Comments: Hello everybody!!! I just stumbled onto this web site. For those who
knew me. A year after graduation, Me and Matthew Quesenberry got married (he is
also a '96 graduate from WWHS). He joined the Army, so we lived in Ft. Drum,
N.Y. for 3 years. The last year in service he was sent to Korea and I moved to
Waynesboro, VA. During this time my mother passed away and I got custody of my
younger sister she was 9. A month after Matt got home, I was pregnant. We had a
daughter, her name is Nancy, she is now 6. We lived in VA for the last 8 years
and just recently moved back home. Matt is working as a ironworker sice the
military thing. Last few years in Va, I was working as a DCA/MT in an assisted
living facility. I loved my job but couldn't deal with the death. So, after
moving back I decided to go to WVJC and recieve my Associates Degree in Medical
Office in Phlebotomy. We also got custody of my nephew, Kaleb just recently, he
just turned 13. Hopefully we will!
see you all at the next reunion. Love to hear from anyone who remembers us!!!

Comments: In regards to the reunion....Kristina Glover and I actually had a statistics class together at MSU and I informed
of the reunion and the date. I also told her about this website and that everyone was invited, all she had to do was contact
the reunion planning committee. I enjoyed the reunion and the people I saw; it was not a popularity contest.

Comments: I would like to comment on the message about the 1996 class reunion. I know the people involved in planning this event and
the amount of time which was put into our reunion. These people tried to contact everyone! I received numerous emails asking for help
in getting address and email address to people who they could not find. This was not a popularity reunion. If for some reason you were not
invited I can guarantee it was not from the lack of effort. These two women did a wonderful job and the reunion was successful. But there
was still a lot of "no shows"! So please understand they tried everythng they could to invite the entire class. I know they may have missed
a few people but there were postings of the renion on many different sites. So please don't be angry if you were not invited.

came. We didn't know if Jeff would have the day off or not and the whole non-refundable thing kept us from pre-paying. But

Comments: Just a quick note about the reunion this Saturday at Tamarack: There has been a great response and we
are thrilled that everyone is looking forward to it. However, we must give Tamarack a FINAL count on Friday. If you
have not paid by Friday, you will be asked to pay at the door. (The price will be $45 single $90 couple) The increase in
price is required to cover a late charge for Tamarack. There is no way around this, but once again this is only for those
who haven't paid by Friday.

Comments: Hello, I am just stopping in to let everyone know I may not be attending our reunion. My
job (computer software sales) requires travel about once a month. It just so happens I will be flying back
from St. Louis either late Friday evening or on Saturday sometime. We will see. Charlotte is a beautiful
city. I moved here from Virginia Beach just a few weeks ago and purchased my very own condo. Real estate is
absolutely booming here. For those of you who I have not talked to in these 10 years, I attended West
Virginia University and earned my Bachelors of Science in Journalism with a concentration in Advertising.
Obviously this makes me a good candidate for sales, as this is all I have done since! Zero on the husband
or kids thing, haven't gone down that road yet. My boyfriend Jay is lovely though! I'll have to be patient.
Take care everyone,

Comments: Hey guys I know a lot of you have questions about the family picnic. It is the day of the reunion
starting @ 11am. It is for everyone not just those of us with kids. Everyone does need to bring some type of
side dish or dessert, or drinks (no alcohol) sorry. Everyone so far is giving $10 towards the shelter and the main food.
You can mail it to me @ 641 Madigan Ave Morgantown, WV 26501 or just be sure to bring it the day of the picnic. The $10 is
per family, not per person. If you have any questions you can email me, I try to check my email daily. Thanks again Lori

across this site sort of by accident. It just popped up. Well, I'm still here in Beckley. I have been wanting
to move away for about 5 years now. I don't know why I'm still here. But anyway I'm doing fine. I really didn't get
into the whole college experience. I wish I could go back 10 yrs. But I am a nationally certified Pharmacy Technician,
and that is an accomplishment for me. I have one son, his name is Trey, he'll be 2 July 7. He is cute as a button
and he keeps me on my toes. Other than that, I'm healthy, my son is healthy and that is all that matters in life. I want

Comments: Hey class of 96 I know Meribeth is trying to get everyone money for the reunion, mine included but
I also wanted to remind everyone who wants to come about a family day picnic also on July 22, Little Beaver State
Park startin at about 11. If everyone will give about $5 each that will probably take care of the main food,
hotdogs and handburgers, maybe even drinks, and of course the shelter. I believe its shelter #4. If everyone
could bring a side dish also, then we should have a pretty good meal. Just let email me what you can bring and I'll
make sure its not being made or brought by someone else. Thanks for everything.
