70th Birthday Bash!
Posted Monday, August 24, 2020 12:39 AM

Hello all my Chatsworth High School classmates, graduates, friends, and family!

We have had a pretty tight group over the years. In fact, in addition to our regular Decade Reunions, we decided at our 30th reunion that we didn't want to wait another 10 years to get together again. (Keep in mind that we were all about 48 years old at that time, and had already had dozens of classmates pass away.)

So we came up with the idea of a 50th and subsequently a 60th Birthday Bash! The math is simple, as most of us were born in 1950; some in '49 and a few in '51. That way we had an excuse to gather as a group and have some fun and even more reminiscing, rather than wait another 10 years. As many of you can understand, old friendships are precious, and the miles have become even greater for some of us to rendezvous.

And now the reason for this post: As you all know, this COVID 19 thing has thrown a wrench in a lot of our lives and plans. We had hoped to gather at the Westlake Golf Club venue this Fall, but with the current ban on groups comprising more than 10 humans, it looks like it will not happen this year!

I regret to announce that our 70th Birthday Bash is formally canceled. Hopefully, many of you will be able to communicate en masse with one another via our Class website, or other social media. Haha, perhaps even via telephone, mail, or a webinar! Keep your eyes and ears peeled to this site and the "Remembering our Chatsworth Friends" site, because who knows, something may still open up for us. At this point, it doesn't look bright!
 
Bottom line: Happy 70th Birthday to all of the class of 1968 (and those of you of 1967 and 69) who are turning or turned 70 this year! (BTW, there is at least one of our Class who will not turn 70 until next year because she skipped a grade, but we don't hold that against her!) Blessings to you all and your families!

Thanks John for the update. Disappointing news that the big event had to be canceled. It would have been fun to celebrate our 70th birthday bash get together. Take care.
