Classmate Profiles
Treasure the Laughter,
Treasure The Tears,
But Most Importantly, Treasure The Memories."
If you are viewing this page, PLEASE create your Profile! It's super easy! Bacically it's just fill in the blanks. Your friends and fellow classmates will enjoy reading about you, and you’ll enjoy reading about them! Scroll down to see your classmates' profiles, find out where they are located, read about what they've been up to and view then and now pictures if they are posted. Your additions make this site fun, interesting and complete. So we ask that you please take just a moment to create/update your profile and maybe add a photo or two. And ladies, please be sure to include your maiden name!
Your profile is important because it is our way of tracking who we have registered and who we're still missing (see the Missing Classmates page). It will also ensure that you receive the latest information and follow-ups about the reunion! (If you would prefer to keep your contact information private, please click on "Contact Us" and send in your contact information so that we can keep you informed.)
NOTE: If you would like to be included in a printed directory of classmates and have not already registered or RSVP'd, please create your profile and register (or email full name including maiden name, mailing address, phone number, email address and spouse/significant other's name to Gryphonsclassof70@gmail.com) no later than October 10th. Sorry, we will not be able to add you after the Oct. 10th deadline.

| Comment: I am really looking forward to our next reunion. It will be so nice to reconnect with classmates and, in some cases, make new connections that were not made 45 years ago. Ours was a historic class. I hope we can celebrate that distinction. | |

It will be great to see everyone! And, I'm very excited to be with a group of people who know what a Gryphon is, because I've had to explain that to everyone who ever asked what my HS mascot was since I left Rocky Mount! |

Comment:
Married for almost 3 years now, after a first of 27 years ended in divorce. I have 2 daughters, one working in the library St Louis University and attending grad school, and one in grad school at UNC-G, returning to school after teaching for 7 years. When I married again, moving from Raleigh to the Nevada desert after a second retirement from state government, I acquired 2 grown sons with wives and 4 grandchildren. Daryl and I traveled like gypsies for a while, and are now settled again (kind of) in the Panhandle of Florida. We enjoy spending time at the Gulf and in our travel trailer in state parks, including Falls Lake when we visit NC. |
