We had
a wonderful time. Each year our reunion is better than the year before, perhaps
because we have a deeper relationship with one another. We look forward to
seeing you at our Sixth Annual Gathering on September 11 & 12, 2020.
A booklet, Childhood Memories and Reflections, GPHS Class of 1963, was compiled by Sandy Harmon Johnson from childhood stories she gathered from classmates. The booklet is a telling of our stories as we remember them, and is dedicated to our classmates who have gone before us.
