Okay I didn't have a lot of time today but maybe this weekend....here are a couple of pictures to get us started and I hope many of you have some good ones you can send me . I stunk as a photographer Saturday night but will post what I have that turned out pretty good, until I get some good ones from all of you :)

Thanks to All

noreply@blogger.com (dt) — Mon, 17 Sep 2007 13:01:00 +0000

Well, it's over. I hope you all had a good time and got back home safely. It was great to see so many and get to meet some of your spouses and kids. Thank you ALL for coming... it wouldn't have been possible without you. A special thanks to Dorothy for the name tags, Anita for putting the directories together, Brent for helping Marcy and setting up on Friday, Laurie for being there every step of the way and working so hard, Tani for all her hard work and the name tags, Jennifer for all her help and getting the banner and of course our class president Marcy for organizing us all! Thanks to those ladies for also working the check-in table on Saturday night! The pictures and directories will hopefully go out by the end of the week. We are getting together on Wednesday to prepare them for mailing....sorry for any inconvenience.

We would like some feedback on what you enjoyed, didn't enjoy, would like to see in the future, etc. You can email me at denise@curtoons.com or you can post your comments here.

Once again, thanks....I had a great time and hope you did too!

You are Missing it!!!

It isn't too late!! If you aren't here, drop everything and hurry over!!! We are having tons of fun catching up and meeting people. And I don't think we look like we have been out of high school 20 years! Remember 7:30pm Oakwood Country Club, you can still make it!

A Great Beginning!

noreply@blogger.com (dt) — Fri, 14 Sep 2007 05:11:00 +0000

So the weekend began early...Thursday night, part of the class of 1987 kicked off reunion weekend at Mickey's! Hope you have been keeping up on the website because we wanted everyone to join us. It is so great to see familiar faces and reconnect with old friends. If you are on the fence about coming...just do it, you won't regret it. Twenty years post high school is a great place to be in life :0) (wow never thought I would say that!) Just come enjoy the company and friendship of those you grew up with, those you shared awkward and exciting times with, those that knew you then and those who want to know you now, those with whom you share a wonderful bond...grade school, junior high and high school. Share memories with those you don't even remember being in school with! LOL! Heck, there are memories we don't even remember, we are getting so old.(he he ha ha) I was having second thoughts about being at our 20 (I was nervous, and feeling awkward, I didn't go to the 10 despite being in town)...and I even helped plan this one...but I can think of no better place to be right now. You won't regret it, join us. We will miss you if you aren't here!!!!

Friday Golf Info

noreply@blogger.com (dt) — Thu, 13 Sep 2007 21:28:00 +0000

Tee times will begin at 10:15 am. We will have four consecutive groups. I recommend that we meet at the pro shop around 9:45 am. I just spoke to David North (1986 EHS alum), OCC Club Manager and Executive Chef. Everything is in place for tomorrow. I would like to thank both David and Tim Mendenhall for their generosity and hard work.

Breakfast or Coffee Saturday Morning

noreply@blogger.com (dt) — Thu, 13 Sep 2007 01:51:00 +0000

Another informal gathering of sorts....there is a great coffee place downtown called DaVinci's that will be open on Saturday from 7am to noon and some of us are getting together for coffee and pastries around 8:30 before the parade (if we don't have TOO good a time on Friday night and are unable to function that early). This is a great little "Enid" spot and is worth visiting while you are here so try to make it! Corner of Oklahoma and Grand downtown...see you there!

Probably Not the Last of the Last Minute Details

noreply@blogger.com (dt) — Tue, 11 Sep 2007 23:50:00 +0000

There are a couple of informal get-togethers that we want everyone to know about. The first is Thursday evening at Mickey's Bar and Grill in Heritage Hills Shopping Center on Willow at 8pm. All are welcome and if you have any questions then you can contact Dustin @ 316-393-8265 but REALLY all you need to do is SHOW UP (unless you get lost :)). Then on Sunday, if you are still around, Jynni Lewis and her dad started a Winery and there are some classmates talking about going out there for a tour, wine and free concert Sunday afternoon! They open at 1p.m. and the concert is from 3:00 p.m. - 6:00 p.m. Snacks, wine, & Grape Juice served on deck. Performers include Brandi Morris, T.Z. Wright & Jim Nay. Here is a link to the winery for directions: http://www.indiancreekvillage.com/index.mydop
and you might email Jennifer Voelzke Gideon if you are interested jenngideon@gmail.com

If You Can't Make It..

noreply@blogger.com (dt) — Tue, 11 Sep 2007 18:27:00 +0000

I have had a couple of requests to post photos of the reunion so those who can't make it can see all the fun they missed.....so if you can't make, it check back and I will post photos. I may not get them on here by Sunday or Monday but I will get them on as soon as I can. So if you are coming to the reunion and you take some photos you want me to post just email them to me and I will put them on. denise@curtoons.com

Parade information

noreply@blogger.com (dt) — Mon, 10 Sep 2007 20:21:00 +0000

Well, is everyone ready? I am, I don't know about all of you. We have run into one small snag on the parade ride. Turns out only about 10 people can ride in the parade. There was a little miscommunication on what the class would be riding in....it is actually a wagon and not a trailer which is what some of us thought. So......the plan has changed and we are going to watch the parade together at the corner of Grand and Randolph by the old 1st National Bank Building. If you want to ride on the wagon (and we want some of you to!) meet at that corner at 9:15am on Saturday. The rest of us just need to be there by the time the parade starts! Travel safe everyone and can't wait to see you!

Sonya Hill

noreply@blogger.com (dt) — Wed, 05 Sep 2007 18:34:00 +0000

While we are preparing to come together as a class for our 20 year reunion in just a few days, I would like for everyone to keep the family of our classmate Sonya Hill in your hearts and prayers. It is with a heavy heart that I post this news..below is Sonya's obituary, she passed away this Sunday after battling breast cancer. For all that remember her, you know what a sweet and wonderful person she was and that she will be missed by all those that she touched during her 38 years.

Sonya Gayle Payne

On September 2, 2007, Sonya Gayle Hill Payne, age 38, left this life to be with her Lord and Savior. For the last year she fought a valiant fight against breast cancer. Wife, mother, aunt and friend to all, Sonya will be remembered for her radiant smile, always-caring heart and her beautiful curly hair. Sonya was born on February 17, 1969 in Enid, OK. She received her Bachelors degree from Oklahoma Baptist University in 1991. While attending Oklahoma Baptist University she met the love of her life and future husband, Alan, whom she married in 1992. She received her Masters degree from Dallas Baptist University in 1987. She is survived by her husband of 15 years, Alan; and their children, Savannah, Hudson, Katy and Clara. She is also survived by her mother, Nancy Mihura of Earlsboro, Oklahoma. She was preceded in death by her father, Dr. Leon Hill. Alan and the family want to express their sincere appreciation to all the wonderful doctors, nurses, and staff of Texas Oncology for their care during this past year. A special thank you goes to Dr. O'Shaughnessy and Priscilla. Services are 10:00 AM Thursday, September 6, 2007 at Oak Crest Baptist Church in Midlothian. Burial will follow at Midlothian Cemetery.

I have an update on the golf from Joey Armstrong: "We will be playing at Oakwood CC. They are discounting the rate to $50 per person, incuding cart for non members. The club will accept cash for greens fees. There will be a cheer cart available to us throughout the round. Cash accepted there as well.

Enid High Class of 87

noreply@blogger.com (dt) — Wed, 07 Mar 2007 05:52:00 +0000

OK Everyone...we are on our way!!! The reunion is September 14-15,2007. Friday night will start at 5:30 at good 'ol D.Bruce Selby Stadium under a tent on the practice field. Food will be cooked by the Grey Beards and you will pay them. Traditionally it is a hot dog/hamburger type meal and very inexpensive! This game is HOMECOMING!!! Come see the million homecoming queen candidates that now line the field pre-game...you just won't believe it! After, we plan to gather at Pastimes to catch up with old friends.

Saturday the Cherokee Strip Parade is at 10 am, we will do a tour of the high school and a group picture at 4pm, and then off to Oakwood Country Club around 7:30 for heavy hors d'oevres, and some 80's music! We are still working on the details of this day so keep checking back.

There is a golf game in the works too and should be plenty to do around town since it is the Oklahoma Centennial Celebration combined with Cherokee Strip Days. I will post that schedule later on.

The committee is planning on keeping this weekend casual, relaxed and just a good time to see a lot of faces from the past! We will send invitations with more details and cost in the coming months. Plan on joining us!

Looking for Classmates!!!!
