From Cecil Buffington . . .
Time for a happening! Did you ever think of having a Face Book Reunion? I know I didn't. Sometimes I am amazed at my lack of vision and creativity.
When Garry Glenn first mentioned it as a possibility, I sort of gave it that "I don't know about that smile." Now as I think about it, it makes good sense.
We constantly communicate by postings on a huge social net-work, We all have friends that we went to school with that remain dear to us as we age. Us older guys, and probably gals too, like to think about and talk about the old days as we get on with what is left of our lives. So why can't we just sit down and communicate face-to-face with these people when we get the chance. Well, now we have that opportunity. I urge you to take advantage of it!
When Garry expanded the event to include all former Jefferson High School and Martin Institute people, I again thought the situation over. Again it was "Why not?"
If we are going to be there anyway, why not extend invitations to as many of our friends as possible. Now all of this madness makes good sense to me.
If you can make it Saturday, November 20, drop by the Jefferson Club House and say "Hello."
The event will crank up at around 6:30 pm and we will keep it open until 11:30 pm or so. We can get alot of interesting conversation and fellowship completed by this time.
I know it's getting close to Thanksgiving and Christmas. It's always easy to find reasons NOT to go somewhere or get something done. I think in this case, it would behoove you to look for reason's to attend this event. The main reason being that Garry Glenn and Ceil Jarrett have applied valuable time to make this happen. Another reason is that It may or may not happen again. In any event, it is a first time happening as far as I know. I can find many reason's for attending. I'll bet you can too, if you'll just take the time to objectively look at it.
If you have questions about the event, please ask them of Garry at rgglenn@aim.com or facebook.com/rgglenn
You can also contact me at fishh64@yahoo.com. If I don't have an answer for you, I will get you an answer.
Again! I look forward to seeing you this Saturday night. I have so many people I call a friend that I have never actually met. I'll bet you do, too!
Have a great day and a great Holiday Season. God Bless each of you!

THe Jefferson City Clubhouse on Memorial Drive in Jefferson, Georgia.
If you come in on the bypass from the Gainesville direction, go past Kroger. Take the first left at the bottom of the hill at the bank. It is Old Swimming Pool Road. If you come in from the Athens direction, the bank is on the right just past a sign that reads: Jefferson Memorial Stadium. Take the first right after you go by Dairy Kreem and the new Doctor's clinic. Go on past the bank . . .
When you pass the lake, keep looking left and the Club house is behind the little league and tee ball fields. It is a brick building with a green metal top.
There are playground items for the kids. I don't know how well lighted these grounds are after dark. If you bring children, be sure to provide supervision if they get on this equipment.
Turn off the Winder Highway onto Memorial drive at this sign.
You'll run directly into these sign's at the end of Memorial drive. The club house can be seen behind the signs.
Plenty of room in the club house. Great facility.

When you look to your left and see a small lake with a Boy Scout log cabin behind it, you're close.
When you see these signs~ You're there. The clubhouse can be seen behind the signs.
If you come in from Jefferson turn off the Winder highway onto the road between the bank and the bowling alley. This is Memorial Drive. It goes to the stadium.
Go past Memorial Stadium on your left. You will be headed directly at the clubhouse.
Plenty of parking to the right of the club house. Should we have good attendence, please do not block street driveways. I've seen vehicles towed during football games for blocking drives along this street.
Outside area. Maybe a little late to utilize this setting at this time.
Sign just past the bowling alley points the way!
