2018 WINTER Newsletter

Here it is – another spectacular view into the lives of our mighty Saxons.  This issue is showing two celebrations we had.  One in the spring, one in the fall – per your request.

Next newsletter theme may be about what you were doing during the Columbus Day Storm, 1962.  Send me your story.  Where were you when the storm hit, what did you do to get home, or if home, how did your home/property survive, and what memories do you have of your life at that time living without electricity for a week or more.  Send your comments to any of us on the contact page.

Thanks to classmates responding with their opinions, we are going to try for two celebrations in 2018.  In May, (15, 16 or 17th)  we are working on a gathering at a winery.  Cost will be minimal.  

September 8, 2018, we will celebrate with a function at Creekside Golf Course.  Details will be sent in the spring of 2018.  Save those dates.

Oh my gosh, it’s been awhile.  I hope if you see this note that you will let me know.  We are trying to decide whether to cancel the website.

At any rate, we have just published the next newsletter.  I’ve sent it to everyone that has an e-mail.  If you didn’t receive the newsletter, make sure we have your current contact information.  We are not sending out paper copies any more.

YAH!!!!  We are in the middle of a 70th Birthday Celebration for the Class of 1963.

2016 SSHS WINTERWEB

Your newsletter staff has decided to publish the newsletter only on the web.  We are sending out a notification to those classmates that have requested hard copies.  We need you to update us even more on new contact information.  E-mail notification will continue with the newsletter attached.  Monies contributed to newsletters will continue to pay for maintaining our webpage and for occasional postcards/printing/postage needs to communicate with the Class of 1963.

Check out the pictures of our Combined 70th Birthday Party in recent articles.  In the reunion section of this web, you will find pictures of a mini-reunion at Stangland Winery in 2014.

Enjoy our combined 70th birthday celebration at Best Little Road House. Then go to the reunion page and check out the mini-reunion in September 2014 at Stangland Winery. Our next newsletter will be coming out soon.

We celebrated our combined birthdays at a mini reunion at the Best Little Roadhouse in Salem Oregon on June 20, 2015.

If you want to let folks know what’s happening here in my neck of the woods with the lava flow I’ve found that this link is the best update for views and information.  The flow front remains about 6 miles South of our home so it is a concern but it is not moving our direction at this time so in my mind it is not a major concern.

I would think that any of our Vulcanologists from SSHS would find it as fascinating as I do.

2014 SSHS WINTER.  The new Winter Newsletter for the Class of 1963

Dan withers article.

The Spring 2015 newsletter will have pictures of the 2 mini-reunions held in September 2014.  The first was at Stangeland Winery in Salem.  We had 32 participants.  The following week, there was a mini reunion in Seattle.  Chris Holm Kline organized a gathering and a tour of the Seattle Art Museum.  We always appreciate new communications, pictures,  or articles for future newsletters.

Our classmate Kris Campbell LOCKARD has just written and published a mystery novel Green Ridge.  Cost is $15.95 plus $3 shipping.  Contact Kris LOCKARD or sshs63.com if you would like to purchase.  More information in the spring newsletter.

We also got word that classmate Max L. Huff who passed away in October.  His picture will be added to our Memorial page.

We had 35 people attend the mini-gathering at Stangeland Winery, thanks to Gail Miller Jones and Larry Miller for hosting.  Thanks also to Ann Byerley Wineland for keeping track of the RSVP for planning.  Thanks to Frieda Flint and Ron Cross for taking pictures.  Thanks to the committee for providing appetizers and supporting this fun event.

You can view the pictures in a Power Point show.  It may take a moment to load on your computer.  Progress through the pictures by clicking your computer mouse.2014-mini-reunion
