Remember

Remember the souls of those who’ve passed – 
Brave men and women who breathed their last
On seas of battle, in skies of war, 
On every blood-soaked field and shore.
Their voices cry to us from where they lie –
“It wasn’t my goal that day to die.
But my life was mine.  It was mine to give,
And I gave it up so that others could live.
I’d give it again if that’s what it cost
To keep your freedoms from being lost.”
Remember the souls of those who sleep –
The ones who came home, but their wounds ran deep.
On seas of battle, in skies of war, 
On every blood-soaked field and shore –
The things they endured and the things they saw
Left them empty or left them raw.
Some overcame, but all of these brave
Carried haunting memories to the grave.
Remember them all.  Give these honored their due.
The things that they did? They were done for you.

🐅🐅BAHS Class of 75🐅🐅

After much consideration, the Reunion Planning Committee has made the difficult decision to cancel this years class reunion.  We have received many notes regarding concern over CV-19 and the recent resurgence.  Due to COVID concern and the possibility of limits being put on venues, we determined a decision needed to be made.

Oh a brighter note, we have managed to secure dates for our 46th Class Reunion, May 21 & 22, 2021!  Specifics for our 46th reunion will be the same as the reunion we had planned for next month.  Our Friday night event will be held at the BA Farmers Market and Saturday night will be at Stokely’s Event Center.  More details on these events to come as time approaches.

For those who have paid, we can hold or refund you deposits.  The price for next years reunion will remain the same as this year.

Stay healthy......we look forward to seeing everyone next May!  ❤️
