Welcome to our newest Alumna
Colleen Field (Petrando)
What Happened in 1978?
Another Year bit the Dust!
Everything we've experienced in life
won't stop the planets from spinning,
on and on, year by year...
Everyone an individual
Everyone special
Everyone taking a different path through life;
The next several years we will grow;
older, smarter, and if we are fortunate,
sometimes wiser;
Years in which we will lose;
things
and
sadly
Friends and Family,
Possessions will get misplaced
Memories will fade
Friends will part ways
The best friends, we try to hold on to
This is what counts in life
Isn't it?
Ask your Sexagenarian self two questions:
1) Would you attend the 'BIG 50' Golden in the fall 2028?
2) Would you atend the Las Vegas 'BIG 50' Golden in the spring of 2028?
or as
Mr. 500, 'Mr. Cub', #14, Earnie Banks said,
"Let's Play Two!"
The reason for Two Reunions is simple,
1) It may be one of the last good reunions
2) Many have moved etc., no reason to return to Glenview
3) Las Vegas is a great hub to reunite.
Las Vegas is not going downhill as some profess on the net
and if you do it right, it will not break the bank!
<--------Look at the Las Vegas 'BIG 50' on the left tabs Links
Ask Rick Daniels, a Las Vegas local resident, 1978 alum and
United Airlines Captain for over 30+ Years!
He's our local Sexagenarian and can answer most questions
or feel free to reach out to his Degen here

Speaking of Sexagenarians
1/3 of the Class of '78 are living in Illinois
2/3's in other areas of our blue marble
Classmates living on both coasts
Some in the south and others in the north
Some in other countries!

Can you Name Everyone?
Reunions aren't about...
Waistlines, Hairlines, or Credit lines
They're about Lifelines
Reunions are about reconnecting with our friends
from some of the best years of our lives...
It's about caring for our classmates,
teachers and their families - our families!
♦ Recoginize ♦
We're not getting older...
We're becoming a classic!

The dream begins with a teacher who believes in you,
who tugs and pushes and leads you to the next plateau,
sometimes poking you with a sharp stick called "truth."

Did you know that there are 6 different Glenbrook South Classes
on the Class Creator Web Site!
A big 'THANK YOU' to the 1965 class for using us as a referral!
We give the ClassCreator Web Site and team members
many plugs due to their
outstanding service,
response, support and communicating system all in one place.
You can't get that from any other web site!
There are no other social networking systems like this
on the internet used specifically for communicating for all sorts of reunions:
e.g.: Military, Class, Medical, College, Family, High School, Jr. High School
Facebook, Instagram, Twitter Snapchat etc. don't hold water compared
to the bells and whistles on the 'ClassCreator site
There are no fees and we don't phish you in, like:
'Classreunions', 'Alumniclass' etc.
to join and come to find out that you can't do anything unless you pay a fee
and
There is NO DATA collection or spamming EVER!
This Web Site is Secure
Unlike other online platforms, privacy—not profit—is our main concern.
We are a secure, ad-free community that never sells your data.
We wish to Thank the ClassCreator Team for all their help!

One looks back with appreciation to the brilliant teachers,
but with gratitude to those who touched our human feelings.
The curriculum is so much necessary raw material,
but warmth is the vital element for the growing plant and for the soul of the child.
~Carl Jung
The dream begins with a teacher who believes in you,
who tugs and pushes and leads you to the next plateau,
sometimes poking you with a sharp stick called "truth."
