"The Great All-Classes Reunion of 2002"
which was held in Macon, Georgia July 11 - July 14, 2002.
Thank you, Clark and Milton, the all class reunion was lots of fun.
With all the classes there together, it was easy to see how the friendships and relationships had flowed through the years at our small school. I loved seeing classmates from other
years that I hadn't
seen since '54.

My heartfelt thanks to all of you that attended the Belle Glade High School "All Classes Reunion". It was indeed a pleasure to see all of my old classmates, and others that I went to school with. It brought back many, many, fond memories. It was an equal pleasure to have met the ones of you that came alomg later. As I have told you, we share a
common bond. We attended Belle Glade High School. We are Golden Rams. All of you that attended the Reunion have given me a lifetime memory that cannot be equaled. God Bless
each and every one
of you.
Thanks,
Milton Clinard '55
I have never, never been at a loss for words but Rams I don`t have the words to describe the happiness, laughing and fellowship that I felt in those 4 days. It has been almost two years since I could laugh like that at 100 + people acting like 16 year olds and that WE did!! I feel like most of South Bay, some of Clewiston and some of Belle Glade are my family now. Sue Andrews Austin and I started in the 1st grade together in Clewiston. I moved to South Bay for the beginning of the 8th grade and we had not seen each other since ......that alone was worth it all `cause that has been a LONG time ago.
Special love and thanks to Milton and Clarke and anyone who had anything to do with this
great adventure......my first trip off alone since my husband died. This was and is the highlight
of my year 2002. What memories!!! They will last `til next time. Ann Driggers Beagle '55

We had a wonderful time at the reunion. It would have been fun because of the great turn-out no matter what the situation, however,
it was made seamlessly super by the attention to detail from our host (and host facility). We enjoyed seeing everyone...I regret that there
were people I didn't get to talk to or get re-acquainted with. Some I did not even get the name of, but I expect to figure them out through pictures and the process of elimination. I think Ronnie Bowen and I had enough fun to make up for some of those missing from the class of '60, but I hope they will try harder to be at the next get-together. I heard someone tell Ann Driggers Beagle they wished she had been at previous reunions ... she said, "well, I won't miss another one!" I hope not, she was a lot of fun. It was nice to get to talk to the Hardys. They were a nice couple. Thanks to all who entertained. It was great. Love to all and I hope everyone arrived home safely. Genie '60 and Junior '54 Collins
It was so nice to meet Clark and Milton in person, to reunite with old BGHS friends, and to meet new ones. It was amazing to me that a group of people spanning nearly four decades could blend so well and feel so connected. Mr. Morris' comments to the group will stay with me forever! I don't see how this coming together of friends could have been improved-everything was perfect! Don said he had truly felt part of this group and if he'd ever been stopped for a
speeding ticket, it would have been a pleasure to get it from Milton.
Hats off to Clark for the website and our wonderful host, Milton - we
love you guys and lets do this again next year! Gerrie Day Telander '64
Anna and I certainly want to express our appreciation to EVERYONE for
making "The Great Reunion of 2002" just that, a GREAT reunion. Each and
everyone contributed so much to the greatness of this event simply by
being there and fellowshipping with each other in a loving spirit of
togetherness. There have been many many well deserved thank yous and I
ditto each of them. Also, a BIG THANK YOU to the members of the
Fraternal Order of Police for allowing us to use their beautiful
facilities, uninterrupted, for 4 days. This will certainly be an
extremely hard act to follow but we are looking forward to
trying. Love and best wishes to a terrific bunch of
Golden Rams. Ray Clinard '59
The days spent in Macon were pure joy. How wonderful it was to spend time with friends I knew from high school days. And then to finally meet people that I had come to love through the site.---Milton, you and yours spent an incredible amount of time and energy making sure that things were just right and I
can't imagine how it could possibly have
been better. Thank you!!!---To everyone, a
huge thank you for just being good people.
I love all of you. Clark Womack '51
Thanks to all who made this reunion such a success; and even more, a most rewarding time spent with friends from elementary and high school. I've never experienced such a sense of unknown, unseen bonding with people as I did in Macon. I just didn't know it was there until I saw you all again. The bond has never been broken through all these years, through all the distance. It was wonderful to love you first hand all over again. I look forward to next year! I'll bring my piano and we'll sing all the songs we didn't get around to this year. It will be my
pleasure to play for
you again.

The reunion was the greatest! We have had some reunions of our class in the past, but this was the first where everyone was invited and best of all, they came. There were people there I hadn't seen in almost 50 years. I was so lucky to live in Lake Harbor and in the 50s! It was the best of times and I got to live it again thanks to Milton and Clark. You both have done a splendid job of reuniting the RAMS. My heartfelt thanks again for all your hard work.

I had no idea what a treat was in store when I attended the BGHS Reunion in Macon. Since most of the ones signed up to attend graduated much later than 1950 I thought I would not know many of them. However, there were several there that I knew from church, band, or from knowing their older siblings, and even the ones I had not actually met were so friendly that it was a wonderful experience. I am in awe of all the work that was done and for the wholesome atmosphere and activities.
My daughter, who would
have graduated from
BGHS in 1973 had
we not moved to
Bonifay in 1969,
enjoyed it too.

We echo all the good superlatives others have already so aptly used (I know we are lazy, but that happens at our ages). My only regret is there were those I would have loved to chat with and I just didn't bestir myself to do it. Next year I
promise to do better.

Milton, I have never enjoyed a Reunion like this one. You did a fabulous job. The entertainment was great, the location was the best. And the food was out of this world. The Rams were the Rams. Everyone made each other feel like they were special and made out spouse feel special also. I cannot think of a thing that I would have changed. GREAT JOB!! Clark, if it had not been for an idea that you had and carried out, the web site never would have been and then there would not have been the GREAT BGHS REUNION. Rams that were there now just how good it was. Those who missed it, well you really did MISS it! Thank You! THANK YOU! is not adequate enough
