I believe that Jimmie Anne was able to reserve the Pelican Yacht Club for Saturday, June 8th.  We’ve used that location many times before, and it really makes a wonderful easy venue - especially since none of us are getting any younger and it eliminates much of the hard work of putting on an event.   It also lends itself to any kind of get-together, from completely casual to completely formal.  

Barbara Cleveland (Sinbine)

It’s a year away.  Other than the dates, nothing is set in stone.  It hasn’t even begun to be planned. Patty is seeking people to help plan and implement the plans.  If no one is willing to help, it makes it a little difficult for a “new leader” to even start to lead.  

Anita Beaver (Sloan)

Patty, I sent you an email but never got a response. I thought the decisions would be made by the committee as a team. I have seen nothing about a date to show up for the committee. The summer date is fine with me (as you say June 9, 1969 was our graduation). If you look at the survey though, you will see that the majority wanted casual vs. formal/informal. I do have a suggestion for a 2 member band that would not be too expensive but any band that we can afford would be great. As I said, I think everyone is waiting to get with you as a "team effort" to go over what our options are and to make these decisions. I would like to hear from our other classmates as to what their thoughts are. Thanks! 

Barbara Cleveland (Sinbine)

The survey was split evenly on the time frame.  I believe the weekend was decided upon because Jimmie Anne was able to reserve the Pelican Yacht Club 6/8.

The initial planning meeting for the 50^th Anniversary Party was held last evening.  We discussed venues and attire as well as the methods that we may use for registration of classmates and guests.  A few investigative assignments were made to those in attendance and we decided to meet again in 2 weeks.

It was decided that for attire we are going to leave it up to you.  You can come as the Queen of the Ball, The King of the Rodeo, Resort Chic, or whatever.   If shorts and Top Siders are your thing…come on in.

Those in attendance were:  Patty Ward Bieber, Lois Gordy, Linda Hays, Anita Beaver Sloan, and I.  Rick and Jimmie Anne stopped by to let us know how our bank account was looking for planning purposes.

The next meeting will be at 4:30pm Monday, August 13^th at 3015 Okeechobee Rd, Fort Pierce, FL 34947.  If you would like to join in the planning phase…Please be there and join in the fun.

Eagle Proud,

Here's a brief overview of what was decided upon at today's Class Reunion Meeting:

• The dates will be Friday and Saturday, June 7th & 8th of 2019 and both nights will be at The Pelican.  The Pelican largely because they will do the decorating pretty much for us (and clean up the mess).  We left Sunday open in the case that people want to get together on their own with friends who are in from out of town.
• There will be no price increase over the last reunion.  It will remain at $95.00.  Our cost per person will be in the $80 range.  The rest will be to pay the entertainment, etc.
• We are in the market for affordable entertainment who will play music that is from the era we graduated for Saturday night. Friday we plan on a low key DJ to mainly play background music so people can talk and get reaquainted.
• We also need a couple of volunteers.  First we need someone who has the capability and the time to print up the name tags.  Secondly, if we want to have the Eagle brought down from the Historical Museum...we will need someone for that job.
• It was also decided to invite members of other classes who would like to attend as well. 
• The class website will be setup to take reservations in the near future.  Donations toward scholarships will also be accepted. 

In addition to those attending the last meeting, Susan Waters Black,  Barbara Cleveland Sinbine, and Ford Sloan were also with us tonight.  We decided that our next meeting will be after the 1st of the year. 

Stay Tuned and Always Eagle Proud,

Tommy

Forty-nine years ago, it was October in our senior year of high school.  Think of how young we were then!  So different from today, and not just physically.   Yet, if we don’t look in the mirror, we still feel that young.  We once thought people who were :gasp: 67, were VERY old.  Now, we have re-evaluated our idea of old age.  I now personally think that 97 is “getting on up there!”  I hope all of you are planning on coming to our 50th Class Reunion next year.  If not, then consider rethinking your decision.  I’d love to see you all!

Linda Walters (Hays)

Barbara - you are so right.....67 " used" to be old....  Now it is young.  Lois and I have been saying for years that we are going to wear out not rust out.  I still have a lot of living to do.......and hope my classmates feel the same and look forward to seeing each other next year for the 50th reunion.  Proud Eagles~!

With Great Sadness, I just added Tim Sugg to our In Memory Page.  I also placed a link to his obituary there too. 

David Tillman

Goodbye my friend, we had some good times and great memories. You will surely be missed by many!

Lois Walters (Gordy)

Condolences to Sally and her family in the loss of Tim.  I have so many fond memories of Tim through our growing up in the same neighborhood and our years of school together.  He was always a leader in preparing for our class reunions.  We will miss him and pray for strength, peace and comfort for his family.
