Welcome to all our new friends from the CamRanhOrphan . I see you've mentioned Buckner Beans on your Twitter page! Thanks!

Buckner's favorite vegetable served to the Orphans were those red beans forever affectionately referred to as "Buckner Beans". Pretty good eat'n along with a hunk of corn bread and green onion! Oh yea! Sweet Tea!

Buckner Home Alumni Homecoming 2009 this year will be the first weekend of October. Go to the Homecoming Page. The dates are October 2nd, 3rd and 4th. Many of us Buckner Exes will gather on campus late Friday afternoon to visit then return for an all day visitation on Saturday. Saturday evening is the main event with dinner (usually catered BBQ) and presentations and prize raffles. Buckner Exes will return on Sunday morning for a Memorial Service then Worship Service. We will have lunch on campus Sunday then spend the remainder of Sunday hanging out, taking pictures and remembering those "Glory Days". If you have never attended a Homecoming, then you are truly missing out and owe it to yourself to join us. Click Here to download the 2009 Homecoming registration form.
