Woody Parrish sent word to us by email that his good friend and one of our classmates, Dewayne Connor, passed away recently. I got to talk to Woody on the phone and asked him to send anything else he could think of that we could add to what he has already sent. When he does I will add it for your interest. Woody is a Physicians Assistant in one hospital and works the E. R. of another hospital. He lives in Moultrie, GA. I did not know either Dewayne or Woody well but I do remember them. I have to tell you that it was a great pleasure and a stong nostalgic feeling talking with Woody on the phone. Below is what Woody sent us.

"Just thought I would let you guys know that we lost a classmate recently. My best friend, DeWayne Connor, lost his nearly two year battle with cancer. I will miss him. He lived in Jacksonville, Florida with his wonderful wife Betty. They were great for one another and he loved her dearly. DeWayne had a thriving sign business in Jacksonvlle and just loved life to the fullest. We always kept in contact and always supported one another when there seemed to be no other person there that cared or understood our struggles over the years. We graduated from MHS in January of 1973 to attend radio broadcasting school because we couldn't wear our hair long. Crazy, huh? He loved his parents and always respected them. We all will miss him. Please place him in the memoriam if possible. It would mean alot to me.

Thanks,
Woody Parrish"
