New Site Almost Done -
Our WebMaster, Dan Zodun, has almost finished the updated
site. Don't be alarmed if it has to be down for a couple
of days for admin stuff while the new site is launched.
I got some cool Highland Springs history info from
Micki Taylor Burton courtesy of her Mother. After the
new site is up and running I will see about working
it in just for general cool nice to know stuff. We got
some more reunion info to post in the next few days
so keep watching. Oh by the way, "Congratulations"
to the new HSHS graduating class of 2002.

I'm So Excited -
Okay, so now I am starting to get excited because I
am starting to see some of the reunion commitees benefit
from this website. I've also been hearing from people
from time to time who actually read the things on this
site and email comments on things I have written about.
I haven't been able to devote as much time to the site
as before what with packing and moving and having a
weeks trip/vacation(?) (which was scheduled way back
when). Now I'm doing the wallpaper stripping and painting
thing. Back to business, Carolyn Hughes (Rhoades) sent
in a "Favorite Hangouts" piece that really
jogged the old cobwebs. She mentioned the old High School
which later became the HS Elementary school and then
after the fire became the school board building. She
also reminded me that there used to be a little house
adjacent to the school where all the girls went to study
home economics. If I'm not mistaken that building was
torn down when they built the bank next door. I also
remember another house that was over behind that one
too. I don't remember much about it except Dan Zodun
and I would go over there to get pears off of the tree
next to the house. Highland Springs always had some
really nice older houses in it. There is a house on
Daisy Street that I liked so much that I've always said
that if I ever moved back to HS, I would buy that house.
Nice older homes in the Springs and Richmond. I guess
that's the older Magnolia South influence.
I see on the news that VA is getting a lot of rain.
Please send some down to Central Florida, Thank you.
I don't know about everyone else but I am quite tired
of the Isreali/Palestinian/Iraq/Afghanistan/Saudi-Arabia
thing. It would be nice to be able to concentrate our
efforts and resources on the United States for awhile.
Okay, I'm getting off the soap box for now because I
can't feel a vent coming on. Otherwise I will end up
creating a list a mile long of individuals and organizations
that I would like to give to give a collective "Boot
in the ass" to.
One more thing before I go. I would like to see other
people volunteer for a column on the site. People from
other age groups besides the one I am in. Someone from
the 80's, 90's, 60's or 50's. Please drop
me a line and let me know if you are interested.
