Berney Points History

[Mike Gallant]

Does any one remember what year was the first Grad Senior class of BP and what was the Last Senior Grad class of BP. I think 1975 was the first year BP had a Senior class I maybe off by a year or so, and I have no clue what year was the last. Seems like I attended a service there when BP was closing and moving but dont remember the year, maybe this over 40 thing. Any clues?

Didn't Carla marry Brian Perkins. He was a very good friend of mine when I was in high school.

Wow I thought there were more Grad classes, Bonnie Knowles Pate says the first class to Grad was 1975 and Doxie says the last was 1985. I know BP was open for a while before the first Grad class but I thought it was open longer, my how times does fly. Thanks for the input. MG

Part ot the answer to this question..Bill Barr was the first graduate...Mark Barr's older brother

Doxie, Jerry has thrown down the gauntlet, he knew the first BP Grad, who was the last to walk the stage in 1985?, just having fun with the site dont think too hard! LOL I was a short timer there so it is just interesting to me who remembers what. MG

One bit of historical trivia about Berney Points Church's move in March '93...their first service in Hoover was postponed one week because of the Blizzard of '93.

If I had to guess, I would say Robert Winter. (just by virtue of the last name).

Hello, I was going to BP church in 1993 and I remember her wedding and think his name was Brian, he played on the church softball team, that's the only thing I remember... I'm old and my memory is getting bad.....
