Hi again, sorry for the delay in updating but we are now gearing up for the next newsletter and the 50th reunion. I hope you will attend next year. As we prepare the final draft the the next newsletter, I’m reminded of how fragile life is and how important friendship is to our health. I hope you are making new connections with old friends. This next newsletter includes comments from Gary Allen. Gary made a big effort to also get others to write for us. Bernie (Stone) Barrett is credited with keeping our database updated and also bugging people to write in. Thanks to people that contribute short notes as well as helping to continue the financing of our newsletter and website, we remain SAXONS, who care about each other.
We had about 15 e-mails that bounced when we sent the last newsletter. Be sure to let us know if you move or change your contact information. We also appreciate your help finding people on the “missing classmate” list. We are happy to communicate about mini-reunions. Just let us know!!
September Get-together Planned for Puget Sound Area Classmates
An informal, mini-reunion is planned for Friday, September 23, Noon-4:00 pm, at the northeast Seattle home of Glen and Susan Johnson. Lunch will be potluck (salad, main dish, or dessert); cups, plates and utensils provided. Bring a beverage of your choosing. Come and enjoy some good conversation with “old” friends!
If you plan to attend, please email either Glen (gjohnson@u.washington.edu or call 206-527-8258) or Sue Gleckler Palmason (sgpquilts@hotmail.com). The address and/or driving directions will be provided to you. We look forward to seeing you there!
What fun to have a mini reunion in someone’s back yard. I actually think this party was in someone’s new shop. The class of 1963 can party anywhere.
This was the first attempt for our newsletter staff to host a mini-reunion. We decided to send out the word that we would meet at noon on Saturday of the Mt. Angel Oktoberfest. We had red & blue flowers, ribbons, signs, and a table ready for all classmates to join us. We waiting for an hour, then another hour, then another hour. As we determined no classmates would show, we proceeded in gathering people from the beer garten and made them honorary SAXONS. We took our picture with them, gave them Saxon ribbons, and cheered them on for being good sports. We know that many classmates have made efforts to get mini-reunions organized since then. The most successful have been the snowbirds that go to California and Arizona in the winter. If you have hosted a mini-reunion, let the newsletter staff know and we can post your successes on this website and in the next newsletter.
I’m working on adding pictures from the 20th reunion. If you have pictures from any of the reunions, please send them to BHC
