Hello to everyone. I've seen so many familiar names on this website. I do hope we have name tags, because I don't know about recognizing everyone at the 50th reunion! So many years have passed. So many classmates have passed. :( Hopefully we can take this opportunity to reconnect. I am looking forward to saying "Hi" to as many of you as possible. I wish you all well and safe journeys. My husband and I will be traveling there from Texas in time for the Friday Night Get-Together. I hope if you see me there that you'll take a moment to say hello. A big "Thank You" to the classmates on the committee for putting this all together!
Hi Marta! Yes, we will have name tags. We will also have some yearbooks there, so you can see what we looked like back then. Bring your on yearbook. See you there. -Kent Manuel

My Beautiful...
If ever there were a luckier man, than I
There will days..
such as this...
tears fall like rain..
and cloud your vision..
letter's cease to form words..
words that could never
adequately express....
and everything else
will matter not
only that you have loved
and been loved by another..
it is in this way
that I will hold you
close to my heart..
Until the other end of time....
My best friend and the most beautiful woman in the world to me....and one of the finest, honest, human beings I have ever known...
So it is with sadness that I am writing to let you know, if no one else has already that Cynthia Starr Hunter-Hutchinson passed away April 16th, 2015 from brain cancer.. I was fortunate to have accompanied Cyndy to the reunion last year and met many of you. Cyndy and I, but especially Cyndy had a truly wonderful night and the love that was shown to her by t all of you (and especially her two best friends who sat at the table with us ...so sorry I don't recall your names, but her swim team partner was one, and another...please forgive me) was amazing...Thank you from the bottom of my heart...and for Cyndy.....

I finally checked out this web site today. I keep reminding George that this reunion is coming up soon and we need to register. When I clicked on the Lost Classmates page I saw there was a Joe Sutterlin listed. Oh my, there are two of them!!!!! That explains alot of the last 30 years. I wonder which one will show up at the reunion?
We look forward to seeing everyone on the 9th and 10th.

I have been called alot of things, but BUNS was not one. I am not even sure that I remember how that person got that name other then he had a big butt. I have been called CRAZY, not sure if that was my nickname or not. Hopefully I will be there Saturday, My job now is doing SATOP groups on the weekends and during the week. These are programs for people that have gotten DWI's and business is good. Love this job, collected lots of Drunk Driving stories some are great. Talked Joe Sumner into coming, he retired from the US dept. of Forest he was a special investigater, has a website check out his pictures at www.jlsumner.com. Great stuff.

One of the memories, there was one guy I considered the first "long-haired Hippie", he came back from Californa with a "hippie" chick and another lady that was from New Jersey that went to VET school at KS. The hippie chick always wore "patchouli" you could always tell that she had walked through Aggielville. About 4 years ago I switched from using alcohol based products to oil's and the one that suited me was "Patchouli", now everyone knows me due to my smell. Now does anyone remmeber who the long hair was???

Thanks to everyone involved for putting the Reunions together and the work involved on the website. It is greatly appreciated.

Gonna be some fun. [the party too]

Also, a ton of kudos to all that have put so much time and effort into putting this together.....what an effort! I know we all appreciate it more than you know.
Too many we will be missing that cannot show up.....all gone too early.

(1) I'll see David Bailey's bishop's bread, and raise him Manhattan school system pizza, whole wheat rolls, and peanut butter on celery stalks (hold the celery). (2) Before you call the "missing classmates" bureau to search for Mike Hoover you may want to check a Manhattan phone directory. (3) Rita Goldberger's comments on the tormentors and tormentees (who were the same people with some honorable exceptions) are well taken. (4) Jon Faubion ("If I had known how much fun it is getting old, I would have started sooner") vs. William Wordsworth-Ode on Intimations of Immortality from Recollections of Early Childhood-("What though the radiance which once was so bright-Be now forever taken from my sight-Though nothing can bring back the hour-Of splendor in the grass, of glory in the flower-We will grieve not, rather find-Strength in what remains behind.") Jon Faubion-hands down. Mr. Wordsworth was too overwraught. (5) Many thanks to the committee-we'll see you there.

I hope everyone comes to this reunion. The committee worked very hard to change to date to early fall, when the weather is beautiful, and not too hot to travel.
One other thing -- silly things keep people from coming, like they don't like how much they weigh (that would be me!), or they don't think they have a prestigious enough job, or they don't have a job at all, etc. I think that now we are pushing 60, those things are irrelevant to most of us. If we're still alive and kicking -- or if we're just alive and in a wheel chair -- that's cause for celebration, and we should all get together and celebrate our victories and defeats, and joys and sorrows.
And one more thing: if you haven't come to the reunions because you were miserable in high school and thought everyone hated you (that would also be me!), then come and be surprised at how many other people felt the same way. Time is a great equalizer, and you'll find the people who were the coolest in high school chatting amiably with people they used to torment. We have all grown up, and if you are carrying around bad feelings about those times, come and have them purged.
You will leave the reunion happy.
