Many thanks to Sue and Nancy for your efforts to get our class together for our 20th reunion (not an easy task!). This and the Myspace page are great! You gals rock!
20 years... do you remember when someone was 37 or 38 and you thought they were OLD? I don't know if I can make the reunion or not (who knows what the future may bring) but it would be good to see everyone again. I hope everyone is doing well.
thanks for taking the time to participate in this. sue and i are hoping that by having 1 or 2 places for the info that this will make planning this thing a little easier! sue did a great job creating this, didn't she??
i am really looking forward to seeing all of you! i know we have all said this, but i can't believe it's been almost 20 years. where did that time go?
i am going to make a collage of pictures for the reunion. soooo....if you have a couple pictures of jr/sr high that you are willing to donate, please send them to me:
4495 grand lake dr #311 brunswick, oh 44212 330-410-4266
please make sure that you put your name on the back, so i can try to return them to you. try. i can't promise anything. it might be the 30th reunion before you get them back!! ha!
Thank you for all of the kind words...all of my friends have been wondering when I am going to have time to plan a reunion! I do this EVERYDAY for Time Warner Cable and needless to say, we are in our busy season and I have 11 events this month for work....and raising triplets!
However, I am truly excited about the reunion and I know with everyone's help, we can pull this off!
I have a GREAT sidekick, Nancy...you rock, girl!
Can't wait to see everyone! If you have ideas or comments, PLEASE share them with us...
Can someone please relate to me how Amanda Winters and Kristin Ewers passed away. You can send a message if you feel that would be more appropriate. Thank you in advance.
Okay so 20 years seems like it just flew by, but look at all the 80's stuff that is back in style, that should allow us to subtract a few years off right?
Great work on the site gals, let me know if you need anything, I'm much easier to deal with these days!!! lol
Nancy and Sue, Thanks so much for all you do and have done so far to pull all of us together again after 20 years. I look forward to meeting up with everyone and catching up on life. This will be a great time, I'm sure. Take care and be safe. I'll see everyone soon. Shannon
DOES ANY OF THIS SOUND FAMILIAR - IT'S "YOU MIGHT BE FROM THE 80's IF".....
1. You've ever ended a sentence with the word SYKE. 2. You can sing the rap to the Fresh Prince of Bel-Air and can do the Carlton 3. You know that 'WOAH' comes from Joey on Blossom 4. If you ever watched 'Fraggle Rock' 5. It was actually worth getting up early on a Saturday to watch cartoons. 6. You wore a ponytail on the side of your head. 7. You got super-excited when it was Oregon Trail day in computer class at school. 8. You made your mom buy one of those clips that would hold your shirt in a knot on the side. 9. You played the game 'MASH'(Mansion, Apartment, Shelter, House) 10. You wore stonewashed Jordache jean jackets and were proud of it. 11. You know the profound meaning of ' WAX ON , WAX OFF' 12. You wanted to be a Goonie. 13. You ever wore fluorescent clothing(some of us...head-to-toe) 14. You can remember what Michael Jackson looked like before his nose fell off and his cheeks shifted. 15. You have ever pondered why Smurfette was the only female smurf. 16. You took lunch boxes to school...and traded Garbage Pailkids in the schoolyard. 17. You remember the CRAZE, then the BANNING of slap bracelets. 18. You still get the urge to say 'NOT' after every sentence. 19. You thought your childhood friends would never leave because you exchanged handmade friendship bracelets. 20. You ever owned a pair of Jelly-Shoes. 21. After you saw Pee-Wee's Big Adventure you kept saying 'I know you are, but what am I?' 22. You remember 'I've fallen and I can't get up' 23. You remember going to the skating rink before there were inline skates. 24. You have ever played with a Skip-It. 25. You remember boom boxes and walking around with one on your shoulder like you were all that. 26. You remember watching both Gremlins movies. 27. You thought Doogie Howser/Samantha Micelli was hot. 28. You remember Alf, the lil furry brown alien from Melmac. 29. You remember New Kids on the Block when they were cool...and don't even flinch when people refer to them as 'NKOTB' 30. You knew all the characters names and their life stories on 'Saved By The Bell,' The ORIGINAL class. 31. You know all the words to Bon Jovi - SHOT THROUGH THE HEART. 32. You just sang those words to yourself. 33. You still sing 'We are the World' 34. You tight rolled your jeans. 35. You owned a bannana clip. 36. You remember 'Where's the Beef?' 37. You used to (and probably still do) say 'What you talkin' 'bout Willis?' 38. You're still singing shot through the heart in your head, aren't you!
I keep checking back hoping my old friend Dennis Smith will pop up. The last time I saw Dennis was at his dad's funeral. Both of our wifes were pregnant. He was down in the Cincinnati area (on the Kentucky side from what I remember). Man I miss that guy. Dennis, where are you?
Wow..can't believe how diverse the class as become. Looking over the various people and from a population and location sampling standpoint, it is incredibly varied. Hard to believe it's been this long. Seems like only yesterday I was listening to coach yell at me.
Think you feel old? Try riding cross country on a chopper. Praise the Lord for muscle relaxers and biker boys volunteering to rub my abundant posterior.
Does anyone know how to reach Lorie Zuber (Berger)? I sent a Christmas card to the last address I had for her in Rittman and it was returned.
Was planning a ride to Ohio this summer anyhow. Tentative date now set to coincide with the reunion. I vote for full open bar. Alcohol surely will help us ease down memory lane.
Thanks Sue. Don't know how you can manage this and triplets. One small boy is more than I can handle. C
its getting down to the wire..if any of you are actually reading this, and you volunteered to make a donation, please get in touch with sue or me. we need to start collecting money so we can secure things. we appreciate the help!!! there are still plenty of people that we are missing...take a look and see if you can help there too!!
