Cherise Shipp (Lynch)
To everyone, Lynn, Cheryl, Trey, Debbie, who contributed to making our reunion so wonderful, I say thank you! I had such high anticipation, and was uplifted by the numerous bright eyes and smiles I was met with. Even though we had all changed, in one way or another, over the years, physically, our careers, where we lived, political viewpoints, children or not, I still connected to the children we were at 16, 17 and 18 years old. Kind and trusting, optimistic and full of dreams, and plans to conquer the world, and become so many things. Then life after graduation happened, and here we are 50 years later. I just wanted to say how priveledged I feel to have known so many of you, from grade school, on up to THS, and how much your friendships have met to me, and made me the person I am today. And a special thanks to Lynn, for letting me tour the house I grew up in.
