OTHER ITEMS TO ADDRESS - We discussed making an effort to get our class banner from the high school. And, we are seeking ideas for a theme so we can appoint a Decorating Committee and decide on decorations for the event.
THESE ARE JUST THE HIGHLIGHTS. Please come to the April 5 planning meeting for a full review and update and an opportunity to express your ideas for making this the best reunion ever.
Wil Shirey agrees with Joyce Moody-Fletcher that the classmate sucking milk is Lewis Marrara. He also believes the classmate between Barbara Ondo and Paul Clarke is Sarah Lyons. Others are Jerriann Jury, Pauline Maloni, Helen Adam, Maybe Jim Stewart, Maybe Chuck Nelson, and David Schucker.
POP WEIDNER (aka Dennis Mollura) warms up (or down) as the class prepares to fathom the day's truths and unknowns.
We weren't exactly part of the "Beat" generation, but one of us could claim membership. The late, great Neil Buckley. Such wonderful memories of a truly memorable classmate.
Butch Davis, Ed Carns, Joanne Shimel, Joyce Shugarts and Chip Lawhead
