This is a message that was posted on Facebook by Larry Gillis spouse of Jamie Jackson Gillis:
Jamie had a stroke and is in Rehab at this time. Prognosis for full recovery is very good, but will take time. Overall we are doing well and life is good. Jamie says to give all her friends a verbal hug and kiss. Mentally she is fine, and working hard to get well.

Reunion Information
The reunion is fast approaching. . . it starts October 8 just 2 weeks from today.

After the parade we will be going to Heritage Park for a Tailgate party before the Homecoming Football game which begins @ 7:30 pm. We will be cooking up hot dogs, hamburgers and Smoked Sausages. We have had a donation of $50.00 to help with the cost of the food. Someone will bringing chili, nachos and sauerkraut. We are asking that iems for the Silent Auction be brought to the Tailgate Party. They will be on display so that we can get an idea of what there will be to bid on. PLEASE have your name on the item that you donate.
After the football game, everyone is invited to come to the home of Jim and Marty (Vaughn) Renard. The address is 930 Maxine in Piggott. We will be having refreshments and more time to visit.
Decorating of the Community Center will begin @ 9:00 am on Saturday. We will need some guys to set up tables and to run errands. We have lots of posters to put up and scrap books to set out. We also will need help putting out the Silent Auction Items and getting the bidding sheets arranged. The greeting table will need to be arranged so that it will run smoothly as classmates arrive. We also need volunteers to greet classmates after they enter the gym to let them know what needs their immediate attention, i.e. picture taking, silent auction and quilt dispay/raffle. After decorating the gym, we might want to all have lunch together at the Piggott Diner. . they have a large room that we can all sit in together.
Someone will be at the Community Center as early as 3:00pm to greet early birds who come. Official arriving time is 4:00 pm. We are having Hog Wild cater the meal. We will have a choice of Pork Steak, Pulled Pork or Chicken. They have done so well with selling BBQ out of a trailer in Piggott, that they have built a dine-in area which should be open by the reunion week end. They have GOOD food and hopefully everyone will be happy of our choice of caterers. We should be able to eat around 6:00 pm.
We hope that everyone enjoys the reunion and many old friendships are rekindled. There are 10 classmates on the list to attend who were not able to be here for the last reunion. For those of you who have not returned your questionnaire, please do so as soon as possible even if you are not going to come. We are trying to get all the information together so that we can have a copy for everyone who attends.

Marty,
I'm not recalling the means to post to the blog, but thought that there were classmates of ours who live out of town who might like to know that these fathers of some of the people that attended PHS during the same years that we did had passed away. Some played football with them & some were in FFA with them. Note that they were bros. who died 10 days apart. Would you please post to the blog? Thanks!

A bit of information received by e-mail.
Gas rationing in the 70's worked even though we grumbled about it. It might even have been good for us! Are you aware that the Saudis are boycotting American products? In addition, they are gouging us on oil prices. Shouldn't we return the favor? Can't we take control of our own destiny and let these giant oil importers know who REALLY generates their profits, their livings? How about leaving American Dollars in America and reduce the import/export deficit?
An appealing remedy might be to boycott their GAS. Every time you fill up your car you can avoid putting more money into the coffers of Saudi Arabia . Just purchase gas from companies that don't import their oil from the Saudis.
Nothing is more frustrating than the feeling that every time I fill up my tank, I'm sending my money to people who I get the impression want me, my family and my friends dead. The following gas companies import Middle Eastern oil:
Shell..................................... 205,742,000 barrels
Chevron/Texaco...................... 144,332,000 barrels
Exxon /Mobil......................... 130,082,000 barrels
Marathon/Speedway.............. 117,740,000 barrels
Amoco................................... 62,231,000 barrels
And CITGO oil is imported from Venezuela by Dictator Hugo Chavez who hates America and openly avows our economic destruction! (We pay Chavez's regime nearly $10 Billion per year in oil revenues!)
The U.S. currently imports 5,517,000 barrels of crude oil per day from OPEC. If you do the math at $100 per barrel, that's over $550 million PER DAY ($200 BILLION per year!) handed over to OPEC, many of whose members are our confirmed enemies!!!!! It won't stop here - oil prices could go to $200 a barrel or higher if we keep buying their product.
Here are some large companies that do not import Middle Eastern oil:
Sunoco..........................0 barrels Conoco..........................0 barrels ASinclair......................0 barrels P / Phillips.................. 0 barrels Hess...............................0 barrels ARC0..............................0 barrels
Maverick........................0 barrels Flying J..........................0 barrels Valero............................0 barrels
Murphy Oil USA *.........0 barrels
*Sold at Wal-Mart , gas is from South Arkansas and fully USA owned and produced.
*Not only that but they give scholarships to all children in their town who finish high school and are legal US citizens.. All of this information is available from the U.S. Department of Energy and each company is required to state where they g et their oil and how much they are importing.
But to have a real impact, we need to reach literally millions of gas buyers. With the help of the intern et , it's really simple to do. Now, don't wimp out at this point.....keep reading and I'll explain how simple it is to reach millions of people!!
I'm sending this note to about thirty people. If each of you send it to at only ten more (30 x 10 = 300)....and those 300 send it to at least ten more (300 x 10 = 3,000)....and so on, by the time the message reaches the sixth generation of people, we will have reached over THREE MILLION consumers!!!!!!!
If those three million get excited and pass this on to ten friends each, then 30 million people will have been contacted! If it goes one level further, you guessed it...THREE HUNDRED MILLION PEOPLE-the entire population of the United States of America !!!!

"I have the shingles and they hurt like hell"
"Left stomach and back"
This is from the last e-mail that I received from Pam about 7:30 p.m. Wed. eve.
"Well I am still at the office but not for long the pain pill is looking pretty good now….this is worse than when I broke my back… I have had them a week today and they still hurt as bad as the 1st day. They are square like blisters in small and large sizes …they look just like the pictures if you google them… I guess getting old is going to try to get the best of me but I think that the reason I got them is because of the stress and worry about my mom…she has Alzheimer's and is trying to convince everyone that she is not sick….. so as to how long they will last I do not know..... got to get back to work my phone is ringing."
I believe that she would like to hear from all of you.

Scholarship/Reunion
It is time again to start planning for our annual scholarships. We have been generous the last 4 years and have given at least 3 scholarships per year. We have had success with our yard sale fundraiser, but have decided not to have one in the spring. The only other fund raiser that we have going is mug sales which will not pick up until the reunions this summer.
We are asking for contributions from class members this year so that we can continue helping graduating seniors of Piggott High School. Please send your contribution to Linda Wells, 14 CR 538, Greenway AR 72430 by April 15. We will decide who receives a scholarship on May 1 and will need to know how many we can give this year. Please consider giving generously.
We are planning an auction as a fund raiser during the reunion. Linda Wells has put together an AWESOME quilt that will be auctioned. We would like others to participate by donating items that can be auctioned. These items need to be brought to the tailgate party or given to a local classmate before that time. It is imperative that we have items that can be auctioned to raise scholarship monies.
The date of our reunion this year is Homecoming week end, October 8 -9. We are hoping to be able to participate in the Homecoming Parade before going to our Tailgate Party. Those of you who were there last year know that there was not enough time to visit with everyone. We will have an earlier starting time for the Tailgate Party this year!
We would like to have more classmates attending than 5 years ago. Please mark your calendars for October 8-9!
