Did you know we have a published author within our class ranks?
Mark Lewis has written two books, When Are We? and its sequel Looking Both Directions, both published in 2010. When Are We? tells the story of two high school seniors, Mark and Gary, who set off for Florida on Spring break. What follows is a trip unlike any they thought they'd have. The sequel, Looking Both Directions, finds our two characters traveling across space and time to foil a plot most evil.
Both books are available for purchase on Amazon.com by clicking on the links below.

Another SHS reunion has come and gone and oh what a time we had!
My thanks and gratitude to the following classmates who graciously donated items for Saturday night's raffle. Without you, it wouldn't have been a success:
- Laura King
- Caroline Kaiser Metzger
- Jim 'Limpy' Clark
- Mike Hall
- Debbie Horneffer Elsey
- Annette Pieper Stone
- Jennifer Tooker
Thanks too, to McGilvery's Pub & Eatery, Big Woods and the Indianapolis Motor Speedway for their contributions.
Special thanks go out to Lynn Henderson Gayle for creating the table centerpieces and to Laura King and Caroline Kaiser Metzger for organizing the raffle. You ladies were terrific at what you did!
Also, thank you to the classmates who showed up early Saturday night and instantly pitched in to help set up our banquet room. I stood back and watched you all. It was just like old times. Denise 'Kenny' Albrecht, Lisa Geiger Bray, Lynn, Kathy Cassetty, Don Lash, Greg Cox...you were amazing!
And I would be remiss if I did not thank all those who attended Friday night's mixer and 'welcome back' bash at McGilvery's Pub and our dinner on Saturday night at 1911 Grill. Amongst the familiar faces were several classmates from so many years ago who showed up, surprising us all: Paul Tingle, Wendy Pierce Langebartels, Doug Schaffer, Michelle Williams Blystone, Gerry Euliss, Nancy Bourke Raub, Tom Owens, Delaine Derbyshire Warriner, Rocky Crouch, Sally Endres Burnell, Ritch Jordan, Cindy Wilhoite, Rick Wiggam, Connie Albright, Bryan Patterson and John Butterworth, to name a few. Scott 'Cyber' Eiler transfixed us all with a live version of 'Mack the Knife' (a.k.a. The Shark Bites), Laura King looked radiant in her self-made metro lights dress, Beth Sneyd Nickels showed us you can beat cancer and come out of it looking stunning, Elizabeth Warren (not that one!) was able to join us from 1,800 miles away by the miracle of FaceTime, Scott Golden called in late Saturday night to say 'hello', Jim Clark continues to humble us all with his commitment and drive in helping those who others see as 'lost causes' and has passed his inspiring traits on to his 9-year-old son Liam, I finally learned who threw the firecracker during the indoor pep rally (my respect and admiration for Richard Feeley has skyrocketed), Tim Lee understood the meaning of 'casual chic' attire and Stephen Hollenbeck wore beaded slippers that put Dorothy's red-sequined shoes to shame.
Finally, a huge thanks to my co-host and chair, Tim Niemann, whose insane wit and banter kept me going through all the planning and organizing. You sir, are a delight to be around and work with. Your instant recall of things from long past is uncanny, you know everyone in town, and you keep me laughing. I couldn't ask for a better sidekick.
I look back on it all and ask, 'was it not amazing?'
Until we meet again...
