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!!

Jan Haney Visit
Had such a good time today visiting my friend, Jan Haney this morning. She coached cross country at Morristown West High School before her stroke. She once told me that she wanted to be a coach like Tommy. She told me she picked his brain about coaching ... something must have clicked. Her teams won FOUR state championships!! Two of those were back to back which is really difficult. Jan is tough, and she is working hard to recuperate.
We had such a good visit, remembering some good times. She remarked that several of her Morristown West cross country runners are running (or have run) at King College in Bristol.
Kendra Sokol from Dobyns-Bennett Cross Country is running there now.
Jan, you look great! Keep on keeping on!!
