ALBANY, GA -- Several kids of the 70's got together at Thronateeska Train Depot Saturday night to reminisce!

Ricky Willis left Albany 36 years ago, and with the help of Lisa Johnston, started a Facebook page to keep in touch.

Well, that snowballed into a reunion!

“And people started coming up with 'remember when we used to go to the arctic bear?’, or remember when we used to do this and Jimmie’s Hot Dogs, and that sort of thing, just reminiscing and then everybody wanted to get together,” said Johnston.

They're also planning an event in the spring in Panama City.
