Hello Classmates,

We hope to see as many of you as possible at our next reunion.  Information is on the Home Page under the Announcements section.  This is going to be fun and we hope you can join us.  At the time of this email there are 218 days, 21 hours, 16 seconds to kickoff!  That will be changed by the time you see this as the "Countdown" continues.  How cool is that little Countdown Box?  Thank you class of 1965 for that lead!: :)

We have created a new "Poll" on the upper right hand side of the Home Page.  Would you let us know if you are planning to attend the Fall 2021 Reunion or not?  We have to provide "best guess" estimates to reserve rooms, make plans for meals, etc. and this will help us have an eye on how many to estimate.  Thank you!

We have also put a Registration Form for  your convenience on the top bar of the Web Site.  However, (and this is a big "however" at the moment, we are having trouble finding out how to make the form "printable".  At the moment there doesn't appear to be a way to do so.  We're continuing to look into it.  It is possible to copy it and then paste it into a Word document , print it out, fill it in and mail it to Jeff Trolllinger.  The problem is the formatting gets messed up in the process so you will have to clean up the formatting before printing it out and filling it in.  We're trying to get this fixed so be patient with us (remember, we all grew up with typewriters and mimeographs so this technology is hard for us too).  At any rate the sooner we start getting people registred the better our planning will be. Please get those registration forms in as soon as possible.

Third, we are going to mail a hard copy out to everyone in the system soon so be sure to update your information, especially your email and your hard mail address.  Mailings are expensive and every returned envelope cost us money but more importantly becomes one more classmate who didn't get the word.

Help us help you!

Mailings:  There will be one mailing via the good old Postal System and for the most part moving forward we plan on using our Web Site as our principle means of communication.  This is why it is so important to keep your information accurate and up to date on the web site and to help locate our classmates who are not on the web site and encourage them to join the web site now!

Missing Classmates:  Please help us by finding classmates whom we have lost at sea and letting us know when a classmate passes away.  Use the website to share updates about yourself too.  

As Roy Rogers used to say..."May the Good Lord be with you til we meet again."

Posting 2019 Reunion Pictures...

Pictures are nested in separate albums under the Photo Galleries tab.  

Post or view pictures in the Photo Galleries section of the web site.  

We are Looking forward to all the great pictures people will take.  Please be judicious in how many and what kind of pictures your post...we are only allotted so much space.

Pictures from each reunion are posted in a separate folder.  Go and have a look!  We all had a great time.

•

Sending Messages To Classmates...

To post a message to the class simply go to the "Message Forum" Tab on the Left Side Bar of the Home Page.  Post your message and it will go out to everyone.  Think Bulletin Board so post your message carefully   and with sensitivity to other's feelings and perspectives.  If your message intended for only one person or a small group select who you want it to go to so it doesn't go out to everyone.

Our Next Reunion...October 2021 when classmates turn 75.  Mark your calendars and don't miss the fun.  We will begin on Thursday and depart on Sunday.  If some folks want to stay over Sunday that's always an option too.  Let us know if  you are interested.

Classmates attending our 55th reunion expressed a strong interest in returning to Dunes Manor in Ocean City.  

Sign up early...help us know how many to plan for.  Check back often!

Class Creator has partnered with SSA Stores to offer our class members an extensive line of high quality, custom apparel products.

Our classs receives a 12% commission from SSA Stores on all items purchased. This is a terrific way to raise funds to put toward our class reunion or other class outing or activity.

We have classmates with in- correct email addresses.  It would be helpful if everyone went back and insured their email is correct and up to date.  Eventually we will be sending 50th reunion information out via email and to get it your email address will have to be up to date.  Thanks for checking yours!
