The proud class of Charlotte Amalie High school class of 1989 marched across the stage at Reichold Center for the Arts on June 18, 1989. The chorus in our class song said it all "we had the times of our lives". The class song was written by classmate Justin Petty. The title "Its Time to Say Goodbye" an up beat class song to the tune of the Dirty Dancing movie sound track. According to the class song we were to become Engineers and Doctors, maybe Presidents and Lawyers in due time. I am pleased to announced we have accomplished all that had been expected of us and more.
Some of us have become Doctors, Engineers,Teachers and Nurses. We are CEO's of our own companies, D.J personalities, Accountants and Computer Analysts. We have been raising our families to become productive citizens of society as our parents taught us to become. We have weathered many storms and over came series of obstacles. We have traveled war paths from Afghanistan to Iraq. We have settled throughout the islands and has crossed continents in a quest for our certificates, diplomas, and degrees. We have remained positive, steadfast, and persevered.
Not only have we journey through time. We are continuing the journey. True to our class motto, "Among the stars we will continue to shine as the class of '89 takes it step in time". In celebration of our 20th Reunion we would like to take this time to invite you to come along for this great passage. We will be kicking off our celebration with a seven day cruise along the Southern Caribbean. Our highlighted port would be the day in ST.Thomas as we bring it back to the place where it all began.
