Note from Stew Price:
I am writing to let everyone know that a prior demon has finally been eliminated! I have often said if I could go back and do anything over again, I would go back to our senior year and we would play New Bern again in football and we WOULD win this time. I have ALWAYS thought we were the better team, but not that night. Keais was in the hospital IN New Bern and we could see the hospital from the field. They beat us in overtime. That game has haunted me for years….BUT 2 weeks ago, my son was starting at guard for Sanderson High School. (Starting guard, sound familiar?) New Bern came to Raleigh. They were HEAVILY favored. Sanderson has not won a game all year.
BUT they won this one!!!! They beat New Bern and since we are not playing them next year, I do not have to worry about playing them ever again. My son cleared my slate. Life is good.
Thanks for letting me indulge myself. (No one around here appreciated this story???????)

What a weekend it was, I still can’t believe is over. After seeing all the pics here and on FB, looks like everyone had a good time. But I do have one regret, and that is not had the chance to chat with everyone Friday night and I apologize for being an inhospitable host. I think half of you already knew about the incident of that pig picking we supposed to have, for those didn’t, here is what happened. John and I took shifts in cooking that pig, during that time the rain storm came and it was just too wet for us get out there to regulate the heat, by that time John had already left to go home and take a shower and I was inside tries to answer all the phone calls inquiring about the reunion, next thing I know, all that grease from the pig dripped on to the charcoals and caught on fire. Needless to say, it was burnt beyond recognition. Actually the rain storm was a blessing, it cool down the night and made it very comfortable for us to hang out on the deck. Lastly, I like to thank John Grimes for getting everyone informed about the reunion, Gino for the fabulous entertainment, Keais and Lisa for their time and effort working at all the events, Craig and Laura with the facility and name badges, Kathy and her decorating committee, Tim Lanier’s (2) pizza runs Friday night and everyone involved in the planning committee. Right now I don’t know what the economy is going to for me this summer, if my business is still here I would like to have a get together over the Holidays, either over the Thanksgiving or Christmas. I do have an annual New Year’s Eve party here, if anyone is interested getting together let me know. Bill
