What a great weekend!! Thanks reunion committee for a great weekend. It was fun seeing you all. And I'm really glad ya'll remembered your cameras, so I can see everybody I missed in person. Let's not wait another 10 years guys. Keep in touch.

Boy, that was a blast! I have some really really great pictures from Friday and Saturday nights...if I can figure out how to post them somewhere and then send a link. We gotta make an annual date to meet somewhere, like second Fri/Sat of June and definitely need to plan a 35th and get a committee together.

WOW! What a TURNOUT! Kudos to the Reunion Committee! Hated to miss out on the Pre-Party festivities...but was just too tired from the drive in from N'ville...did anyone get a picture of Patricia in the Pacesetter uniform??? I want PROOF it does still exist!!! ::laffin:: it was great to see the "left overs" at Rick-n-Robins afterwards...hope everyone keeps in touch and here's hoping this website remains up and running!! what a GREAT way to communicate!

Thanks to all who worked to put together a really nice event. Obviously a lot of effort went into tracking down the missing Trojans. Great work by the reunion committee. And thanks to Phil Lewis for the last minute (well last week anyway) reminder. It was great to see everyone. I can't believe I was the only band nerd there. (Carson / Waddelow I hope you see this) We had such a great time, I'm sorry I missed the 10yr & 20yr. I suppose there's always the 40yr where we'll all be talking about grandkids by then.

I just wanted to thank the reunion committee and everyone else who had a hand in making the reunion such a great success. Your hard work was truly appreciated.

Thanks everybody - it was a blast! Take care and keep in touch. Much love -

Thanks to everyone who planned the reunion. You guys did a great job. It was so nice seeing everyone again.

I enjoyed seeing everyone Saturday. Who ever picked the band did a great job, they captured the '70's music perfectly! Looking forward to doing it again next year. Thanks for setting everything up Patricia! :-)

The band is "Bonefrog" - I chose them after good recommendations from Phil Brady's staff and also good newspaper reviews. I used Mike Truitt's credit card to pay the band!!!!!! Thanks MIKEY!!! :)  (PS - I also added a BIGGGGGG  tip)!Next year's date: June 20, 2009 !PAO

Class of "77

Thanks so much to the Reunion Committee! Love the website! A special thanks to Debbie Fagot Roussel for the lovely photo she sent in of me in the photo album. My 15 year old daughter asked me if I had a mullet, I said no, just a bad hair day! I am searching through my old photos of Debbie for the perfect picture to post!!!! Can't wait to see everyone!

Looking forward to the reunion!

Thank you to all who are responsible for putting this together. Does anyone know where Karen Heil is?

Hey, Brenda - Tell Randy he'd better be there - it wouldn't be the same without him! I just bought my ticket to the event, so I guess I'll be there . . . better get a plane ticket! Later -

Thanks to the reunion committee for your efforts in pulling this event together. Thanks to Barbara Calkins Ruiz for tracking me down and inviting me for a slumber party during the reunion weekend to do some "catching up" with everyone. Time to buy my plane ticket!

This is getting exciting! At the first reunion (I don't remember much about the last one), awards were given out for Traveled Farthest, Most Kids, etc. What? This time will it be Fewest Wrinkles, Most Grandkids, Least Likely to Wear Depends, Has All Their Own Teeth... Thanks Brian for putting this together. I know it was a lot of work! Thanks for the reminder to buy tickets too! I forgot...But now I'm good.

well...I GOT my TICKETS!!! :-) ...I'm gonna TRY to get down in time for Phil Brady's, but if not, will see everyone Saturday night! Pulled out my year books too! :-)

Holy shiznit ! Now I can cross one more off the list of a "thousand things to do before I die" . Oh,I really am looking foward to seeing EVERYBODY! Please don't take my bio seriously , I was just trying to be funny ,you know like that Tim Smith dude. But really Cheers

Here's to our reformed padre Steve D./Was lost for awhile, but the light he did see./Yes he's turned in his collars,/Now stuffing g-strings with dollars,/And enjoying a life of excess and debauchery

Sorry I missed Phil Brady's Saturday.  Speaking of excess & debauchery, I was on a golfing & gambling boondoggle at Dancing Rabbit Resort in beautiful downtown Philadelphia, MS!I hope they told you I left my card number for you guys to use Saturday night.  What was the final bill?  Did I leave a good tip?

Silly me.  I don't know where I got the idea the event was this past weekend!  I swear I was good boy this weekend!  :-)

Wish I could be there. Although I did not graduate from Tara, I have always considered Tara my High School. After graduating from LSU (1981), I've been out about in the Air Force for 26 years--it's been a real blast. I would love to be there and share stories, but the timing isn't working out. Have a great time, I'll be thinking of you all. Steve Steve

coming in for a long weekend. meeting up with the gang. were going to go to phil bradys for a little while sat. night. hope to see all of you there.

40 years!?Really!?Can you hear me now?Looking forward to filling in the blanks on the 13th!

Hello Tara Trojans - Class of 1977. 30 years...WHEW! It seems like yesterday.

Is Truitt buying the drinks again?

There was a young boy named Truitt,who didn't quite know how to do it.Then he met a young Franklinwho gave him a spanklin,and now he can trust his intuit.P.S. Yes, Debbie, oops I mean Debra, just remember the mantra: " Put it on Mike Truitt's tab! "

 Some of us are getting together for a Westdale reunion at Boudreau and Thibodeaux's Sat. Nov. 7. This is short notice, but come by during happy hour 5-7. Hope to see you there.

Sorry I can't make the June 14 reunion.  I just spent a week in La. helping my mom.  Maybe next year.

This sounds like a fun party. Thanks to the ones involved putting this together. I look forward to seeing everyone.

Hello everyone!

I'm glad I stumbled upon this email.so many memories

Can't believe the reunion is almost here! I have been digging through pics and have a few of my own. I wonder who I could put up there???...Anyway, I'm looking forward to seeing so many of you. I know we'll all look the same. :) Jodie

WOW!! this is GREAT! I am SO looking forward to this event!! I'll be driving in from N'ville, so won't make the pre-party, but you can bet your pacesetter shoes I'll see everyone at the Reunion event!! is anyone else bringing year books??? ;-) My pacesetter uniform dry-rotted...lol... go figure...I guess I'll be stuck in "civilian attire" ::laffs:: I DO hope this stays up and running even AFTER this event in order to stay in touch with everyone and to locate others that have been out-of-touch!

When and where? 

Brian -- Looks fantastic! Thanks for putting this together so we can all get in touch and stay in touch. Angie

Hey class of '77. It will be great to see everyone after all these years. Some of you I haven't seen since graduation. Thanks Barbara for contacting me. Pretty clever how you went about it. I hope I'm not the only one that's gotten old. See you at the party!

It was so great seeing everyone and catching up with a lot of you - I'm sorry I didn't get to spend more time talking to more people! I updated my info on the classmates page, and I hope the rest of you who did not provide full disclosure before will go back and fill in the blanks! Drop me a line if you're gonna be in DC and we'll do lunch.

This site is a Great Idea! Hope everyone jots a note in the guest book for all to read. Big Brother Randy wants to know if he can come the Class of '77 reunion. Shall we invite him?

LOOKING FORWARD TO SEEING EVERYONE. AFTER 30 YEARS, SHOULD BE INTERESTING.
