We had a great evening last night at Pastina's for our quarterly dinner. Great company, great food.
But after a while, the place was packed and the noise level made things difficult for those of us with hearing aids. We briefly talked about the idea of holding the quarterly dinners on a different night than Saturday (when it would not be so crowded), and perhaps even earlier than 5:30pm.
What say you? Under the old plan, our next quarterly dinner will be Saturday, February 1st (first Saturday of February, May, August and November). Should we do something different? Send me an email and let me know your thoughts!

Hello classmates of Riverside High School class of 1968. This is a new location for our class listings and information.
The class list has been imported and is based on records kept by Ruth Tenney Sprowls from the 40th Reunion, and updated as committee members identify new information. Class photos for the 1968 Beavers Tale have been uploaded. Some names do not have photos and we are searching for something appropriate.
Now we need everyone to log in to participate. Help us find missing class members!
The first thing to do is read the "First Time Visitors" section by clicking on the link in the top row. Many of your questions about privacy and more will be answered there.
Next, pay your respects to our fellow classmates who have passed away in the "In Memory" section. Let us know if we have missed anyone so we can honor them.
Third, find your name on the "Classmate Profiles" section again by clicking on the link on the top row. When you find yourself, click in and register your information. Again, those pages will have information about privacy, etc.
If you do not want to be listed here or ever contacted by your classmates, please write me on the "Contact Me" page and let me know. I will delete your name and all related information from the list. If you don't mind your name and photo being here, but don't want to be contacted by anyone, just remove your email and other contact information from your profile details.
Finally, please reach out to classmates you know and urge them to come and register here. We are missing some classmembers and want to have as many people included as possible. Also, if you see any ommissions or names that need correction, please let me know.
Karen Holp
