Minutes and other information of 3-9-99 Meeting
Kinky's House @ 7:30 p.m.

Hey all you Pioneers out there,

Before I start on the minutes (rather hours) of the meeting let's all give a big welcome to Dr. Steve "Knob" Alexander and Don Harmon to the BHS e-mail group. For those of you that don't know Steve is the local sawbones in Batesville (I'm not sure if he still lances boils) and Don is the El presidente of Jimco, a huge lamp manufacturing business in Bono (Jonesboro). Hey Don do we all get discounts on lamps? Glad to have you guys aboard.

Well we finally had another meeting. Present were Martha Sue, Susie, Linda C, Kinky and myself. The meeting was not called to order it just kind of happened. We discussed the meal cost, horse diver trays and alcoholic and those other beverages. Luckily we had Susie there and she knew all the fancy wine names. Linda and I thought Boone's Farm was the only winemaker but Susie didn't know any of the different flavors, Tickle Pink, Wild Mountain Grape or Kountry Kwencher so we are going to serve something out of a box called Merlot and Chardonnay. Kinky had some of the stuff in a box and we all had some (been a long time since I had wine where you didn't screw off the lid). We will also have a keg of beer and bar drinks and soft drinks will be available. There will also be hors d'oeuvres (see I do know what they are called) This will be Friday night.

We added up all the costs involved and decided to charge the same as we did at the 20 year reunion, $50 a couple and $25 single. We decided not to invite teachers primarily because Susie remembered the 10 year when she sat by Mrs. Newton and across from Ms. McGill. Mrs. Newton reminded Susie about the time she caught her cheating off Danny Dozier and told her if she was going to cheat she should pick someone besides Danny (no offense Danny). Susie was embarrassed because Ms. McGill heard her. So no Teachers.

We also decided that I should get the invitations out within the next two weeks so I'll be doing that chore shortly. I am wrestling with whether it is "30 year reunion" or "30th year reunion", any wordsmiths out there that can help? I want to make our English Teachers proud (Harold you probably still remember).

I got some new pictures from Kinky and will try to get them on shortly. I will e-mail everyone when I do. Martha Sue was getting tired about 9 and started trying to get Susie to leave. We wrapped up and the next meeting will be when I get the invites out and we start getting them back.

Susie is threatening to learn to operate her e-mail which she has but doesn't know how to work, we will see how that goes.

 
I'm going to watch Judge Judy. I'll be in touch.
