RHHS Class of 1981 - Bearcats

Hey everyone, Happy New Year!

Just a heads up: classmates are gathering at Friendly Billiards in Rock Hill this Friday, January 19th, at 6:30 PM. Join us if you can!

Live music from "Rumor Mill", a band duo, starts at 8 PM, so it's perfect time for catching up beforehand.

Patrick Neely will also be there, visiting after a family loss. Our condolences to Pat and his family.

It'd be great to reconnect, so let us know if you're coming by commenting below!

Paul will get there early and reserve seats.

See you there!

Hey Bearcats! Sandy McCraven is here until Saturday morning. She and Big Paul are having lunch tomorrow (9/29 12:30pm) at Friendly Billiards. If you’re available, drop in!

There are four Class of 1981 Bearcats in this photo. Can you identify them?

CORRECTION: There are five (5) 81 Bearcats in the photo.

Enjoyed an unexpected visit from Michelle (Williams) and Ted Spitz.

They are in town for Ted’s 50th Class of 1973 combined TroCat (Northwestern and Rock Hill) reunion.

Their daughter Stephanie has developed and designed a unique line of fashionable clothing for individuals with medical needs. She was featured in the news segment below:

This year is bigger, more balloons and new vendors like Kendrick Line Designs.
“All of the clothing that you see has some component of adaptability,” said Stephanie Spitz, the founder of Kendrick Line Designs.

Thanks for stopping by Michelle, always good to see an 81 Bearcat!

This message comes from Thomas Horton.

As many of you have heard Sandy, (Lambert) Horton was involved in an accident earlier this week during the rain storms.

She will be in the hospital for a little while with a painful few weeks ahead with rib and pelvic injuries.

So continue to remember her in your thoughts and prayers as she recovers.

As we focus on recovery, we request no visitors at this time. We appreciate your understanding and prayers.

We only had a few hours' notice, but it was so great to see everyone and catch up.

Also good to have “The Legend” Coach Moose Wallace as well.

Grateful for the friendships we’ve carried through the years amongst the Class of 1981.

Word has it there's an informal gathering of several 81 classmates tonight (8/24) at Friendly Billiards 1037 Camden Ave, Rock Hill, SC 29732.

If you’re in the area, drop by. 7:30ish or so.

Paul and Chip will save a spot for you?

Please join us in celebrating Ken Spears passing on to his eternal life in Heaven.

Saturday August 26. 3-5pm

The Celebration will be held at the banquet hall Ken built in Cherry Park Centre in Rock Hill near planet fitness.

Our Goal is to hear more laughter than we see tears. We’d love for you to share stories/experiences with him, if you feel comfortable.

Casual attire.

Update:
As shared from Becky McClellan this morning regarding Moon.

Copied:

“Copying and pasting to everyone...I cannot thank everyone enough for the prayers. The doctor came in this morning and said he's done a complete 360. He told me to forget what he said yesterday. Our God is amazing and there were a lot of prayers in this room yesterday and God answered. They will continue to take you off this last antibiotic and then try to get him up moving and sometime today will move him into a regular room so he can finish his meds. I am assuming he will probably get home sometime tomorrow. I will keep everyone posted but please keep the prayers coming.”

Our classmate, David “Moon” McClellan has been battling a recent diagnosis of cancer, and his condition has worsened in recent days.

Becky has given permission for this post and asks for your continued thoughts and prayers during this time.

Saw a Bearcat this morning! Greg Mangum who lives in Texas, is here working through his mother’s affairs after her passing. As always, good to see a Bearcat of 1981.

Oh, today we graduated 42 years ago.

In Greenville and bumped into this classmate who lives in Anderson.

As always, good to see a Bearcat in the wild. Todd Price

I haven’t seen this classmate in 42+ years.

Our thoughts and prayers go out to the family of our classmate Bennet Massey.
