NUMBER: It was a great number -- 61 classmates, family and friends of graduates from the 1946 Classes of Huntington East High School traveling from California, Arizona, Florida, Ohio, Kentucky and West Virginia -- attending the 63rd annual reunion activities in early October in Huntington. During the reunion, Kara Simpson, Chesapeake High School graduate attending Marshall University, was awarded the annual scholarship.
