For the first time in a long time, I have to agree with Sandi. Thanks to this site, I've already been able to touch base with a good friend. Although I won't be able to attend the reunion, I will be able to feel a part of it. You speak to me with burning tongue, and I am ice, melting to quench your thirst T~

Still the same old Sandi. So good to see you are doing well. I wish I could make it down. Late summer between Jr & Sr year dad was transferred to Washington, DC. Even though I did not get to graduate from Englewood, I did get to attend the 20th reunion...it was so much fun. I took a lot of pictures at the 20th, if I can locate them, I will scan and post them.

I agree with the comments about something more casual (and less expensive). I am able to attend, but would have preferred a more laid-back setting, especially since I'm coming alone...no dance partner :(

I totally agree... with the price of everything... when did we get so upperclass??? We are the class that went against everything... the only one who dressed was "Mary Nona" as her mother called her. Our class dressed in jeans, shorts etc. I personally don't need all the "hoopla"

To all of my Classmates, Thank you for an opportunity to peek into your lives for a short time. It's been a blast to remember and relive a time in our lives that was so innocent and bright. To see where we've all gone and how we got there is nothing short of amazing. The joys, triumphs, heartaches and tragedies...it's all part of who we are now. I regret that I will not be able to attend and reconnect face to face with the people who were a part of my life in the beginning. I think it was Sandy who said we needed a couple kegs and just kick back and enjoy....that would be cool. Maybe someday in the near future. I'm game. Have fun this weekend. I'll be thinking of you all. Have one for me. And remember:
SENIORS FINE '69 !!! (AND IN '09 TOO!!) Love to all,
Susan

It is sad that not of our classmates could have been present for Rev. Jeff Hartman's Memory Presentation for our deceased classmates. Thank you Jeff and Robert Williams for heart warming and respectful presentation.
Below is a copy of the presentation with video forthcoming:

ENGLEWOOD HIGH SCHOOL CLASS OF 1969
REUNION – December 12, 2009 – REMEMBRANCE
By Rev. Jeff Hartman, our classmate

Tonight we see the images of some of our classmates.
If we are honest, there are some that we barely remember.
One by one – their pictures appear before our eyes.
Some we vaguely recall passing quickly in the hallway.
Others, more familiar, sat at a desk across the room.

Then, there it was – that special image of you!
Unmistakably you! Tonight I remember - and celebrate you.
And your image is fresh and sharp.
It seems like just yesterday we parted ways.
There was no one quite like you:
No face exactly like yours,
No one walked just like you, talked just like you,
Or even thought just like you.
There will never be anyone quite like you – ever!

As your image is reflected in this place
Memories flash across the screen in our minds.
The things we did together, the dreams we dreamed together,
The experiences we shared together,
The things that brought us close to each other,
These memories we will cherish in our hearts and keep forever.

Then we look around the room at faces present -
Faces of some we honestly don’t remember or else don’t recognize.
Forty years can bring a lot of changes – that’s certain!
Some classmates we barely passed in the hall or the parking lot
And other classmates were then, and always will be called “friend”.

But at this moment, and on this day we honor you, our classmates gone!
As well, we take some time to visit with old friends
And to make new ones from those who were able to attend.
And perhaps we stop to turn the faded pages of our Yearbook.
Englewood High School, Jacksonville, Florida –
Class of 1969 - that was our class!

Whether present – or not – every classmate holds a special place.
Some are here tonight. Others live near or far away.
And some not on the screen have also passed on.
Though we may be unaware - God is aware.
So, to all our classmates gone, we celebrate you, this moment, this night.
Though gone, you are still very much a part of us.
We remember - and forever honor you in our hearts!
