Dixie Flyers - Class of '89 High School Reunion


It was a fantastic weekend. Randy flew down to Vegas and met up with his sister Carrie and her family for lunch before heading up to St. George.

In high school Randy had a Gremlin that caught fire in the McDonald's drive through, 20 years later Mr. Dixie pulled up in a smokin hot rental, a Geo with push locks. It's all about the image.

Thanks bunches Jason and Cami for having Randy at your place. Scott, thanks for giving Randy your physical therapist opinion on his pinkie that now has arthritis from being busted 20 years ago during high school football. Good friends let you bum a place to stay and give you some advice, thanks!

Class of '89 ..... twenty years later! Voted "Cutest Smile" in 1989 is smiling on the back row, next to the D.
Randy was stoked to find out a basketball game had been set up with their formal rival, PineView who was also holding their 20th reunion at the same time.
Matching jersies, a crowd, an announcer calling out their plays, it was totally reliving the high school dream.
The game started out with a few pleasantries, "hey, good to see ya," type of stuff then the exhibition got competitive. PineView came out with a strong lead in the first half, but then Dixie slammed their rival PineView by 29 points and bragging rights for the next 20 years! Randy had the second highest score, 18 points. Way to go Flyers!

The Team - Scott, Jason, Kelly, KC, Randy, Bill, front row, Jimmy, Wade, Jason
Scott, Jill, Marianne, Randy, Shawn (holding his little girl they recently adopted from China) at Paula's restaurant, getting ready for a little mexican cuisine. Afterward a stop at Frost Top, the happening place on the Boulevard where they stayed late up late talking and chatting about stuff like the classmate that won the coveted title Mr. Gay Utah and families and how life did and didn't turn out the way they thought it would. They didn't want the night to end. After Frost Top closed, they zipped up to the "D" to get that Dixie feel on the red rocks.
High School Friends -
Thanks to all the ladies sitting at Randy's table because they read all the family blogs and profile updates so they aced the quiz on "what are they doing now" trivia game and scored gift cards to Home Depot.
Casey, senior class president, opened up the evening dinner by building on all the buzz and talk that Randy hadn't changed a bit since high school, in fact he looked so young that many people commented, "hey, where is your daddy boy?"
He had a total blast!
