> Dear Grainger High School Alumni, Administrators, Faculty, Coaches and
> Families:
>
> Earlier this year we created the GHS Red Devils Foundation to compile,
> preserve and present the history of Grainger High School which existed from
> 1926-1970 in Kinston. If you have not already done so, please visit our
> website at www.ghsreddevils.org with user name "reddevils" and password
> "reddevils" (all lower case) and please complete the online Bio Form so you
> will be included in our historical record. We need everyone's help in
> gathering materials and in locating the addresses for all Red Devils and we
> need charitable deductible donations to help with our expenses. If you have
> old Kay Aitch Ess annuals, old KI HIs, old photos, press clippings, etc., we
> would like to exhibit them on the website. Please let us know what you
> have.
>
> We are pleased and excited to invite you to our 2010 All-Class Red Devil
> Reunion scheduled for March 18 at Grainger Hill Performing Arts Center in
> Kinston and March 19-20 in Morehead City to celebrate the common heritage of
> all Red Devils. We plan to gather, reminisce about our high school days and
> "old Kinston", renew our relationships and have a great time together.
> Please try to attend as this may the last one we ever organize, unless it is
> so successful, we decide to have more of them in future years. We have a
> special Reunion Page on the website, so please check it for more details and
> for the names of our early registrants for the Reunion.
>
> Our Reunion schedule has been designed to give everyone time to get together
> with classmates and old friends and we encourage all GHS classes and groups
> to consider making their own arrangements for additional activities during
> this Red Devil Reunion weekend. Red Devils who would like to book a boat
> trip for Saturday morning at the beach can contact Charles Lewis '58 for
> assistance at clew...@ec.rr.com or 252-725-0583.

Linda, Thanks for keeping everybody in the google group informed on this. I have also signed up to attend but to date have not sent them our class roster of names with addresses. We have some classmates that were concerned during our reunion as to who outside of our class would have access to our list. By you forwarding this info to the google group, hopefully we are getting the word out. Look forward to seeing you and the family in March. Thanks again!!
