YellowJackets, Wow, I can truly say, I had a great time attending Tech High, from 71-73. Those were the days, I mean the good days. Although they called us the worst class Tech ever had, and punish us by not allowing us to have a prom. After graduation, myself and three others we gave ourselves a graduation party at the Old Holiday Inn Rivermont. So you see Class of "73" we still rock. Shout Out To The Class of "1973"

I looked it up and behold there was my picture from the 59 year book. Sorry to say that I don't remember anyone. I guess I was a loner then, even tho I was in ROTC and the Band. I Lost all my school memorabilia to include my yearbook to a fire, so it was great seeing the yearbook. Would be interested to see if anyone still has the complete yearbook, who could look in it to see if there were anymore references to me other than just the picture.

* UPDATE from Cecilia Hatch Shettles on the progress of Rita Collier Harrell's recovery* Good morning to all, Just wanted to forward this email that I received from Rita's son regarding her condition. Wayne has been kind enough to include his address for cards and notes of well wishes. Your thoughts and prayers mean a lot to Rita and her family at this time as she continues to regain back her strength and speech. This was evident when Harriett and I paid her a visit last week. Having been told that she might not recognize us, we didn't know what to expect. But once Rita saw us, she lit up like a light. May the Lord bless us daily in meeting our needs and keep us in his loving care always. Cecilia Shettles ----- Forwarded Message ---- From: CHARLES HARRELL <picture_man_2000@yahoo.com> Sent: Tue, May 3, 2011 9:44:22 PM Cecilia, Mom is getting better according to the therapist. If you ask her she doesn't know but she is speaking more frequently complete sentences. We gotta work on the understanding part of this equation. That will come with time. Anyone wanting to send Mom a card, send it to 6232 Boulder Cove Millington TN 38053. I go see her everyday after work so I am sure she would love to hear from you guys. As the old song goes she is "Getting Better All The Time." Charles Harrell From: Cecilia Shettles <cshettles2003@yahoo.com> Date: Tuesday, May 3, 2011, 3:58 PM Wayne, Hope your Mom is doing well as of today. Will try to stop in on Friday for a visit. These classmates have sent prayers and well wishes for your Mom. Charlotte Beasley Bloom, Diane Ballard Schafer, Regina Lee Page, Shirley Stewart Davis, and Nancy Stone Middlebrook among others. I will be sending out an email to update everyone about her condition and would like that information from you. In addition, your home address would be appreciated for getwell cards and others correspondance that myself and other classmates might like to send. Please give Rita our love and well wishes.

Hello All, You have got to see and hear Bobby Cheevers' newest song presented in the Youtube video link below. Tech High truly turned out a phenomenal song writer in Cheevers, and he will be preforming at the Square Bean Coffee Shop in Collierville, TN on Friday night July the 15th the night before our class reunion. Lets all try to make it out to hear him there. Hope to see you then. Ed Bell ----- Forwarded Message ----- From: "Bob Cheevers" <cheeversongs@earthlink.net> Sent: Monday, May 2, 2011 10:29:13 PM Subject: The End Of Bin...youtube Hey ya'll...last night as I watched the events unfold about the Bin Laden thing, I wrote this song which is now on YouTube at the url below. Please have a look and pass it of. Post it on your facebook page if you would and help me get it out there. Writing it felt to me what it "might" have felt like when Neil Young experienced the Ohio State killings way back when and wrote "Ohio". My pal Jeff Tveraas filmed and recorded me singing it today. It feels important to me. Perhaps you can relate. Thanks...ciao bob bobcheevers.com http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RcnLFekeyto

I am writing in the hope that you might be able to help me with information about Troy Phillips, who I believe was a member of the Class of 1961. He's listed in the class roster for 1961 but does not appear in the Yearbook - perhaps he did not graduate? His art teacher was George Piaggio. Troy, who died in 1995, was a talented artist. I recently purchased a few of his drawings and would love to find out more about him. Unfortunately there is no information about him on the internet beyond the fact that he attended Memphis Technical High School. Does anyone here still remember him? Any information would be much appreciated! Kind regards and thank you very much -S Jakob immaphoto@yahoo.com

- UPDATE: Many new items and articles have been added to our website. When was the last time you visited the BLUE and GOLD BUZZ section? There are lots of new articles, including a just added "Tech Couples of the 50's". And the OTHER SCHOOL YEARBOOKS section is growing. Near the bottom of this page, buttons have been added for "Historic Items" related to Central, Humes, Messick, South Side, Kortrecht, and Manassas. Among these are a very interesting 1926 Autograph Book from Central, a 1913 photo of the first Central graduating class, a 1915 Messick Class Photo, 1938 Humes Class Photo, 1938 South Side Class Photo, 1891 Kortrecht High Class Photo, 1926 Kortrecht Class Photo, 1926 Manassas Report Card, and articles on Isaac Hayes and Jimme Lunceford Band. And have you noticed that the complete yearbooks have been added for almost all Tech classes from 1919 to 1952, as well as the last Tech Yearbook of 1987? Thanks to Maureen Thoni White for scanning the books that we were missing. If you haven't visited the early Tech Class Roster pages, be sure and check out the early Tech History. We have thoroughly researched and updated the history of Tech - complete with references and resources. We've even added a new section named EDUCATION BEFORE 1911, with pages on the various Memphis Schools that were a forerunner of Tech. This section also contains the "Pioneers of Early Education" and the "Early Black Education" pages. Plus, we've added many photos from the recent Tech High 7 Reunion, the 1979-80-81 Multi Year Reunion, and the 1960-66 last Reunion Mixer in 2010. We hope you enjoy these new features.

In today's newspaper, I was saddened to see the obituary for Mrs. Jessie Lee Hartwell, former cosmetology teacher at Tech. Always beautiful herself, she helped young women develop confidence and pride in their skills. I have a personal memory of a visit she made to my home the day my husband died. Her compassion touched me deeply and gave me strength. My sympathy goes out to her loved ones.

Dear Techites, I did not graduate from Tech, but I have been given a rare opportunity to be associated with this incredible website. Through my lifelong friend, Dave French 1969, I have become involved with scanning yearbooks, providing school research for Gene Gill, our webmaster, and created class reunion materials for several class reunions. In the last 2 years I have made wondeful, and lasting friendships, with Tech alumni from Classes 1950 - 1970. Techites, you have a great website and a opportunity to keep it alive and current. Contribute a story, provide locations of missing alumni, or donate Tech memorabilia. I've been given the honor of "Honorary Techite" for my small contribution to the website, but as an alum you have much more to contribute. Please support your school website.

To All Memphis Tech High Alumni, Do you remember our school motto? If not, it is: �Ad Astra Per Aspera� which translated means: �To The Stars Through Striving� Many of your fellow alumni are STRIVING to keep your �Most Excellent STAR Website� at the top of other high school alumni sites THROUGH plain passion and hard work. In order to do that, we need each one of YOU on board to assist our Webmaster. As a student or facility member of Tech High School or just another Memphian, one cannot help but feel proud each time a visit is made to: memphistechhigh.com My challenge to each alumnus is to get and stay involved. We are all busy and there is still only 24 hours in a day. Yet if each of us only contributed one item in 2011, our Webmaster, Gene Gill, would be looking for a more robust web-hosting provider. One way to assist is by becoming a member and contributing regularly to the new �TECH FORUM�. Another way would be to become a class contact or assist the existing one. As you read this, Classes �54, �67, �71, �72, �82, �84, �85, �86 and �87 still do not have a class graduate contact listed. Many of us know and stay in touch with fellow graduates or had a parent or sibling that attended Tech. We are still in search of all kinds of Tech memorabilia, including the 1924 Memphis Crockett Technical HS Annual as well as an original copy of the 1934 Memphis Technical HS Annual. For those of you that frequent yard, garage and estate sales, please keep your eyes open for that long lost piece of Tech history. Please email or call to discuss areas where you might be able to assist in support of the website. My email address is: retired2007@gmail.com and my cell is: 678-516-1305 Thanking you in advance for your time and looking forward to speaking with many of you. Regards, Dave French, �69

- YES VIRGINIA, THERE IS A SANTA CLAUS... We now have a 1919 TECH YEARBOOK (Crockett Vocational High). Dave French had heard about Memphis attorney and historian-collector, George Whitworth. Hoping that he might have a copy of our missing 1924 Yearbook, Dave called him last night. He told Dave he didn't have a 1924 Yearbook, but he did have a 6 page, 1919 Crockett Vocational High Yearbook - called "The Craftsman". And he was most agreeable to let us borrow it and scan it for the website. wow!!! Maureen Thoni White picked it up this morning and scanned it. And your webmaster added it to the website this afternoon. Previously we had thought the earliest Tech Yearbook was 1922, but we also suspected that there were some earlier ones out there. And Christmas did come early this year. Thanks George Whitworth, Dave and Mo. Gene Webmaster -

City and county officials unveiled a historical marker commerating the eighty years the Pippin provided thrills for visitors to Memphis. As a friend of mine observed, "It's like a tombstone."

Such wonderful research from David, Gene and Rob on the early history of Memphis schools! Mr. Bourne would be so pleased, as he had also researched the history and firmly believed that Hope Night School was the forerunner of Tech. Great job!

- Re: Many new photos and stories on the website. Your webmaster and Dave French T�69, have been doing extensive research to verify and document the history and events leading up to the founding of Tech. Our results can be found in the early years on the ROSTERS page. You may be surprised at some of our findings. For example, have you ever heard of LEATH HIGH SCHOOL? It was the only public high school in Memphis from 1892 up until the Poplar Ave "Castle School" opened in 1898. Tech Historian Rob Jolly has recently learned to scan and now he�s joined Dave and Gene in researching/documenting this history. Rob has begun scanning a lot of his memorabilia collection and the new photos/articles are being fed into the website at the appropriate places. This will be an on-going process. Plus new stories have been added to the Blue and Gold Buzz section of the website. Enjoy! Gene -

Just want to thank everyone who had a part in planning and setting up for the Tech High Seven Reunion. I appreciate your hard work and effort. It was good seeing some familiar faces and catching up with each other. I was a little disappointed in the turnout for our class, everyone lets do better and show up for the next one. I think some classmates came on Friday night and skip Saturday. I was only at the dinner on Saturday so I miss some of you. Maybe next time. Stay healthy and safe.

Thanks to everyone who worked so hard in order for the rest of us to have such a wonderful time. It meant so much to me to see many familiar faces, and even some I may not have remembered. It gave me a reason to get out the year books and go back through them again and jog my memory. Everyone has their own unique feelings and memories of what their particular lives were like during their time at Tech. Some may have had miserable home lives (so school was a blessing), or some may have absolutely hated school and couldn't wait for it to be over. Whatever it was, most of us have fond memories of others who touched our lives. To those of you who at that time made my life easier and better, I thank you and will never forget you. There were many who didn't make it to the reunion that I would have loved to have seen. Of course, there are so many of our classmates who have gone on to a much better place and we will always have them in our hearts. Thanks again for a really good time and I hope to see everyone again, next time!

Fellow Classmates, The Tech High Seven Class Reunion (1967 - 1973) was a really good ride this past weekend. It was so good seeing many of you again and a few more for the first time in 41+ years. Special thanks to Rob Jolly, Pat Malone and their reunion team for making it all possible. For those interested, Photographer Wayne Harrell has posted a slew of photos from both evenings. They can be seen and ordered from his website at: www.showtymestudio.com/ Enjoy!!!

I should have graduated in 69, but quit school to marry my high school sweetheart; Ronnie VanVelsor. Unfortunately, our marriage didn't last nearly as long as we thought it would. However, we did get 3 fabulous sons out of the deal. Ronnie passed away in April of 2006. A sad day for all of us. John Lewis Gideon told me today about this web site and I have had a blast looking through old pictures in yearbooks and reading everyone's comments on here. I would love to attend a reunion sometime. I would also love to hear from any of you that remember me. Thank you for the fun and the memories. God Bless You ALL.

It was a great honor to be invited to attend the Tech Seven events this weekend. My compliments go to the committee that planned and carried out the reunion so gracefully. Some people had flown long distances and some had driven many miles. Faculty and alumni shared memories, talked about children and grandchildren, compared symptoms, discussed hobbies, and promised to stay in touch. We remembered those we had lost from both the faculty and student body. It was amazing to recall how many siblings had attended Tech over the years. Tech High was truly a nurturing school that people are proud to have attended and where faculty are proud to have served.

- One half of our reunion is now Tech history!!!!! We had a great time remembering things about our past school years. Over 125 people came last night and had Corky's food and Tech fellowship. Pat Malone did an excellent job as chairperson, David French and Buster Pearson were funny and articulate master of ceremonies and Coach Wright sang two songs with a voice as strong as ever. Ms. Elliot, Mr. Baker and Ms. Norwood all looked as great as in our school days. Please update your info on this web site often so we can see you at the next reunion or at one of the three times we are going to try to meet each year in the future. rob jolly -

This is for my father, Robert N. Lyle, who went to tech. My family have given me a Tech 1934 class poster and it's in very good shape . I very much want to find someone that can take it for the school. I know that the school is gone but there must be some place to hang this. It,s way too big for a house . It is approximately 3ft. by 4ft. or more . I really hate to see this get torn up stored in the garage. Please save this for the Class of 1934. May God bless.

I would love to hear from any of my old classmates. I didn't know very many people from Tech as I transferred from Humes in Jan of 59 (senior year)so I only went there for 5 months. Still feel a part of this school. Will always remember the senior class picnic at Maywood and the Prom. I live in Oxford, MS but I come to Memphis all the time.

I'm back. I live in Huntington Beach, Ca. I have 3 grown children and 5 grandchildren. My 5 year old granddaughter just finished 26months of chemo for leukemia. She is in full remission and the future looks great for her. I moved from Memphis to Albuquerque, then to San Francisco and then finally landed in Huntington Beach where I have been for 24 years. I have been a facilities and construction manager most of my life (that cosmetology thing just wasn't my life long dream as I had thought it was). I miss Memphis, but I live in Heaven on Earth. I would love to hear from some of my classmates and see what you have been up to. I get back to Memphis a couple of times a year, my Mom and 1sister and my oldest son live there. Hope to hear from ya'll

To all my Tech fiends:: LETTER FROM ROB JOLLY A dear friend of mine, Rita Gallagher, needs help. Her husband, Kevin, was in a traffic accident in February, gashed his leg open, had two heart attacks, got a collapsed lung, several infections and never made it out of the hospital. Knowing he was not going to live, Kevin asked to be taken off all machines and passed away peacefully. Before all this Kevin had been laid off from a great job due to the poor economy and they had to rely on savings to survive. Rita needs our help! We have started a fund called Rita�s Shares. We are looking for 100 compassionate friends that will donate $10 a month for one year. This will allow Rita to grieve and not worry about losing her home while she does so. We already have 41 people signed up and are looking for 59 more. We started the fund on May 27th. Ask friends of yours also. Let�s help Rita know that people care. Contact me for info on donations. Many thanks Rob jolly 901-737-9377 Actingrob@aol.com

Dear Tech Friends, Those of you who were at Tech during the era of art teacher Jobe Walker will be as saddened as I am today as I read his obituary in the Commercial Appeal. It is beautifully written and details a life of lovingly shared talent and service to others. He was a noble person and enriched our lives during our time at Tech. Fortunately, he knew he was appreciated, as so many former students have told me how they sought him out to tell him how he impacted their lives. May God bless and sustain his loved ones in his loss.

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 always read the obituaries and I hope everyone does. Thomas Wilber Kitchens passed away February 6, 2010. Services will be Saturday February 13, 2010 at Forest Hill South. Not only did Thomas attend Tech but his brother Leroy was Tech '54, his brother Bobby was Tech '56, and his sister Mary Jane was Tech '60. I wonder if anyone knows if this family once lived in the Hollywood Community and attended Hollywood Junior High School. If so I went there with their little brother "Andy".

Not to worry Louise! Your class my have not been the worst after all! I was at Tech in 1972, and I feel as though I owe apologies to most of my teachers for acting like a fool and being such a poor student; especially Mrs. Stamper (who once told our English class that we were the most misearable examples of students she ever saw!) and Ms Shinault (my homeroom teacher), Mr. Marsh (for putting up with our crazy music we would play in Music Appreciation class), Mr. Jobe Walker (what a Saint and mentor he was!), and Mrs. Ruth Campbell (who I am sure I disrespected in History class). Bless all of them for their efforts in reaching out and trying to connect and make a difference! They never gave up, and as I look back on that experience, that is one lesson I won't forget!

Great website! After 40 years in higher ed administration I retired in 2008. I have continued my consulting work for the Association of Governing Boards. In 2000 I became President Emeritus and Regents Professor of Eastern Michigan University after 11 years as president. My most enjoyable experience at Tech was playing the lead in "Love is in the Air" (and shortly thereafter being kicked out of speech class for my ab-libbing). My greatest academic achievement at tech--winning the senior Enlish award. I think it was the only academic honor that Roland Pittman did not win that year. That dude was (and still is) super intelligent! Would enjoy hearing from any classmates. I chased my career all over the midwest and now live in Greenville, NC.

Regarding Danny Boyd's comments about never seeing fellow 1967 classmates checking in on the site. Well Danny, someone has to begin the process of looking for one, then another. Soon it takes on a life of it's own. If you haven't noticed, the 1967 Class contact person is not even from your class. It is Rob Jolly, Class President from 1970. If you are interested in taking on that role, I will be glad to assist you with information on locating fellow classmates. You have a much smaller class than the later years, so it should be much easier to tackle. Please email or give me a call to discuss if interested. My contact information is under 1969. Believe me,... it is very rewarding.

Today's Viewpoint section of the Commercial Appeal has an article on local school security, including a huge photo of the first floor corridor and office area of Northwest Prep, once our beloved Tech. Grads who haven't been inside the building in years will recognize the territory, virtually unchanged from the old days. It's a testament to the structural integrity of this great old building that it is still fulfilling its purpose in a new life.

Today just by chance I googled Tech High and was so happy to find this site! Does anyone remember me? or my brothers Mark Pipkins(1970-71)he played football and Butch Pipkins, he played basket ball? (73-74-75) I was kind of shy, I had Mrs Hunt for home room for 2 years and I also took cosmetology (3rd floor, Mrs Morris was my English teacher and she was very kind and encouraging to me. I see quite a few names that I remember- (Becky Dennington, Donna Sears) I have alot of good memories at Tech-The years have flown by so fast! I would love to go to a Tech Reunion-I have a 1973 Year book.

Several ladies from the 1969 Class took a mini trip to Nashville this weekend. Stayed at the Radisson, across from Opryland Hotel, Saturday night. We went to see the Radio City Rockettes Christmas Spectacular at the Grand Old Opry House. This was absolutely wonderful. We all had a GREAT time! These meetings are enjoyable and we ladies have renewed (and in some cases formed) lasting bonds with one another. These are the sisters I never had and I love you all for being a part of my life.

The last message about Thanksgiving baskets touched my heart, and I join Gary in his holiday wishes for the Tech High family. Generosity was one of the hallmarks of Tech students and faculty, especially at Thanksgiving and Christmas. Once, when our homeroom secretary was taking up our daily donations for our basket, Miss Margaret Kelly was in the hallway. She whispered to me with tears in her eyes that one of my homeroom boys who had just donated a dollar, maybe his lunch money, was from a family on the Guidance Department's list to receive one of the baskets. God bless all of you who loved and continue to love Tech.

My stepdad was William Kobeck, principal of Tech from 1976 to around 1980 when he was transferred to East High School. He was a great man. I remember many basketball and football games in Paris and Murfreesboro Tennessee when I was younger. Also, there were numerous games at Melrose and Northside along the way. I can't forget the vault in the office and all of the items that he would confiscate. His assissant principal was Freeland Brown, a wonderful man. He did his job very well, and allowed me posession of the gym anytime that I wanted on my own. Those days are gone for good! Rest in peace Mr. Kobeck, you were well loved, no matter which school you served! Brian Fitzgibbon

To the Class of 1969. Even today, I am still in awe over the response and attendance of fellow classmates, dear friends and teachers who attended this special occasion our 40th class reunion. It is because of each of you, this reunion exceeded our expectations. A lot of dedication and determination from a great group of people went into making this one of the best reunions ever. Thank you Rita Collier Harrell, Maria Sorondilas Burkhardt, David French, and James Malone for allowing me to be a part of the 1969 reunion committee. Thank you, Theresa Deckard Clinton and your young assistant Holly for decorating those fabulous Yellowjacket bobble heads. Thanks for the decorations, balloons and most of all the beautiful table in remembrance of deceased classmates. Thanks to Jim Barnett, his son JT, and Corey of the Meat n Cider Cooking Team for preparing and serving some great barbeque with all the fixings. I want to thank Charlotte Logan, Pat Nykodem Malone (70), and Barron Wilkes who served as our greeters, and Maria Sorondilas Burkhardt for working the merchandise table. Rob Jolly for bringing his wonderful collection of Memphis Tech High memorabilia. To all the ladies who baked or brought some of the best desserts ever, thank you.

And to the ones who were not able to be there I wish you well and look forward to seeing you at the next reunion.

Your efforts produced a day filled with great food, many fond memories, re-connections and hopefully newly re-attached bonds of friendship. It was great "catching up" a bit with many of you and I hope to keep in touch and see you all again soon. Thanks to Trilby for finding me and David for continuing to contact me and urge me to attend. What a BLAST! LOVE TO ALL,

This is worth sharing. My wife and I were shopping out of town recently when this attractive, very jolly lady asked if I went to Tech in Memphis. Turns out this lady with the amazing memory was Carolyn Hickey, class of '54. Although she has some health problems, she was cheerful and a delight to talk to. We chatted about old memories at Tech, about her friends from Lamar Terrace and mine from Hollywood. She and her husband live in Trimble, TN and are happy there. I told her about this website and she plans to start using it. It was indeed a pleasure to see and talk to Carolyn and learn how life has been for her the past 56 years. Would like to hear from you.

I agree with the last poster, Emily Ruth, that more people need to know about this wonderful site. After retiring, I enjoy so much having Tech's history at my fingertips and being able to communicate with former students and faculty friends. Here's a suggestion: If we all use sites like Classmates, MySpace, Facebook, and other resources, we can locate and tell every Tech friend to spread the word. Let's start a communication chain!

Hello everyone. I was just browsing through the messages and thought that I would write and say hello. It looks like the class of 1969 is going to have a great reunion in September. I noticed several people mentioned that they had served many years in the military and had come back to Memphis to live. No one knows what coming home feels like more than someone in the military. I just wanted to send out a big "thank you" to those who have served us so well. I love coming back to Memphis from Los Angeles to visit whenever I can. Good health, and good luck to all. Jimmie D.

Hi classmates of '69. I am thoroughly enjoying this walk down memory lane. I'm living in Kennesaw, Georgia now with my wonderful husband, (at last) Bruce. He's from Louisiana. I am a country girl now. I raise vegetables and have a beautiful flower garden as well. I remember the Tech days when we all met at Walgreen's in the mornings and after school. I visit from time to time, but it just seems stale and lonely. I hope to go to the reunion. Sounds like a whole of fun. God bless!

I did not wait until graduation to leave. I spent almost 20 years in a marriage I thought would last a lifetime, but %#*& happens. I did get a wonderful son out of it. He is a Firefighter in Bartlett, married to a nurse, and I have the greatest Grandson. Whoa, don't get me started! I've been married for over 20 years to Bob Vick who has been the best. I've spent almost 9 years with cancer 3 times, open heart surgery, ruptured appendix, and almost had a stroke. Bob has been a wonderful caregiver. I am not in remission. You may know my step-brother James (Jimmy) Columbus, now goes by Chris. He lives with Bob and me. He was in the Navy and went all around the world. Was married, but now divorced. No children. You may know Patty Columbus (Kirshner). She is divorced and has an apartment with her son. Her son and daughter are in college. I keep in touch by email with Regina Lee (Page). Would like to find Keneth Holland. Would like to know about Lee Starr and David Paxon.

Hello Kathy, Re your Guest Book entry (below)and your email. Since the class of 1975 did not have a yearbook published, this website has tried to create an online yearbook for them. Unfortunately we did not have an official list of 1975 graduates so it's likely that names may be missing or names listed that are not accurate. When we hear from members of this class, we are happy to make adjustments or corrections. Your name has been added to our 1975 pages next to your brother's name. And his middle name has also been added. Best regards, Gene Gill Webmaster, Tech Alumni website

Hello Tech High Graduates - especially the Class of 1969. I really enjoyed reading the message board. Would love to hear from more Techites! In 1969 I married my high school sweetheart, John Smith. (Class of 1968) We have been married almost 40 years and we live in Millington, TN. We have four wonderful daughters and seven grandchildren ranging in age from 15 - 4. They are the greatest and we love spending time with them. We stay pretty busy going to football games, basketball games, soccer and baseball games. Lots of fun! Can't believe that this year will be 40 years since I graduated. Time has really flown. John works for the Shelby County School system and I have a photography business. Hope to read more messages. I love reading about what my high school friends are up to.

I did not say much the first time I signed in. After graduation I went into the Navy and ended up in Naval Air. I served in 9 different types of aircraft including helicopters. I served 20+ years including 4 tours in Vietnam as a door gunner and rescue crewman picking up down pilots. When I got out I went back to the University of Arkansas and received a Bachelor of Architecture degree. My wife, Sue, and I will be married 40 years in December. We have 4 children, 19 grandchildren, 7 great grandchildren with the 8th due in June. I am now retired and we are living in Ralston, OK, the town where Sue was born and raised. When we move to Ralston in 2006 it was our 38th move in 38 years of marriage. Needless to say we are finally settled. I am on the city council and have a large garden and flower beds which I enjoy very much. We don't go far anymore because of Sue's health but we are very happy just being home. e-mail if you would like

Hi all, I'm the last of the last :) Married Sherry McMahon (class of '87) in 1988 after I joined the Navy. We have two children Paris-Antony (18) and Jessica Alexandria (11) together. We divorced in 2006. Great marriage for the most part but Atheism and Christianity doesn't mix too well. I've settled in Florida working for Verizon (Senior Systems Architect) supporting enterprise level Intel-based computer solution and networks You can find me here :) http://www.facebook.com/home.php?ref=home#/profile.php?id=535433175&ref=profile

I went to Tech from '67 through'69 and would have graduated in '70 but chose instead to get married and graduated from Memphis Technical Evening School...so I'm still in a way an alumni. I scrolled through the pictures and saw alot of familiar faces. My all time favorite teacher was Helen Thompson, cosmetology class, but I also remember a Mrs. Yanschechan, English, does anyone remember her, the name was Russian. Some familiar names and faces were Theresa Freeman, Terry Hinds, Mary Kay Soseby, just to name a few.

Hello all Techites. The purpose of this message is twofold. First to say hello to everyone and secondly to share some exciting information with everyone as well. In recent years I have had the priviledge of getting to know one of our 1962 graduates who has become one of the most revered and honored Blues harmonica players in the world today, Mr. Charlie Musselwhite. Many of you are probably aware of the long and extremely influential career that Charlie has had since starting his journey soon after leaving Tech High school in 1962. Charlie's music is legendary from Mississippi to Memphis to Chicago,through California and throughout the world. That in itself is an amazing story, but what I want to share with you today is this. On April 24th 2009 Charlie Musselwhite will be honored with a special Blues Marker in Kosciusko Ms. at 3pm. The state of Mississippi is creating a "Blues Trail" throughout the state to honor its Blues heritage and promote tourism within the state. This is truly a wonderful honor for Charlie and one that we can all share in with pride. Knowing that Tech High grads are spread far and wide I just wanted to get this info out and if anyone happens to live in the area of Kosciusko you would be welcome at the ceremony because it is open to the public. Please check out www.msbluestrail.org or Charlie's website at Charliemusselwhite.com for information on this event and other exciting news. Also, Charlie will be playing in Memphis at B.B.Kings on Wednesday April 23rd. If you like great Blues music this will be a great show I'm sure. Thanks for your time and all my best to you all. I would love to hear from anyone who feels like writing, whether I know you or not. ha. J.D. Smith class of 1968.

It's been awhile since i've logged on to the site. I miss you guys. Ouida Robertson, Don Mcnamee, Ira King, Teri Boyce, Laura and Leslie Voyles (the last I heard, the family had moved to Henning). PLEASE, get in touch. I've been living here in the Boston area almost my entire life but I miss you guys and hanging out. My mom is living in Texas now so I don't get the chance to come to Memphis that often but if you guys got in touch, it would give me a reason too. I spoke to Ruth Campbell, who's now living in California, a few years ago and she sounded fine. I would love to know what you guys are up to. And to Robert Frost, if you read this, Thank you so much for taking me to channel 5 to see 'behind the scenes' of Swiing Shift. If not for YOU I would not have my present career as a tv technician for the CBS affiliate in Boston. I've been there for over thirty years and it's all because of YOU. Thanks dude.

My sister, Dee, sent me this site today and I have been riding down memory lane! looking at pics of classmates and teachers of long ago. I saw the photo of Mrs. Macdonald (the one in Carolina) - when was this photo taken and do you know if she is still alive? I would like to thank her for being the most influential person in my young life at Tech High. She truly was a great teacher for me. I am showing all these great photos to my grandsons tonight and many thanks to those who put this site together to carry on the tradition of our school. I attended the 20 yr. class reunion and had been married 21 yrs. then - still married to same Dale I met while in the eleventh grade at Tech. This is year number 42! I guess this accomplishment helps ease the fact that I did not graduate with the class of 1968, but I was there to see them graduate and I attended the 1968 beauty review to see friends participate. I saw Mrs. Macdonald the last time at that 20th. reunion - I guess in 1988. Thanks, Anne

Hello Rick, When you visit FaceBooK again, type "Memphis Tech High School" in the search box. There is a listing for "us". Tech also has very prominent listings with all the search engines (Google, Yahoo, MSN, etc), as well as excellent coverage by Wikipedia - the #1 encyclopedia of the internet <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tech_High_School> As a member of FaceBooK, if you think there should be another type of listing on the FaceBook website, please add it. We hope you will also link it to our Tech Alumni website, because "this is the place" where you will encounter the most Tech graduates. Best regards, Gene

Hello to All Tech Graduates, Just surfed through the class email contact section of this "Super Website". It was most noticeable the number of open years seeking that one class member to step-up and take on this most rewarding role. Other classes have Rob Jolly as their contact when he should only have 1970. Rob did not graduate in 1967, 1971 or 1972. So I want to challenge Tech graduates of 1954, 1967, 1971, 1972, 1982, 1985, 1986 and 1987 to take up this most important and rewarding leadership role. It can also become a fun filled exercise that can be shared with other class members. After looking through all guest book entries, I noted that the above classes have had at least one member to sign the Message Board with some classes multiple times. We know you are out there, so come on and show your school spirit once again. You will be glad you did. If anyone is considering this role and wants to contact me as to what to expect or how to best begin, please call 678-516-1305. Thank You

We have such a wonderful website to be proud of, all of which would not be possible without Gene's Vision and Rob's Passion for Good Ole Tech High School. The Class of 1969 will soon be approaching the 40th Anniversary of our graduation which I believe was Monday, May 26th; also my Mother's 43rd birthday. Over the past 18 months, I have challenged myself to locate our entire class. With approximately 260 students, we have located 137 or just over one-half (Sadly, 18 of the students located are deceased of 7% of our class). So I am seeking your support in assisting me to locate the rest of us. Please do not hesitate to email or phone me (678-516-1305) with any information, suggestions or leads you might have. It truly is rewarding to locate someone, many times for both parties. When you have a spare moment, please browse through the Tech Alumni website as well as the Class of 1969's pages. It is guaranteed to put a smile on your face. Looking forward to speaking with many of you in the near future. Kindest regards, Dave

Today's Commercial Appeal carries an engagement photo of Daryl Braden and his future wife. It brings back memories of Tech's dynamic 1974 basketball team, where he was one of the "three Daryls," playing along with Cornelius, John, Milton, and the rest of a great squad. Terri and Marcia led a team of outstanding cheerleaders. Daryl is still employed at UAB, his alma mater. Best wishes, Daryl!

I was just sitting here on a hot August Sunday evening in Southern California browsing thru this wonderful website and thought I'd just say hello. Hope all is well with former classmates and friends. I've had a marvelous time reconnecting with old (long time)ha, friends and enjoying the pleasure of talking to them about how life is going for them. I love hearing from anyone from Tech and it doesn't matter to me if we were in the same class or not. Looking forward to hearing from you. Good times to you and God Bless. jd smith

I just found the website and it is great. A lot of names I remember, but some I don't. Does anyone know where Bailey Wilkes is? I saw Steve King's name, glad you are doing so good. I am still in Memphis working at a hospital as an administrative secretary. Keep up the good work.

I came across the story of Mr. Terrell and wanted to add my sympathies. I was lucky for I knew Mr. Terrell prior to his coming to Tech. He was a teacher at Corry Jr. High in South Memphis which I attended prior to coming to Tech. I had the pleasure of being taught by him AND his lovely wife. Coach Terrell was tough but man was he fair. He never looked at you as black or white. He always looked at your potential to be a good student and graduate. He scared me to death but I was just a young kid trying to make it in a new environment. He was a fair man and I will not soon forget him. To Mr. Terrell's family I offer my condolences. To Mr. Terrell, you have my thanks,and most of all my respect. May you rest in peace.

I'm trying to locate Don McNamee (class of '71'). It's been decades and I would love to find out what happened to him. I used to be in contact with Ouida Robertson but lost her two. Where the heck are you guys? I miss you both. I saw Ira King on classmate and got in touch but never heard from him. I would love to hear from any Techie. It gets lonely up north.

First, I would like to thanks Gene Gill and Sue Johnson and all who make this web site possible. You guys have done an awesome job! It brings back so many wonderful memories. I often wonder what has happened to many of my classmates and friends. I didn't know it then but I do now, Tech was some of the best years of our lives. May I give thanks to teachers like Ms. Elliott and Coach Wright and others whom not only care about teaching a curriculum but also teaching us about life and responsibility. Gene and Sue once again thank you for this site where we can go and reminisce days gone by. Come on class of 1975 we want to hear from you!

This site brings back memories from the VIP English Teacher at Tech High School. I have many fond memories of the years spent here. When Tech closed, I remained with CPSEC, later Pyramid Academy, and taught English to pregnant and parenting teens. Currently, I am coordinator of the Parenting Program in the same location. So you see, I'm still at Tech! Love to all!

Thank you, Gene, for such a wonderful place for the grads of Tech High to visit and renew friendships. I've browsed this site for hours and still haven't gotten my fill! What wonderful memories it's brought back. Hello to all my '66 classmates out there - Glenda Dearing, Ray Driggers, Steve Wright - and all the others. It's been so nice "visiting" with all of you once more!
