Stan Beaty [last updated November, 2003]
I have procrastinated way too long and should have submitted this years ago. After high school I knocked around for a year or so working and saving money for school. I had gotten tired of parental scrutiny and struck out my own (somewhat) with their blessings. I did construction, drove a truck, worked/lived at a funeral home,blah, blah, blah. Enrolled at a couple of instituitons of higher learning and graduated from Memphis State in two terms (Ford and Carter) in August '77'. Fiddle fooled around some more and eventually started working for my father. Bought him out in 1982. A half million dollars in debt to my parents put me back under the microscope of parental scrutiny. In 1988 we opened a division of the companies that manages physician practices that 'blossomed'. We are now in 8 states. Got married at age 40 to the most wonderful woman in the world. No children--Three labradors,one cat, one horse. I've tried to keep up with some of our class mates. David Turner and I talk every other month. There are so many who live in Memphis that I see,but not too often. I pass East a couple of times a week. Such a gorgeous school. It has changed dramatically inside. In 1975 after the 'Freedom on Information Act', was signed into law I went back to East and asked for that 'permanent record' we were all threatened with, except for Buddy Flinn and Cindy Bowers. What a treasure!! Twelve years of handwritten comments by instructors,achievement test scores and one blistering commentary by Ms Parkinson (elementary principal) from 1966. What a witch. I have to pull it out every so often and get a 'shot' of nostalgia. Lots of memories. I get asked about when the next reunion will happen. Information is much more readily available today than in 1997, but I need some help. Volunteers??? email me.

After passing through Memphis in May 2010, I thought I'd see if I could find an alumni website, and found this one! After graduating from UT Knoxville in 1976, I attended paralegal school in Atlanta and began a 25 yr career as a paralegal. I worked for lawfirms in Memphis from 1977-82, then to Baton Rouge (1983-1985), and Dallas (1985-2005). In my last job, I was a vice president for a nationwide residential mortgage servicing company. I am now making the transition to full-time rving with my husband in a 40 ft motorhome. I never had children, but have 3 step-children who all live in the Dallas-Ft Worth area. Since leaving work, I've spent time riding motorcycles (yes, I ride; not as a passenger!!) and photographing the places we visit in the rv.
For those who also might remember my mother Mildred Bonner, former English teacher, she and my father are still doing well, living in NE Louisiana. She's been very active in their local small school, directing a fund-raising play once a year.
I'm so glad to find this site, see notes from everyone, and saddened to see the obituaries of so many classmates.

Sandy Braden [last updated June, 2009]
I have lived in Tucson for the last 24 years. I got married young and was blessed to stay home to raise our kids. I am now a widow, with 6 kids and 7 grandkids. I graduated early ('72), but I was originally part of the class of '73.
I got my degree from Liberty University in 1998 and now teach 5th/6th grade. I became a Christian in my early 20's and I thank those of you who were a witness for Christ to me.
East High will always be special to me. I took my youngest daughter back to Memphis 2 years ago, and she indulged me as we sat in the parking lot while I shared stories of classmates, teachers, being in Ms. Gillespie's plays (chorus only--could never sing a solo!), etc.
I would love to attend a reunion. Sorry I missed the 25th.

Shep Fargotstein [last updated December, 2001]
Hey everybody! The day after graduation, I got on a plane to Switzerland and stayed there for 1 1/2 years learning french, working part-time, and chasing skirts. Left there and went to New York City and worked for 1 year, and ten went to Boston to go to Bently College (the only school that would have me!:))
Came back home after 2 years to run by family's business, S. Fargotstein & Sons, for the next 5 years. Got into a typical family business squabble and left to start my own company to compete with them, called Shepard Findings. Ran that for around 10 years and sold it to a New York Company, and went to work as a stockbroker with Prudential Securites for the next 8 years. I moved to PaineWebber/Memphis 2 1/2 years ago, and am still here.
I got married at 25 to Kay Humphreys and had 3 kids - Sam (16), David (20) - yea - Sam & Dave! I wanted to call my daughter Aretha, but we settled for Molly (12). We got divorced about 9 years ago (92). I am still single, but am seriously dating (2 1/2 years) someone at the moment, and it may end up with a knot tied - I just don't want to let marriage screw up a good relationship.
Yea, I see Stan Beaty from time to time. He hasn't changed one iota. I still hang out with John Kiersky and Barry Lichterman.

[posted August, 1996]
A member of East's Twelve Year club. Tired of education I just went to work. Taught myself electronics and eventually mainframe computer operations. Ran away and joined the circus of sound reinforcement, working with everyone from Joe Jones and the Yardhounds in the corner bar to prominent acts on Beale Street and other venues. Blown out with the bar scene, I read and write a lot of weird stuff nobody will ever see. If they ever do, it's under an assumed name. I'm not quite married yet, but it's in the works. Met Karen eleven years ago in a chain reaction that started in the Daily Planet Tavern on Park Avenue. We live in the Evergreen district of Midtown Memphis where we are participants in the Evergreen Association. I've been a pawnbroker for almost ten years now and if that's not enough I'm an unofficial legal adviser for local activist groups. Now I'm almost back into computers.

Dan Hallock [last updated March, 2006]
Hello all, I just discovered this site and it was really nice (and sad at times) to read about people that I remember from East. I have been able to keep in touch with several classmates over the years and I still enjoy driving by East when I come back to Memphis. When my two daughters were very young I taught them the East High fight song and they would sing it as we drove past the school when we visited Memphis. I have lived in Texas, Georgia, Missouri and now in Alabama since 1972. My two girls are now 18 and 21, my oldest is a junior at Texas A&M University and my little one will be a freshman at the University of Alabama in the fall of 06 if she does not change her mind. I ended up graduating from the University of Texas at Austin, Louisiana Tech and finally from Memphis State. I am a professor in the College of Business at the University of North Alabama. I can be reached at

Hello to everyone in cyberspace. I was surfing and just discovered this website. I was truly sorry to read of so many deaths of our beloved classmates (aren't we still a little young for this deaththing?) Anyhow, I attended East for twelve years and upon graduating enrolled in Memphis State. I married and had a son, Mead, (common everyday name) the marriage didn't last but my son did and the only wonderful result of the union. I remained single for five years and married a wonderful man (Johnny) who wisked me to Jackson TN where we remain today. I inherited a stepdaughter (always wanted a daughter) and this was a lot easier method to getting one). I graduated from University of Memphis and worked in several careers including paralegal, real estate, bankruptcy court, and others before finding my niche as Admissions Counselor at a local community college. After my husband completed his stint at Proctor & Gamble and made a decision to retire early, I couldn't let him get ahead of me so I left the education area also. My stepdaughter has three children and my son has finally just blessed me with twin granddaughters. Would love to hear from you guys, my email address is [below].

Hello,
I was Googling and found myself at the 'death notice' for Debbie Boone which brought me to the East High site.
Catching up.....so much so say...so much fear in saying it. I have 2 sons. Caleb who is 20 and headed to California to college this September. He is on the 6yr+ program as he quit the Berklee College of Music after 2 years and an incredible amount of money. Que sera sera. Not as much money in music these days anyway. So he's headed to California for film. he is an incredible musician and, writer, visual and works with clay.
Clark is 11 going on 30. Funny beyond belief. he can entertain people from 5 to 50. Smart and great to talk with on almost any subject.
I am divorced 8 months. The judge told me that I have a lot of talent, smart and see's great things in my future. She then handed my business over to my X-wife. It didn't kill me...it didn't destroy me. It did kill my credit but that's working out a little at a time.
Working on (paper) the potential of 2 new businesses. One Real Estate (wish I had started it 3 years ago because it would be perfect for what's going on now) and have the best job of my life working for a Marble and Granite company. Never thought I'd be in this line but it worked out well.
I'm in the best shape of my life. Just starting to date (Wow, it does get better with age and experience) and slowly working my way out of all the debt divorce can put you in (my side...my wife is swimming in cash...I was very good at what i did....ha!ha!ha!ha!).
I have an incredible amount of friends that I have gathered over the last 3 years while I was going through the courts and divorce. My kids won't go to Home Depot any more with me because "Dad, you said you were only going to be in there 15 minutes....more like 3 hours after you talked with everyone you know!"
I found out I have narcolepsy 3 1/2 years ago (why was it i was the only one who didn't fall asleep in study hall?). Apparently had it my whole life. Took a while to get use to it because as you get older it has more effect.
Sorry to read about everyone who has passed but that's life. I missed the 1997 reunion so if you hold another one let me know.
I send my best and my love to all of you. High school was hell and at the same time the best thing ever. I think the years of 1968 to 1972 may have been the greatest time to be a High School student. It reminds me the line from Wadsworth 'Ode' which was used in the movie 'Splendor in the Grass':
       What though the radiance which was once so bright
       Be now for ever taken from my sight,
       Though nothing can bring back the hour
       Of splendour in the grass, of glory in the flower;
       We will grieve not, rather find
       Strength in what remains behind...
Tonight I got to remember Debbie Boone, catch up with some old friends and relive a few memories.
Damon

Jessica Herrington [last updated July, 2009]
I attended East for 12 years and graduated in 1972 - last year of the 12 year class. I have a lot of fond memories of East and friends. East still looks good after all these years! I have worked with Boys & Girls Clubs of Greater Memphis for 29 years. I have been married for 21 1/2 years to a great husband, Hal. For the last couple years, besides work, I had taken care of my mom, who was bedridden in our home. In December of 2008, she had a massive stroke, which required me to put her in a nursing facility. That doesn't leave much time for anything else. Always good in sports, I managed to learn to bowl pretty well. When my mom became ill, I quit bowling from three leagues a week plus tournaments (in and out of town) to zero. To be truthful, I miss the friends at the lanes more than the bowling, which I thought I could never live without.) Guess it has something to do with the age thing! I would love to hear from ya'll so drop an e-mail when you have time!

Patricia Lackey [last updated January, 2003]
I attended East High for two years and graduated in 1972. I had already married James Howard Yandell III. I must say we were inseparable and I left Memphis to live with him in Texas. Our lives involved 4 years of military service with the Air Force. James became a Power Production Service Tech of which he worked on everything from hospitals to schools to ski resorts and anything involving back up power. He has been everywhere with me, even to Alaska to work in the ministry. He became an adult teacher and I played piano and keyboard in a full gospel church of which we totally enjoyed.
We've been married 30 years. We have 2 children, Jerry, age 29 and Jamie, age 24; 2 grandchildren, Joey age 5, and Ben, age 2 weeks old. We've been living outside of Atlanta, Georgia and James was working and found out he had Multiple Myeloma Cancer III Stage.
We had to drop everything and put him in the hospital to see if we could save his life. He had been given only 3 months to live. We tried chemo and was working toward a bone marrow transplant, but his organs shut down and he passed away October 10, 2002. I must say we loved each other very much and the whole family has suffered a great loss, but I did want to hear from some of the classmates we knew at East. If you care to write an e-mail please do. Much love to all of you we knew. Sincerely, Patricia Yandell

Hello class of 72. This is Raymond Mann. I currently live in Madison, Wisconsin with my wife and three children, four other children have moved out own their own. After graduation I started working for several small retail firms and I have been with Wal-mart for the past 25 years and as a district manager for the past 10. I lived in Mississippi, Georgia, Kentucky, Louisiana, South Dakota, Chicago, Ill. and now here in Madison since leaving Memphis. I look forward to hearing from some of my old friends.

Cathy McNew [last updated June, 2001]
Hello now from Michigan. My husband Sid (Central '71) is with Ford Motor Company and we were transferred here in August 2000. It's cold here - it's not Tennessee that's for sure, but we are getting used to it. Our children are Rachel (12 going on 16) and Becky (9!).
I was in Memphis Memorial weekend 2001 with my sisters Carol ('73) and Claudia ('74) and we drove up to the school. I haven't been in it in years, but just sitting in the front parking lot brought back a lot of memories. Hope the class of '72 has another reunion. I was sorry that I had to miss the first one.!!

Vic Parks [last updated March, 2006]
I graduated from East in '72 and graduated from Memphis State in '77. I am working for Thompson Machinery who is the local Caterpillar dealer, bulldozers and such. I can't believe it has been a generation since I went to East. I look back on those days as some of the greatest in my life, I just didn't know it at the time. Hindsight is always 20/20. I married a Messick girl, Cindy Vaughan, class of '74. We live in Bartlett and have two kids, or young adults, I should say. We have a son, 21 and a daughter who is closing in on 20. I miss all my friends from high school and I need to do a better job of staying in touch. Several have already passed away and I feel blessed to have made it this far. When I drive down Poplar and look at the old school, all the memories flood back and I think we had the last great graduating class. Times have sure changed. I want to thank the keepers of this web site. It is great information about a time in all our lives that is close to all our hearts, our youth.

Hey Everyone!
I am an elementary music teacher right here in Memphis at Fox Meadows Elementary School. I was just shown this web-site by my student teacher - whose father was in East High School's second graduating class! I am delighted to feel reconnected, yet saddened to learn of those who have gone before. Terribly miss Kathleen Capon White - my dear friend. Went to Ms. Gillespie's funeral this past summer. Great loss - wonderful lady to the end! Didn't she change some lives!
I graduated from Memphis State in 1978 with a degree in music education, and have been teaching in Memphis - off and on - ever since. I received my master's degree in education from Union University.
I married Bill Hunt, Jr. (Whitehaven - 1970 graduate) in February of 1979 and we had two children together: Lawrence Murray (b.1981)(who owns a wonderful restaurant in Oxford, MS named "Sugar Brown's - Southern Cuisine"; and Jenna (b.1985) (perpetual college student, recently married and now carrying my first grandchild). Bill and I divorced in 2000 and I am happily enjoying my second childhood!
I am a very active member of the Memphis Symphony Chorus - my newfound passion - and am extremely busy between work, play, church, friends and family.

Richard Thomas [last updated August, 2009]
I have been in the principal's office for about 40 years. Actually, after high school I went to University of Tenn at Knoxville on an ROTC Scholarship...then the war was over in 1975 and I was let out of my commitment. Then on to the Insurnace business and have been in the field ever since. Married to Debbie Boswell (of White Station) and have a son that is 27.
Have had many rewarding experiences and look forward to more and hopefully with some of you folks.
I still workout in Martial Arts and my son was a National Champion for several years and was invited to join the Olympic Team in Colorado Springs. (did not want to move from Memphis)
Have had the pleasure of catching up with some of you and look forward to going over old times with the rest.
I wish the best for everyone and will do anything I can to help.
Thanks,

My husband Ed and I have lived in Ellsworth, Maine, since 1996. Our oldest child, daughter Rachel, born in 1978, married a native Mainer and lives near Bangor. She is a 6th grade teacher, and her husband teaches junior high science. Our first grandchild was born to them in 2003 and our second in 2005. Our son, Matt, born in 1983, is a web site designer. He married a native Mainer in July 2005. I guess we're here for good, since both our kids married Yankees. Ed is a retired United Methodist pastor. I am a medical transcriptionist for the local hospital, and my commute consists of 4 blocks. In my little spare time, I quilt, sew, play piano and Celtic harp. I also enjoy digital photography and making my own greeting cards.
I have been saddened at the many friends we have lost from the 1971-72 classes. The deaths of Mark Williamson and Kathleen Capon White have hit me especially hard. I am proud to have been their friends.
We live halfway between Bar Harbor and Bangor on the coast of Maine, 20 minutes from Acadia National Park. Since we are now empty-nesters and have started to downsize and simplify, I've been blogging for over a year about our experiences. The link is http://simplicityexperiment.blogspot.com/.

Thought it might be time for an update. I have actually been able to reconnect with several classmates through this wonderful website. Getting ready to move my oldest daughter to UT Martin, Amanda age 18. My younger daughter, Ashley age 17, will begin college next year. She plans to attend Univ. of Memphis. My mother, who lived with us, passed away in May of 2007. She lived a very long (94 years old) and remarkable life. Just marked by 24th year at UT Health Science Center here in Memphis. Would still love to connect with classmates.

Hi 'YALL! I live in Jackson Ms. with my wife of 19 years, Martha, (yes, I'm married to Martha White and people say I did that to her for the sake of the pun). We have a 15 year old son, Charlie and an 11 year old daughter, Keller, who really runs our house. I graduated from Rhodes in '76, then did a year at South Carolina. I came back to Memphis in 77 and had a blast with my old friends while learning to be a banker at 1st Tennessee. I recently had my 20th year ann. in banking at Deposit Guaranty in Jackson. My real interests now are centered around Habitat where I do a lot of nail bending (as opposed to biting) and a trip to Honduras here and there for medical missions or Habitat house building. Who would've thought... a wimp in the band has a son on an ice hockey team (give blood...play hockey) and a daughter who wins medals figure skating!
I hope to see y'all soon at the reuion. This will be my 1st in 25 years but I haven't missed much... Stan Beaty talks about everybody!

People who attended East with the class of '72 for a time.

Susan Coyle [last updated September, 2009]
I attended East from grades 1-10. My scheduled graduation year was 1972. I earned my G.E.D. from East High in 1971, after marrying Charles Richardson and becoming a mom to a wonderful son, David. David's dad and and I were married for 16 years. I earned my A.S. from State Tech in '77, took a number of classes at Memphis State in the 80's and FINALLY earned my B.S. from Crichton in '98. David's 38 now and a Sr. Aircraft Mechanic at FedEx. I also worked at FedEx as a Database Administrator for a number of years (after doing much the same at Schering-Plough for 20 years) and, along with 499 other IT professionals in Memphis, my position was eliminated this past April. I'm enjoying "accidental retirement"! I live in the Memphis area and enjoy boating, traveling. fast cars and, most of all, spending time with my precious 9-year-old granddaughter.
