Party Over There! Reunion After Party Pics-Part IV of V

After the Reunion party, we moved it over to Old Town back to where we were on Friday night-The Continental..................

Party Over Here! Reunion Pics Part III

Here is Part III of IV Reunion Pics!!! I know we keep saying this but I think everyone had a great time! Although it was impossible to catch up with everyone, we had a good time trying. I was laughing so hard at times, I was crying.

Also, we want to apologize for not having the professional photographer photos. A few of us did our best to take as many pictures as we could with our own cameras but unfortunately I don't think we got everyone in the photos. If you have some pictures from any part of the weekend, please email them to us @ shsclassof1987reunion@yahoo.com

MOST ABNOXIOUS SPOUSE/GUEST AWARD GOES TO.............
Chuck Carroll - Spouse of Meredith Mead Carroll :)
Seriously----a big kudos to all of the spouses & guests who attended. You all were such good sports. Hopefully you had a little bit of fun too!!!

One last note - if anyone knows how to download music onto SLIDE.COM, tips would be greatly appreciated. As you can hear, the selection was pretty lame :(

Excuse Me, Do I Know You? Friday Meet & Greet - Reunion Pics Part II

Tee Time!!!! Friday Golf - Reunion Pics Part I

The Time of Our Lives

Well, reunion weekend is officially over and it was great seeing all those who attended. Those of you who could not be with us, we missed you. I cannot say much about the Friday night Meet and Greet, as I was unable to attend, but according to the pictures, everyone had a lot of fun. Saturday night was fantastic and it was great seeing so many faces that we have not seen in 20 years. I think the blog was a great way to catch up with everyone and we encourage you to still send in posts - we will keep the blog going as long as we have information to post.

We took a lot of pictures, but know we did not capture every moment of the weekend. If you had your camera with you, please forward us the pictures that you took. I think we will be posting pictures for a few weeks.

Thanks to all who came - we had such a great turnout and everyone looks the same - it is amazing that nobody has aged in 20 years.

Hope all of you had a good time. Please send in your thoughts on the reunion weekend - we know our classmates who could not be with us would love to hear about it.

See you soon.

Here are a few Reunion Do's & Don'ts

DO attend your 20 yr Reunion to have a good time with friends








DON'T over indulge in adult beverages - strange things may occur if you do........

1.) For example you might end up in a shower with a bunch of guys AND a volleyball




2.) Your vision may become impaired










OR you may end up going totally crazy & find yourself dancing with lamp shades on your head









AND last but not least

Don't abandon your spouse/guest - sheer boredom may set in, they too may over indulge in adult beverages & hangover may follow

Ok - seriously, just show up ready for a good time!!!!!

Disappointment all around

Here is an update from Michelle Morse, who is disappointed that she will not make the reunion. It seems it is the season for baseball playoffs as LeighAnn Willcox Howell cannot make the reunion either due to her son in the playoffs....what is a Mom to do???

We are so glad that updates are still coming in. Please continue to send them, even after the reunion. We will be posting pictures from the reunion weekend so keep checking in.

Hope to see you there!


I am so disappointed I won’t make the reunion, but my oldest two made their all-stars teams, and the games begin on Friday. I had such a blast at the 10 year reunion and was really looking forward to seeing all of you again. Guess we’ll have to let an update suffice for now. At the time of the 10 year reunion, I had been married three years and had an eleven month old son. Since then, hmmmm, let’s see…long story short…I had three more children – all girls, moved to Tennessee and divorced. I live ten miles from Nashville . My ex and I get along, live in the same school district and share custody of our kids, Harris, Elise, Amanda Lee and Claire. I have a great job with Easter Seals TN, have a great boyfriend (I’ve no intention of marrying again) and have never been happier. My first year here I was terribly homesick but I’ve grown to love it.

I hope all of you are happy and healthy and prospering. It’s been fun to read the updates and see the pics. Sorry I’m missing all of you – please say hi sometime, I’d love to reconnect!

Best to all-

2 Boys - too many trips to ER

Thanks to everyone on the reunion committee, you all have done a great job. I have enjoyed reading everybody’s updates. Ok here goes my story for the past 20 years. Moved to Virginia right after our high school graduation (literally a week later). Went to school for information technology. In 1991, my parents and siblings moved back to Slidell and I stayed in Virginia . I worked and lived right next to the pentagon and was there during 911. In 1998, I got married on Cape Cod, Ma and in 2003 we built our house and moved to Massachusetts to be closer to my husband’s family or was it so my husband could attend more redsox games-I haven’t quite figured that out yet! Now that the redsox have won a world series and after four LONG years of living in Massachusetts , we are hoping that within the next six months my company will be transferring me back to Virginia . I am currently a Senior Security Consultant for a government contractor at Hanscom AFB and my husband is the VP of Information Technology for a small social policy contractor. I have two son’s Shane 6 ½ and Cooper 2 ½ they keep us very busy – many trips to the emergency room.


All of my immediate family still resides in Louisiana and all but one brother are still in Slidell . The new Texas Roadhouse in Slidell is actually owned by my sister Karol and brother-in-law Tracy. Some of your children have actually taken dance classes from my sister Ann-nicolle. I did not attend the 10-year reunion but I am looking forward to the 20 year. It is so great hearing everyone’s stories.

REUNION NEWS

Hopefully if you plan to attend the Reunion you have sent in your money by now. However, please read below for some good news to those of you still not sure if you can make it................

We've had a couple of questions in reference to the following:

1.) I am not sure if I can make it, can I pay at the door for myself and/or my guest?

Yes. We were not going to accept payment at the door since we had to have a confirmed head count of at least 75 people for Pinewood County Club. We want as many people as possible to make the Reunion & since we have gone well over this number, we can open it up for "Pay At The Door". However, please note that we will only accept CASH at the door - The Cash-At-The-Door price will be $60.00 per person. No checks please.


2.) If I can only attend Friday and/or Sunday do I still need to send in the Reunion Money?

No. The majority of the fees are due to the party @ Pinewood Country Club on Saturday night. All other events are pay as you go. Please come for all the events or for whatever you can make it.

Northshore had their reunion this past weekend and we heard they had a blast! Click on the link to the right & check out their pics from Friday night & Saturday night.

Drama Drama Drama

Hi everyone,

Unfortunatly I will not be able to attend the reunion this time. I have
a lot going on with a new job and a new house. So what has happened in 20
years? If anyone watches soap operas well, they pretty much sum up my
life. DRAMA!















After college at Southeastern Louisiana I moved to Mississippi then
back to New Orleans, then Georgia then back to New Orleans, then Florida then
back to Georgia, then Colorado then back to New Orleans, and now I believe I
have settled in Atlanta (I have stayed here the longest, 6years). Yes, I
took on the exciting career of restaurant management and was transfered all
over the country. I married in 1999 and divorced in 2004, I have an amazing 5
year old little girl and she is now the reason for my existance and my
settling down.


Her father and I are actually trying to work things out between us and possibly marry again. We do love each other very much. I return to Slidell every year at Easter to visit my in-laws. Although I no longer have any family there due to Katrina, I still consider Slidell my home. I am so sorry I will not be able to be there but know I will be thinking of you all.

Starting Over

Hello everyone! I would like to thank Eric Abney for contacting me for the reunion. I miss so many friends I have made in Slidell. I won't be able to make the reunion so I thought I would update you on my life. I met my ex husband when I was 21 in Chicago and was with him for 17 years (married 11 years). Actually our divorce was final yesterday. The divorce was a good thing for everyone. We have a wonderful son together named Andrew who is 9 years old and in 4th grade. I have been a stay at home mom since I became pregnant. After my ex finished his masters degree at Purdue we moved to Florida. Then it was off to Kansas, which is where Andrew was born. Then back to South Florida, where I live now with my son. I just registered for college to get my Associates degree in Occupation Therapy Assisting. I start school next week. I am attaching pictures of my son and I. I hope everyone has a great time at the reunion and I wish I could be there.

Warm Welcomes at Slidell High

We are still receiving updates and loving every minute of hearing what our classmates have been up to. Last night was Northshore 87's class reunion. Check out the link to their blog on the right. Rami has done a great job in organizing the reunion and I know they had a wonderful time. I know it is too early to call her, so I will wait until check-out time and make my call. I can't wait to see pictures and here how much fun they had.

Are you getting excited - our reunion is only a few weeks away. I know it is going to be so much fun. If you have any photos from high school, please send them to us. We would love to post them.

Hello Class of ‘87

I’m not sure if anyone remembers me but I only went to Slidell High my senior year because my dad was transferred to Slidell two weeks before school started. Right after I graduated, my dad was transferred back to Alexandria, LA so I lost touch with everyone. I did want to say that my senior year was my best year ever thanks to the warm welcome I received while I was at Slidell High. After graduating I went to LSUA and met my husband Michael in 1989. He was in the Air Force. We married in June of 1990 and moved to Vandenberg AFB in California and had my first son, Joshua. We moved to Cheyenne Mtn. AS in Colorado three years later and I had my second son, Christopher. We then moved to Goodfellow AFB in Texas and were there for 5 years when we were transferred to Little Rock AFB in Arkansas. We have been here for about two years. My boys are 16 and 12 and we will celebrate our 17th year anniversary on June 30th of this year. Being married to the military has been tough with the deployments, remote tours and the moving around but I would not change it for anything. I have been working Civil Service with the government since December 1991 and enjoying it. I will send pictures as soon as we get an updated one…I just love digital cameras.
