Hello and salutations to all my friends from Amarillo. I was lost…and now I’m found…. My brother Alder Ray has shown me the light. I have been reading letters and comments from all of you and I must admit that I am thoroughly impressed with the unity and love expressed by all. I look forward to reuniting with you soon.    Luv-U     Jerrold R. McClendon  

Hello, all especially those from the class of "68". The past reunion was fun. I was however looking to party harder than I did. It is my understanding that the parties during the Juneteeth celebration are the best. Anyway, I look forward to more time there in Texas, "My home on the range". I am looking for several classmembers and am hoping someone will email me and help me out. A Die-Hard DragonGwen Parker

This is a wonderful webpage. It was good to read all the differnt responses from those that I both knew and didn't know. I missed the last reunion but definitely plan on attending the next.(God willing) Any of you who remember me,please feel free to email me. God bless

Hello Carver Dragons The last time I was in Amarillo for a reunion was 1987 when my youngest daughter was less than a year old. Since that time, I have become a grandmother 8 times (by my son who has five, my stepdaughter has 2 and my youngest has one 3 month old daughter. I have been in Denver since 1968 and had many ups and downs, but but the Grace of God and I happy and have a wonderful life. My mother Greta Blackburn (who passed away 1n 1986 when I was 4 months pregnant with my youngest child) taught at Carver for many years and I have fond mmemories of Hilltop, Carver, the dances at the Y on Friday nights  and parties at Della Roger's house with her mom partying right along with us. I was reading the" in memory of "section and was  saddened to learn of so many of my classmates who have passed on. I do keep in touch with some fellow Carver dragons, like Della Roger, John Allen Jr, Andrinee, Cheryle and Jimmy Hilliard. I used to talk to Debra Jackson and Paul Whitaker a few years ago.  My new son-in law 's father lived in Amarillo for a while.Anyway I will try to make it to the next reunion, God willing. I would love to hear from any of my classmates (class of 1970).

     I would like to applaud my brother Alder  Ray  Nash President and Bonita Renolds Vice President of the Amarillo Carver High Society Club. Since coming into the knowlege of the club I have had the most pleasant opportunity of sharing the contents of the Carver Golden Dragon Assc. which I found enjoyable  as well as informative       I feel that it is a very beautiful thing to be able to bring classmates, friends , and family together. In my experience I have found people to be on there best behavior and a spirit of joy to be forever present.   Therefore it is my desire to also become a part of the Amarillo Carver High Society Club.I am willing to do whatever I can whenever I can in order to help this cause to become a greater sucess.I welcome all that desire to contact me and feel free to call on me to assist when the opportunity presents itself !      GOD BLESS YOU ALL !  AND MAY THE GRACE OF GOD BE WITH YOU ALL ALWAYS !

By the way, the song that is playing is the right choice for this theme.

By chance, I found this great website and read the names of many people whom I have known.  I only spent one year of my academic life at Carver Junior High School-- but it was critical in shaping my life for service as a physician. I pray that others after me have enjoyed the inspiration to achieve and similar success. To my friends and classmates, I send greetings and wishes for success in whatever you do and wherever you go. May God continue to bless and keep you.

Hello Fellow Carver Dragons I just wanted to drop another few lines to say hey to you. The last 2 months have brought several milestones in my life, I turned 57 on April 11, celebrated 25 years of marriage on April 21 and marked 20 years at my current job on May 8. Denver has been my home since I left Amarillo in August of 1968 but Amarillo is still where my heart is. Wish I could make the reunion this year but time and obligations won't allow. I am the proud parent of 3 great grown kids and 8 grandkids and they  and my husband all keep me grounded and let me know my life is blessed.  I wish to hear from any former Carver Dragon. I keep in touch with Della Rogers and just recently heard form Doris Lax.  Edith Randon, if you are out there, please contact me. Take care all and stay strong and keep your faiith in God and your family and friends and yourselves.  

Hey Ya'll, it has been said, "a child will lead them..."!  Keep up the good work.  You make me even more proud to call Amarillo my home. Billie Alexander Ray (Class of 1965)

Hello CGDA and all members, I just wanted to say that I am very "Happy" to see how you all have worked to keep us all informed about "The Rillo" and your hard work is very much "Appreciated. It gives me "Great Joy" to see all "Associations" realize we need each other to continue "Patton, Dragons and Geckos be recognized as "One". Patton Carver is about all "African Americans" who walked through that school and their "Family" members who were not so fortunate to enjoy the feeling. The Reunion is about "Educating" our younger generation about what struggles were absorbed to have that school belong to "US" in north amarillo. No matter what is said about what Carver was about"We All Paid A Major Price" to have that school taken from us and we all know why. As we all know the slogan from the opposition ( you already know the words) We can\'t beat them so we need to get them here with us. A very sad day for us all, but as we all see there was "Excellent Teaching" from our "Professors" Male and Female and there are some very "Intelligent" Individuals from those streets in the "Rillo. Keep up the good work on keeping us together and we will only get "Better And Stronger" as we proceed forward, I Love Our Direction.Much Love,Charles Bates aka CB.

Fellow class mates all over the world. Caver jr. sr. High School maked a impack on us and around the world.  My heart was charge, and spirit lifted by reading all messages from on black Amarillo.com .

My I never believed this was happening in Amarillo, thanks to my dear friend Connie Dean Clewis Keith for hooking me up to the Black Amarillo.com  I really didn\'t know this is what\'s happening since I left in 1966.  I came back to Amarillo in 2000 because I promised Brenda Bucller BJ Kimsong as she was called to come to the reunion I came and it rained and was cold until the last day I had to leave.  But thanks to all who has helped with this website.  Hello Mr Roger Scott, Miss Foster,Nellie Mae Scott, you don\'t know how you really help me to cope with life.  May God bless and keep you all and thanks again.

Holiday Greeting Dragons,"Plant your own Garden and Decorate you Own Soul, Instead of waiting for someone to bring you flowers.   Much love and blessed Holiday seasons."  I recieved my Carver Dragon Reunion 2012 invitation and I\'m making plans to attend.  Join me in June and let\'s celebrate the memories of  Carver Jr./Sr. Hight School.
