Hey everyone! More people have registered on our website!! Now that postcards have gone out, we are expecting alot more to follow. Yahooooooo, that is wonderful.

Also wanted to let you know the great news! We have reserved the hospitality room in the Medina Inn for after the ballroom event Saturday night (until 3am) and then for the next morning (8am-1pm) That way classmates can hang out and visit late into the evening or the next day.

Don't forget to make your reservations, we have a block of rooms at the Medina Inn. We have also noted on our 40th Reunion page other properties that are available in the Plymouth area.

For those that cannot attend perhaps sending a CD with voice and pics will help them keep in touch. Set up a power point presentation. Just a thought! Or a live streaming cam to sit in on the fun... Conference calls.
You are all making this a great site and check in point for contacts...hats off the leaders Billy and Shirley. BONNIE OF COURSE!!

OK, "jabberbox here". So much fun on the site today. Finding Doug and Mina talking in the Message Forum is the best. I agree with Mina - I love the site and love more and more classmates on it and love the Message Forum - oh, and would someone please leave a profile comment for me, please???? I'm still waiting for the first person to have something okay to say publicly about me - that's scarey ya know!!!!! Be Nice!!!! :) P.S. - lots of other classmates haven't had a "public" profile comment yet - it's fun leaving some memories there. Then we can all get in on the memories - even some that might not be ours, but we probably heard about it walking the halls in '69!!! Jog the memory - it's good for a 57 year old!! (Yup, I know, some of you are 58!!) TONY - THANKS for trying. To leave a profile comment you have to click on the bottom bar to leave a message for your classmate, don't put it in the message box.

This website is the COOLEST thing since I finally acquired a computer. Most of the time it's just e-mail junk and occasional real letter. I've not been able to pull myself away from it since I first logged on. Memory Lane. Best trip I've been on in a long time. I check the site several times to see what's going on. Lots better than facebook. You already provide the list of contacts. Even though our class was small compared to the other city schools, it's difficult to remember everyone. I'll keep watching for updates and new comments. Thanks to those responsible for putting this together. I believe I can unEarth some memorobilia from the past. I still have my class ring, Craftsman lapel pin, and I recently came across a copy of a personal resume I did in Print class. Might take some digging, but Oh what fun!

Hi Anthony, that is so cool, glad you found your way to the website! Glad to see you are participating in the message forum too!

Whats up with that??? LOL

We know you have thoughts, let us hear from all of you.

Hi everybody. I've been reading the messages but have been hesitant to put in a response. I don't think that any of the people who have posted a message so far would know who I am. I kept a low profile in high school. No one from my Machine Shop class is participating. I'll get it started. Is there anyone from Machine Shop out there?

Hey Bill,

I do know who you are and I bet there are more on here that do. Do you know of any classmates that are on the missing list? Any help would be great.
Thanks for posting and please keep it up.

hope to see you at the reunion

Thanks Shirley, I can think of 2 more you didn't mention and that Michael R. wasn't in our class. Don't know who he is. Unfortunately Richard Stanchfield is on the deceased list. I still see Ken once in a while. He's on the "missing classmates" list. I'll call him and make sure he knows about the reunion. I guess I better confirm that I'm coming. Haven't done that yet.

Bill - I'll be working on a new slideshow soon. Ken Ferber will have to be in it. Get him interested and logged in!! Who were the names I missed. I actually just quickly went thru the "credits" at the back of the 69 yearbook and am not at all surprised that I missed some. We'll have to find out from Michael R. if there was a mistake and what trade he was in. Thanks - and thanks for the messages - We love this page!!!

Dean Drews and Randy Kuehn were missed. I left a message on Ken's phone and then flew off to Phoenix/San Diego/Vegas for a week. I'll try him again

Hey Bill

Thanks for getting involved with our missing list we should make a contest on who gets the most from their trades signed up and coming to the reunion.

OKAY BILLIE - YOUR ON - I'll have to get in touch to find out what information we have on the stenos phones, last names, addresses. I would call and work on this for Stenography if that's okay?? Watch out though Bill -stenographers are really good at making lists, alphabetizing them, calling people - ya know - that's part of what they do!!! No filing though - I don't like that job!
