Comments, observations, revelations, feelings, and experiences....tell us what Hartwell 2000 meant to you!!!!
Does anyone have a list of Hartwell attendees?? I'd really like to know who was there. Really wish I'd known about it since I live half an hour from there (sigh).
i hate u
hi my last name is hartwell cool huh pretty awsome a/s/l peace
Patty - do you have videos of the 2000 Hartwell, or are you talking about Tony & Amy's 1999 tape that I sent you a copy of? If you have a tape of 2000, I'd be happy to send you money to get a copy. What I think would be really cool for the future, however, is to get the whole kegger show on tape. -Woodman
Just checking to see if you all were still paying attention
Yep only three and I was the first....
Woody, as far as regular videos go, I tried last year to get them to people for $5 bucks a tape for shipping and tapes. Only about 3 people responded. Unfortunately.... Hugs, Savi
WHOA...go AV geeks of America!!!
Woody that "kid" aka the "AV geek" has gone on to form a multi-billion $ "Dot Com" corporation!
Yes - the videos rocked. Thanks Beth. I really think we need to find someone who will tape the whole show next year, and then we need to find an organized way of getting copies to everyone. Where's that kid who used to do the A/V stuff in high school?
Woody
Dear Beth,
Thanks for sharing the videos! They're great!
Jeff
How much longer do we have to wait until the next Hartwell? Well, as of October 17, in weeks, it's 31 weeks. However, that's just too damn long, so let's shave some time off -- shall we? Deduct the following weeks: This week, because it is here, the week before Halloween, the week of Thanksgiving, the week Christmas, the week of New Year's, the week of Easter, the week of your birthday, the week before the Lake Hartwell gathering, and oh hell, add another week, let's say the week before the week of Hartwell, oh what the hell, take off the first three weeks of in May since we will all be getting packed and making last-minute arrangements, so that makes the official countdown to Lake Hartwell at 21 weeks. Woo hoo! HQ
Hi Karen,
Not too many people at Hartwell are from the 60's era, although everyone is welcome. It would be great if a bunch of folks from the 60's showed up. You could teach us youngn's how to party <grin> Here's some sites you might use to track down class mates:

There are some other sites on the links page. Find some friends, rent a house or two (see the Hartwell 2001 info. link) and come to the party. Its a blast.

I am class of 64; are the Hartwell folks from this area? I live in Stockbridge, Ga and work at HQ, First Army, here at Ft Gillem, Ga....w 404 362-3095 Karen Bradshaw.....
I was just wondering...How much longer do we have to wait until the next Hartwell?
Just wanted to thank Beth Proctor for the videos of Hartwell - brilliant to be able to catch the feeling of what it was like - to be able to see and hear it after all these months - a real treat!!! ..... Listening to Woody's song made me smile - what talent!!! - I keep finding myself humming away with a grin on my face - which is nice! Thanks again for bringing to life good memories!!!
Linda....take our love and prayers with you to Heaven,... LH won't be the same without you,..but then again I'd bet you'll be there just the same.
::::silently laying Linda's tambourine on the stage:::
Prost, Songbird. You'll always be the coolest Mandarinette ever!
I agree completely....Hartwell just takes too long to come around again! We need two reuinions a year..this one time thing is just not enough!!
I need another Hartwell experience. That warm, fuzzy, great feeling is rubbing off. My Family is really breaking me down and I am in desperate need of that great aroma therapy (Hartwell Experience).......Take ME away before I really loose it. :~{
Actually if I am not mistaken....Cal ate all the ribs that were left...she wanted meat...and robbed the campfire of all their ribs. As for the keg...its always tapped out and ready!!
Hey, did anybody see where Dennis put those extra ribs? I'm getting hungry again. Any beer left in the keg?
Naughty parts suberbly aroused by those dexterous tongues, methinks there is a corresponding snapshot...

Hartwell was and is a feeling of unexplained understanding and awareness. A "whole" friendship that no person can relate to unless they are one of us. And I think at times, we dont even understand why we have this love and affection for one another. But its real and genuine and we cant live without it....we almost breathe for each other, so to speak. How thankful I am that I am one of the lucky ones...to treasure such a love with all of you to carry through my days and nights. When all else fails...I know I can come to my frankfurt family, and they will be there...every time!! Thankyou all for being my friends.....my family...my treasure that some day I will die with...the treasure in the heart....that no one can take away from me. Hartwell...is a place of love and understanding and complete acceptance.
HQ, it's not just you, I keep looking at them over and over. I guess it is just our longing to hurry the year along until we can be there again. It was so wonderful that we can't bear the wait until we get back to the Lake! Hugs, Savita
Just perused the Hartwell pics, for the umpteenth time. Is it just me? I mean, they aren't our houses, we don't live there, take me out of JoAnne Circle or whatever the name of the street is that my house was on and I'm lost, but damn, I look at those pics and I get homesick. Hartwell isn't a place that we go to once a year, it's not a place we simply visit. To me, it has come to represent home, a comfortable place -- a place of warm fuzzies, drunken nights, laughs, nekkidness, honest hugs, honest kisses, honest words, [someone care to add to the list?] I want to be there. Forty-god-knows-how-many-more-weeks is too long. Love, FKKHQ
What a rip off....I thought for sure those were some skinny dipping pics that would excite us all!! Nice try....!
I am simply with certain activities or at certain places gladly naked....FKKminion
Ah ha, ha ha, that's great. Really it is. You soooo have a point minion. Now excuse me while I go slip Bryan a $20 so he doesn't rat me out to my parents. (-:
as if Hannah and Callie would have let us send them back to the house...Ha!
and really, Joe and I were just giggling over what we would tell my mom ( the TEACHER )if the girls ratted us out to my parents. They know what we were doing at Hartwell, and it's only a matter of time before they tell my parents!
We can get a touch rowdy at times, to be sure. During the day is a good time for the kids. Hmm...perhaps an initiation ceremony for those who reach a certain age....we could start with the Prez's boys...
I don't know. I enjoyed exposing my son to Frankfurters during the more quiet hours of the day, and early evening, then sending him back to the house while the adults enjoyed some crazy, unadulterated good times. I see no hipocracy in exposing him to a very important part of my life, my history, my friends. Such exposure is imporant, I think, for him to understand his mother more completely, and maybe widen his circle of friends also. If that means missing a few days of school, so be it -- he'll survive. Of course, the day he decide he doesn't want to come anymore, well, I won't protest. (-: HQ
Yeah, come on, I wanna see them girls swimming nude along side us perfectly honest and upstanding forty year old horn dogs! LOL!!!!! (I think you made the wise choice).
they gotta learn sometime.....and what better place, with better people?? <g>
Aside from the hypocrisy, it was a matter of principle! :-)
Hypothetical explanation to my mother, a teacher, as to why we wouldn't let the girls skip school and come to Hartwell, where we would have disallowed them the same enjoyments we indulged in, sometimes overly...
to our beloved Scribe, David Bradley, the most blessed of birthday wishes! I rejoice the day you came into my life! I love you! Sherry
Now see, if I knew who said that, I'd know if it was a compliment or a slap. I'm going to pretend it was Yura 'till I hear different <grin>
Woodman
Woody...you're as good at English as I am in math..
Oh, oh. Oops. :-)
Yeah, I'm not signing anything either. Then people would know who made all the off color, sexist, and downright disturbing entries in this and other guest books on the web site. How stupid do you think I am? Get real.
-Woody
Oh yea..sign your comments...like I'm gonna put my name to something....you gotta be kidding...
Hey guys and gals... Now that we've all recovered from our hangovers and massive sleep debt, it's time to pull your brains back into gear and start remembering Hartwell stories. The Scribe anxiously awaits your rememberences (for those of you who can) and memories of H2K. Send 'em in, we'll post 'em, and you can find out what the other lunatics were doing when you were off somewhere...doing something... Soon!
Okay Lisa, enlighten us with the Hartwell math 101 cuz I'm confused. I see it as only a short time. July is almost over and in the winter I'm like a bear, I hibernate so that doesn't count either and then there are the spring holidays, we see each other in May and they don't count so I figured it to be about five months. You tell me how many months or weeks do we have till we see each other again? Your the professor and i'm just the student however I am taking notes. Debi
11 more months?!?!?!?! Oh you silly anonymous writer. No, it's not 11 more months. It's only 7 more months. Don't you know how to count Hartwell style? Get with the program. If you need tutoring in Hartwell Math 101, please contact me at worsing@aol.com and I will be more than glad to help you out. Now start packing damn it -- it's almost time to hit the lake. (-: Love, HQ (aka/Lisa Areheart)
hey - sign your comments
Hard to believe it's been a month since we came back. Only 11 more to go!!
I liked the one that had titi cocka in it... but it was a chorus song..
Man, when your fellow alumns don't recognize a verse from the classic Virigia Johnson Highway Men tune, "Kemo Kimo" you start to wonder if you're on the right web page.
Oh, Bellah Fussa! (Dohraymandeemo)
Prost! Highway Men, 1978
What the hell was that Kitty song....i jsut don't get it and maybe I'm not suppose to.
More of a plank I reckon
If you are that board don't bother to leave a message!
Kimo-Kimo Deero-Art, Meh-Hee Meh-High Meh-Hum Drum Give a little Tit-tat pitty pat; soft curly pussy cat sing song kitty, can't you kigh me oh?
You guys are hillarious!! I love you!! HQ
can you still go all night long?
Speaking of "Inner" I always operated on the honor system..... She offered me her honor I honored her offer all night long it was honor and offer!
Speaking of "Inner" I always operated on the honor system..... She offered me her honor I honored her offer all night long it was honnor and offer!
Back in high school, I was frequently focused on getting "inner". Sometimes it worked, sometimes it didn't.
LOL Frustrated!!!!!
Dang,
I wish the "inner" stuff had been everyone's focus back in H.S.!!!! I probably would have been less frustrated ;)
o.k. I take it all back, :), goodlife
tain't about outsides anymore, it's moved on to what makes us individuals, our inner being and soul---about 18 years ago!
The men looked great goodlife....they looked better than us women. Try not to be so segregated because we all love each other and dont care what our bodies look like. The love is in our hearts....not what we look like.
WHAT A PARTY!!! It was great seeing everyone again! Next year ya'll has ta loze mo monie and valables bi da campfire after da midnight jamboree suz i can pazz it on to da Prez. He realy apprecicates doze anonomous donatzions. I really enjoyed the midnight cruse over the sand bar and the indepth conversation over Brunswick stew. Hey David remind me next year not to ask for the secert ingrident. The real kicker was the Copperfield routine of passing through a screen door without opening it. It still needs a little work but in time she should master it quite well. Lisa, do everyone favor and submitt the midnight skinny dip photos, I,m sure everyone will get a good laugh from them, Especially the dudes who forgot to suck in their beer gut. Enough sarcazism, Until next year I wish each and everyone one of you Hartwell addicts, all the best for you and your loved ones.
I don't know how many of you remember Jim Roche (Grizz)? I spoke with him and he will be at Hartwell for 2001! He sends his regards, if you want to contact him just give me a call I updated my info on the contact page.
Craig Hallam (Class of 80)
You Go HQ!!!
I'm with Dave. The guys' bods looked pretty darn good to me. (-: Love, HQ
If Lisa says we argued, she's just trying to start something. :-)
Hey Kathy, I've seen most of them, and I'll compare bods with anyone you choose, male or female! Hmmph!
David the loose cannon
You go, Woody...I'll give you a "do over" any day!!
Love you!
What an awesome party!
Yeah!! What Woody said!! Hugs, Savi :O )
Arguments? Who argued?
Lisa A. (-:
Okay, I've tried to do this a couple of times before, and I just got all choked up, but here goes. Hartwell was just wonderful. It had everything. Warmth, nostalgia, fun, frolic, boredom, sleep, lack of sleep, nudity, tragedy narrowly avoided, arguments, budding love, old love, hidden love, love on its way out and love yet to be found, midnight moonlight, the best goddamn BBQ in the world, and beautiful women. We ate great (did you know Yura is wonderful in the kitchen?), and I fell in love with Paulaner bier. I got to perform at the Kegger this year, and true to form, fucked up on the very first song, but everyone was great and let me declare a "Do over". I had so much fun. Words just don't say enough.
I love ya all,
Woody
OK People... I saw bunches of camera's at Hartwell, please send the pics to webtech!! I'm still waiting!!! hahaha
What great fun it is to read the Hartwell guestbook. Sorry to miss all the fun that was had and now look forward to more to be "haved". You are all so lucky to share the spirit of Frankfurt together and we look forward to the next. Promise....we'll be there, send the music list to Mike and he can begin practice!!!! Hee, easy for me to say, I still just love to sit and watch him play......so next year? I hope you all still look as good as you did this year. I loved the pics., great smiles, good hugs, major cool karma, great bods too, sorry must say from a fems. point of view.....you go girls.....you are looking good...sorry guys....really... I don't mean any kind of incentive for exercise next year, but heh! The girls & their pics. look fantabulous...let's here it for the GIRLS! You go girls! Mike is gonna hate me now...poor guy. Love, "goodlifedudette & goodlifedude"
I had a great time with all of you talented people. You have touched my heart and I can't wait till we party again. Thanks you Dennis, Lisa, David, ect... To all of you, Thanks for the laughs and great memories!
Sadly Frankfurt High Closed in June 1995 and is used now as a German Real Schule, but our Eagle emblem still graces the main entrance. The school was added to and upgraded in the 80's and so it looks just a little different than it used to. Hope that answers some of your questions FAHS 1969/70
Good food, Good drink, Good music, GREAT FRIENDS!!!!!!!!!!!
Leisa 76
went fhs in 69-70 miss the old place. is the eagles nest still there?
went fhs in 69-70 miss the old place. is the eagles nest still there?
Greetings from new england' I atended FHS during the late 60'69-70 is the eagles nest still there?
I can't wait to see what Jeff decides to do in retaliation? haha Wait and see...
Well, I guess my comments will just echo everyone else's. How can such a great time be put into words? How could anyone who isn't a Frankfurter understand what it's like to see people you haven't seen for over 20 years and to feel like you just left them yesterday? How can they understand the bond we share, not to mention the love and trust? Most of the people I know wouldn't get caught dead with the memembers of their high school, let alone spend a week in close quarters with them! I'd hang out with you guys anytime, anywhere! You know, I couldn't wait to tell everyone at "home" what a great time I had, give them all (well, most) of the details of the fun-filled week. But as I was driving home, tears in my eyes, I realized that they just wouldn't understand. They'd look at me, shaking their heads "tsk-tsk", wondering what the big deal was. So on Monday, when anyone asked me how the Lake was, I just smiled and said "it was fine," knowing in my heart that it was way more than fine, it was ausgezeichnet! To my house buddies, Linda, Julie, Virginia, DavidB '76 and Greg P - you guys rock!! Who said that six totally different people couldn't live in harmony... I hope to see you all soon, and to anyone who is passing through the ATL, look me up! Liliane
All right! What's the big idea of posting my humiliating "corking" on the front page!?! Why I oughta!
Tony Benedict: you betta watch yer back man!
ha ha
Jeff
Chyrs; It was my greastest pleasure. Being with you was the high point of the weekend. It was some good loving, and great partying!
Leigh
Hey zody69! Hartwell is a Frankfurt party. Join us. Lisa (Areheart) Worsing worsing@aol.com
Okay, so I didn't attend and probably never will. Although I must confess my spirit is there every year. I attended FAJHS from 63-66 and never had the honour of graduating from FAHS. But I must tell you all I'm sitting here reading your posts after viewing the photo gallery. As I listen to Bob Seger crank out "Like a Rock", I find myself tearing up. I can feel the love and know where each and everyone of you are coming from. We all have a shared experience that transcends time and space for we are all a part of a spiritual family that can never be severed. I find the post which spoke of there being a "part of me in everyone" really crystalizing this idea. It remind me of the line from "I AM THE WALRUS"...."I am he as you are he as you are me and we are all together." Kudos to you all for terrific reunion and here's to many more!! Keep on Rockin in the Free World!!!! Cheers!!! zody69
endless love and friendship, and priceless fun
endless love and friendship, and priceless fun
Add this to the recipe for the Hartwell High: love and friendship in endless amounts.
To the lady fair, I think you got the combination just right. Can't forget the sexual tension.
I'm laughing my considerable ass off remembering that first gathering under the deck at PHQ in '97. I was concerned then that nine people singing "Ein Prosit" might be too much for the neighbors.
The most amazing thing is that they keep inviting us back. The owner of the kegger house showed up unexpectedly on Sunday. Of course, thanks to the volunteer efforts of numerous Frankfurters, the place was immaculate. For those of you wondering about the Vietnam Memorial pic by the back door, Mr. Christie served in the Coast Guard during that period, but several of his classmates, friends, and cousins saw combat duty alongside our parents, and not all of them came home. He thinks what we're doing is great, and he wants to come to the kegger next year. I invited him and his neighbor, so you cats better bone up on some Buffet. Tell you what, Musikmeisters: you learn "A Pirate Looks at Forty," and I'll sing it. And you'd better learn "Margaritaville." To all my guests: thanks for coming. To my closest friends I extend my thanks for putting up with me. That goes quadruple for my wife. A big nekkid thanks to everyone who went skinny-dippin'. The laughter and bonding it produced are something most of us won't experience again until next year. To all who cleaned up after the kegger, thanks again. To Tony for asking me onstage with him, words can't express what it meant to me, amigo. Let's do it again. To Carol, um... I'm sorry. I didn't know you were auf Klo when we loaded the cars. Next year bring Palumbo. A huge thanks to Marco Santomauro and Paulaner Brewery in Munich for all the top-quality Bier. Lisa Areheart Worsing is the best administrative assistant to ever send an email! It wouldn't have gone as smoothly as it did without you, babe. Thanks for the flash. Dennis, kiss kiss, buddy. Sorry about Dickzilla dethroning you like that. My love to you all, and this promise: come back next year, and it will be even more fun! Group dinners for those who come early! A Slip N Slide for PHQ! Next year, instead of nametags, how 'bout we write our names in ultraviolet ink on our backside and pass around blacklights? Hey, I'm thinking here. How much fun do you want to have?
my leigh, thank you for the protection, the honor and the good lovin' yours, chyrs.
So. Here I sit, looking out over a beautiful view, but sad; rationalizing (again) to myself with a few tears in my eyes and a lump in my throat, why i couldn't be there (again). I'm so glad you all had a wonderful time and I've enjoyed reading the notes here. I wasn't there in body, but certainly was, in spirit and it's ever so comforting to know you're a part of my life. I WILL see you '01...... Your Sister, Sherry (Hurry '77) zoeyeoman@hotmail.com
Forgive me but a special thanks also needs to go out to....George Andrieve, David Bradley (78), Deb Butman, Mike Johnson, Dave Hallcom and anyone else who did me the greatest favor....a backrub. You all felt the knots in my back and knew how badly I needed it, and how good it felt for me. Thankyou from the bottom of my back!!!! Deb Butman (Cusato) gets the award though...man girl...can you ever give a good back rub!! I owe you for that one!! Love to you all.....Love, Cal (Schmitzy)
hey dean and cyndi.....loved talking to ya, loved your little alabama gal....she's a sweetie. all i know is that i came knowing no one, but the grome, and left knowing everyone.....at least feeling welcomed by everyone....and special thanks to all the roomies.....we did good! luv ya man!!!all of ya's. josie aka josmoody gosh i didn't say enuff,.....but you guys know....
David Proctor!
You and your lovely bride-to-be took some serious video footage! I like to purchase a copy. If you are willing, please contact me at jntlight@summit.net. Thanks!
Jeff
We love you Cindi....so glad you came with Dean, and look so forward to seeing you again next year at Hartwell 2001. Of course, we will be seeing you before then....love you baby!!! Love, Cal
Well where do you start, when you walk down the driveway to the PHQ You understand you are about to go back in time. The difference is your not alone.The person that maybe you thought you forgot is being reborn again in South Carolina!!! Weather or not you thought you would ever visit this state or not your here and the loved ones you brought with you, not knowing what to expect. I guess the best way to look at it is to expect the unexpected! This weekend was the true meaning of working a real to life jig saw puzzle. you had all your pieces in front of you, now it was up to you to place them in the right order with out the add of the name tags or any other outside source. It was the same puzzle that you put together so very long ago , remembered some of the parts exactly and others took a little longer to remember just where they went. Have no fear for those of you that had never been apart of the Frankfurt crowd, we always come through in true form to make the most strangest of strangers welcome. After all that is what we were brought up to do make friends fast, because you knew you would soon have to leave. Cindi said she has never felt so much a part of something she really knew nothing about until we met. I thank each and everyone who made her feel welcome. Rob and Brenda thanks so much for the kindness you put fourth to Cindi and I. Carol and Carolyn thanks for the relived times at Edwards Housing please stay in touch lets get more of Edwards there next year and Brenda let's work on the 76'ers OK. See you guys next year love you all Dean Parry 76
Thanks to Miss Pam for watching us kids while our parents partied. Thanks to Dennis for putting up with all of us kids. I'm sorry for waking you up too early in the morning. Brenda Ramsey's kid, Chelsea McLintock PS I'm sorry too for my Dad's dancing! :)
Adam and Deb, Welcome to Houston......We need more frankfurters down here.......jm
Porky.......On the phone with poo of course
Mickey Mouse
Well, what can I say, another Hartwell has passed and I miss you all so much. I'd like to thank everybody for making Deb feel at home, we both had a real blast and I can't think of a better way to have spent a second Honeymoon. To my brother Dennis, what can I say we all owe you so much for making it happen.(Hey are you wearing your hat? lemme know and a new hatband will be on the way this week!) I love ya bra! Lisa, Ron, Brother Dave, Poove, Schmitzy and all of the others who put it together my hats off to ya'll! (Sherry Ray, Indy and Peteski thanks for hosting the bash Saturday night and giving us a place to pick.) To the Boys and girls in the band...great job! I had a time! and would gladly share the stage with any of you. Thanks and lets do it again! Tony, Amy, Jeffro, Tree, and Tom (sorry about the 15 bones I promise it won't happen again!) we couldn't have had a more enjoyable stay, Thanks, you all are Kin fer sure. Cliffy you are Da damn Man! fine pickin just fine..hope yours and Tony's band gets some work soon, I reckon you'll have to bring them next year! Gina thanks for letting Cliffy come without you this year, we really missed you. Mike Johnson man it's always good to see you, you've been a best bud and continue to be. To the Huffmans, it is always a pleasure and honor to visit with ya'll. Woody the cat daddy! your company is a mighty fine reward. To all that I've missed or neglected to mention thank you for being you and helping me show my wife who I am and why I am. I reckon next year the drive won't be as long but more about that later. Anybody in the Houston area please contact me at adamaaron@odsy.net Asap.... hey John McGuire and Randy! Howdy neighbor!
Adam Aaron
Adam
Hawkman.....what do you mean "if we'll have you back next year!?!?!" Are now an indispensable part of the action bro! Cliff
Ya Know, For the past 22 years I've been looking for "me"...and now I realize I've been looking in all the wrong places. Sitting by the lake one day I looked out over the water, heard the laughter and partying around me, turned and looked at all of you and.........there I was. I found "me" in all of you and it was good to see me after all these years. I treasure my relationships with you, the old ones, and the new ones we formed during this past week. I will carry the memories of Hartwell with me all year, and then come back and make new ones!!!! Dennis, my new-found friendship with you is greatly appreciated and one I hope to keep alive forever. Finding all of you again has done my heart good; I now view life in a different light and it feels good to feel good. Does anyone know if nipple fish make good pets? Thanks to all of you for who you are, looking forward to another slice of Heaven at the lake next year. Love, Schmitzy. XXOO
Whoever has a copy of the group pic, I want one!! patrit1@earthlink.net
Russell...why arent you in the group picture....where were you baby????
A fantastic journey into my past. I can't express how much you all mean to me......new and old friends. You're the best! I returned home with my heart filled with love and completeness. Thanks to all of you for making this happen. I'm only sorry we can't be together more often. I had a great time! See you next year..come hell or high water, I'm there. Thanks D for placing the Cal's at PHQ...had a blast! And thanks to whoever left me behind at the Kegger, what an experience. Miss you all so much!
Carol Russell
There are those who will lead us, Protect us each step of the way From beginning to end For each moment, forever each day Such a gift has been given It can never be taken away.....
My beloved Frankfurt/Hartwell family, I am humbled and honored to call myself one of you. Bless you, and thank you.
Sherry Ray 78
I for one was disappointed about being far from Beth physically... Sure was good to see you lady! Maybe we can bump into each other more often over the coming year.
:)
Although I missed a few of you along the way, I was glad to spend time with the rest of you. It was just what I needed! No matter how far we are physically, it's wonderful to know that we are so close in every other way. Maybe next year I'll be able to get the whole week off... Love you all! Beth
Hartwell will leave a lasting memory for me. I discovered old friends and made some new ones. It was great to see everyone again. Thanks to all those who made it possible, you have my gratitude.
Larry McDonald, '77
Hello Friends!
It was great. As usual, you all were the best part. Can't wait until next year.
Special thanks to all those who worked so hard to make it all happen.
Hope to see many of you in Alexandria, VA later this month. Bring your instruments. There's a great street scene there.
Rock & Roll!
Jeff & family
Holy Shit mates, I had a blast. The band sucked sometimes and shined at others but I'd do it all over again even knowing that... The best stuff was the "unplanned" stuff. Jamming with Lee, getting the scribe to do the honors for "Time of Your Life", and marvelling at the talent of Indy and Sherrie, Woody, Linda, Hawkman and the Lisas. Is there such a thing as too much fun?
Adam, Cliff and Jeff thanks for all your hard work and patience. You guys were great.
Let's do it again before next Memorial Day!
Love, Tony (& Amy) Benedict
P.S. Hey guys, remember to sign your posts so we know whos comments we're reading...
Where do I start? A Hartwell first-timer, but one would never have known. I was taken in and loved by so many who didn't even know me. I was trusted by the band with a lot of songs that I didn't really know. I was brought in as one of the gang, and I haven't had that kind of royal treatment in a long long time. I have never seen such organizational skills coming from so many different places at the same time. Everything worked out beautifully from my timy perspective - thank yo ueveryone for making my vacation very special. And if you'll have me back next year, I'll relax and take a little more time with everyone and Prez, I'll probably earn that nekkid-nick back next year . . .

The ability to be ourselves with each other. It might not seem like much, but comming back to this reality has made me keenly aware of just how rarely human beings trust each other enough to just be themselves. How sad that so few have what we have. I can't help but think that the world would be a better place if only folks could be themselves without fear of the harsh judgement of their peers. I feel, and fear no such judgement from anyone at Hartwell. Our nekkidness together was a badge of honor, and a deepening of bonds. (and hell, it felt good too!) ...and if anyone ever gives us any shit about it we'll cork their asses! So many of you were able to open your hearts to me. I feel blessed. Thanks for your song Indy, Thanks for your deep conversations on the porch Dave-o. Thanks for making every woman at LH wanna see my "thing" Den. Adam, Tony, Jeff, Cliff,..you guys rocked the lake! Thanks Matt for calling so much,.. sure was nice to talk to you on the other side of the world while stoned! Thanks Lisa for two large reasons! Thanks big Ron for letting her share her big reasons! Thanks Chris for sharing that towel with me at the dock! <grin> There are so many people who made this so fun....I want to take the time to name you all,...but then my A/C is out and I be sweating to death right now!!! Love you guys! Miss you! Den--if you have the party flag, I wanted you to keep it anyway. Drop trou bro! --zilla

OK.....I am now sober (no one should drink that much Stroh....thanks to everyone that attempted to save me from myself Sat night, it was a lost cause! :)......lets see at risk of leaving someone out here we go!
Biggest thrill? Some real and some imagined....but Tony, Adam and Jeff jamming with you guys is something I have wanted to do for oh....about 20 years you guys still inspire me!
Vykie and Dave "Hawkman" new friendships rock! Glad I got to hang with you guys you’re really good people, Billy But......you know the deal, and I will gladly pass "G"'s greetings along anytime.
Amy, Debbie, and "Tree" thanks for your support, breakfast and letting the boys be boys....you are really wonderful understanding folks. Linda N. you are one hell of a Woman ( capital “W”) and a damn fine singer to boot, Woody I expect a ballad about this next year, Carolyn S. it was cool to finally NOT be just one of your brothers “little friends” <grin>, Sherry and Indy you folks are truly “new age”, George we didn’t get a chance to talk much…..next year I guess, Riczilla…..YOU DA MAN!!!!!! WOW just be careful you don’t scare the wildlife there buddy!
To our “hosts / organizers”: Thanks as always for the effort, Lisa W. you did an admirable job with the food etc. Dave B. the kegger was awesome again…just wish I had gotten a boat ride! Dennis, I just hope to be partying half as hard when I reach your age <giggle!>, Lisa P. you are the definition of “Brave and Crazy”……next year we do it for sure (Bitch and Landslide again as well!).
Only regrets, leaving someone out and that I didn't get nekkid oh well next yr......how bout this title......
"Hartwell 2001…….. a Frankfurt Odyssey"
Total Sensory Overload in the most pleasurable way! That is the only way to describe what I felt when I arrived at Lake Hartwell. First I was nervous...I couldn't eat, then I heard the laughter, to put me at ease, and next I saw the faces... those faces I thought I'd never see again after graduation... each one sending me back in time. The best part is that no one stayed by themselves or left me out, all came and embraced me with hugs, big smiles and hello's. If High School had been like this, who knows? I'm ever so grateful to each and every one at Hartwell 2000 for the most fantastic time! And Prez? You can sleep in my bed anytime ! Hugs, Savi
Thank you all for yet another wonderfully memorable time at the Lake. I love you all, and look forward to seeing you, and some new faces, next year. Start planning now folks, Hartwell 2001 is just around the corner. With love, hugs and kisses. Lisa (Areheart) Worsing
Emotions are still too high - I just can't put my emotions into words at the moment - it's just not possible - I truly love you all !!!!! All I can say is the experience of it all was pretty TIP-TOP-SUPER-DUPER-SPLISH-SPLASH-NEKKID-EIN PROSIT-LOVELY-JOVELY-TASTIC TIME!!!!! - and that still does not do justice to the Hartwell 2000 experience for me. I'll be back when I can clearly sum up what a wonderful time I had with you all!!! In the meantime I thank you!!! Ayse xxx
Thank you, would you please.....
Prez

Lisa Poovey Greene '80 (lpgreene@liden.org ) PS-See the rest of my Frankfurt family in DC in just 16 days! Can't wait to carry on the party!
elements of the Hartwell high—swaying on sea legs to the motion of the lake, intoxication, sleep deprivation, sexual tension...have I forgotten one?
lets do it all again tomorrow
Why does it have to be over?? I think we should have one week there where we all get drunk and nekkid...then another week where we arent drunk and can just get to know each other again. 2001...two weeks would be better!! What the hell we can just quit our jobs, fire our spouses...and live with each other...forever!!!!!!!!
I love you frankfurters!! I truly do love all of you and have a place in my heart that I will always treasure with memories of FAHS and the new ones we shared at H2K. No one in society will ever begin to understand or comprehend the tightness...the bond...that we for some reason have. How thankful I am that I was a part of your lives, and you a part of my life. Bring it on...Hartwell 2001...I will be there!! And not so drunk next time..but then I know who to blame for me partying way too much. Though....my lips are sealed!! Because I love ya man!! Thanks!!!! Everybody!!!!
Okay yall...I know I was there..and know I had a great time...but next year, I definitely plan to pace myself a little better. But Hartwell...it brought a little something back to me personally that I have been missing for so many years. And that is "who I am", never once did I have to be fake, at Hartwell we can be ourselves. Getting nekkid was a trip...havent done that in awhile!! I now miss all of you, and wish I could be there again with more clearer eyes and not the cross eyed ones I wore most of the time. I love you all...and thankyou for being friends after 22 years. I look so forward to next year...and meeting you all again, getting nekkid with you all again...having a beer with all of you again. But for me...no more Stroh Rum...nuh uh...never again. Thanks Dennis!! Love you!!!
Let's have more fun in 2001! Frankfurters in Hartwell Rock the Lake!
What Hartwell means to me is Love, Lust, Fantasy's, Reality's, Past and Future Memories, Laughter, Tears, Hugs, kisses, Cheap Feels, Music, Drink, Food, Great housemates, Nekkidness and most of all the warmth from the best family a Frankfurter could ever have.....I love you all and can't wait to do it with you all again next year.
I'm not tellin' what I expected :) ...but it was perfect just the way it was!!
To all that did NOT skinny dip in the Lake, don't let me see you put "nekkid" or any form thereof in front of your name in chat. (-:
What did you expect?
I can't put into words just what this year's reunion has meant to me...it was not quite what I had expected, but it was everything I needed...thanks to everyone who made the weekend so special. I love you all!!! Linda
The show was great!
Special thanks to the Georgia cops for letting us slide past midnight.
What a bash!
ROCK & ROLL!!!
