Interested in a C/O ’88 Summer Gathering?
For the last 6+ months the buzz was all about a 20 yr class reunion, especially on Facebook. As we found more and more classmates, many of whom were either too far away or already had plans for the weekend we ended up having it, and even from locals that have just been out of touch for a while, there was quite a bit of interest in doing at least one gathering a year if not every few months. So recently there have been a few people asking me about a summer gathering and I made a survey to see how much interest there is in doing something this summer. Please just follow the link below and complete the survey, there are only 7 questions.
UPDATED: Survey is closed, thank you for those that filled it out. Keep an eye out for info on a gathering.
20 year reunion wrap up
It’s all over. The stories were told, the food was eaten, and the pictures were taken. 21 classmates and their guests made it to the Savannah Yacht Club for the final night. The food was once again wonderful, thank you Jason Hagan for arranging two fabulous menus, I think everyone especially enjoyed the steamed oysters along with the Lowcountry Boil, Brunswick stew, BBQ chicken, and peach cobbler.
Classmates present were: Sharon Coleman Waters, Eddie Wilson, Shana Standard,Melissa (Missy) Dove Wynn, Mary Highsmith Wilson,Cheryl Andrews Bland, Dudley New, Jason Hagan, Stephanie Stapleton Wilson, Ari Wajnberg, James Cunningham, Patrick Razuri, Rene Butterfield Herrin, Karla Rahn Cannon, Tim Inglis, John Mesaros, Kellie Grainger Clark, Marc Bigbie, Susan Tutan Gonzales, Nancy Cribbs Anderson, Susann Miller Chalhub, and Cathy Grimes Pursell.
Photos from both nights are up on Facebook with more being added as people get home and settled. I hope everyone enjoyed it and look forward to seeing each other a lot more often than every 10 years. Jason mentioned doing something a few times a year so keep your eyes out for something in the coming months.

20 year reunion, Friday night
Each one of us is a brain…and an athlete…and a basket case…and a princess…and a criminal ~ The Breakfast Club
But last night 15 of us were all together for the first time in 20 years, as a family. We met at 7:00 at the Bull Street Chop House and immediately were drawn into groups with conversations from the past. Spouses were just as much involved too, it was like we never separated. There were Miracle annuals from many different years and classmates flipping through pages wondering, pointing, laughing, and remembering the good times, and even a few regrets about the not so good. There was wonderful food, billed as “heavy appetizers” but were pretty much a meal. Caesar salad, seared ahi tuna, focaccia bread, jambalaya, and roast beef followed by chocolate and cheese cakes.
Classmates present were; David Little, Jason Hagan, Eddie Wilson, James Cunningham, John Mesaros, Nancy Cribbs Anderson, Stephanie Stapleton Wilson, Mary Highsmith Wilson, Susann Miller Chalhub, Marc Bigbie, Cathy Pursell, Sam Newberry, Ari Wajnberg, Patrick Razuri, and Richard Coomer.
Before we knew it, over 3 1/2 hours had passed and everyone started making plans to go out afterward, going home to relieve baby sitters, and well wishing until Saturday night, and we all scattered for the evening to finish making new memories with our classmates.
There are more pictures posted on Facebook, just click the link on the right for Facebook SCP88 Group.

SCPS Alumni “After the Turkey’s Gone Get Together” Report
There was an informal gathering of alumni from Savannah Christian Preparatory School on Saturday November 29, 2008 in the hopes of starting a new after Thanksgiving tradition among us old folks from the 80′s. There were three present though from ’88; Mary Highsmith Wilson, Stephanie Stapleton Wilson, and Marc Bigbie. We had a great time seeing each other and meeting classmates all the way back to c/o ’80. This will hopefully be an ongoing tradition. More pictures can be found at the Facebook Group.
SCPS Alumni “After the Turkey’s Gone Get Together”
Not specific to class of 1988 but there is a gathering planned for the Saturday after Thanksgiving organized by Laura DeYoung Thompson and Louis A Houston. There is a Group created in Facebook as well, I’ve added a link on the right under Links. Here is their exact post;
The first of what we all hope will become an annual event! If your Thanksgiving plans include a trip to Savannah, please join us on Saturday, November 29th for a fun reunion of sorts. Toss that leftover turkey and head down to Coach’s Corner. This is a casual, come when you can event. Eat lunch, catch up with old friends and watch some football! Children are welcome. Dress is casual.
This event is open to all SCPS Alumni, as well as students who attended SCPS! ~ Laura Thompson
Nine SCP ’88 classmates meet for unofficial reunion
On Friday October 3, 2008 an impromptu “reunion” was held at Churchill’s Pub with 9 members of Savannah Christian class of ’88. John Mesaros, Christy Howard, Stephanie Stapleton Wilson, Mary Highsmith Wilson, Beth Albert Monahan, Susan Tutan Gonzales, Cindy Zeigler Barnette, Eddie Wilson, and Jason Hagan, in attendance. Other former classmates were there as well such as Dondra Bass. Mary and Christy planned this last minute gathering the weekend before hoping that a homecoming eve party would have the best chances of getting local Savannians as well as out of towners to come. More pictures may be found on Mary’s Facebook page. Although contacting classmates didn’t start until 6 days out, the alumni site and Facebook helped the planners reach as many people as possible on short notice and bring in many of the locals without prior commitments.
I hope we can continue to have get togethers like this more often without waiting another ten years for a reunion so if there are any MIA members of our class that you may be able to reach please have them contact us through this website or Facebook to be added to the contact list.
