SHENANDOAH VALLEY ACADEMY
CLASS OF 1960'S 50TH HIGH SCHOOL REUNION

12/07/11 Update .... I scanned and posted the Class Photo of the 50th Reunion of the class of 1961 today ... It is posted at the very bottom of this page ... We received this yesterday from SVA.

Update May 3, 2011 Nancy Mondics Class of 61 50th Reunion Photos ... Click Up Here Password is newmarket61 to view photos (I have added Billy Hooker's graduation video link at the bottom of this page)

Becky and I had a wonderful time! There was a little over half of our class in attendance.
Don and Peppy (Lord) Clark and Connie Dalton did a whale of a job coordinating and setting up the food, audio visual, etc.
This is the longest single web page I have ever put up ... and you will need DSL at the least, and you can always go to your local library which always have free very fast downloads.
Please do favorites or bookmark this page 1st off as many of our links have no returns!!!

And it's amazing how after 50 years we can all be kids again for a few days! Our school, our class, our teachers, our friends have stayed with us in our hearts all these years and that includes those that have passed away before their time.
Peppy also remembered those in our class that have passed away and during our Saturday night dinner we were informed of Chunky Dickson passing the day before. He was a huge part of our class and was a friend to all! We have now lost 12.

Becky and I flew in 2 days early and visited Williamsburg, VA. and then Staunton VA for 2 days afterward .. links to both those photos sites later.

Below here I will put my photos up first and then some of Nancy Mondics Hardy's which you can also see in total on Shutterfly.

Late Night Update ..4/24/10 ... Have started the new post reunion Email page ...Link is at the bottom of this page.

All these SVA websites brought to you by Dave & Becky Hemp. None of my sites are affiliated with or approved by the SDA Church or School ..So .. Please don't blame them :>) Grin!

This photo was taken in Staunton VA after the reunion at a Classic Car dealer that Becky noticed. She really likes this car .. He was asking too much of course.

Becky took this photo with our Nikon D200 Camera, with a Nikor 18 - 200 Telephoto Lens, Great Job Beckity! When I buy the new Nikon D3s (Full Frame camera) this D200 will be yours.

Dale actually is one of the most gifted woodworkers I have ever seen ... I could never make anything even close to what he does and I am not trying to diminish in any way the great story that Reggie shared with us on how Dale made this paddle for him many years ago.
Becky and I love all you guys & gals and I hope you have enjoyed these myriad of SVA websites.

Happy holiday to the west coast. Back East we are working on our toy project again.. Bill Barney, Jim Sanderson, Jerry Winkle and I have been making toys for tots. We did 497 this year. It is a lot of fun to get together to work on this project in Bills shop. Yesterday we celebrated by taking our wives to lunch at Olive Garden. We are alive and well. God has blessed us.
