Our class presented this to CLCHS this morning. Thanks to all who attended & especially to Janus Ross who recreated that masterpiece and Tom Stephani who shepherded it through the whole process.
Many thanks to those who donated to help make that happen. Your names are on the back of the picture.
This project came about after a tour of the high school at the 50th reunion revealed the need for it. It had been destroyed in a flood in a past year.
Also the names of all who worked on the committee to make the 50th reunion happen are on the back of the picture with special thanks to Jackie Donner who headed up many class reunions over the years.
There today were Doug Bailey, Tom Stephani, Jack Heisler, Judy Visin, Sue Hall, Janus Ross and Linda Barango Heisler.

The new class picture is finished and ready to be presented to CLCHS. I'd like to get a group of classmates together to do this. If interested, let me know at tom@custombuilding.com. I talked with a few of you already. Unfortunately it was at Jeri Stephen's service. It was a nice gathering of friends and family. She will be missed by many.

Tom, our whole class thanks you for doing this.
Janus Rose, thank you for the creation of this class pucture.
August 2019
We are close to having a finished reproduction of our class picture for the High School.
The original was irreparably damaged in a flood some years ago.
Tom Stephani worked to raise money and arrange for Janus Rose to work her magic using the senior yearbook and commencement program to create this masterpeice.
They will next be working on getting it printed and framed and presented to our CLCHS to have it displayed.
Thanks to those who made donations to make this happen and especially to Janus for making this happen!

Remember the class pictures that hang in the hallways
near the offices at CLCHS?
Most are still there.
Some years ago the pictures from the '60's were in storage during a renovation when a flood caused irreparable damage. Some classes have raised donations to have theirs recreated from old yearbooks and reinstalled at CLCHS.
Some of us from our Class of '67 think we should do the same.
Tom Stephani has stepped up to make this happen for us. He's communicated with a fellow who has done prior restorations and seen how he can take an old yearbook, correct the colors and remove any writing over the pictures.
It's a big job that costs between $750 and $900.
Now it is up to us to raise the money to make it happen.
With 80 of us on the clchs67.com website we think we can get this done without too much effort or financial inconvenience for anyone.
Please send your donation payable to Tom Stephani and mail to
P.O. Box 98, Crystal Lake, IL 60039
We suggest a $20 donation but larger amounts will be gladly accepted.
Should excess be collected, it will be banked for future reunion activities.

Your 50th Reunion Committee thanks ALL OF YOU for support and for attending the 50th events and keeping our Class of '67 together.
We also honor all those who worked on the prior reunions which must have been SO much more difficult without the social media/Internet help. Especially thanks to Jackie Donner Peters!
Let's keep it going! The website clchs67.com will be up for at least another 4 years. Let's keep it building, then renew it for another 5 years or even more.
Please keep inviting classmates to join our FaceBook group, CLCHS Class of 1967, and our website.
Please send me pictures to add to the both sites or you can upload them yourselves. These are YOUR Class of '67 sites to use to communicate with all. I'm just your techie.

What a great time we all had on Friday and Saturday! Thanks to all who attended and supported.
Many of you indicated you wished you could have attended but were unable. We missed you and hope to see you next time. Stay in touch!
One sad omission in my opinion and that is that we failed to recognize Jackie Donner Peters for all her work on past reunions. She, more than anyone, has held our class together over these years. We thank you from the bottom of our hearts Jackie! And Thanks to all the others who created reunion events over the years.
Class of '67 Forever!
(Pictures will be posted soon. Email any of yours to me that you would like included.)
