Wade,
Thank you man. I had a stupid grin all over my face while watching and listening. You know I had just arrived at the forge that year; those were the days of our youth my friend. That tight quartet harmony seems almost a lost art these days. Appreciate the memories my brother.

Brother Raymond,
Where do I begin? The joy of seeing that video and hearing the music of all the guys that were like brothers to me, especially Garthell, brought a smile to my face like none I've had in years! For a moment I was transported back to those unforgettable days at the Pines. Absolutely amazing!!! Thanks!

Raymond,
The video that you posted has my Dad in the background. I was able to show his picture to my daughter. She was glad to see her grandfather in moving pictures. I see that my sister Fran, in her post to you, has already given you our connection to the class of 69. It is good to see those that have passed and remember them in the prime of their youth. The music was good too. Thanks for the post.

Raymond, thanks so much for posting the video. I only watched it because my sister Sharon Williams Robinson was a part of the class of '69. Well, I didn't see her in the video however, I caught several glimpses of my father (the tall dark handsome man standing off to the side of the Elder Tivy as he gave out the diplomas), who was taking pictures of the first of 5 daughters to go through Pine Forge Academy -Sharon, Donna, Fran, Val and Toni. It brought tears to my eyes, because it was an unexpected surprise. Thanks again!
