ACR 1980 25th Reunion Photos!

Check out the Class of '80 25th high school Reunion photos here. The event, with Teresa (Holt) Hembree (in pink, below) hosting, was reputedly the best one yet. Held at the High Vista Country Club Saturday, September 17, it was an upscale party with Phil Davenport as DJ, spinning tunes from the era.

Thanks go to Teresa Holt and Clay Thomas for providing these photos. Special thanks to Jerrie Canipe for identifying so many of you—she was meticulous and it was no small task. (You rule, Jerrie!) Teresa Holt and Clay Thomas also helped out with the final tweaking. If you have any more photos of the reunion, please e-mail them to tumeric@sbcglobal.net.

Where Is YOUR Personal Page?

Hello, ACR Class on 1980. We've got a new project underway and you can and should join in. You know already how Classmates.com and Reunion.com--websites that bring alumni together--also are happy to part you from you money in return for the service. If you are tired of that but still want to join up with your former classmates, here's your chance. Each of us gets our own page on this blog. You can put whatever you want on your page. A few links to sites you care about. Some info on what you are interested in, where you've been, where you are headed. Photos of you, of your loved ones--anything at all. Here's your opportunity to represent yourself. All free, of course. Your page will also have your contact info--if you want it to. You'd be surprised who may be dying of curiosity to know what happened to you all these, what 25 years?

I'll start off with mine, and then will create a permanent category on this blog, under the heading, "Individual Pages." You can always check on the links to see who's doing what. And you can always make changes to your page if you like (just let me know--or, if you foresee lots of changes, I'd be happy to add you as a member to this blog, so you can post whenever you wish.)

Contact me, Carolyn Blount, and let me know what you want to see here. Also, feel free to send anything--as little as your name and address and a photo--it's all up to you.

Best,

Carolyn

1980 ACR Alumnus, Greg Newman, Elected Mayor of Hendersonville

Class of 1980's own Greg Newman (above, giving thumbs up) was elected Mayor of Hendersonville in Tuesday's primary election. Newman, seen as the challenger to the more established Ron Stephens, lead in polls conducted throughout the race.

Classmates of Newman's might not be surprised to learn of his victory, as the Mayor-elect served as ACR's then Junior class President during the 1978–1979 school year, and later as Senior class Vice President.

Congratulations, Greg! We are proud of you!

(Below, Newman pictured with his wife, Kim.)
