He also provided fantastic DJ services for the informal Friday night get-together in 2005. Check out his MySpace website: www.myspace.com/trippwest Gerald did a fantiastic job of providing all of the food for the event. Everything was delicious, and plenty for everyone. Thanks, Gerald! The event was held out in the beautiful Red Gates Ampitheatre under a beautiful full moon. Weather was somewhat cool and breezy, but mostly hot. Some have suggested scheduling future events in the Fall when its a little cooler. Red Gate Farms was a perfect location. Lots of space, and a new covered screened porch area! Thank you to the Smiths for generously providing this fun and convenient location. Everyone dressed cool, comfortable, and casual - and there was a lot of dancing and laughing. It was a fun night. 
There was a beautiful rainbow at Red Gate Farms as our 40th Reunion Event began! View more pictures in the Photos Area.

Thanks again to Ricky Smith! The combined SHS - HVJ event turned out to be a really great success. There was more food, more to drink, more people, and MORE FUN! The Oysters were totally fantastic - some said they were the best ever! It was a beautiful cool sunny afternoon which turned into a magical star-filled evening. Be sure to check out the photos in the Photo Section! According to Mark Thomas, the idea for the joint SHS/ Jenkins oyster roast was a combined effort of Ricky Smith, Mark Thomas, Glenn Braddy and Mike Fogarty. Glenn , Mike, Ricky and Mark met at Spankys and ironed out generalities...and took a blood oath that they would do it and pay for it together...regardless of who showed up! They did meet one more time at Ricky`s for specifics and then it was on. Mark said, "Well, we`d have considered it a success if we`d had four people!" There was no confirmed count, but it was estimated that about 120 people showed up. Regarding each school's attendance, it was close to evenly didvided. SHS - about 55% HVJ - about 45% Marion brought hot dogs, two dips, chips, and brownies, with Cokes and Sprite. Bill Minz from Jenkins brought a chopped up Boston butt with buns, oysters, and keg of beer Many people brought their own drinks and supplies. Ricky Smith had a great fire going!
