More Photos and Some Updates

Louise Owen
Hi Folks,

Linda, despite being a crazed shut in for the past few weeks, is still hunting photos for both the class and for teachers as well. She contacted Louise Owen who is still around in Evanville and doing well. Before you know it, she'll be zipping around the Westside in the little red Smart car again, unstoppable as ever.

Patty Qualls also got a photo of the previously elusive Phyllis Day.

We are starting to plan some of the elements of Reunion, namely T-Shirts, getting pricing and logo styles and such. We will be announcing details as soon as the research phase is complete. As with everything else we have done in class related items, we will be doing our best to keep pricing affordable to get the broadest participation possible. Reunion theme decorations are starting to float around in the air in as yet idle speculation too.

We found out from Larry Broerman that the R-Men decided to have their Golf Outing on the Friday of Reunion weekend instead of the usual Saturday. That just eases the event crowding on Saturday so the golfers can also do the school tour on Saturday morning.

The response to the Class Cruise Vacation is starting to build. We actually have a half dozen reservations already and verbals for about 20 more (after all, it's a year away, and the miserable sleety snowy weather outside this morning certainly makes me think fondly of the Caribbean that we left only 3 weeks ago.) Yes, we know it's not cheap, but it ain't a john boat on the Ohio either. It promises to be a truly memorable (and better yet, sharable) vacation worth saving for. David Fritz strongly suggests that reservations be made by April so that favorable room accommodations can be secured. After that, the more desirable locations may be gone.

I for one am truly gratified by the wonderful response from the veterans of the class including many photos from the way-back machine.
