RHS 1970 Reunion Update

The 40th Reunion is the weekend of Oct 8th 2010


May 19th 2010
According to the class of 1970 Reunion Team: RHS 1970 40th Reunion

Things are heating up. We sent an email last week to all 268 of you for whom we have email addresses. If you did not receive it, let Irene Nagy know (gardendesign@bellsouth.net). The email created a stir of activity. 80 classmates have RSVP’d as coming. Newcomers include: Jim Stroker, Eric Scofield, Peter Rita (coming all the way from Japan), Kathleen Keating, Andy Rork, Barbara Hall, Gloria Thornton, Kathy Lauerman, and Cleveland Marsh. Susan Egerton has been found in Tenn, and is off the “missing” list. The Thompson triplets have been located (great to find them). We are sending postcards to the 451 classmates for whom we have street addresses by not emails. We are now too big for the Elks Club on Fri night Oct 8 (a good problem). We are looking for a bigger place.

Apr 6...Up to 73 classmates have RSVP'd as coming. In the last month the following have declared: Bev Florance, Christine Nienaber, Patti Staehle, Marsha Golla, Virginia Zabrinski, Denise Durvette, Kathy Baker, Susan Main. Our first teacher has RSVP'd (Don MacKay). Sandy Hawley has been found in eastern PA. This sounds weird but hopeful: we have word that Christine Armstrong is not dead (pls contact us if you have info).

In April we will do a second emailing and a second post card mailing (if we don't have email address). So look for that.

Mar 6...Blogs for each Elementary School: Classmate Judy Schoneman has created a blog for Willard School classmates http://willard64.blogspot.com/. It has been so successful that we will create a blog for each Elementary School, and ask you to send photos and re-connect. We will let you know more about this.
