AKERS -
I spent 4 years in the USAF. I married a

Alabama Bank, now Regions Bank. I've been with them for 28 years and serve
as Sr VP, Volusia County FL. Judy and I raised our children in

FL. We live in Port Orange, near Daytona Beach. We have 2
children who graduated from the U of Alabama. Stephen 30, married 2 years

After WEHS, I worked for awhile then went to the U of
Alabama where I had a really good time for a year. Then I came back to
Birmingham
(as requested by the Dean and my mother) and went to Birmingham Southern for a year,
then worked and went to UAB at night. I returned to the U of Alabama graduating
in '65 with a Bachelor’s in Psychology. I graduated on Sat and married Don Mohr
(Bessemer High '58) on Sun. A few months later, when Don was offered a job
teaching theatre in small college, we moved to Iowa and then to Lincoln NE,
where we had 2 kids and lived for 20 years. While there, I got a PhD in
Educational Psychology from the U of NE. After I worked as a professor for a
few years, we moved to SC where we currently live. I am now a bureaucrat,
working for the State Dept of Ed as a consultant on standards and assessment
(mostly doing teacher training). Our daughter is married to a judge and I just
became a grandmother for the 3rd time. Meanwhile, our son (a late bloomer) is
attending Johnson and Wales, a culinary school in Providence. Does anyone
remember when Tommy Scarbrough put pig eyeballs in Ms Redfern’s aquarium (he
really didn’t know that formaldehyde would kill fish)? I thought Ms Redfern was
going to have apoplexy, but those eyeballs entertained everyone for the whole
day! How about Ms Whaley and her peanuts lined up on the desk and named for
students, then eating them when she called on you? What about Ms Baughan's
wart, which she (as a good Christian Scientist believing in mind over matter)
adamantly refused to acknowledge as being on the side of her nose? And, of
course, we, being teenagers of the '50’s, believed those stories about their
marital arrangements and why Mr Baughan rode a bicycle to work. Finally, did
any of you see Ms Hafling after you graduated? Several years ago, I found out
she was in a nursing home and wrote to thank her for everything she did for me
and Harriet Nabors (my best friend. Ms Hafling sent me back the most beautiful
letter. Since I was the pudgy academic in high school, I didn’t think I had
many memories except for studying, but I was wrong !

The day after graduation I moved to Mobile. I married Bob
Smith in '62. Barbara Robbins, my cousin and Pat Swindle were in our wedding. Unfortunately I have not kept in touch with any of our classmates since this
time. We have lived in Mobile, Spanish Fort AL, Clinton MS and now Raymond MS. Bob has been in the insurance field for years and is VP of Fox-Everett in
Jackson. We have 2 children. Kathy has 3 girls 2, 8 and 12. Rob and his wife
Miriam have a son 9 months and they live in Metairie LA. I worked for AL Power
Co in Mobile for 10 years and then became a "stay-at-home Mom." When we moved
to Clinton in '83, I became very interested in working with stained glass. I
took lessons, worked in a Jackson studio and we were members of the Chimneyville
Crafters Guild. I now have a studio in my home and have continued this passion
of working with glass. Last year, as a gift, I presented to our church,
The Episcopal Church of the Creator, the 14 Stations of the Cross in mosaic
stained glass. I have also started water color lessons. Throughout my
adult life I have always done some type of volunteer work in school, church and
community. Bob and I designed and had built our new home 3 years ago on a
fishing lake in Raymond where we enjoy sharing our home with family and friends.
My
husband died of a sudden heart attack April 27, 2003.
I lived across the street from Harrison Park where I went
to kindergarten, then Robert E. Lee and on to WEHS. Next door lived my cousins,
Barbara Robbins and her brothers Ron, Gary and Dale. Like Barbara, I remember
the Cook family, Diane, Carlton, Delores and their Dad playing tennis at the
park, skating in front of Berney Points Baptist, playing with Elease Mullins,
Martha Dean McCarter, walking to school with Barbara or begging Barbara's mother
to drive us to school because Barbara was always late. Some of you may remember
stopping at the drugstore at Berney Points on the way home from school with the
gang for a cherry coke or an iced bottle of Coke. Brenda Mitchell and I use to
ride downtown on the street car to the AL Theater to the Sat movies or walk to
the WE Theater. Pat Swindle and I enjoyed riding around in her V W convertible. I remember those Della Phi Delta dances, car washes and selling Krispy Kreme
Doughnuts to raise money. There were the band trips, singing in the choir,
football and basketball games, and United Nations Tour. Nancy Whitlow, do you
remember us lugging around those extra suitcases we just had to pack for the UN
Tour?
STEVE
BEASON - After WEHS, I spent 4 years in the USAF. Later
graduated from U of Alabama in '70 (slow learner). I lived in Altus OK,
Jackson MS and Fairfield Oh since '72 and have been married for 34 years to B.J.
who retired from teaching 2 years ago. 3 grown children, 2 grandkids with
one on the way. We both work at Argosy, a riverboat casino on the Ohio
River outside of Cincinnati. BJ is in customer service and I am a dealer. Planning to retire in about 3 years. Update: In '02, B.J. was diagnosed
with lung cancer and had surgery to remove 2 lobes of her right lung (chemo and
radiation took care of that problem). Then this year it showed up in her
right hip. After a partial hip repacement and more chemo, it appears she
will be OK. She will have another CT Scan and we will go from there. Keep her in your thoughts and prayers. I recall that Ms Baughan used to
make you do a ballet if you were late to her class. With that in mind, on
our last day in class, we all decided to wait in the hall and go in late. Well, we all got to do the ballet. She took the whole class down to the
auditorium and we spent the entire class period balleting or whatever. Another was the time that someone put pig embryo eyes in the fish tank on Ms
Redferns' desk. And who can forget "zippy" Zander?
I remarried in
2012 in Indian Rocks Beach, Fl {actually on the beach!} My new wife Peggy has 6
children, I have 3, we have 20 grandchildren, and 1 great. Life is great and we
now live in Tampa, Fl. since I had enough ice and snow while living in Ohio for
37 years!
BETTY
BOLLING -
I attended the U of Alabama. It was there that I met my husband Sam. We lived in
Birmingham for 2 years, in
Chicago a year, Indianapolis 10 months and moved on to Middletown NY, Sam's
hometown. We had a great life there for 18 years, but took the opportunity
to move to a warmer climate in '83. We have a son, who because of
distance, chose FSU over Alabama in '88. We can't complain. He has
done beautifully since receiving his BS, MBA and is an executive with Duracell
Div. of Gillette.
MYRA
BUCKNER - After graduation, I went to work for AL Telco Credit Union
in Birmingham. I met and married a fellow from GA, who was in the Navy, in '64. We had 4 children, 2 boys and 2 girls. We did a lot of moving with the
Navy, living in Annapolis, Newfoundland, FL, VA and Athens, Greece. After
Henry retired from the Navy, we moved back to Birmingham and I went back to work for
AL Telco. I plan to retire in June '02. Our oldest son was killed in
auto accident at age 24. Our other son lives in Topeka Ks and has 2 sons. Our oldest daughter is married, lives in Tallassee and has a daughter and son. Our youngest daughter lives in Huntsville and are expecting their first child in
Oct. God has been very good to our family. I am very excited about
seeing everyone. I would love to be able to talk to all of you but especially
those who went to Hemphill School.

MARGARET
COBB - After WEHS, I attended UAB, no degree. I married Gene

working several years for NASA contractors. He retired in '99. I
retired from Teledyne Brown Engineering in '97. We have 1 daughter,

Hunter, 7 and Mary Emily, 5. They live in Muscle Shoals, approx 1-1/2
hours from our front door to theirs and we are willing and available
babysitters! After living 30 years in Huntsville, we moved to Arab, AL in '92, a
little quieter environment. I enjoy gardening (well, Gene enjoys
gardening, I just DO it!), leading a weekly Bible study at my church, teaching
Sunday School, singing in the church choir, volunteer work and community
activities. I enjoy speaking to Women Ministry groups and cancer survivor
meetings, having had ovarian cancer in '79.
Gene received the greatest gift ever on June 12, 2002, a new heart! We spent
the summer of ‘02 in Birmingham living at the UAB Town House Apartments where we
could make almost daily trips to Kirklin Clinic. Gene is feeling great and this
year he celebrates his ninth “second chance” year. Life continues to be
interesting as in 2004, his transplanted heart was by-passed. Yet another
chapter. He continues to do well and exactly what he wants to do! We are truly
blessed!

Loved my 4
years at WEHS and all of the wonderful teachers and friends that were part of my
high school career! Entered the University of Alabama in the fall of ’60 and
graduated in ’66 with a degree in Economics. Immediately after graduation, Uncle
Sam wanted my services in Vietnam but I had other plans for my life! I joined
the U. S. Army Reserve and retired 30 years later as a Lt. Colonel while serving
our country in various capacities and duties. Loved my time in the military and
my military experiences have been most valuable in my civilian world. I worked
for U. S. Steel in various sales and marketing positions in Birmingham,
IA,
TX, LA and GA and enjoy a retirement for those many years. I am
married to the love of my life, a Florida girl who will attend the reunion with
me, and we have 6 children that are all grown, educated, gainfully employed and
out of our house, so far. We have 5 grandchildren, with more on the way, that we
love and enjoy very much! I still work as I enjoy working, “I’ve never really
worked a day in my life”, as the old saying goes, and use the additional income
to finance our travels around the world. We have a home in Roswell, GA, just
north of Atlanta, and would welcome a visit if one is in the area. Looking
forward to our reunion and hope to visit with everyone to talk and reminisce
about our WEHS days and where life has taken each of us since our graduation
from WEHS some 55 years ago. Life has been good and every day is a blessing from
God!
PAT

WEHS, I spent a few short years as a night club musician before starting a
legitimate career in Data Processing. Over the years I worked for several
companies: I was DP Director at Mayer Electric, DP Operations Mgr at AG

Alabama Power. I retired from Alabama Power at age 55. My wife Georgia and

doesn't show) and enjoy woodworking. I have collected '40s pottery for 20
years. We live in a 1915 home in the Highland Park neighborhood near the
old John Carroll site. I lost my Dad, but my elderly Mom and 2 older
brothers are doing great. Over the years I have had many uphill battles
and more than my share of personal struggles, but I'm still here and trying to
learn something new each day. I would love to know how my old friends are
doing. My best to you all.

Education School of Business at night from '83-'86, but by that time had gotten
heavily involved in local politics. With family, work and politics,
something had to give (hopefully, I'll graduate some day). I served as
chairman of the Rep Party in Shelby Co from '86-'90 and as Sect of AL Rep Party
from '95-''01. I am presently chairman of the Rules Committee for the
ALGOP. In '98 I was the founding pres of the AL Rep Assy and presently

Phyllis Schlafly in Washington and AL Eagle of the Year Award that same
year. I edit the monthly newsletter for the Mid AL Rep Club and put out a
conservative weekly email newsletter. I was a delegate to the 2000 Rep
Convention representing AL on the Platform Committee and I was most proud to
serve as an AL Presidential Elector for both George Bush in '88 and George W.
Bush in '00. We have lived in Pelham for the past 28 years. Jim is
retired from the Birmingham Police Dept and spends his time serving as Comm Dir of

JERE GAULT - Lots of memories, many of them fading at

years. Penny (Penny King of Ensley '61) and I married in '64, had our daughters
in '68 and '71. We look forward to celebrating our 55th wedding anniversary this
coming December. After WEHS, I attended night classes at UAB for two years, then
U of Alabama in Tuscaloosa for year and half. Too much fun there, so things
didn't go well. Joined the AL Army Nat'l Guard while pursuing an undergraduate
degree. Finally graduated in '70 from NE Louisiana U in Monroe. Worked for State
Farm in '66 in Birmingham, transferred to Monroe in '68, transferred to
Bloomington IL in '70, then to Winter Haven FL in '71. In '73 became a State

our other daughter, Robin. In 2017 Penny and I relocated to Atlanta,
GA to be near our two daughters…all part of our
retirement planning. Penny and I have traveled the world. Our favorite is the
Tuscany and Umbria areas of Italy. Part of Italy's attraction is Penny's
interest in art. She is an artist who also enjoys art history, and thus is a
marvelous tour guide for our family, especially in Europe. Our daughters are
each doing well. We have the one granddaughter who now has two of her own
children. One of my life’s most recent passions is helping migrant farm worker
students get “to” and “through” college. My friends and I currently have 34 such
students attending colleges and universities throughout the country…including
Harvard, Dartmouth, and Stanford. Thanks to God, Penny and I are living happily
ever after in Atlanta.
BILL HARRIS - I moved to
Birmingham my senior year and
graduated from WEHS in '60. I was employed by the Birmingham Fire Dept for 12 yrs and
resigned as a Lt. I then was employed as the Fire Chief in Midfield. I then
became a military technician with the 117th ANG unit in Birmingham. I have 3 boys,
all have degrees. My oldest has two degrees and is working on his third, the
middle one was in the honor society in high school and college and graduated
with a 3.5 GPA, UAB, biology. My youngest is a lawyer (Cumberland) with 4
degrees and his wife is a teacher and principal. She is working on her PHD. I
have two degrees. The G.I. bill was good to me. I married my first wife in '69
and she passed away in '00 with lymphoma. She was in the honor society in HS and
was a lovely, intelligent lady that is responsible for my boys success in
school. I married a wonderful, beautiful lady in '02. She was in the Honor
Society also and she takes good care of me. I want to tell you about my military
experience. High schools in Atlanta had a mandatory requirement (grades 8-12)
for Army ROTC. We had a rifle range in the basement of the gym and a competitive
rifle team. I had 3 yrs of Army high school ROTC. I then attended Auburn for two
yrs (not a very good student). Auburn had a mandatory two yr requirement for
ARMY ROTC. I then got my draft notice in '63 and joined the AF in '64. I ended
my military career in '02 at age 60 with 38 yrs of military service., If ROTC
counted, I would have had 43 yrs. I am a retired military technician and retired
AF with approximately 15 yrs of active duty. Between the ninth grade and age 60,
there was only one yr that I did not have a either an Army or AF uniform
assigned. It was good for me and maybe would be good for our society/culture.
