Our NEJ Class of 1974 had an amazing 50 year High School Reunion. It was held at The Laurel Country Club. Our Classmate Richard Allred entertained us with some amazing music. Robin Robertson did a wonderful job organizing everything from a Prayer Luncheon, Dinner at Charlie’s Catfish, Homecoming Game Night and Reunion. A few classmates who had planned to attend couldn’t, due to Hurricane Helene. Thankfully they were ok. I also want to add that our NEJ class of 1974 has 5 Ministers, which I believe include one spouse. That’s awesome! ❤️. Sharing a few photos of events in no particular order.

Sorry, I failed to send this out sooner. Our Dear Classmate Nancy Curry Beeson passed away July 7th, or during the early morning of the 8th. She had fought cancer, and beat it. It’s my understanding that she passed unexpectedly from heart issues. Please keep her husband Andy in your prayers. Please see message from Robin below. Jan

Good afternoon,
I am sad to share that our classmate, Nancy Curry Beeson passed away at Forrest General Hospital in Hattiesburg.

It has been suggested that our class purchase Gideon Bibles to honor Nancy.
Each person who chooses to donate should send a check for the amount donated (in increments of $5.00) and in the “for” section on the bottom left hand side of your check, write in Nancy’s name. That way, the Gideon’s will know that it is for Nancy.

Here is the address that you may use to send your check:

Laurel North Camp Gideons,
P.O. Box. 1504
Laurel, MS 39441.

The Bible’s are $5 each.

Thank you,
Robin
