Donna......ha,ha,ha,ha......bikini clad gal.......barely remeber! I laughed myself to sleep last night! Did you or Don come up with that?

OK then, Queen of Palms, I will post other things from long ago & give that bikini gal a break. I don't want to get stripped of my privileges.

Great idea for community service honors, Donna! Billy Wilson may have a shot, as I heard through the grapevine he has been "Bermuda's Ambassador of Love" for the past 30 years. Seriously though, it is truly a super idea & I'm sure you'll get lots of posts.

Now for all my Hornet Mateys who have been waiting it out, NOW is the time to get on the fun list. Our 50th will be a blast! Think about it......really think about it! FIFTY YEARS! That's an accomplishment we can all rejoice  in! There's a bunch of us that aren't with us anymore. There's a bunch of us that have fantastic careers & families! So get up & get that check book or magic card & let Ellrich know your a coming and still love him. Donna & lots of others that have spent several years planning this baby NEED to know how many are gonna be in this Swarm of a lifetime! In addition, I'm asking you to contact your other Green Hornet friends to also spend  48 hours of pure fun, fellowship, & fun on the best beach in the world!

Just some notes: You don't have to spend both days & you don't need to stay at the Resort. You can attend just  "The Swarm" Fri. eve (free) or just "Thee Reunion" Sat. eve ($69/head). Also, at the Resort you can book days prior to Fri. & book days after Sat. at the discounted rate for extra R&R! Alot of us will be hanging at the beach & pool during the day that weekend, and many will be prepping the Civic Center for Saturday's grand event, so your most welcome to join in or lend a hand! There won't be any pay at the door Saturday, so no payey in advance, no eaty, and no party!

Note that Donna has asked PLEASE send your checks, so do it now! There's a rumor going around that she just may put on that bikini if the committee's attendance goal is reached!

Phil Brooks

Donna Day in a BIKINI.... Thats the main reason I'm coming to the Swarm!!!! (I remember when that pic was taken) and of course. I hope to see Hood, Willis, Doll, Rhine, Rim, Russ, Tim D.,Larry Bach, Dave E. Nancy Brown, Bev Griffin, Donna Samples, Linda Frahn, Carol Goff, Penny Misener, Franny, Patty Jackson, just to name a few...

Ron Doll

Right on Big Dog Phil! That's the attitude we're looking for!

There are exactly 60 days until we Swarm in on Singer Island, so we damn well should be getting fired up!  60 days until us 69ers celebrate our 50th. I know that's alot of numbers for Robinson, Bach, DeLosh, & Ruskay to absorb, so hopefully Ellrich or Laurie will see this post & explain it all to them.

Bikini or no bikini, Phil, the big event is just around the corner, so our mates should not wait another day to sign up. Total attendance is needed, PLEASE! Come join the fun. I get the feeling I'm back at one of our RBHS pep rallies the afternoon before a home battle against Belle Glade when Coach suddenly handed me the mic & asked me to say something..... all I could say was "Let's Get Fired Up".... about ten times!

There's been talk of this 50th may be our last organized big reunion. Last, yes, the last big gig! There's always a huge amount of work & planning that is required, so it well may be our last one of this caliber. To my undecided mates, keep this in mind! I hope we do get together in the future, however, I doubt it will be this cool!

Glad your getting fired up Phil, SIXTY DAYS and counting!

Pamela Cherry

Way to GO you two!  What a GREAT Pep Rally you give! 

Just remind everyone to get their MOOLA BOOLA $$$ into Dave Ellrich.  

 ( Nobody wants his consternation directed to them! ) 

 Looking forward to seeing everyone!

Steve McLaughlin

Okay, you all have spurred me to finally get off my butt and send in my check today. I did make reservations a few months ago, but now the process is complete. Looking forward to catching up...

Ron Doll

That's the spirit, Stevie Wonder! You are truly wonderful! Now that your off your butt, get fired up! Maybe try to sound a tad more excited cause, as you know, lots of mates are dragging their feet! Hell, when they see you all fired, up who knows how many will follow suit! You lit a fire, now rage on!

To our other maties, get your 69 bucks into Dave....that's only 276 quarters! Please believe me, Donna & committee need to know NOW how many are attending Sat's reunion to make this work! Friday's Swarm won't need a head count. Oh yeah, I was told Lott , Bubba, & Rhine don't know what a head count is. Heard they thought it had something to do with cabbage.

So be like Big Steve and make it happen.... this weekend! That's my challenge to you for the next 48 hours.

Thanks Steve, can't wait to catch up! 57 days and counting.

Ron Doll

Patti Jackson (Weeks)

Check is in the mail, & here we come! See you at the end of May! Yippee!

Ron Doll

Way, way awesome Patti! Look forward to seeing you! So happy you'll be there. I get more fired up each day!

Let's hope more mates follow suit! I'll check in with Donna & Ellrich for new sign ups.

53 days & counting.........

Ron Doll

Dearest Donna, you got update on new sign ups for our 50th gala? Is Ellrich paying attention or is he just sitting back counting beans? Not sure he's gettin fired up. Maybe he forgot how to?

51 days and counting...... was born in 51, ha!

Rita Jenkins (Wright)

Looking forward to seeing everyone next month!

Elaine Walters (Vandekerckhove)

Great to hear from all the “mighty Hornets”.  Looking forward to renewing some old acquaintances. The post from big John broght back many memories that included the years I worked with his dad (RIP). Mark and I are both excited to attend this seriously monumental event! The check is in the mail.

Ron Doll

Meehan: Great that Wilson & Robinson finally got their fire lit! Good job 68 lighting their fuses! I'm happy to see your fired up & ready for our Good, Bad, & Ugly pregame cal to start! I know McLaughlin is! I hope to see the numbers 72 & 83 on 84's list very soon.

Thanks to Elaine & Mark for signing up! "Mighty Hornets"........ I like that Elaine & it will be fun to see & visit you & our fellow mates. For our maties that are still considering whether or not to join in, it makes no difference if you haven't been to a single reunion, or if you've been to em all, you will be most welcome at this one for sure! After all, it may be the last big one we will EVER have! Really think about that you all.

And yes, Elaine, for Wilson to let go of 69 smackers is a seriously monumental event!

47 days & counting............

Thanks for the update, Donna, Queen of all Palm Trees!

My count says 89 folks are gonna have some terrific fun in 44 days!

Let's see if some more mates want to join in the party?? 

It ain't too late, so if your not on her list, your gator bait!

Katherine (Kathy) Donnelly (Schreiber)

I sent my money in this week for two.  Donna I have the banner.  Who or where should I send it for year change?  

Donna Day (Bailey)

yay!! Can u bring it to meeting on May 9 th ? I will fix it. I have skills. 

Sue Flickinger (Peacock)

Ok, all you 69ers. We are not that old yet but we are probably one of the best classes that old high school has seen and we don't forget good times! 

I look forward to seeing you all, and catching up!

Sue Flickinger (Peacock)

Donna Day (Bailey)

Since most of the committee is vacationing, I am postponing the reunion committee meeting planned for May 9th. There is only last minute stuff to do so we can meet at the Palm Beach Shoes Community Center (where our Saturday night event is being held ) on Thursday -May 23 at 4:00. Please try and make it and I hope anyone with ideas for decorating downstairs into a tropical paradise or surfer hang out shows up!! (We are wide open for ideas!!)

Pass the word about the our plans and encourage all classmates and friends to come out Friday night -it should be so fun!!! And of course -send in money for Saturday night to Dave.  Information is on web site www. 69rbhs.com. And on Facebook RBHS class of 1969.  

Ron Doll

Freindly reminder, 26 days til OUR 50TH & FINAL WELL ORGANIZED REUNION!

Yes....... only 26 days remain until we go back in time, to sixtynine, it will be so fine, so send your dime!

It's not too late to get your $69 bucks to Dave. You can send your checks or call him with your card @ (561) 624-0355. (and that's Dave Ellrich, not Dave Garniss). It's down to the wire, Donna NEEDS to know NOW how many Hornets will be attending Saturday's Reunion!

Bob, great pic of you & your shark friend, very cool you will be there! So awesome we will see Queen Hornets Kathy & Sue as well! I can say we are definitely getting fired up! To all my maties that are on the fence, get off your butts & come enjoy the fun! As Donna said, at least join us in Friday's SINGER HORNET SWARM warm up. (say that 5 times real fast).

So, get your groove on & get fired up!

Hunter Joslin

I sent my check 10 days ago. Please add my name to the master list! Thanks, Hunter
