This website has never posted a notice about an "All School Reunion", but there have been rumors and Facebook posts that talked about that possibility. This has raised some concern from some good people.
I just heard from Wayne Lemon about a possible misunderstanding, and he wanted people to know (in a neighborly fashion), that Wayne and Phil Kline's annual party is not an all school reunion. Most of the people that come have received an invite, and some bring friends, but they're really not set up for a whole bunch of people.
Please spread the word on this, because nobody wants to be disappointed.

The amount of rain forecast is from less than a tenth of an inch to a quarter of an inch tomorrow.
Though the amount of precipitation does little to impact area needs, the cool front bringing the rain has lowered predicted highs by at least 10 degrees. Currently (as of 5 pm CDT), the temperature is at 105 degrees. The highs should range near 95 degrees and the lows for the area should range from 74 to 71 degrees Sunday night.
