Frances Essex (Floyd)

Hey, Joe!  How is Wanda and Bill doing?  They were some great neighbors.  Sure miss them!  How are you  doing?  Are you in Jacksonville?                                                                                                                        

Pat, that is Suzanne Council.  I think she moved away during junior high.  Rose Culpepper is sitting in front of her.  She moved to Michigan after seventh grade.

Linda Siegel (Eason)

Love this picture!  And I recognize a few of the faces although I didn't know them until we all got to Southside Junior High....Frances, I think Mike Merritt must have been picking on you by the look on your face! 

Artiles Manuel Pelegrin

Hi Frances, hope everything is ok with you... Let me ask you a question did you keep in contact with Rose Culperpper

Joseph H. Johnson, (Jr. )

Frances Essex (Floyd)

Linda, I am sure Mike said something to make me mad.  We were always picking on each other in elementary school!

Artiles, I stayed in touch with Rose until we both graduated and then we lost track of each other.  She was one of my best friends at little Englewood.  We were always doing things together.

Joe, please do tell Wanda and Bill that Skee and I say "hi"!  Tell them to come see us when they are in Jax.  We still are at the same place!

Artiles Manuel Pelegrin

Hi Frances, thank you, Rose was my firts girl friend in the u.s.a, her mother did not wanted me around her. I just wanted to know..thank you

Frances Essex (Floyd)

Artiles, and to think all these years I thought I was your first girlfriend!  What a player you were!

Artiles Manuel Pelegrin

Danny W. Suber, Sr.

I'm pretty sure the girl to Frances' right is Frankie Bignon!

Frances Essex (Floyd)

Yes, Danny, that is Frankie. Do you know who the boy is sitting in front of her?  And does anyone know what happened to Frankie?  She wasn't with our graduating class. 

Wayne E. Solomon

Frankie married David Lea our sophmore year, dropped out of high school and stayed with her mother while David was in Viet Nam.  The last time I saw her was in 1969 I believe. My brother was engaged to her sister Mary Ann.

Danese Veates (Ballantine)

It is with great sorrow that I am notifying the Class of 1969, the passing of Danese Veates Ballantine.  Danese was an 18 year survivor of breast cancer.  In mid September, test were preformed in ER for a blockage of her bile duct and a stint was placed. Further tests showed the breast cancer had metastasis around her heart, in her lungs and abdomen.  The oncologist said that chemo would not provide her any guarantees to her life expectancies of 3 months.  Danese chose quality of life.  She had never played with her kids, grandkids and quilting Ladies.  She was enjoying Life.  Her requests were for everyone to ‘hug more.’

I know I share with all those who attended our 50th class reunion the appreciation, gratitude and thankfulness for all the hard work and dedication the reunion committee expended to organize and deliver an amazing reunion. From the treasure trove of EHS memorabilia, decorations, music and food a grand time was had by all.  The memorial tribute to those classmates who have passed on before us is a somber remembrance of friends lost and acknowledgment of our lack of immortality.

It’s always nice to see, reunite and reminisce with friends and loves of years gone by.

For those who could not make it to this year’s reunion, we hope you can make it to our next.

Bruce K. Stout

To all of the members, and family, who spent countles hours working on our 50th. Class Reunion, your work was shown to reap hundreds of times your efforts !!!  The attention to details and convictions to make it one for the ages... wasn't lost on ANY of the attendees!!!  I'm sure we ALL would still be applauding ( if our hands and arms hadn't grown weary many years ago !!! ).  Both Lisa and myself will be looking for the 55th and on for our next reunion!!!  Well done... falls short, but yet we still offer it !!!  WELL DONE !!!  

With sincerest of thanks,

Bruce & Lisa Stout

It seems we are missing a lot of Englewood 69 classmates on our website.  We can add additional classmates if we can confirm they graduated with our class.  Please let me know if have a list of our class graduates so we can make the additions.  Unfortunately, if they are not listed as a classmate they cannot access our website.

Johnny Reagan

OK, we listened to your recommendation about name tags being too small to read. So Robert Williams, our 55th Reunion Committee Leader, made maximum effort to make sure our name tags are large enough for all of us to read. However, I am still taking my readers to the reunion.  Good news, we have a professional photographer taking pictures.  We will be posting pictures on this website as soon as possible.  I am sure you will need to read name tags to ID most classmates. Yep, getting older and we are living proof all things do change as time goes on. Happy 55th!  Seniors Still Fine from 69.

Johnny Reagan

Well, Rams Class of 69 you did it again! Our 55th Reunion was a huge success.  Thank you so much for your support and positive feedback.  I can tell you that I have never seen so many people talking and reconnecting.  Classmates were so eager to catchup, share memories and life experiences.  It really seemed like a large family reunion.  Please give us some feedback on what you would like to see for our 60th.  We are listening :).  

Also, we are gathering all of our reunion photos and will be posting them on this website in the very near future. Please stay tuned for the posting.  We encourage you to post your pictures as well on your profile.  Please check out Greg Lynn's profile for some awesome reunion history photos.  Thank you Greg, for being a great classmate.

Again, please give us your recommendations for our upcoming 60th Reunion. Great health & blessings to all!

I want to thank everyone who organized the 55th and all the previous re-unions. In addition, I want to thank all that attended, as I had a great time visiting with classmates and their guests. The food was great, too.

However, I did notice that there was a lot of old folks at the party.

Maybe, one day I might get old.

Thanks again.
