Class Reunion Update


Hello again everyone, Please accept my apologies in advance for all the e-mails. However, I keep getting messages that need to be shared. Fred is continuing his beaver-like work ethic. He has provided a consolidated Classmates list. Everyone (we believe) from the Class is listed. Each Classmate is noted either as "Contact Confirmed" or Still Needs to be Contacted".

Fred updates the list continually based on the good work done and ongoing via the "assignments" approach and other communicating. The list is to the right of this post. PLEASE take a look at the list and see if you can contact any of the "Still Need to be Contacted" Classmates. There are too many Classmates yet not contacted to leave uninformed.

If you contact a Classmate, PLEASE get their info: phone, address, and, if they have it, e-mail. If we can get e-mail, we can communicate directly and everyone gets the same messages. THANKS - let's find them.

The Willits "Food and Etc" group is continuing its work on our ticket price. We should have a number in the near future. We will let everyone know how much and to whom as soon as established.

Oh! There are still a number of uncontacted Classmates residing in and around Willits. It is inefficient to communicate with them from down here. It takes wither a letter through the US mail or long distance phone calls. May I ask for help on the local front - would someone (or more) please contact the remaining Willits Classmates? It would be a great help. They are identified on the class list. THANKS!

Yours for the Class of '67 and a great reunion! TT

Reunion Plan Update


Hello Classmates,


Hope this finds everyone well and happy! Jon McKee phoned this evening. He is working with Suzie, Richard, Doug, and Dennis on the food plans. He reported contacting the Lions Club for menu and price information. The Lions Club will feed back to Jon in a day or so. Jon will liaison with S, R, D,and D to provide us with a proposed ticket amount. They will fold associated costs such as table rental, etc into the amount. As soon as we have a figure we will let everyone know. We will need to get a treasurer set up.

Also, Just got off of the phone with David Page. He is in Medford, Oregon. He was pleased to hear we are getting together. He said he has Willie Nelson tickets for sometime in August but if the concert conflicts with the reunion he'll off the tickets. Now there's Wolverinism on display! We had a nice conversation to be continued in person. For those who have not met, his wife's name is Kim. Spoke yesterday, in separate conversations, with both Charlotte and Eddie Marlet. Both doing well and intending to come. Charolette is in up-state Washington, Eddie in Fortuna. Fred is moving to assign names. Felix is back from his trip abroad. Fred assigned him two names the minute he hit the door. I think Fred is starting to enjoy this. Again, hope all well. TT

Venue...Richard Huddle's house


We have had a little opening conversation re teachers/administrators. Without question "Rocky" should be there if possible. If she is with Barry, maybe you can liaison. ??? Could be a gold star in it for you! Also, I'd like to talk to some of those other teachers about my grades. What about calling it a fund raiser and have a dunking tank for them. We could make enough to finance the 43rd get-together.

For all unsure of the venue, we are going to Richard Huddle's house. (Thank you, Richard!) He has a nice home, with manicured lawn, on the west side of Highway 101 just as you come into town from the south, (I can't believe he is this foolish). You can see the house (in its present state) from the highway. He is just west of 101, opposite Brown's Corner (Andy's - see old photo above), and, You should recognize our gathering (by our Class' disorganization).

Ask for the "Lower Percentile 41st Annual Get-Together and Memory Check" Then pull right on ("Right On!") in. There should be plenty of ("Right On") parking right on that lawn. The planned date is August 31st; but I am sure Richard won't mind if some of us arrive a few days early. Wouldn't that be a fun surprise for him. I understand he is very understanding. Look for him standing under his garage door with tears in his eyes. I am sure they will be tears of joy. The first Classmates to get there get their most fun parking spots. See you there Brothers and Sisters!!!!! TT
