This past summer Floyd and I had our high school 20 year reunion (Pillow Academy Class of 1990) Yes, Floyd and I finished High School together and were even in the same carpool starting in 7th grade. However, we didn't start "dating" until our Senior year. Our class was a pretty special class and the friendships still remain strong to this day. We were unusual in the fact that we were the smallest class in the history of Pillow Academy. Many of our high school friends went to the same colleges and believe it or not when Floyd and I got married, July 1996, several of our high school classmates were in our wedding because we all stayed the best of friends. So there's a lot of history and it's pretty special. The reunion kicked off with a Friday night gathering at Webster's with Will Pleasants (one of our classmates)and his wife, Linda, playing for us. Saturday we had a picnic at Pillow so folks could tour the campus and see all of the wonderful new facilities Pillow has since built since we left. Most everyone was amazed. Especially those who haven't been back in 20 years. Saturday night we hosted everyone at our house for a cocktail buffet and we had the Sofa Kings from Jackson, MS play for us and they were awesome. The weather couldn't have been any better and for that we were grateful. We had 25 out of 36 classmates show up. Not too bad in my opinion and everyone had a great time. Here are some pictures of our weekend and maybe it'll tell the story of the reunion better than I can put it into words. WARNING!! LOTS OF PICTURES. Enjoy!
