50th Class Reunion -- October 23 and 24, 2009

Pre-Spring Social at Mary Futch's Lakeside Home

The LHS Class of 1959 held its pre-Spring soiree on the evening of March 8, 2008. The setting was the beautiful lakeside home of Mary Futch. Many thanks, Mary. In the photographs below, I have attempted to show everyone that attended. However, I forgot to have anyone take my(Allan Davis's) photo.

The center photo above shows beautiful Lake Lester, a private lake upon which Mary Futch lives. Those of you who have never been to Mary's home have missed a really beautiful experience.

The photo at the upper left features, from the left, Bobby Davidson, Barry Sears, and Ferrin Hicks. In the background, you can see Annette Davis (green sweater) and way off to the far right is Charlie Page.

The photo in the upper right features, in the foreground, Barry Sears and his friend, Stacy Bean. In the background are Roger Sherman and Charlie Page.

Rodney James Answers Larry Hale's Tennis Challenge

[Quote from Rodney James]

"I talked to Lax Taylor yesterday, March 1st concerning the proposal put forth by Larry Hale involving a tennis match between the old geezers from the 59 era. Lex remembered the singles match played for the county championship between himself and our own  Larry Hale back in 1959. Lex was a graduate of Bartow High School and though he admits Larry got the win in that event, he said that Larry was lucky. He would like to face him again. Lex went on to the University of Florida and is now a practicing attorney here in Lakeland. He is a friend of our own Jimmy Musso. I first met Lex during one of my visits to Fat Jacks to enjoy their cheap two egg special for breakfast. Lex, Jimmy and I have that in common we love cheap value breakfast deals and Fat Jacks fills the bill. l think it would be fun to play a tennis match against Larry and Dave Beerman.  Hope it works out."
