The Sexagenarian 46 Year Reunion isn't 
 a significant number, but why wait until the 'BIG 50'?
Reunions aren't about...
Waistlines, Hairlines, or Credit lines
They're about Lifelines
It's 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!
- Remember -
We're not getting older...We're becoming a classic!
Make plans to reconnect with someone today,
you'll be glad you did!

Life is fleeting...


 



You Know You Are Getting Old When:
You realize that caution is the only thing you care to exercise
or
The pharmacist has become your new best friend

Families relocated to Glenview to train at 'The Base'
Do you remember watching the Blue Angels taking off and landing
(Look on bottom Announcements for the' Heros on Deck' videos)

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."

Stanley Field Jr. High


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?
Ice Breaker at Glenview House

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
