We've come a long way in ten years from a miniscule 20 megabyte freebie web
hosting
service limited to about 250 pictures to today's 226 megabyte 5500+ picture
Class website.
Randy Caines
President 2000-2009
Elected in the first year of the millennium, his leadership
guided the Class with several Mini-Reunions at his house in
Wilmington. He also led several Class excursions throughout his
leadership. Sadly, the most memorable was the Class' trip to see
Frances Yeargan exemplified by her untimely death exactly one
week after our visit. In 2008, Randy initiated the NCSD 1968
Football Champions 40th Anniversary Banquet which also provided
the rare opportunity to have
14 members of the Class together.
The Class thanks him for keeping the school spirit alive!

Lester Latkowski
President 2009-current Day, Vice Prez
2000-2009 & Class Webmaster for All Time. Several times
over the years attempts were made to start a Class newsletter
and some never got to the second issue. So when I was elected
VP, I decided to take on that responsibility. Without
repeating here what's already mentioned in the
About &
Why
pages, it was easier to post pictures in the electronic
format than it was to print on paper. Three issues of The
Class of 1970's newsletter grew from a small but free 6
page website to a 400 page Class website that is also being used
as part of a class project in a public school! As Class
President, I'm going to continue planning for our Class
Reunions, large and small, and hope ya'll come and come again.

MamaPat Latkowski
Inducted as Honorary
Member by Prez.
Caines at NCSD HC
2000 for her donation
to the Sunshine Fund. MP, as she is also known, has
contributed to the Class in many ways. She did tons of
assistance in the development of this website. She was
responsible for scanning the Yearbook and every 35mm film slide
that
Gary Hunnings let us post on the site. She originally was
assigned to make enhancements to photos before publishing but
her workload in this department has lightened since she
"trained" me to make the photo enhancements. Her proudest work
was the decorating the tables for our 2005 & 2010 Reunions and
designing the nostalgia tables. One time she indicated to me
that the Classmates makes her feel young again. |
Beth Fitts
Inducted as Honorary
Member by Prez.
Latkowski. I met Beth at a Deaf-Blind pancake fundraiser in
December of 2010 and this was when we discovered that we were
both writers for
The Bugler. During our conversation, I found
that she was mainstreamed in public schools and that she
graduated the same year we did. During the interview for the
magazine, she mentioned she met Classmate Louise and had a video
chat with my brother David. Small world, right? After
completing the interview, I asked if she goes to any of her
class's Reunions. Surprisingly, she said no, so to make life
more interesting, I asked if she wanted to join us in our next
Class Reunion in 2013. She just about jumped for joy and this
was when I said she was now an honorary member of the Class of
1970. You can find my The Bugler article here in
pdf. |
   
And I would like to mention
Louise, dedicated to
the Class as Treasurer, or
better yet, as Guardian for our
Sunshine Fund. For the
last decade and
year, we had several Treasurers,
Richard Glover,
Mary Beth
and
Joyce Sigmon...because
of the distances of the 'homes' of these
Classmates, Louise accepted the responsibility for attending to the
funds. And I applaud her for taking on this responsibility...
beyond my expectations.
And last but never, ever the least, the
NCSD Classmates of
1970. Click

Celebration

Yearbook. |
