2007 REUNION CELEBRATES 40 YEARS!

The McClain Classes of 1967 and 1968 enjoyed a great celebration in 2007 – a joint 40th anniversary reunion. In addition to the main reunion at the Greenfield Eagles Lodge on Saturday, August 11, there was also a reception at the old Elementary Gym on Friday, August 10 featuring a tour of the high school by Supt. Terry Fouch, a member of the Class of 1968! The weekend festivities also included a Saturday golf outing at Buckeye Hills and a class picnic Sunday afternoon at the home of Rick and Vicki Unger. 

Thanks to the planning committee members for organizing this wonderful weekend, and to everyone who attended. 

Photos from the weekend appear below. If you have information or photos that you would like to share, please feel free to send to to classof1967@roncoffey.net

 

A NOTE ABOUT THE CLASS REUNION PHOTO BOOKS:

I have been contacted by a few folks wondering about the status of the reunion photo books ordered at the reunion in August.

Brant Parrish of Parrish Photography has run into some snags but is still working on the photo books. He emailed in October to report that, due to quality problems with the printing company he had been using, he decided to order his own ink and paper to print the photos. He apologized for the delay and hopes to have the books in the mail soon.

Since Brant is the daughter of Linda Beatty Parrish (Class of 1967), I don’t worry about any shenanigans taking place – the production is just taking longer than anticipated.

Brant has a website at http://parrishphotos.com/ where an email address and phone number are posted.

Remember The Ravins?

The Ravins were an early-to-mid-1960s band in the Greenfield area. Members pictured above included (L-R): Ken Welch rhythm guitar, Jim Wise drums, Mike Yankie, lead guitar, Marty Beatty, lead vocalist, Jeff Mossbarger, rhythm guitar, and Bob Riley, bass guitar. Thanks to Jim Wise, now of Hyco Lake, NC, for the photo and the information.

Jim went on to provided the following information: "Later the group re-organized with Mike and Bob leaving the group, being replaced by Colin Kelley on bass guitar/vocals and Kellis Smith on guitar. I think Kellis and Ken took turns playing lead guitar.  The name also changed to The Distinguished Order of Sound.  I have a Greenfield Times newspaper clipping with the groups picture on the front page after playing at 'The Place'.  If you don't remember, that place was supposed to take Penny's place but it didn't stay open too long."
