Hi everyone, this is Cathy Beeson Bridge. You may or may not remember me. I have included my old photo, of course I look nothing like that now!
But whether you remember me or not, I hope you will be interested in reconnecting with classmates through this website. For some, high school was great, for others not so hot...but we are all connected by those few years we spent together during some of the happiest and some of the most difficult periods of our life. We were all adolescents, learning to drive, fitting in, finding love, getting our hearts broken, trying to be cool and figuring out our path in life. This website will be for the class. It will be for our news and events. I hope you will enjoy it. It is free for you to register. Please register below and let us know about you and your families in the comment section. You can update the information when ever you want. If you have problems uploading your photos, email them to me at cathy.bridge@gmail.com. Cathy |
