Trip to Evansville

I am headed to Evansville for a few days in April. My husband's class, Reitz '67, is having a pre-reunion get together to begin planning their 45th reunion. A committee of three lead by an ambitious classmate has located all of their classmates (450 approx.) but 6! They have received reservations for 165 people for the pre-reunion dinner! It is to be held at the Cottonwood Center in Evansville and the cost is only $12 per person! - this was originally planned to be a picnic at Howell Park but attendance was so great they needed to find another venue. I am impressed by the perseverance of this committee.

I'll let you know of any great ideas I can glean from the Reitz group. If we are going to have a reunion, probably the sooner we start planning, the better?

I know there are classmates out there that you are in contact with who are not on this blog or our FB page. Maybe if you run into to someone or talk with them, let them know about our pages and encourage to join us. I guess the more feedback we get the better we will be able to decide whether to get gung ho or not.

Take care, Nancy

45th Reunion? Or....?

I have sent an email and a message to class members already regarding any interest in planning a reunion -- be it 45th or just a get together. Those of you who have already responded don't worry about responding again - there was 100% interest from those who responded...

So I will put the question out there again....

Should we have a 45th reunion in 2012?

Or would you rather just have an informal get together? Pick a place and a time and if you show you show....

Are you interested in helping to plan? Have any ideas?
