Hello fellow classmates! I'm looking forward to seeing everyone at the upcoming reunion, can't believe it's been 35 years since we all left East Side. I have some very special memories of East Side and the City of East St. Louis that I will cherish for the rest of my life and most center around my time with my classmates of 1978.

Looking at the names of our classmates that have passed on reminds me of how blessed we are to have the opportunity to fellowship with one another. Please be safe and let's make this a special reunion for all.

With warm regards,

B. Antonio Allen
