RABUN GAP NACOOCHEE HOMECOMING 2005

Friday - June 3, 2005 (Cont'd)

Dennis gets the cookbook sales going with the purchase of 8 books.

John Marshall arrived early to check on registration and to greet everyone.  Barbara and Beverly thanked him for the hospitality.

Barbara Dean Hallford '55 with husband Irvin rocking and visiting on the porch.

Alice Hempel Kamin '59 arrived bearing gifts.  She had embroidered pink flamingos on a t-shirt for Dale.  Dale is a big time flamingo collector.  What a nice thing to do Alice!

The Class of 55 was celebrating their 50th.  Here are three shining examples of that class.  Bill Kelly, Gene Vinson, and Verlon McDowell.

Rodney was relieved from cookbook duty by Tom Weaver '60.  We were all anticipating Tom's sermon on Sunday and his attire.

Alice sat down at the old loom and did some weaving.  We were all impressed.

Beautiful work, after all these years.

Ford Kamin, Alice's husband, with Angie as Dale greets Bob Welden '55.

The Dickerson siblings - Carol Dickerson Dunbar '52 with brother Dennis.  When these two get together - the party begins.

Susan is admiring Tom's plaid shirt and Tom seems most proud of it.

Bill's wife, Jean Kelly, seems to be enjoying all these handsome guys surrounding her.   
Verlon McDowell, Ron Ward, Gene Vinson, husband Bill, and Ken Ward.

Verlon with wife, Chris - looking forward to the party Bill has planned for the class of 55's anniversary.

This group of alums from the 40's found a quiet spot on the porch to chat.  Harold Mauldin '42 JC with wife, Charlotte Mauldin, and Victor C. Nix '41 JC in the white shirt.  Victor Nix did the wonderful bird carvings for the arts show.

Janie arrived all smiles and sunshine.  Dennis, Carol and husband, Bill  greets her with hugs.  She is much loved by the alumni.

Jim Lougher greets Ken and Pat Wright McNulty '59.  World travelers who know how to enjoy life.

Tom Weaver seems most proud to be next to Dr. K. K. Anderson.

Janie visits with Don Kelly '53 and Dennis Dickerson.

A special display was placed in the front lobby for the JC's.  We are very grateful for the JC's who raised money for the Alumni Heritage Center and helped make it possible.

Janie greets Christine Minor Williams '42 JC and  Jane Thigpen Alexander '40 JC.  When Jane's hat was admired, she admitted that she collects hats and has about 100.  Bet she looks good in all of them.  

  Olivia Dees Gillis '55 and Naida Dees Tanner '56  are remembered fondly by many and were welcomed warmly.   We missed them last year.

Anna and Phillip Stanley '59 checking in.  Anna and Phillip enjoy homecoming and try to take part in everything planned.  

Terre and Don Kelly '52 visiting with Barbara.  Terre and Don are responsible for that beautiful hosta garden in the courtyard.

Alice takes over the cookbook table from Tom.  Here she convinces  Mary Jane Carver McCoy '59 to buy yet another cookbook.

The Archives had a visit from Alan and Gail Means Beisiegel '60, Janie, Cathy Kelly Parker '77, and Linda Means Kelly '56.

Beverly Guthrie Lougher, Terre Kelly, Barbara Lewis Estes, Lee Smith, and Hazel Guthrie Underwood watching for arrivals.

Jimmy Moore brought the grill for Saturday night's cookout.  He always does everything he can to help with Homecoming.  Everyone loves when he shows up with ice cream.

Jimmy and Charlie discuss the cookout game plan.  Charlie will be head cook this year with Phil Landers '58 not in attendance.  Phil and Linda had to attend the wedding of their niece in Asheville.  They will join us next year (or else).

Here we have the Executive Board Meeting of the Cookbook Society.  Angie's "50's Alumni Cookbook" and Jimmy's "Buttermilk Cookbook" were printed by the same company.  A copy of Jimmy's cookbook is in the chair.  Proceeds of Jimmy's book goes to the Judy Moore Nursing Scholarship Fund.  Judy was dear to all the alumni who knew her.

Carol Dickerson found this Jack in the Pulpit plant growing with Billy Joe's native plants that he carefully tends under the front windows of the Heritage Center.  Every plant has a medicinal purpose and he can tell you about each.
