The meal was co-hosted by Shawn Hawkins of Memphis, daughter of the Hawkins.

During the reunion, Ronnie Kennett led a memorial to honor the 18 classmates who have passed away over the years. All the class members enjoyed sharing memories of those they had lost but had not forgotten.

As each classmate left, they wished each other well and planned to meet again in five years. They all agreed they are looking forward to their 60th reunion.
