02/04/04 Sorry I missed the Reunion. BROTHER, do I
remember Miss Hamil. That lady scared the
bejesus out of me. Don't want to offend anyone,
but I think she was psychotic. Turned me off of
school in general for the next few years.
Finally got my act back together in college.
You may have known me as Sanford, of Butch. I
too had Miss Korber for first grade and Miss Zuber
for second. Or was it the other way
around? If you plan another get-together, let
me know. Massey Sanford Lambard, Glen Iris '55, mhlambard@gulftel.com
10/05/03 I wish I had known about the Glen Iris
reunion. I graduated in 1963 and have lost
touch with everybody. I would love to hear from
Brenda Simmons, Libby Massey, John or
"Dude" Stewart, or any other classmates
from our years there - 1955-1963. Mary Jane Gilliam

02/22/02 Hi all, I was so surprised to find this
site, actually it was recommended to me by a friend
who saw my picture in the class photo. Then I saw the
comments from Mike McClellan (HI MIKE, IT'S BEEN A
LONG TIME!) I have such fond memories of Glen Iris, I
especially remember Miss Hamil and how she drove up
every day in that old black car and parked in the
same spot. I was always early to school so she would
get me to go up to her room and help her with
preparation, getting the desks lined up, etc. God
help us if anyone forgot to bring a hankerchief to
class! My sister Sarah and I attended Glen Iris 1st -
8th grade. We lived on 19th ave and walked to school
every day, stopping at the store to get snacks on the
way home. Our family moved to Pensacola when I was 16
so I missed out on graduating from Ramsay, from Glen
Iris I do remember Mike McClellan, Bob Williams,
Ronnie Tisdale, MIke Moon but have not seen them
since the Glen Iris days. Hopefully I can make the
next reunion! Tim Delony, Glen Iris '62, tim_delony@bio-rad.com
10/24/01 Wasn't the reunion wonderful!! I just
wish we could find some more of those folks that went
on to John Carroll from Glen Iris. Does anyone know
what happened to Maria and Joe Barranco? Walking the
halls brought back so many good memories. I think
everyone stood in awe when they entered Ms. Hamil's
room. What a wonderful lady and what a positive
influence on all of us! Let's do it again and find
more of those folks next time. - Shelia Hogeland

10/21/01 I enjoyed the October reunion very much.
Many thanks to all who worked so hard on it. Would
love to get together again. - Glen_Iris 1961 - This
is a correction. I goofed on the year that I
graduated from Glen Iris. I had a senior moment OKAY!

10/21/01 The reunion was marvelous. My
congratulations to everyone ont the planning
committee - the pictures were great! Although I
attended Glen Iris for one semester only in the
eighth grade, I have wonderful memoties of friends
that will be with me forever, and being in Miss
Hamil's class is an experience I treasure. I will
have to add that Glen Iris hold's very precious
memories for my mother, Ruth McNutt. She hasn't
stopped talking about how special the reunion was and
what wonderful memories she has of her Glen Iris
students; you were all so dear to her. Thank you all
for all that you were and are. After leaving
Birmingham, mother taught at Seminole Junior High
School in Pinellas Co. in Florida for 18 years - as
guidance counselor then as dean - but she will always
have special memories of Glen Iris and her students
there! Fondest wishes to you all! Edna McNutt

10/18/01 The Glen Iris Reunion was a success! Over
100 smiling faces packed into a tiny school
cafeteria...giggles....old photos.....friendships
renewed......new friends made......seeing the
hallowed halls and classrooms .....running your
fingers over the same old wood as when we were mere
babies ....let's do it again! (special thanks to the
newest members of the Glen gang- David and Sara
Meadows) - Mike McClellan, Glen_Iris '62, mikemc@telepak.net
[David actually went to Avondale.]
10/17/01 It was great touring the school and
seeing so many classes represented Friday night. Jo
Ann & Don Baker and I took Mr. Palmetter a check
today for $1,018.01; hopefully he can use it to move
the flag pole back to the sun dial. Thanks to all who
participated and made it possible to give the school
this money. We told him that he hasn't heard the last
from the Alumni Association so look for more info
later on future plans. He wanted us to tell him more
about Miss Hamil. He said that people were hanging
out around her room Friday night like it was some
kind of shrine. :) I guess we all have fond memories
of the days spent in that room. David, thanks to you
too for allowing us to be part of this web site. -

10/15/01 Wish we had done this 10 years ago, we
might have seen more of our teachers. Never the less,
I had a great time seeing friends I have not seen in
35-40 years. Glen Iris has not changed and I hope it
never changes. I hope we can do this again and I wish
all well. Jimile Shunnarah, Glen_Iris, '61, tabreez@aol.com
10/12/01 What a crowd! Major cudos to the
orgainzers! David
