Hello, East High! I waved at you in April as I drove by on Poplar (small touch of nostalgia).
Anyhow, we have been in the Toledo, OH area for nearly 23 years, and until recently, in the same house. In Feb., we moved south - 17.25 miles south, from Sylvania to Waterville, OH, and are settling into our house on the Maumee River, a rather larger property than we've had before, and I've acquired all kinds of noisy outdoor "toys" to take care of it.
Our three girls are scattered from the Rockies to Philadelphia. No grandkids; only grand-dogs.
By and large, life is good.

I'm still living in northern NJ, a few miles outside of New York City. Married with two children - Amanda (20), who is a junior at UVA and Jackson (17), a high school senior). Since December of 2005, I have been commuting to New Orleans to work in the city's recovery and rebuilding efforts.
I don't get back to Memphis very often, but will attend our 40th reunion in 2010.

Update since my last report. After 30 years with National Park Service, I retired in 2011. Love retirement! Traveling a lot, trying to visit every National park unit! My husband and I stayed in Massachusetts as we had so many friends here. I visit Memphis a couple of times a year to see my brothers. I hope to be able to attend the reunion in 2020! It was interesting to read all of your profiles.

Greetings, East High, and in particular, all of the great folks from the class of '70. It's wonderful to catch up with everyone. My lovely wife of 39 years, Rhonda, and I live in a little town in Washington state, about halfway between Seattle and Portland. It's beautiful up here in the Pacific Northwest, and my brown-eyed girl and I are up here with all of the other old granola-eating, tie-dyed-wearing hippies, just waiting for Mt. St. Helens to erupt again. After leaving East, I joined the Naval Reserve and later graduated from the U of M. I wound up working for First Horizon National Corp. for twenty-something years, then worked with a small logistics firm in Collierville until we decided to pack up and head west. We have one child, Matt, who is a Veterinary Oncologist in Oregon, and one grand-dog, George. We still keep up with the goings-on in Memphis, especially our beloved Tigers, and we truly miss the BBQ, the humidity and of course, all of the wonderful people there.

Married to Duane Nelson ('70)(still crazy after all these years). Our daughter, Julia is 22 and her daughter, Alexandra, is 18 months. Our son, Duane III is 18 and has graduated from high school and is planning to
attend the University of Central Arkansas in Conway this fall. I'm still
going to college there myself but plan to graduate in December 2001 with a major in Dnglish and a minor in information systems. I design and program custom database software for a Conway computer business only to pay for my obsessive horse habit. I train and compete over a five state region in the olympic discipline of dressage with my horse, Boomer. Duane is still in the hydraulic business and cooks world championship BBQ with the Memphis in
May BBQ team at Fedex. He also does a lot of catering here at home. We have
two Jack Russell terriers, a foxhound and my son's cat, Cricket, who is 13 years old now. We had a great time at the reunion last weekend and appreciate all the work that went into it. Thank you reunion committee!!

Hello, everyone. I attended East for grades 1-12 (yes, a member of The 12 Year Club), always living within walking distance. I didn't view school as primarily a place of pleasure but rather a place of lots of work! However, as time has passed, now I believe we had a great school and I am happy that I had the experience I did. I am excited about our 50 year class reunion coming in Jun 2020.
Married to Beth Gooch, East High Class of 1975, also a member of The 12 Year Club.

Hey everyone! I can't believe we have been out of school for almost 30 years. I am working on the reunion committee, so I hope to get in touch with a lot of you. My husband, Robert Malkin, and I have been married 24 years. We have 2 daughters - Erin, 21 who lives in Israel and Ashley, 17 who is a senior at White Station. Ashley will be going to high school for her 1st semester of her senior year in Israel. The 2 girls will be 30 minutes apart from each other. Erin can't wait. She's been in Israel 1 1/2 years. We have all been over there to visit and Erin has been here once. Our phone lines are burning up. We need to get her a computer!
As you can tell, my life since I've been married has centered around Robert
and the girls. Robert is a self-employed computer programmer, software
designer, and website designer. I am his secretary, bookkeeper, gopher,
you name it. Call me whatever you want in his business - I write the
paychecks and I pay myself well!
.. I run into alot of people in our class from time to time. I would love
to hear from ya'll. I would especially love to see everyone at the reunion
in 2000. Man, do ya'll feel like I do - I don't feel near my age. And the
older our daughters get, the younger Robert and I act. Write me, call me,
fax me, e-mail me - I'm accessible. My address is:

I was shocked when the letter arrived announcing our 50th reunion. It does not seem that long ago.
I retired from the VA and City of Memphis hospitals as a x-ray and ct tech and also as a middle school math and science teacher in Virginia.
My husband Gregg and I have been married 33 years and have one daughter. We are very proud of her. She has a vet degree from Virginia Tech and a PhD from Duke in pathology. It never stops amazing me that a simple girl like me was blessed with a daughter like her.

I studied history & Irish literature at Southwestern for 2 years after graduating East High and spent summers teaching remedial reading to at risk first graders with Churchill Davenport. I spent my junior year abroad at Trinity College, Dublin, Ireland studying Medieval Irish & Modern Irish History and Tudor Propoganda. Upon returning to Memphis, I switched majors to early childhood education at MSU ( decided to change the world educating young children as our future). Taught in Germany for two years after working at inner city Memphis schools and wound up in Orlando, Fl, upon returning to the States. Met my husband, Rick, of 34 years while getting our masters at UCF, and he was Florida’s Teacher of the Year in 1988. I taught Kindergarten for 38 years and was an adjunct at UCF for 5 years. I have enjoyed traveling to 48 of the 50 US states and 32 countries & 4 continents.
I have a stepson who is 40 and a hair stylist and a son who 33 and a CFO for Siemens medical who is married and has a 3 year old daughter, who is our only grandchild.
My mother came to live with my family after Dad died when she was 79. She passed at our home at 96. My husband is a saint - but as he says, "It's what we do for family."
Rick & I are still die hard liberals who want to make this world a better place. We refer to ourselves as old political hippies.

It is so good to be living back in Memphis and reconnecting with old friends. I lived in several states during my marriage, but I've now made a full circle coming home. I work for
First Tennessee Bank as a graphic designer/ copywriter in Sales Marketing. I have two grown daughters who live in Kansas City where I lived for 14 years before my return to Memphis. I only attended East High for my junior and senior years, but I made many friends who I remember fondly. I was fortunate to see several of them at the 30 year reunion during the school tour, but would love to see others. I plan to attend the mini-reunion July 27 - I can't wait
to see who shows up!

I've enjoyed living in Atlanta for 16 years working for
Turner Broadcasting in various positions. In my current position (Sr. VP
and General Manager Turner Broadcasting System International) I travel
extensively in Latin America as well as in Europe and the US.
My travels seldom take me back to Memphis since both of my parents are
deceased. I do visit friends there at least once a year and keep up with a
lot of Memphians through my brother (Charlie, '72 in LA) and people like
Exye Bullard, Linda Richmond and Nancy Smithart (all outside of Memphis but
somehow in the know).
If in Atlanta give me a call.

After high school I started to college at CBU (Christian Brothers College back then). I completed one year and then took a year off to work and save. Went back to college at Memphis State, got married, and joined the Air Force. I was stationed at Holliman AFB, New Mexico, for two years then came back to Memphis and served in the 164th Air National Guard for another seven years. While serving in the Guard, I went back to school and also went to work for Kimberly Clark. I worked with them for seventeen years until the Memphis plant closed. I then went to work for FedEx and have worked for them for the past twelve years.
I became a Christian while I was in the Air Force and have worked with the Cuba Ave church of Christ, the East Frayser church of Christ, and the Raleigh church of Christ. I am serving today as one of the elders at the Bartlett Woods church of Christ. I am preparing for a mission trip to the Pacific this summer. This will be my thrid trip to the island nation of Kiribati.
My wife, Zana, and I have two childern. My daughter is married and our second grandchild this week on April 13th. My son is a freshman at University of Memphis and will be going with me to the Pacific.

I was a member of the Twelve Year Club having attended East in grades one through twelve.My husband of 24 years,Jared, and I live in Austin, Texas, with our sons, Jared, 17, and Dan, 10. I taught first grade in Texas schools for 12 years. East has wonderful memories for my siblings as well. Our dad pastored Poplar Avenue Baptist Church across the street from East High for 18
years, and we lived two blocks from the school and church. It is nice to hear from so many people that were classmates, friends, or neighbors.

Upon graduating from East High School,I enrolled at The University of Mississippi.I was a member of DKE Fraternity
I met my wife Meredith at Ole Miss, and after graduation in 1974, we married. We have two sons, Jay, a M.D. in Jackson, MS., and Preston, a Financial Analyst with SunTrust in Atlanta. After Ole Miss I entered my family's 5 state wholesale appliance business based in Memphis known as McDonald Brothers Company. In 1976 I attended and earned a certificate from The University of Notre Dame, Center For Continuing Education,Institute of Management in South Bend Indiana. In my career I was active in all aspects of the wholesale appliance business from sales, advertising, finance, purchasing and executive management with annual sales peaking at $50,000,000. I represented RCA,Whirlpool/Kitchenaid,& Philips Corporation as exclusive Distributor for the Mid South. I pioneered the marketing, & sales of many new and innovative products such as the first VHS Video Recorders, Compact Disc Players, Microwave Ovens, Projection TV, and the first home Satellite Systems. Our company earned numerous awards for performance from RCA and Whirlpool including Whirlpool Corporation's highest national award known as "Best In The U.S." In 1992 I made the decision to exit the market as a distributor. After winding our business down I wanted to be active in other business opportunities and chose a new career in the Real Estate Market as a Realtor associated with The Hobson Company in Memphis. My wife Meredith & I very much enjoy selling Real Estate as a Team. We are both Life Time Members of The Memphis Board of Realtors Multi Million Dollar Sales Club. We enjoy spending time at Pickwick and attending Ole Miss Football games with our friends and family. We are also active in our Church, Independent Presbyterian Church in Memphis. I have very fond memories of great friends and the experiences we shared as fellow students at East High. I hope you will attend our 1970 Class Reunion Party at our home, 251 Goodwyn, Memphis, July 23. I look forward to seeing you again!

Made it to retirement and it is great. It is like going to college with money and no tests. I still see Tempelton, Gordon, Caldwell, and Bowers from time to time and I am glad to report they are still great friends of mine. Neal Anderson and I worked together for a few years in Orlando, Florida. What a good man. It is pretty amazing at the quality of people gathered together by geography in the late 60's and early 70's.

These last ten years have been the most exciting so far. After being
awarded a Fulbright Scholarship my daughter, Jennifer, and I spent one year
 in Wales teaching in a village called Mumbles on the seashore. We then went to England where I taught at an English drama school in Surrey. My third grade class won first prize in the international drama competition for private schools in London. While I lived in England I taught horseback riding. England was a little wet so we jumped at the opportunity to live in Nice, France where I taught at the American International School . My fifth grade class was chosen to perform CATS for 250 headmasters at the ECIS convention in Monaco. The next two years we lived in Monaco and my first graders performed for Prince Albert at a Thanksgiving dinner. Our last two years were spent in Zurich, Switzerland teaching kindergarten. The salary was great but it was time to think about an American college for Jennifer and our journey back to the States. We have spent an exciting ten years exploring Ireland, France, Monaco, Belgium, Holland, Germany, Switzerland, Luxenburg, Austria, Czechoslovakia, Italy, Spain, and Corse.
The European experience was just right for Jennifer. She attended the best
private schools in Europe and learned French. Jennifer majored in music,
piano and composes her own songs. She played on the international
volleyball team. When she was eleven she went to an English Ski School in France and competed with the members on the British Ski Team and didn’t come in last!
She jumps when she is skiing and scares me to death, but I guess it goes
with the territory. We have spent the last ten years skiing from village to village from France to Switzerland. Jennifer is now a junior at SMU,
Southern Methodist University, double majoring in finance and computers
with a 3.75 average and hopes to attend law school.
I am teaching special education in Dallas. I have written four books
teaching children to read and hope to get them published.

Like some of my classmates I'm retired now! I retired from Fidelity Investments in 2017 after 23 years. I was managing a team that worked on the design of their websites. My wife, Susan, and I are still living in a small town south of Boston. Our two daughters, Cheryl and Virginia, are all grown up. Cheryl actually works at Fidelity also doing web design and Virginia works at Nordstrom. I don't get back to Memphis very often but maybe for our 50th reunion in 2020 (assuming I'm still around!)

I really enjoyed seeing everyone at our recent 40th reunion. Hats off to everyone on the committee for their hard work in getting this together. As far as I am concerned, I have been blessed with good health and a terrific family. My wife, Judy, and I will married 32 years in December, 2010, and we have 3 wonderful children; Matthew, Jennifer and Sarah. Jennifer is just about to make us grandparents for the first time in August! I graduated from Memphis State in 1974 with a BBA in General Management. I have been working in the lawn and garden business for the past 24 years and in the automotive aftermarket the previous 8 years. We lived in the Richmond, Virginia area for a while in the 80's but, for the most part, we have lived in the Memphis area and have lived in Germantown for the past 20 years. We have also been heavily involved in church activities including missions, coaching, etc. We've taken our share of trips here and there and hope to take some more. Again, we are extremely proud of our children and our lives are truly enriched by them.
Drop me a line sometime. Take care.

... cannot believe that we are talking about a 30 yr reunion...I have my sons convinced that I'm only 29 and that my
sister is really older than I am....well, everyone's history is real impressive....I knew Tommy Tullis would put a photo in that looks so somber. remember his rotc days????
I'm single now,after 23 yrs...it's been a hard adjustment for me..My boys are almost grown...my baby graduates from College in W. Va in April, 2000. He wants to go on to law school..both sons have been competitive swimmers thru college and have set records...i can't even swim....i am a neonatal ICU RN in Nashville....I just bought my first new home on my own..overlooking these Tenn hills...yall need to come sit on my wrap around porch and sit in
the swing and let the world go by...........I keep myself busy entertaining my 3 cats....I live for my back rub by punkin, the oldest cat. I'm still trying to decide if I want to be social enough to
attend our reunion,but if I don't see yall there.....i'll always treasure the friendships we had back then. I just got my computer, so write me and I'll see if I can really use e-mail without
setting the computer world back 20 yrs!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Well, hard to believe it's been 40 years. Served 9 years in the USAF, met my husband, been married 34 years this June. Have a son, 28. Worked for Civil Service, getting ready to retire this June. Have lived all over the world including the Phillipines and Germany. Now I live on the Mississippi Gulf Coast, made it through Katrina, watching the rebuilding. It's coming back better than ever. My parents have passed but my older sister lives in Southaven so I get up there every so often. Nice to find this page.

I live in an Atlanta suburb and have been in this area since Christmas break 1966 when I was in the 9th grade. Dad got transferred to Atl with Chevron. I've been back to Memphis many times over the years. The last time was in 2004. There is a "You must be from Memphis if" site on facebook and I've reconnected with a couple of "kids" from my 3rd grade class at Grahamwood Elem and others! I never did buy an East yearbook and I just don't know why I didn't. If anyone knows of someone wanting to sell one from '65 - '70 please let me know. I went to White Station in the 7th grade then they changed the boundries. My Spartan yearbook recently was stolen from mom's house and I was lucky to replace it off ebay. I'm homesick for Memphis and have started thinking about going back for a visit. Maybe, I'll here from some of you that were in my class or some of you that weren't. Take Care Mustangs!

After I attended 4th thru 7th grades at East Elementary and East Junior High, my family moved to Greenville, MS in 1965, where I graduated from Greenville High in 1970. I attended Rice University, Millsaps College and Mississippi State, getting B.S. and Ph.D. degrees in biology and ecology. I currently work for the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers in Vicksburg, MS, as a wetland ecologist. I am considering semi-retirement from the government and starting my own environmental consulting firm in the next 3+ years. I have fond memories of East. My older sister Mary Ann graduated from East in 1965.

* Entries with the "reported deceased" designation indicate a reunion committee or other persons believed closely associated with the class have indicated they have information they believe quite reliable about the death of the individual so designated. The East High Alumni Page has not received sufficient documentation to verify the information and therefore does not confirm the death or that the individual who died is the one of the same name who attended East High School. Such reports without confirmation should be taken with a degree of skepticism. Anyone with documentation to confirm the report or with information to refute the report is strongly encouraged to contact the editor of The East High Alumni Page at editor@EastHigh.org promptly.
