This website has kept me up on
the great memories I had with my fellow classmates as well as the current
game schedules and new developments. It's been a great place to come
and find out about upcoming reunions as well as to know the ones we've
unfortunately lost, but will remember. Thanks again for all of your
work to continue to keep this the center of "Kewpie" communication!

I found two members of my class
on your website last winter and e-mailed them. We all met together in Columbia
in June and caught up on news for a soft drink. It would not have been
possible without your website. 37 years is a long time, but we had a great
time connecting.

I only went to Hickman for sophomore
and junior year, and went to Rock Bridge in my senior year, the first year
it opened in the 1973-74 academic year. I was a bit of an outsider,
but have always felt curious about what happened to the people I grew up
with. I moved to Minnesota about 30 years ago. Thank you Charley.
You are a true historian and I deeply appreciate your painstaking efforts
to satisfy that curiosity.

Well, Charley, who ever you are,
it was nice of you ( even sweet of you ) to acknowledge my birthday.
My years at Hickman were brief, and not so treasured, since I would rather
have been in Fort Worth where it had been lots more fun, mainly because
I was sort of focused on boys and there were so many more in Texas, but
it got me through high school and on to Stephens, where I learned about
learning. For me, it was kind of embarrasing to be a Kewpie.
Somehow, I never embraced the idea. But for those of you for whom
HHS was THE high school, I appreciate the sentiment.

Charley has done a wonderful job
with this webpage. Through it, I have been able to keep in touch
with friends from the "old days". The tie the webpage has provided
to my classmates has helped to keep me in touch with my past and helps
to guide me in the future. Excellent job.

1985
Charley, I don't know you but this
is great. Thank you. It brought back a flood of memories for
me personally. I'm sorry to hear about your loss. The dedication
isn't clear if you were married, but it is clear you were very close.
It looks like you've found a good creative outlet. Very nice.
I've never been to a reunion, but thanks to your web site, travel arrangements
permitting, I will probably attend the next one.
2006-01-11 - Marjorie Lines - Class

Great job with the web site! Great
45th pictures for the class of 1959!!!!Absolutely perfect music! I loved
it all, but who in the **** are all those people?
2006-01-11 - Jerry Koch - Class

The reunion layout with the slide
show was great.

I find this site an answer to a
prayer. I no longer live in Missouri and wanted to get into contact with
some old friends. This site has helped me to do that and I'm so greatful!!
Thank you, Charlie!!!

Charlie, I really appreciate what
you have done and are doing. I have enjoyed reviewing all the songs,
slideshows etc. not only from my years but my brothers, Willis and
Ken. Thanks.

Hi Charles Taylor Blackmore,
{That’s a nice picture of you in the HHS 1963 yearbook.
I just wanted to tell you that I think what you’ve done with the Hickman
High School web site is very impressive. I hope that the people
who benefit from your efforts appreciate all the work it took to do what
you’ve accomplished. And that’s from one Systems Analyst to another.}
Thanks to you, I found (and now have a printout of) my
mother’s Senior Picture from HHS. That picture didn’t exist in my
family album until today. Thank you so much!
This all started because I ran across an “old” picture
in a box in my garage today. It took a minute, but then I realized
it must be a picture taken at my mother’s 25th Hickman High School Reunion.
I’d never seen it before, but I remembered that about the same time I graduated
from Paris High School (1958), my mother planned for weeks to go to her
25th HHS reunion. She came back delighted that she’d gone.
Everyone had changed, but they were all better friends than they had been
in high school. I did a count, and (barring miscounts), 56 of the
original 172 classmates attended.
My mother [Ruth (Marie) Shaw - “Red”] was born in May
1914, graduated from HHS in 1933, married in Feb 1939 [becoming Ruth (Shaw)
Wood, after marrying Charles Thomas Wood] gave birth to me [Thomas Shaw
Wood] in Sep 1940, attended her 25th HHS Reunion in 1958, and died of complications
from diabetes in Oct 1970, at age 56. Of
course there’s a whole lot more to her life than that, but that’s enough
for now. She’s the woman in the Reunion picture fifth from the right,
on the next-to-back row, wearing a necklace. I also marked the margins
of the picture with four black lines – line up the left and right marks
to define the vertical location, and the top and bottom lines to define
the horizontal location. The woman in the crosshairs is my mother.
I’ve attached both my mother’s Senior picture from 1933
(thanks to you), and the picture of her 25th Hickman High School
Reunion in 1958 (for you).
Thanks for doing what you’re doing, and for talking with
me this afternoon.
Tom Wood
PS My mother’s older sister, Mildred Shaw, Class of 1927,
also had the nickname “Red.”
