(emails from Felix, Tom and Oystein)

Hello Tom & Fred,

Vivien & I have returned from our trip. While we were in Norway, we visited Ostein "Chuck" Line and his family. He is doing very well, married with four adult children (3 boys & one girl). This is the first time I have seen him since our high school days and we had a lot of fun. Attached are two recent pictures of Ostein. Tom, I did say hello to Ostein for you. He will not be able to come to Willits in October because of his busy schedule!
Wishing you all a nice summer and don't work too hard,

Felix

Chuck, GREAT to hear from you! Is there any chance of you attending a Class function in the (near) future? Your presence would be more than special! T

Hi Tom, Hi everybody,

I am not able to travel to California in the fall . However, I enjoy following the correspondence.

I am holidaying and mostly off NET. Just now I’m sitting in my mother in law’s wooden house built in 1309. Strange to think about the development witnessed by these ancient walls!

WHS Class of 1967 Presents Three Scholarships

Special for The Willits News - 7/10/2009

Alicia Welling, Jillian Roberts,
and Crystal Cardona. (The Willits News)

Alicia Welling, Crystal Cardona, and Jillian Roberts received scholarship from the Willits High School Class of 1967 during a June 4 awards ceremony held at the high school.

The scholarship program was conceived during the 41st reunion of the Class of '67 hosted by Richard and Debbie Huddle on August 31, 2008, attended by more than 100 alumni, spouses and guests.

The class welcomed faculty members Hugh Walters, Larry Stranske, Ruth Rockefeller, Doug Oliver, Jim Eaglin and the late Tom Schubert.

Efforts to locate all class members began in January 2008. Ninety-three members were located; 10 have yet to be found.

Attendees traveled from Mississippi, Idaho, Nevada, Utah, Washington, Oregon, Hawaii, British Columbia and from throughout California.

The class has several projects planned besides the 1st annual "Class of '67 Giving Back Scholarship" program, including placement of a bench in the Willits High School quad that contain a time capsule constructed and installed by class of '67 alumni.

The group also will hold a Class of '67 60th birthday party on Homecoming weekend in October.

Persons wishing to contribute items to the time capsule, or who would like more information concerning class activities and members who are still missing, should notify Bruce Formslag, Ken Runyan, Tom Tufts or Fred Olenik, who are listed on the willitshighclassof67.blogspot.

"We believe this is the first time a class has focused on giving back through scholarship funding," says Class of 1967 alumnus Kathy Sullivan-Strahle. "The funding was gathered at our last class reunion through donations and raffles.

"The class of '67 challenges other WHS alumni to contribute to the continuation of WHS scholarships," she adds.

The Class of 1967 wishes to thank WHS Counselor Bob Colvig, Principal Gordon Oslund, and their staff "for helping us with this successful program,' she says.

103 Days to Homecoming....Are you ready?

God Bless America

Hello Awesome Classmates, U B Gr8. But then you already know that. 'Cause U B a '67!

Hope this finds everyone well!

I have three items tonight.

1) The Class Scholarship Program worked out very, very well. We provided three scholarships of $567 each. NOW, the question becomes - How do we raise funds to give out scholarships again next school year. Please, put on the thinking caps and let me (or any Classmate involved in the Class planning) know your thoughts regarding Scholarship Fundraising.

2) I have attached the schedule of time blocks for the Homecoming and 60th Birthdays Party weekend. Again Please, put on those T-caps and let me (or you-know-whos) know of anything you would like to see included in the Fall get-together event planning. Anything is fair game, after all - we are the Class of '67.

3) I have attached the Agenda for the next Class Planning Group Meeting - Conference. It will be held July 7th, 8:30 PM. Runyan will host the Skype conference. Again, Again Please, attend if you can.

As always, LUVYAs! TT

Willits vs St. Helena....Remember the days.....

Hello everyone,

Just a quick note because it's past my bedtime. There was a Class Planning Meeting - Conference this evening. I will get Minutes out after I get some shut-eye (Hopefully in the next couple days).

A couple notes from the meeting though - Kathy Sullivan-Strahle will be writing an article to be placed with the Willits News. The article will present a history of the Class of '67 Scholarship Program including how we came together at the 41st Reunion and from there followed through to awarding three nice scholarships to three nice people.

Also, Kathy will allude to some of the planning for future events and scholarship fund-raising. Kathy would like to include any item of interesting information the Class may have about getting together, fund-raising, Scholarship awards, etc. Items might be either personal, related to a few Classmates, or of Class-wide scope. Anything involved with the Scholarship Program, past, present, or future.

PLEASE relate your item to Kathy, by this Friday if at all possible so she can make a deadline, at her email. kstrahle@hotmail.com. Also, PLEASE take a look at the time blocks for the Homecoming and 60th Birthdays Party weekend and send me any thoughts you may have regarding things you would like to see included in the planning. Also also, be thinking about what you want to put in a Class Time Capsule. It looks like it may well happen! Now, it's off to bed with me. Wolverine-On! T
