News Flash from the desk of
Rick Watson
I'm retiring from AT&T this month. March 22nd is my last day.
It's a strange and wonderful feeling. I'm spending the last few weeks
transitioning projects to other folks on my team and cleaning out my
desk.
Old friends that I've worked with forever stop by to say goodbye and
to wish me well. I've daydreamed about this moment for years, and I am
happy the time has come, but I'm experiencing some sadness and I get
ready to turn the page in my life.
The upside is that I can spend more time and energy focusing on the things
I love doing. One of my loves is this website.
It is my intention to do more alumni interviews, add more photos, and
stories.
I will need to get some more sponsors so that the website fully self
supporting financially. If you own a business, please consider a sponsorship
on www.dorahighschool.com. The website gets a lot of hits each months
and is an inexpensive way to get the word out about your business. Personal
sponsorships are also welcome.
I'll be creating memorial pages, so if you have a loved one that you
would like to honor in a unique way, this would be perfect.
I look forward to my new life. If you have someone you'd like to see
interviewed, please let me know cwatson310@charter.net.

The
Annual Dora High School Reunion is scheduled for April 24, 2010 at a
new location.
This
is the first time the Dora High School Alumni Reunion has been held at
the Bevill State Meeting Facility. The decision was made to use Bevill
State because the logistics were much easier. "Bevill State
has plenty of space, a kitchen, and a great air conditioner," said
one alumni. The event should be entertaining and comfortable.
The schedule for the All Class Reunion is as follows:
REGISTRATION 5:00pm-
6:00 p.m.
BUSINESS MEETING 6:00
-6:30 p.m.
DINNER 6:30
- 8:30 p.m.
The Class of 1960 will be the
honored class a this year's reunion and will meet earlier
in the day to spend time catching up before the other classes arrive.

Former Student Trying To Locate Garrie
Moncrief
Hi
Rick, I
went to Dora in 1989, but graduated from Minor Christian. I
am trying to locate Garrie Moncrief. He
was in the class of 89 if I am not mistaken. I
know he was good friends with Jeff Odom, Bryan Spradlin, Eric Tolbert, Tim
Yates, a others of that year. I
have been trying to track him down for 15 years now, and still no
luck. If
anyone has any information on how to contact him, I would really
appreciate it.
