COME HOME>>>>
There is just a short time left until your classmates will gather in Kansas to renew old friendships, make new friends, visit old neighborhoods and sort through memories. Most of us have many wonderful memories of high school and we all have the ones where we felt " left out" and like we didn't fit in...it was part of being a teenager. We remember the music and the sports and the dances and clothes and some of us even remember the classes ! Reunions are a time of reflection...and a time to share those memories...both good and not so good with others who " knew you when". Don't miss this opportunity to be a part of the 45th reunion.
It's not too late to let us know you're coming....but we really do need to know right away so we can have enough food and beverages. Please download your reservation sheet from the FB page or reply and I'll email you a copy. If you have already sent in your reservation.....thank you...we're looking forward to seeing you.
One of the things that many of us took for granted when we were young was how lovely Kansas is. We were so busy at school and playing sports and going to the drive in or working on our cars....that we missed the magic that was just outside the city limits. I thought you all might enjoy this video and music....please take about 5 minutes and sit quietly with a cool beverage and enjoy the pictures of the place many of us call home. When you're here to visit....be sure to take a drive...off of I-70....and experience what you may have missed 45 years ago.
Then....if you have not mailed your reservation ...do it now....and come home to Kansas. We miss you.

THIS AND THAT....
Yikkes.....it's HOT....but fall is just around the corner...so we'll make it ! It seems that this blog....just isn't the same now that Facebook is a part of our lives. Several of us have tried to get it " going " but there just are not enough of us posting here to make it fun. I will continue to post important information but I'm not going to post everything here....that is on Facebook. If you're not on FB I'd encourage you to join and check it often. If you don't you'll miss the many bios and pictures and the banter. We encourage you to join in...post your bio...share pictures...and be a part of the reunion whether or not you are able to attend. If you have not sent in your registration for the 45th reunion....it's not too late...but we need to know you're coming...asap. We have to let our food people know how many to expect and we'd hate to run out of food either night. Please e-mail one of us and let us know you're attending and send in your form and money right away ! Please don't think no one will miss you......or that you'll feel out of place because you've not kept in touch with anyone.....or....the worst excuse....but one we hear..." there were too many cliques in high school"... !!! Really .....many of your classmates felt like that...it's part of being a teenager.....even the so called " in crowd" ..felt awkward !! So keep up with the blog if you like and add things here....or better yet....join in on the fun on Facebook. Hope to see you all in a month. Have a safe Labor Day weekend.

Those added since the last reunion are in bold letters. If you know the year of their passing, feel free to post. Terry D has created a board with those listed below, along with any obituaries we have located. It will be on display at the 45TH reunion. If there is a * in front of their name, we have an obituary.

Music-Don't You Forget About Me
We have had several requests for a place to talk about music. One of our classmates...Jim Clements has been entertaining a small group of us by sharing u-tubes and comments for the last 4 1/2 years. Now we'll let him put some of them here. Please chime in with your comments and memories or add u-tubes of your own. Between Jim and Marshall and other classmates with a love of music and a musical background it will be fun to see the diversity in musical tastes.
Music...especially " our " music had such an impact on our generation. In this section feel free to post or chat about what memories a special song brings to mind. I'll start with the one Jim sent tonight....and the comment he made.
" Still the ultimate high school kids coming of age movie. As for the song title, I'm sure EVERY senior who ever walked out of his/her high school or college on the very last day, hopes those words ring true !!!! " Jim Clements
