| 1961 | February Luncheon -
Just a reminder of our Luncheon on Tuesday, the 24th. at 11:30 at the Dutch Inn. Because our attendance last month doubled and the Dutch Inn was not quite prepared for 43 people, please let me or Janet Handy know by the 23rd, if you plan to attend. Also, spread the word about how much FUN we are having to other classmates!!! We’d love to have more FHS classmates attend. In January, we had a lady come from the Class of '45, ‘56 and up through 1965 - the last year of FHS.
If there is inclement weather on the 24th and schools are closed, of course, we’ll cancel our luncheon and meet again on the 4th Tues. in March.
I look forward to seeing you on the 24th!!!!
Blessings,
Harriett - Admin - 2/13/2015

| 1961 | 50 year reunion - Thank You to 28 of the best classmates ever to graduate from Fieldale High School. Enjoyed seeing each and everyone of you beautiful girls who have grown into gorgeous Ladies and good-looking guys who have grown to become distinguished Handsome men. Your support made our reunion a blessed success. I could not have ask for a better turn-out. Love each and everyone of you wonderful classmates. We still could remember roaming the halls holding hands and talk about our crushes we had with each other. See you in 5 years Ladies and Gentlemen.... - Janet Smith Handy - 6/26/2011
|
| 1961 | Incredible... - Thank you so much to everyone who was warm and welcoming to Daddy (Bobby Cundiff) and myself. He was forced to sit for most of the celebration due to medical issues, but people were so polite to wander by and say hello, chatting for a few minutes and moving on. Galant efforts were made by some to include him and I am sincerely grateful to those beautiful, kind and generous souls.
I must tell you though, At 46 I was surprised and how FANTASTIC everyone looked. I cannot think of a single person that looked what should have been at their age, having graduated in 1961. The ladies are still beautiful and charming. The men still handsome and charming with that little hint of a mischievous twinkle in their eye, which is still irrestible.
I truly feel Blessed having had the honor of attending the 50th Reunion for the Fieldale High School Class of 1961. I feel that I was among some of the finest people that have ever been bore into this world.
To the Fieldale Class of 1961 - Congratulations, not only for being graduates and for returning to the reunion, but for being an incredible group of people that seem to have a most unusual closeness and affection for their classmates
and just in general being an AWESOME group of people.
May God continue to work in the life of each and everyone one of you, always making sure you are on the right path. With my utmost appreciation and admiration. With Prayers and the Utmost Affection. always, Cindy - Cindy daughter of Bobby Cundiff - 6/18/2011
