Beanie here. Just dropping a line to all my fellow GSE '03 members. Here's to missing the good times, anticipating the renunions, and keeping in touch. So if anyone out there wants to chat, there's my email and its also my AIM name. Hope to hear from some of you guys soon.

Anyone else from 1976 there? I was from Elizabeth City NC, and my older brother Danny also attended GS, in 74 I think. Great experience. Funny, now I'm married w/ 2 children, and we live only 10 minutes from Salem College. Still a beautiful campus!

OK, so I understand that this site is more visited by those recently graduated Govees, but to the GSEers of 1997(gosh could it have been that long ago?) I just want you to know how fondly I remember all of you each day! How else could a DRAMAFREAK learned about causeway games, unlit areas, feeding the ducks, JELLO, monks and french maids, A-LEXUS(sorry nick) and all of the memories that have made me who I am! I miss you all, now more than ever as adulthood sets in... just remember, things always look better hanging upside down on the causeway!

Hey to all the GSE two dubba oh three people... I miss you guys immensely, especially my chorus buddies. I got the CD of the second concert yesterday and thought about everyone. William if you read this, great job on that high C in Battle of Jericho!!! ;-) See everyone on alumni day next year!! Can't wait :-D

First of all, I would like to say "SQUABLES," is French! Secondly, I am so proud of all of us GSE '03 go'ers who did not get sent home, and the ONE who did, Ashley I love ya. Next, I want all the people who heard me say "SQUAD UP," to put the signs up. I love all those who were there with me and all who were just there. J loves you and I am pretty sure that you love J. Its all fopr a reason and it took me some time to figure this out. I am still upset about us having to leave, maybe because my life isnt as exciting as it was there, or most likely because i really miss a lot of people that I met at GSE.

Hey guys! GSE 2003 is in the Hizouse! Da'Crew- I miss you all! Reunions- let's get together soon!

GSE 03 I love and miss all of you!! I hope school is going well for everyone :D Email me if you ever get bored, I would love to reminisce with you! Love, Kathryn

Hey everyone from GSE 2003!!! I miss yall so much! Wish I could be with you all right now! Rock it wherever u are!!! Email me!!!

SO, I'm in the library right now, about to complete my third week of school. there are only 164 days left and then i'll be off to the great beyond, where i hope to see more of you guys and less of the people around me now. This past summer was the greatest experience of my entire life and i'll never forget any of you or the moments that we shared. BF3 all the way, and i'll always be a ART KID!. take care of yourselves and drop a line my way sometime. love always - josh

Heyhey all you alumns out there. Shout out to my GSW02 govies, I miss you more than you will ever know. Orchestra peoples rocked my world, SUPERBABIES, THE MUSICAL! Also, never forget the lady bug. I have had my fill of refectory food but I will always miss GSW, the people, the atmosphere and the knowlege that Im not the only person out there who cares and has passion for whats happening in that wide expanse we call the world. Alumni day was great, amazing, fulfilling and I cant wait till next year. THANK YOU LUCY! Also, a shout out to my '03 govies, Brandon, Eva, the blanket gang, and any one else I happened to meet that day. Superbabies and rocket powered monkeys can get along after all.....drop me a line:-)

I had the most incredible summer! Thank you for all the good times and amazing memories. I wish I could be in the quad right now! I miss you guys soooo much! Keep in touch...I love you all! ***Brittany***

GSE 2003 rocked my world! I miss the lightning storms, the fountain, and most of all the people!!! I can't wait until alumnus day (or whatever it's called) next year! I love you all!

Wow, I think I am the first GSW 2003 Chicken to sign the guestbook. Where's the love, you guys? Anyway, I had an amazing summer. Much love to all my fellow BABCOCK 3RD FLOOR GIRLS (B3 forever, and we will NEVER forget those wonderful pranks and the Gramley Underwear Tree...) and to my fellow dancers (I love you guys!). All those great nights of ordering Chinese and watching Mandy ask the delivery boy to be her boyfriend, watching Korean movies and dirty pandas in the basement, the conjugal room, stealing Allonda's air conditioning...I love all of you very much and I miss you guys. It began with a timid group of 400 in the hot gym doing a "scavenger hunt" (props to the Sistine Chapel) and it ended wih tears with a midnight breakfast, a sunrise, many laughs, and an agitated wrecked Party City. Please drop a line every now and then. Love you!

Hey guys!! I can't believe how fast our summer flew by! Keep in touch! GSE '03 rocks!

I miss yall so much! Go GSE 2003! We HAVE to keep in touch! Love ya!

Wooohoo! Second person to leave a message! To all the amazing friends I made at GSE 2003, I love every single one of you until the day I die. All I want to do right now is walk out on the quad and see you guys. I hope I get to see you soon!! I miss you!

Hey everybody. Im the first 2003 govie to sign the guest book, rock out loud! Keep it real you guys. GOVIES ROCK!

GS Alumni DAY 2003 was a blast! Nice weather, and a nice program, regardless of the constraints they tried to put on us. I particularly enjoyed the '03 GSW chorus's performance for us. Thanks. ^_^

Wuz up to my GSW '01 clique! Ya'll it's hard to believe that it's been two years since we left. Many of us have completed our Freshman year in college...man time sure does fly! I just wanted to let erebody know that each and every one of you has touched me in an emotional and deep way. Cammie and Seke always fighting. Nigel and Max always chillin with the headphones. Efua and Justen always makin us laugh. Oh and can't forget about Kira and Rodney!:O) (Couldn't think of an analogy for that one!) Me and Courtney...the goody two shoes:o) I'll never forget ya'll...Holla at cha girl sometimes...keep it real! GSW 2001 FO LIFE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

G.S.> west was the funk, the school has fresh idea of how education can be if everone gets involved and doesnt try to sway people towards their ideology.

EAST 78 ers, where are you? ROBERT GREGORY! Do you know how hard you are to find? 100,000,000,000,000,000 hits! Write me and tell me how absolutely wonderful your life is! By the way, I dropped theatre like a rock, like I shoulda done at the very start. But I never learn, now I'm taking Liberal Studies for my Masters! My life goal is to collect as many useless degrees as possible. IT'S ALL ABOUT FUN! English folks from 1978 East and ROGER J., write me too -Laurie

OMG...I was at West the other day chillin w/ some friends and it made me miss GSE '01 so much. And then i cam here and i became even more sad. This sucks! I want to see people, dammit! I guess that's why i'm on my way to chapel hill in the fall...much love...I hope i see you all soon...

GSE 02 was one of the best experiences EVER. It feels really weird not being in school during the summer...I will never forget all the weird bandies out there. I was thinking to myself "funny...they're supposed to be smart, so why are they all pickin their noses?" j/p. Yeah, it turns out that it wasn't just a bad first impression...Did anyone ever notice how many Fossil Blue watches i had accumulated over the summer? lol. I miss everyone, and I'm not even sure if I can go to the reunion yet...dun dun dun. Keep intouch, and might I add that this is quite a nice site? Never forget those freak thunderstorms...living at Meredith rocked...too bad i never had money. tee hee.

GSW 2K2 Gramley!...I've said enough :)

GSE 2002!!! I miss my drama crew so much! I will never forget you guys. I'm having one of those days where all I want to do is walk out onto the quad and see you all again. I love you all. Word up to long rehearsals, koala lovers, renacting Friends episodes, and the friendships we all made. I miss you more than I can say. GSE Drama 2002 forever. I love you.

Hey all fellow GSW '96 Crewmen.. and women. What is going on out there? I'm looking for some contacts with people that shared that summer with me EVEN if you didn't know who I was then. Let me hear from you at the email above and let me know what area you were there for. CHORAL MUSIC REPRESENTIN

Hello to all GS alumns. I've noticed poor representation from GSE '84, so I thought I'd add my name. I loved the experience so intently that I'm actiually teaching Area II (Philosophy and Epistemology) at GSE this summer (2003)! Any of my 84 crowd should drop me a line! would love to reconnect.

Governor's School West 2001, rock on!

GSW'96 ROCKS!!! I attended the school for art, and yeah, that summer, we had a pretty good time. I remembered the LOTTERY that was filmed there, because I took part in shoveling the rocks!! I have no idea where my art buddies are, but where ever they are, I don't think anyone will forget the burning movie theatre when we went to see Independence Day....those saturdays are worth returning to. Have a good life...and remember, don't f*** with my reality!

GSW 92

It's been a long while since I left a post on this thing. I am happy to see that all of the 2002er's are still lighting up the book; wish some more of the 99er's would do the same. Haven't heard much from the Gramely Family in a while either. Would love to get together with yall some time soon. If anyone is interested, drop me a line at the email above. Or, my AOL screenname is captainspazo, holler at me there.

This is to everyone from GSE 2002. Today is one of those memory days. And apparently not many people from 2002 have much to say. So I'm hoping to hear from all of you. The year is almost over and hopefully we will have a reunion soon. I haven't heard anything about one and I don't know of anyone that has. So, If you know what is going on, please spread the news. Myself along with many others are waiting.

Wow. It's hard to believe this year will be my third symposium. It feels like just yesterday that I was enjoying the only air possible in the FAC. Freshman year is over for me, it has been for most of my GSW pals for a year now. I just feel so old! GSW 2000 forever. All my scrannel gongs, I miss you. All of you who left me "word of the day" messages in Clewell, they will not be forgotten!!!!!!!!!! Stay awesome you guys, you were part of the best summer of my life!

Hello to all GS alum. Especially to those in Laurinburg summer of '93. Hope to see more from anyone else at GSE 93.

2002 Gov School East! Missing you all. Does anyone know when is the big reunion at Meredith happening? Please let me know. I haven't heard a thing from GS since GS but I know we're suppose to have a reunion I think. If not, then someone MAKE PLANS TO THROW A BIG PARTY REUNION this summer! Much love.. come visit me! <3 K

GSE 1983

I was at GSE in the summer of 95. There was a reunion at one time, but I haven't heard anything since then. We all need to get together and do something! I loved it! Anybody out there?

GS class of '71 English. I was "volunteered" by my guidance counselor. I thank her from the bottom of my heart because it was one of the best summers of my life. Sybil Ward, are you out there?

It's almost a year since GSW 2002 has past and what can i say ... i know i speak for all of us (except my ex-roommate) GSW was one of the best summers of our lives and an experience that we will never forget.

The best orchestra ever and Pico vs. Island trees i wish you guys the best of luck and have to say that playing with you guys definately changed my artistic life. I only leave this to everyone and that's i'll see all of you at the reunion and i can't wait to dance that night away. i doubt that any GSW compares to that one. i wish i could shout out to everyone, but you guys know how it is at NCSSM ....all work. my cell # is 910-670-8998 if you ever wanna holla. i miss each and every one of you and give all my love take care Eric Yi

Open mic nights,and Louis you're a freakin' musical genius! and to all my govees!! YOU ROCK! LOVE YA BUNCHES!

Yep...I'm actually listening to the Choral Music CD (GSW '02!!!YAY)as i write this and all the thrilling memories of the best time of my life come flooding back into my mind. Remember the overtones? i thought we looked weird but we sounded awesome! Remember Clewell 2nd floorer's...Double C-2 (compliments to Rhea!), dancing like CRAZY and then eating Eunice's mom's chronic authentic chinese Shrimp Fried Rice(YUM! how i miss it), the birthday parties, Louis you're a freakin' musical genius! s-boys, scientific sexiness(lol), trying not to fall asleep in Area II, being able to get things off my mind in Area III, oh and i musn't forget....trying the Refectory food for the first time! lol.

Hey guys, anyone have photos of GS at Meredith? If you have them in digital form, please forward some of your best to me to assist the site with new photos. Thanks much.

Hey GSW 97 people. Hope everyone is doing ok. Get up with me if you want to my aim name is The Toyologists. I would love to hear from some of you guys.

great site and good job.

This web site is wonderful. I attended GSE '79 in English. Best experience of my life and I am grateful to all who made it possible. Would love to hear from other GSE '79 alum. I have not kept in touch but I remember names, faces and all the wonderful times we shared.

GSW '96ers are you out there?

I moved recently, and came across my box of GS stuff--it seems impossible that 12+ years have gone by. I get an almost homesick feeling when I look through all those great memories. I'd love to hear from anyone from the Class of 90 :)

I was in the Class of 1991 at GSWest in Winston Salem. My area was art. Email me--I'd love to hear from ya! --Mark

Just wanted to check back in and give my new email address. W93 people get in touch!! *mwah*

GSW 2K2 was a blast! Choral music rocked and I shall never forget this, the best summer of my life. A big shout to all the Gramley guys, especially G2! I miss you all so much. Keep in touch! ~TiM CooK

Governor's School East Choral Music 2002! I'll never forget it!!

Just a test to make sure things are working after the move.

What up? This is matt brewington just writin' gsw 2k2 people to say what's up! This past summer was definitely the best i've ever had... My final question for you is- why didn't i realize it was so great until i was gone?... gone from all the fun up in GRAMLEY! and all the towel poppin' down on G2 and fire alarms goin' off b/c of body heat- rug stealin'- lookin' out the window at the babcock girls- pilin' up on the couches in the commons which i thought were more of orgy couches even though i only really liked layin' on 'em w/ 1 chic- she knows who she is- sittin' 'round the fish pond just talkin'-actually having intelligent conversations that mean somethin'- chillin' w/ chuck e.- makin' walls of cans- playin' x-box- buyin' a t.v. fo da basement- playin' pool- havin' everybody think i am an expert at it- water polo!- talkin' in the best class i've ever had- area 3 w/ Ben Milner- if i could be forced to listen to the chorus and orchestra again, which i have come to love, i would be right back there- w/ y'all- in a heartbeat. Matt Brewington p.s.- thanks for the time of my life

New to this page...would like to connect with any GSE alums from summer 1985....

Hey everyone! I was having a GSE moment and wanted to remember all the good things I unfortunately had to leave behind last summer. Those six weeks were the best of my life, thanks to my wonderful poetry class (long live the mullet), a terrific roommate, and a few special people. I am now a freshman at Carolina, and it is great to see so many familiar faces here, many living in my dorm. It makes me feel like we are somewhat together again. For those whom I have not seen yet or who went to other schools, I miss you all and wish you the best in what you're doing. I hope to hear from some of you; my fellow freshmen here, I hope we survive this first year with a vengence! God bless.

Looking for members of the class of '73. Hello..is here anybody out there?

Congratulations to all GSW 2002 alumni! I had an incredible summer and meeting you guys was the most wonderful part of everything. Vive la revolution! (The Golden Revolution that is) May the elephants with eating disorders, rubber band wisdom, sidewalk poetry appearances, not-so-white board conversations live forever.

Much love to the GSE '02 crew! I miss you guys so much!

GSE isn't well represented.. thought I'd add a hello to everyone who's ever been associated!! GSE02, much love and thanks for the memories!

I suddenly have become nostalgic in my old age. Without a doubt GSW '92 was one of the top two events that have helped shaped my academic/intellectual/social life. I would love to catch up with my old cronies, so e-mail me if you happen to run across this.

Hello to all my GSW 2K2 ppl out there. This was THE best summer of my life. I'll never forget ya'll or the memories that we made together! the cardboard limo w/ the platnum G ...things that are NOT ok!...do you trust me?...couch pile ups--just how many did we fit?...flash dancing w/ randi's camera...Oz gone wild!...basement babes and freaking over eric's joke...getting my finger stuck in an industrial fan...sleeping whenever possible...bad touch/good touch...fishpond chats w/chuckles, and invading personal space...the sound that a chicken makes...table danceing in the commons..."becca i can't clap! i burned my finger on a MUFFIN!"...alex pearson is awesome!...pico v island trees presented by master P and emc productions...giant chicken w/ a saddle...watching the REAL sun rise on our last day... i miss you guys so much...KIP... becca i

Just wanted to drop a note and wish everyone and especially the GS 72'ers all the best.

Moving back to NC after 10 years in PA in August 2002

Hey there kids, I went to Asheville this weekend to visit a friend and on my way homeI stopped by Salem College. To my surprise and by sheer luck, I walked onto campus and GS was in session. On top of that, the orchestra was having a performance that night. I was so happy when I was walking around, as memories of things and people long forgotten came flooding back. It was exhilirating to see the campus. I went into the infirmary hoping that Mama Carol was still there. To my disappointment she wasn't. It was there that all my fondest memories took place. Just goes to show that you really take the people and places that you've met and been with you as you move on. I will never forget anything as long as I live. As long as I can help it anyway..LOL I love and miss all my friends even if they don't remeber me. Peace out

What can I say that hasn't already been said? The GSE session of 2001 that took place from June 17th, that Sunday to July 28th, that Saturday, remains very fresh in my head. I have done extremely well with keeping in touch with some people, and not with others. But I want you all to know that I do think about you from time to time... Shoutouts and much luv to my peeps...Alison ( I love yo girl), Jada, Shaquanda, Cheka, Cliff, Jimmy, Portia, LaDonna, Tandrea, Christina, Sharon, Rae, Rodney, Derrek, Brandon, Erin, and any other Stringfield offspring! I miss you guys, and can't wait to see you at the reunion which is scheduled for the end of July!

I attended GSW '87 in Choral Music. I'm living in New York now and can't remember the last time I spoke with a GSW friend. We might want to all start catching up with each other now unless we're still promising to put it off until we all get to heaven, as if that's going to happen. Any familiars out there to my cause please write.

for all of you GSW 2000 kids out there who HAVEN'T heard about the msn group that's been up since a couple of days after we left salem college: check it out! i've added pages where alumni can post their college choices, addresses, and photos from the good ol' days of GSW 2000, symposia, and other GSW crony gatherings, as well as message boards with witty (and doubleplusunwitty) conversations and more! in case the link above doesn't post, go to: http://groups.msn.com/GSW2000/ i hope to see a lot of you at symposium again this year!

GSW 2001 was definitely one of the most memorable events of my life. The things I learned, the people I met, the wisdom I gained, is uncomparable at this point in my life. GSW did something that no public educational system could ever do, it taught me how to THINK. And I show an undying amount of appreciation and gratitude for North Carolina for having such a program. GSW allowed me to understand what it is like to have an internal peace. I give much love to the West Campus of 2001 and an indescribable amount of peace.

If you are a parent who is worried about your child taking part in the experience of GSW, stop! After 6 weeks of learning, sharing and growing, thinking, stretching, debate and (not to mention) washing their own clothes, your son or daughter will come home stronger, braver, more confident, more well-spoken, more sure of themselves than 4 years of high school will give them. If you are a student who is wondering if 6 weeks of classes is worth sacrificing a whole summer for, STOP! GS alum like my daughter will tell you that it is more than worth it. It is a life-changing event that will touch you to your core. You will form friendships that will last for years - maybe even forever. Take a chance. Don't be afraid to try everything new -- it's safe and fun. You'll never be sorry that you did.

GSE 2001...What can I say? Everyone who reads this take note: I do not think any GS class could ever surpass the GSE 2001 class. Things like SPEED, Milner, Fish, anything in Brewer like Britney Spears-worship services and Breezer, CLUE with Mr. Rob, the DORM WAR in the newspaper (Faircloth 1st floor was the best!!!), and the countless hours of ultimate frisbee made GSE the best...By the way, We didn't have anybody leave!!! 100% graduates. I love you all and keep in touch...Much love to Dan, my roomie, my Philosphy class with David Nunnery (remember the box he kept walking in), the MATH PEOPLES (hey, we're not art!), and everyone else....I love ya'll. Peace!

I'm looking out the window of a Florentine Villa, where I work, into the city below. I got a great job for the summer working with wonderful people and wondeful art, and I really think I wouldn't be here today if I hadn't gone to GSW in 1998. Not only was it a wonderful time, but it introduced a world bigger than North Carolina and more importantly, a world of questioning. GSW gave me an awareness of life that I will undoubtedly carry with me forever. It has been the summer that hasn't stopped. Call it luck or fate or the will of god that I got to be there that summer. Call it what you want to, but I'm glad it happened, and I hope it continues to happen to other people for a long long time. The world is truly a better place for everybody as long as there's a Governor's School in North Carolina.

Wow. It's been nearly a year, and it seems like so much has changed. On a sheerly personal level I've cut my hair. Yes that's right for those of you who haven't seen the dreadlocks are gone-- have been gone since February. As a testament to my own dedication to the GSE spirit I just sat at my computer and read the entire guest log of this website up to my last entry. It gave me this nostalgic rush which was wonderful. I would urge you all to partake of this GSE aqua vitae yourselves. I would love to fill the rest of this entry with memories but I've written a novella here already. I would like to wish you all happy trails. (I feel like I'm signing one gigantic annual here) Best wishes especially to Chuck Sullivan and his amazing poetry class! "Let be be finale of seem."-- Never have I felt the power of words more than in those few short weeks last summer. (I'm really gushing now! Sheesh!) Take care. Yours truly, chief executive officer, the prez Fish.

hello out there to the govees of East 97. Took a sentimental side trip on my way to the beach and drove thru Laurinburg. Nothing has changed and it brought back wonderful memories. Has it really been 5 years??

Cheers from Nunavut

GSE 2001 was awesome!

I'm looking through all the previous guestbook entries and it really warms this aging boomer / geezer's heart from GS'70 that all you guys from the last 3 decades found GS to be as much a life-changing experience as I did. In some of these entries, I see occassional references that obviously represent the inside alter-ego things you build there among friends...we'd had ours too, and hello to Mother Abcess, Winslow, the Harry Buffalo, Mel, Weird Harold, Fat Albert, and Blue Mom, wherever you are. (Funny as....Wayne Welch!) These are summer memories you will carry with you forever. We miss you, Kathy. WHERE THE HECK ARE YOU GS70'ERS, HUH? HEY, WAKE UP AND WRITE IN!!
