We just wanted to say a big "Thank You" to the Alumni Committee for a job well done. The weekend festivities were great (except for the rain). We enjoyed seeing old friends and meeting new ones and discussing our high school days.
Thanks again for the time and effort spent to make a memorable weekend.

First Name: Billy Maiden Name: Last Name: Pless Jr. Class Year: 1972 Gala Feedback! Let Us Hear From You!: It was a very great time. From the football game to the dance on Saturday night. Everybody did a great job of putting it all together. Thanks to all of the staff that worked so hard on a great week end. One thing I was disappointed in was that more of the Class of 71 did not show up. But that is all right, the ones that were not there missed a great time. Again thanks to all and hope we can do something like it again soon. Love you all and hope to see you soon.
Enjoyed everything. Sorry I didn't see you. Where do I send some pix? Have a few. Thanks for your hard work. It was fun to see a lot of people. Did not recognize a lot of people so it was fun figuring out who everyone was. Thanks for the name tags. Marcella Clifton Sockwell
Thanks Carol. We really had a good time. I had planned to purchase a shirt and a couple of pens, etc… but they had left by the time we came back. Would these be available anywhere in the future? Thanks for all you hard work with the planning, etc…

Hi, Carol!
Chip and I were so disappointed to miss the festivities this past weekend. Chip woke up Friday morning with a terrible cold and just could not be out in that weather. I know everyone had a wonderful time. My sisters attended the gala on Saturday night and enjoyed it so much. Thanks, again, to all of you for all the hard work to make this such a special event.
Fondly,
Chip and Kitty Weddington

Carol, A tremendous thanks for your and the others hard work putting this on. A planner of my class reunions (1984) I know how much is invloved. But this was a BIG ONE. Thanks again! June Pryor
First Name: Crystal Maiden Name: Johnston Last Name: Smith Class Year: 1959 Gala Feedback! Let Us Hear From You!: What a wonderful event! Thank you to the Alumni Committee for creating a way for all of us to support North Rowan in many ways. I'm happy to report that three of the five grads from the Johnston family were there. Thanks for planning such a varied program. I enjoyed everything, including being "the oldest living drum major" on the field at the pregame show with classmates "BoBo" and Joyce marching in the band. Touring the school with Becky and Joyce was a really good way to see just how confident and poised the current North Rowan students are. They showed us all around and patiently listened to our stories of what it was like at North Rowan in the beginning. Here's hoping that the Class of 1959 will have a wonderful 50th reunion in 2009!
First Name: Lisa Maiden Name: Kluttz Last Name: Mays Class Year: 1987 Gala Feedback! Let Us Hear From You!: The Gala was a huge success! I was able to see so many friends that I have not seen in years. Everyone that I have spoken with has had nothing but good comments. Thanks to all that put this wonderful event together and hopefully we wont have to wait another 50 years before doing something like this again. Thank you again for all of your hard work. Thank you.

First Name: Barry Maiden Name: Last Name: Chambers Class Year: 1976 Gala Feedback! Let Us Hear From You!: I want to thank those who worked so hard to put this together.

First Name: Glenda Maiden Name: Weddington Last Name: Pritchard Class Year: 1972 Gala Feedback! Let Us Hear From You!: Carol, It was great to see you Sat.

First Name: Kyle Maiden Name: Last Name: Huffman Class Year: 1981 Gala Feedback! Let Us Hear From You!: The association's hard work showed in so many ways during the weekend. It was a blast to see so many alumni from the North community reunited for the common cause. Those that did not come to any of the activities really missed a special event. Again thanks to all those that helped with organizing all the activities!
We had a wonderful time the other evening. Thanks for all the hard work, it showed!

First Name: Karen Maiden Name: Wagoner Last Name: Matthews Class Year: 1992 Gala Feedback! Let Us Hear From You!: My husband and I came a long way for the Gala, it was a yucky rain during the homecoming game but there's nothing for us to complain because it gave me memories back that I used to watch football games back in the old days! Saturday night during the Gala & dance, it was a blessing that I got to see my favorite teacher - Mr Ron Corriher, it had been 15 years since I saw him then got to see the coach, Mr Secreast! I'm so glad that I got to see these two but sadly not hardly anybody from the class of '92 was there but it's ok because my husband and I had a great time! Thanks so much for having us to be involved with a great evening!

Let Us Hear From You!: Although I wasn't able to attend all of the festivities, I had a WONDERFUL time Thursday night at band practice and Friday night back on the field! Seeing Mr. Dunlap up there conducting the band was just awesome. It was as if 30 years just melted away to be back on the field on a Friday night. Thank you on the committee for your hard work that brought back so many wonderful memories for me!

First Name: Nancy Maiden Name: Clark Last Name: Thornburg Class Year: 1973 Gala Feedback! Let Us Hear From You!: Thank you so much to everyone who gave so much of their time putting this event together! The hospitality tents were especially great and provided a wonderful environment for "Meet and Greet" time. As some have mentioned, I didn't see many alumni from the class of 1972, but we had great representation from our class 1973! Enjoyed seeing everyone and look forward to our next reunion!
First Name: Donna Maiden Name: Holt Last Name: Savage Class Year: 1977 Gala Feedback! Let Us Hear From You!: Thanks to the whole committee for doing an amazing job putting the whole weekend event together. I attended the Saturday event, but from the looks of the slideshows, it was a wonderful well-planned time for everybody. I had a great time seeing old friends and teachers. For my first reunion ever, it sure was a fun one - and at the Trans Museum too - I liked that! Thanks again for all the planning, hard work, and thoughtfulness put into it.
First Name: SYLVIA Maiden Name: SWINK Last Name: REX Class Year: 1966 Gala Feedback! Let Us Hear From You!: HAD A GREAT TIME SATURDAY NIGHT. THANKS TO ALL WHO HELP BRING THIS TOGETHER. HATS OFF TO A JOB WELL DONE.
First Name: Randall Maiden Name: Last Name: Hyde Class Year: 1983 Gala Feedback! Let Us Hear From You!: An outdoor event such as this should have been held during a warmer time of the year. I enjoyed it but caught a bad cold.
First Name: Denise Maiden Name: Barnes Last Name: Beaver Class Year: 1968 Gala Feedback!

Thanks for all of the hard work you and your crew put in to get this Gala together. Speaking for the Class of 1980 we really appreciate everything that the staff did. Your staff enabled me to see some classmates that I haven't seen in years. Please post my email and hopefully they will see it. Looking for Mike Hairston, Rex Shuping and John Billings. They were all members of the Class of 1980 and I hope we all can stay in touch with each other. Again, thanks for all of your hard work.

First Name: Rita Maiden Name: Coble Last Name: Neel Class Year: 1975 Gala Feedback! Let Us Hear From You!: I was disappointed that I did not see anyone from my 1975 class. I know you did a hard job trying to get the event off the ground, but it was not as I expected. I know most of the people I spoke with were not pleased with the amount of money we had to pay to get in and then buy food and drinks too. The selection of foods and the type of food served was not the best. The prices were outrageous as well. The money used for the light show could have been used for finger foods at the meet and greet tent. The location was terrible and it was cold outside. The band was good. I just thought it would have been better than what I experienced. It was nice to see some people from other classes.
First Name: Mona Maiden Name: Quattlebaum Last Name: Hipps Class Year: "1986" Gala Feedback! Let Us Hear From You!: The Gala was a huge success. I enjoyed seeing so many alumni enjoying each other. The DJ was awesome. I hope another is planned again soon.
First Name: Bob Maiden Name: Last Name: Holt Class Year: 1969 Gala Feedback! Let Us Hear From You!: It's hard to believe that NRHS was only 10 years old by the time I graduated. After visiting the school things seem to be pretty much the same except for the new additions. It's always a treat to come back to Spencer. I truly had great memories growing up in Spencer. Seeing such a large turnout for the reunion was nice. I thought having the reunion at the Travel Museum was a great idea...I'm a big train buff anyway. Again thanks committee for all the hard work.....PS:for Steve Miller "Go Cats beat App"!!!
