This site has been designed for the Charlotte Central High School class of 1957. It will be maintained in conjunction with the alumz.com home page for Central High School. We strongly suggest that you register on the alumz site to give you full advantage in connecting with your classmates.

Hopefully we will have lots of information about what the 1957 classmates have done over the years and are doing now. There are already pictures up in several sections letting you travel down Memory Lane and look at the Present.

As with most things, this web site will continually be under construction and changing to benefit our Class of 1957. I hope you enjoy and help in making this a place to frequently return.

Thanks to Danny Sells for passing along an email he received on 02/04/10 fron Alec Reddeck our classmate that resides in Baton Rouge, LA.

Danny: Good to hear from you. Hope you and yours are well. No plans at this time to be near the Carolinas. We are staying very busy with the children and grandchildren plus a little "fun" travel. We still spend time in Spain with what remains of family and friends there and in Italy because our daughter, her husband and their little one spend so much time there. Thank God our health seems to be holding well. At this point, we simply count our blessings every day.

Warmest regards to you and the family. When you have the opportunity, please say "hello" from me to our classmates.

Alec

Thanks to Barbara Barger Harelson for letting me know of a delightful article from the Greensboro News & Record (01/31/10) concerning an annual Christmas Party hosted by Lundee Williams Amos. There was apparently a nice picture of Lundee in the printed copy that did not make the online version. You can see the article by clicking HERE.



Anyone have any news, interesting stories and items you would like to share with your classmates, please let me know.

70 Birthday Party

A new page has been developed (see tabs at left) for our Birthday Party and pictures previously posted will appear on that page. All photos were taken by Mickey Connell except where noted. I have some pictures but need many more. Please send them to me!

This week we have something a little different, a video. Hopefully others will share their photos and memories with our classmates.

Thanks to Mary Lynn Caldwell Morrill for informing me of a video that her husband, Dan, took at the 70th Birthday event. The video is on YouTube and if you wish to see it click HERE. The video is 3 minutes and 42 seconds long.

PRAYER REQUESTS

Hearing of several of our classmates having problems, I have decided to add a section on our site that will allow you to read and note of those that would desire our prayers. Nothing will be posted without the permission of either the person or family approval. Also, a name without any details may be the only thing noted to keep anyone from any embarrassment. Thus, if you desire to be placed on a prayer list for either health and/or other reasons please let me know. Names will remain on the list for as long as desired but will be removed if additional information has not been forwarded to my attention within a few weeks time.

Please see Prayer Requests page for older but current requests.

I am sorry that I can not remember all faces. Please let me know of any names of those that are not identified.
