Arthur Grinnell

Hello all,

Art Grinnell here looking at the summer of 2016 and hoping to have a get together.

Trying to find a few 76 classmates to join with and put it together.

I have a venue, enthusiasm and a dream.

"Do you know" if you are having a 40th reunion....let us do it !

Johnathan Butterman

Sounds good Art! I'm 2200 miles away in NM, but I too was wondering the other day if we're gonna have a class of 76 reunion.

Charles A. M. Childes

Sounds great, Art.  Unfortunately I am 1500 miles away in Florida.  Not certain when I will get to Maine.

Arthur Grinnell

Thanks guys,we are going to have a reunion. Jim Christie is going to help with the planning and others will join right away. We have a few things in the works already. Lets keep this alive and well !

Charles A. M. Childes

Sounds GREAT!  If I am in Maine when it takes place....I will be there.

Johnathan Butterman

I got the message Art, I look forward to hearing more about the plans for the 40'th!

Jim Hale

Hey Art and Jim, thanks for picking up the ball for the 40th.  Hard to believe it's that big a number.  A few thoughts as one coming from out of town.  It was nice to have many organized activities that we could "make a weekend of it", but was disappointed that the "locals" did not want to attend some.  Frankly thought the $40 ticket for Hamburger Haven was steep and would not have attended if I were local, but was just rolled into the total cost for the trip.  Perhaps we could look to make the Saturday night more of an ala-cart to increase attendance.  Thoughts include having a cash bar and DJ for a lower cost, say $10, with the option to add a sit down dinner at market price?  Maybe have a photographer for a group picture with option to buy prints?   Really liked the cocktail party friday night last time, but would prefer a spot in Camden if possible.  Think adding an option for a brunch on Sunday for those that would like to attend could "wrap up" the weekend.  Many options available for Saturday during the day for those "out of towners" looking to do things together.    Regards, Jim

Jim and all others,

We are in the early stages of planning and each classmate will have a different vision of what works or what we would like to see. In moving ahead, I believe anyone that wants this 40th reunion and anyone planning to attend or try to attend, has everything needed to make it a success and enjoyable for all. Having enthusiasm for this event clearly says that you value your youth, your hometown and foremost,  your classmates which you have shared that time in your life.

Our 2016 reunion group felt we should ultilize Face Book for a depot of communication. We are looking into the possibility of revitalizing this site and will weigh the options. Here is a link to our newly started group. Currently there is no information there but we will roll out early, getting people onboard.  This site formerly operated by Wendy, works for updates and profiles. Do join here as well, suppling contact information in your profile.

Kimberly J. Strom-Gottfried

Hi Art and all - I'll sync in via Facebook, too. I defer to the wisdom and effort of the planners and will roll with whatever you decide and help in anyway I can from afar!! My only request is that we get a date ASAP so those of us from away can plan accordingly.

Be well,

 Kim

Jim Hale

Art, intent was to just offer some feedback on the 35th.  As I don't use Facebook, will just look for the date when it's available.  Earlier, the better.  Jim
