Letting the Dust Settle

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

Tour of the School

Thank you to Rick Lacey, Weight Training Teacher at South Salem High School, for the great tour of the school.  We had 21 classmates and additional friends that toured the school this morning.  We are missing  Miles Schlesinger, Janet Auld Serman and Joyce Brothers Kart.  They were still trying to find their lockers.

Participation strong for the 50th reunion

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.  If you plan to play golf on Saturday with your classmates, make sure you are registered with Dan Hughes.  There is a separate fee and limited spots.

By The Way, Congratulations to Joyce Brothers Kart on her recent marriage in Sweden on July 20, 2013.

See you all in a few weeks to renew and celebrate our Class of 1963.
