For those of you that view the website on a regular basis, I apologize, I haven't been here in a while.  The summer flu got a hold of me back in September and I've been pretty sick for a couple of months now.  But I'm feeling better and I am getting back into the swing of things.  Needless to say, I haven't kept up on website updates. 

Thanks for your patience and for keeping the faith.  I will try to get your postings on here as soon as I can.  Keep looking for our classmates and let me know as you find them so I can update the class list. 

Thinking of all of you.

Hugs,

Chris

I want you all to see the newest addition to my family. My grandson Jeremy Dwight. Click on this link http://www.mountcarmelhealth.com/. Click the online registry. Search by patient first name which is spelled Sequala. He is so handsome. I’m not just saying it because I’m grandma. J

Hello everyone.  I have sad news and a request today.  One of our classmates, who will remain anonymous to protect her privacy at this difficult time, is in need of all of our prayers.  Her husband was recently hospitalized and is now in ICU fighting for his life.  Please send out a prayer for her husband's recovery. 

God bless each and every one of you!  ~Chris~

Hi. I was given this website to check out by Paula (Daniels) Hayes.  I love it!  Keep up the great work!!!

I only attended West High School for my junior and senior years. I was known as "Nita" at West by my classmates.  My family and close friends call me "Jean", but my legal name is Juanita M. (Slone) Keiper.  When I saw the class list, I noticed you have no information for me.  I'm so heartbroken that I missed the 20 year reunion.  So, here is some information on me....  

Juanita (Nita Slone) Keiper   bluejeank@yahoo.com  or  jean_keiper2006@yahoo.com
(you may publish my email addresses. I would love to hear from my classmates)

Please keep in touch regarding the happenings of our class.  I would absolutely love to attend the next reunion.  Thank you for the website and Thank you for the memories!!!

The 20-Year reunions were a HUGE success!  We had 72 people attend the Friday night gathering at BW3's (give or take a spouse).  Another 65 people attended the Saturday Family Picnic at JP's (give or take a toddler) and a good time was had by all. 

I received the following email today...

Hey!   Is the classmates list only for those that Graduated at West?  I did spend most of my high school life at West but then my parents made me move away my senior year. (something to do with my attendance or lack of my sophomore year).  Anyways, a friend sent me this link and as I was looking at it, I had to ask.    Thanks!

Everyone should know - just because something happened in your life that took you down a different path, be it you moved away and had to graduate from another school OR you had a bad year and were held back a grade OR even if you just said "screw it!" and left high school - you WERE part of our class.  And you ARE invited to the reunions! 

If your name is not on this class list, it's because I screwed up.  Please call and let me know I need to put you on there.  When I received this email this morning, I went right to the list and said, "OH man! He's NOT on there!  I can't believe he's not on there..."  But he is on there now and I promise, I'll get you on there too~

I get emails every day asking me "Do you know where this person is?  I sure do wish I knew what happened to them."  Someone on the class list is thinking of you too - I'd bet on it! 

Once upon a time we were all great friends.  Let's get together, catch up, and maybe, just maybe, we will be great friends again.  ALL of us~

I really do hope to see everyone at the reunions.

All my best,

Christina

Hello again~

I placed a free ad in the Coffee News flyer that is found in several businesses all around Columbus.  Go to http://www.coffeenewscentralohio.com/ to see a list of the restaurants and businesses around town that carry the flyer.  The ad will run through the reunion.  All of the website and reunion information is in there.

Happy Hunting!  See you at the reunion~
