Dobyns Bennett High School Class of 1960

This is a gathering place for Dobyns Bennett High School Class of 1960... We continue to gather once a month at O'Charley's Restaurant on Eastman Road Kingsport Tn, around 20 or more each month. It is really neat that after all these years, we continue to build on our friendships and love to gather together! If you graduated with us, a year or two before us or after us, we would love to see you! I'm sure we would have a lot to talk about! Please consider joining us for First Friday!!

many of you probably subscribe to jeff fleming's newsletter. if not, you will enjoy this eulogy by graham clark about tom coughenour.

it is so well done, and it brings back so many fond memories of tom.

sometime take thirty minutes to listen to it. i've never met graham clark, but i thought he did a fantastic job. there are three parts: the third part is the eulogy.

Bob Reagan


Tom Coughenour was a legendary track coach at Dobyns-Bennett High School. Graham Clark, D-B football coach, and longtime friend, delivered a humorous, yet moving eulogy about a man who touched the lives of thousands of Kingsport student athletes during his career.
