Letting the Dust Settle
August 29, 2013 By
After such a fun filled weekend, and seeing many new and old friends, I hope you are getting rested, for some of you traveled a great distance. I reflect on the word travel, because we have all come to appreciate where we are, and how far we have come in these 50 years. We identified ourselfs in high school by the classes we took, the people we associated with, the goals and expectations of our parents and our peers. Thank goodness that definition has eroded over time.
If you have not read the biographies on the web, I hope you take time to do that. People have such interesting and diverse lives. If you hurry and submit your own biography by September 20, your biography will be included in a published version with over 100 other classmates. ORDER FORM BIOS CD
If you attended the Saturday night event and did not sign up for a CD of pictures taken by Megan Powell, let me know. Those CD’s will be printed soon and sent to you at no cost. If you did not attend the reunion but want a CD of the pictures from Saturday night, you can order a CD for $5. ORDER FORM BIOS CD

With the reunion on August 23 & 24, we are very excited at the registration numbers. We have 149 registered with 9 or 10 classmates saying they still are planning on attending. 80 classmates have sent in their biographies with 3 more in the edit stage. That’s very impressive.
