October
16th, 17th, and 18th, 2009- The
weekend was really better than we even expected. People
showed up at the last minute that never said they were coming.
I (Debbie Shelor) had a great time. Everyone I've talked
to said they had a great time. And the people who thought
about coming and then didn't for whatever reason say they
wish they had. We've had several requests that the next
one be in 5 years, not 10. So I'd say overall it was a great
success.
How it all began: I saw a few people at
the 10-year reunion. But other than that, I kept in touch
with no-one until about a year ago when I joined classmates.com.
Suzen (Paisley) Flinchum sent me a message on classmates
asking if anyone was doing a reunion. Somehow I ended up
on facebook and we all just started finding each other on
there. Sometime - I think around October - I was live chatting
on Facebook with Wayne Frye and we started talking about
a reunion. We just decided to do it ourselves. Suzen came
on board. I convinced her to chair the thing since I couldn't
hold meetings living out in Santa Fe, NM. I didn't know
then that I'd be moving back to Radford - something I never
ever imagined doing. Quickly Brad Harvey and Joe Abercrombie
got on board and we had our "team." We were blessed
to have Suzen's event planning expertise. (She does it professionally).
It took us about a year to find everyone we were able to
find.

Volunteers
Needed:
Want
to get involved with the next reunion? It's not too early
to get started. We heard that many of you want to have the
next one in 5, not 10. I've agreed to keep the database
updated with current contact information and host this website,
but the rest is now up to someone else.
Your
Contact Information:
We
need to have your contact details. We are trying
to keep up with folks so its not so hard to find everyone
next time around. Please use this form if we don't yet have
your information or if your information has changed.
Ignore the questions about attending the reunion -
we'll use them again next time. Your information will not
be shared (except with your classmates and only if you say
it's O. K.).

Facebook:
Over
50 of your classmates - plus many more from the classes
of 78 and 80 are active on Facebook. Visit www.facebook.com
and set up an account. Be sure to include that you went
to Radford High School, Radford Virginia (there is another
one in Hawaii) in your profile. While in there, search for
RHS 79 Reunion and join the group. One of the most fun things
about Facebook, besides the games and quizes, is the sharing
of photos.
Classmates:
Many
of your classmates have profiles on www.Classmates.com.
We have found that it is not utilized by most and is much
less interactive than Facebook. But, you may find someone
on there that you aren't finding anywhere else. Over 60
of your classmates have classmates.com profiles.
