Just wanted to say hello. I didn't graduate with you, I had moved by then, but I went to Five Points with many many of you and was surprised how many of you I remembered, looking through the pictures. I'm in the picture of Mr Welty's 7th grade class. If any of you remember me and want to say hello, write back. Great website. Jim Patton |

Congratulations to everyone who has put in all of the efforts for this reunion and website! I was unexpectedly contacted a few weeks ago about the reunion – quite nice surprise. I’m glad to see that the Flyer spirit is still alive and has such enthusiasm. I’ve only been back to Fairborn a few times, for business, in the last 40 years. I’m curious about how much as changed over those years. My wife and I are living outside Boston. Been here for over 30 years. While I won’t be able to make the reunion, I am looking forward to pictures and a detailed report of events. When will planning for the 50th start…?

Isn't it amazing that all this time has passed but it seems like only a few months ago since we were graduating? I still live in the area and often pass by where many of you lived - wondering what happened to each of you. Glad to see so many of you have "checked-in." Hope to see you in September.

| Greetings to all and many thanks to the committee members for their hard work! I have just spent an hour taking a trip down memory lane--complete with smiles and tears. I received the mailing Friday, followed by a call from Jo Stansbury Watters to ask me if I knew I was "missing"? Since Les and I live in the same Mitman Park house (2 blocks from the old high school) that we bought in 1976, I teach every day at Fairborn High School, and we have all 3 of our children and all 3 grandchildren living right here in Fairborn, I really am only worn out, dazed and amazed, not missing! I am looking forward to seeing everyone in September and would love to hear from anyone in the meantime. | |||

I am deeply saddened to have read the "Lost Classmates" section, but I would rather know now that at the reunion. This is my first reunion and we will have a great time. <@ :-} | |||

Although I won't be able to make it back for the reunion, I will be there in spirit...best wishes to everyone - have a great time! Congrats to all the folks who have been working to put it all together - great website. I will raise a glass to memories of good times and good friends when September rolls around.

Hello, Classmates! Great web site -- hats off to the reunion committee! I had a chance to attend a DoD course at Wright-Patt a few years ago and got to stay in the same BOQ where I washed windows the summer before senior year. Craig Moore, Steve Wolaver and I went to a Fairborn HS basketball game at Dayton Coliseum. We won, but it just wasn't the same, rooting for the Skyhawks. Go, Flyers! I hope to make the reunion and look forward to re-newing friendships and meeting new classmates I don't know. Be safe, everyone. Joe |

Congratulations on a great website! The committee has done an outstanding job with the planning process for the 40th reunion. I didn't participate in any of the high school clubs or organizations. Because of that, my "friendship circle" in high school was a small group. I am married, live in Englewood, have one daughter and one granddaughter. I retired from United Airlines in 2005. My husband and I spend the winter months in Florida. If I don't see you at the reunion, have a great time!! |

Any chance we could have obits posted for the others that have passed...I did not know about Rick B. or Ray F... and I cried over Mike's recent passing. I loved his mischevous smile.

Hello to all classmates! I must have spent 2 hours looking at this great web page since Debbie Johnson Howell first contacted me. Such a profesional job. I then went and pulled out my Junior yearbook. (My Sr yearbook was loaned to Russ Cargill and I never got it back.) It will be good to see everyone. (That means you DeHart so make plans) Having a hard time with the concept of us graduating 40 years ago. |

Hello to all Flyers. Here is what happened to the Flyers nickname and colors. Shortly after our graduation the Fairborn City Schools split into two high schools. Our building became Fairborn Baker(named for long time superintendent H.K. Baker) and retained the Flyers mascot and colors. The second high school was named Fairborn Park Hills with Vikings as mascot and Brown and Gold for colors. This building is currently Fairborn High School. Our building is now Baker Middle School. After 10 years declining enrollment led to consolidation back to one high school. Trying to avoid any favoritism toward either school a new mascot was created: Skyhawks(looks like a Hawk) Colors were dreadful keeping the Blue from one and Brown from the other. The football team took it upon themselves one year to come out in Columbia blue with dark blue piping and white highlites. It stuck(thankfully) and the colors are officially Columbia Blue, Dark Blue and White. The tradition of the Flyers, Blue and Gold goes back to 1925 when the Flyers were operating as Osborn-Bath Consolidated School (Central Jr. High building). The ten year split of the high school destroyed all of that tradition and is lost forever. |

Have been back to Fairborn once since graduation, took a drive one night during a business trip to Wright Patterson AFB. Many changes were noticed, buildings and roads gone (or the memory is vague) and many new things, some in place of the old. Could not get to the neighborhood where I lived as it was on the base, and that old ID that got me through the gates about 35 years ago (at time of visit) was long gone. Yes, did manage to find the high school of our tenure, it seems so small now. Even managed to find the new high school. Will be interesting to learn how everything evolved from the then to the now. |

I'm sure that we'll see a lot of classmates who we haven't seen at the previous reunions as the result of their effort. As a side note, I know that Clay Johnston didn't graduate with us, but he passed away in Germany in 1992 while serving in the Army flying the AH64. He was married to Mary Johnston who was class of '69. Again, thanks to all involved with the planning committee. | |||
