Even though we moved to Nebraska in 1962, and I didn't get to graduate with my Welch class, I still consider it to be "home" and my fondest memories are from there. I have kept in contact with many from the area and would love to hear from more, especially those who attended the reunion in 2001. My husband and I are retired and just enjoying life. 2 January 17 2010 at 13:31:13 Fullname: Eleanor Hope Rose{Gilliland} Email: hope_gilliland@yahoo.com Current address: p.o.box stopover ky 41568 When did you attend WHS?: 1975-1977 Comments: I was looking through the guest book page, just to see if i could find anyone i went to school with, but didn't, i did not graduate from welch, i got married, moved to ky, and studied for my ged, got it and went to southern community college, for two years in williamnson west va. just wanted to say, no matter where you go, or where you end up at in life, you always remember, the place you called home, just thinkin back, i would like to here from some of you who went to school with me, or who just know of me.have a great new year everyone,,,,,,,,,,,,, 3 January 10 2010 at 15:46:53 Fullname: Marion "Stroupe" Sykora Email: bams2735@sbcglobal.net Current address: Kennedale, TX When did you attend WHS?: Class of 1970 Comments: Wonderful site! 4 January 10 2010 at 15:40:34 Fullname: Lestelle Freda Albany Stone Email: sizemore14@live.com Current address: 1805 Windlea Drive, Euless TX 76040 When did you attend WHS?: Class of 1945 Comments: Great site! 5 January 05 2010 at 10:03:04 Fullname: Myrna A.

Doing great with retirement. Never ever thought I'd enjoy staying home so much. Married to Carol Turner Collins...stepson Chad lives just down the street (had him since he was five)........Chad and his wife Allison (Babs Dudley's daughter) has one son, Cameron. Naturally Cameron's the center of our universe along with our poodle "Prissy". Been in the Welch-Bluefield area about all my life and wouldn't want to live anywhere else. Make it down to the "County" quite often. My mother, brother Ronnie and sister Tammy are still in the Welch area. Also have extended family still there. I'm a little lazy about checking my emails but would appreciate hearing from anyone out there who would care to talk. I've traveled quite a bit and met lots of people and I still think the people who were raised in this area must have acquired something others seem to have missed out on! I'm proud to be among you. 14 October 05 2009 at 21:19:04 Fullname: kathy 'fain' bardeen Email: kkkuties@svic.net Current address: 6791 ne 131 ave, williston, fl 32696 When did you attend WHS?: 1966-1971 Comments: hi to everyone, i'm still alive and still in florida. kathy 15 October 05 2009 at 21:14:41 Fullname: kathy & gary bardeen & family Email: kkkuties@svic.net Current address: 6791 ne 131 ave, williston, fl 32696 When did you attend WHS?: 1966-1971 Comments: hi to everyone, i'm still alive and still in florida. kathy 16 September 28 2009 at 12:14:36 Fullname: Angela Guella Green Email: angiedgreen@gmail.com Current address: 5032 Post Oak Lane, Rock Hill, SC 29732 When did you attend WHS?: 76-78 Comments: Graduated from Mt.
