Some Stuff I Wrote and Some Stuff I Didn't (2011) H. Morris Williams

Teresa Wainwright was our valedictorian and I was
salutatorian. After graduation, we went off our separate ways,

and we Ve had one class reunion since we graduated. I think it
was our tenth.

A lot of water has rushed under the bridge. Jeffrey Duren was
killed in a work-related accident, and, as far as I know that is the
only member of our class who is deceased.

Good memories. Good years.

I think the school started one more school year and then closed.

Today, Columbia County owns the property on Lake Jeffrey Road

where the school was located, and there are only some palms
that we planted there to let you know that, once, Lake City
Academy was located there.
