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!!

SUMMER, HOW QUICKLY YOU ARE FLYING BY!!!
We will be meeting at O'CHARLEY'S on Eastman Road for our First Friday August 2, 2013, since we have heard from O'Charley's that our room is the same except for new wallpaper!  We were told in May that the room would probably be renovated with new high top tables, and so we decided to branch out with lunch at Meadowview Marriott, the Meadows.   It was very nice... we enjoyed it very much.

We are expecting some visitors at our First Friday August from the Class of 1959, and we may need the additional space at O'Charley's. So please mark your calendars, and be there Friday August 2nd to visit with several Class of 1959 members.

What an amazing summer!  The Crowe Coughenour Track and Mural was officially dedicated, and I have to tell you, it takes my breath away each time I see it.  I hope you will be able to visit it someday when you are back in the area.  We had a bit of trouble with Tommy's likeness but the artists listened to our concerns and went back and corrected it.  Such a huge honor!   Thanks to Coach Bob Bingham who originally thought of the mural, and to Principal Hampton and Superintendent Ailshie for
their help getting it funded.  

God bless us everyone!
