Hello Classmates!

Thanks to the incredible organizing and planning skills of Mary Jo, Jenny and Jean, our 50th reunion came off like clockwork! Nancy and I really enjoyed meeting all of you who came on Friday and Saturday. And we regret not being able to enjoy Jean's brunch on Sunday. We heard that Jay brought some really good salmon!

As many of you know, West Virginia’s state park system is second to none. There are nicely-outfitted cottages at Beech Fork State Park, located approximately 30 minutes south of Huntington via route 10. You will need to reserve early -- October is prime rental time.

Some of you have inquired about 4- and 5-star hotels, resorts, and B&Bs. At the present, there are none in Huntington. There are 3-star hotels in town, but local classmates recommend this newer facility in nearby Barboursville.

Save the dates! OCTOBER 12-13, 2012

The 2012 MU football schedule has been announced, and we have chosen Friday and Saturday, October 12-13, 2012 for our reunion dates. This is a bye week for the football team (meaning there is no football game, either home or away).

We will be announcing hotel arrangements and reunion activities shortly. Stay tuned!

Welcome to the Marshall High Class Of 1962 web site!

Visit http://www.wvencyclopedia.org/articles/1529 for a history of Marshall University. Here's an excerpt from that history about our high school:

"... The centennial celebration in 1937 brought descendants of John Marshall to the campus for the unveiling of a bust of the great chief justice. Two dormitories were built, providing the first campus housing for men, and the Albert Gallatin Jenkins Laboratory School was constructed as a model school for the College of Education."

There is even a book about our school which can be ordered at:
