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

128 days and counting...to Homecoming 2009

Hello Boys and Girls of the WHS Class of 1967, Be it known our veins are filled with the blood of Wolverines! I have attached three docs for your review/comment/feedback. Firstly, you will find the Minutes of the last Class Planning Group Meeting -Conference. Nextly, is the Agenda for the next CPGM-C. And (drum Roll, please) lastly, but not leastly, is possibly the most inportant - a Schedule of Time Blocks. The Time Block Schedule is intended as an aide in Planning the '09 Homecoming and 60th Birthdays Party for this October. Please take a look at it and jot down anything you would enjoy having as part of the the get-together. Anything is fair game ( except acting like '66's or '68's) (I mean, come on, there's got to be some limits*) and the more thoughts the better. Please feedback your Time Block ideas and they will be incorporated into the '09 H'c'ing and 60th BDP planning. The Minutes will have backbone info re the Class Scholarship Awards. Check the Class BLOG for details including comments by our Scholarship Awards presentation representative. Also, there has transpired a trans-state brownie transfer transgression that may have transfigured certain subcommittee translates and may, also, have transcended some previously transparent trusts between a certain brownie transferee and others who were not made aware of the brownie transportation and who, now, are so pissed they may transmogrify or need a transfusion. Hope all well! TT

Here is the result of your great efforts on selecting the graduating candidates of 2009.
Alicia Welling, Crystal Cardona, and JillianRoberts..................... Great Choices.............We wish them great success, and we're sure they will have a lot to give back, in the future. Ken & Bruce...........

To a wonderful group of people.......... I just returned from the Willits High awards presentation. As out of my comfort zone as I was, I do not think I embarrassed our group. I can tell you from the heart that your choices of scholarship recipients could not have been better or could not have been more appreciated. These kids are first class, as are you. My wingman was not able to be with me tonight, but I did get a couple of decent pictures. When I hook up with Ken we will get those to you. More info at our next Skype meeting. G'nite.........Bruce

Hello Classmates, Hope this finds everyone well! I am sending, via an attachment, the Minutes of the last Class Planning Group Meeting - Conference. As with the recent Meetings, there is too much info to cover here. The Scholarship Program is getting feedback from the Class at large. A number of Classmates have sent their assessments. I will make sure the info gets to the interviewers prior to the interviews. In fact, there is a "Special Meeting" of the Planning Group to specifically discuss the Scholarship Application info. That Meeting - Conference will be Tuesday, May 12, 8 PM. Runyan will host the Skype. Please sit in and voice your thoughts. Regarding the Homecoming and Class 60th Birthdays Party, the Planning is really getting enthusiastic. Pregame Meet and Greet, Jump out of "float" / trailer at the game / possibly some singing / maybe a B-B Q / Class sweatshirts / SAturday activity / seated dinner / Cake and Music / '67 Classetera! Also, some good and some not-so-good news "For the Good of the Class". Please check out the attachment for details and support your CLassmates. Next Class Planning Meeting is May 19 (3rd Tuesday) - 8 PM start, Runyan will host the Skype. Best wishes for a very lovely Mother's Day! Wolverine-On! T

Most Valued WHS Alumni and the World's greatest Classmates, Ain't if great to be a "67! The word went out trying to find Jani Bromaghin on a fragment of info and Boom, Whiz, Flash, Bang ***** '67! ***** We got action from our Wolverines across the Country. Gary and Leza Smith had info as well as other C'mates closer to the School. Ain't it great! I almost feel sorry (I said "almost") for those "other" classes. Homecoming and the Birthdays Party are a couple weeks closer. Each Class Planning Meeting gets a little wilder about it. I don't know what they will be like in another month or two. The next Meeting - Conference is this Tuesday, May 5th, at 8 PM. The Skype conference will be hosted by our very own Ken Runyan. Yours truly will try to ride herd on the Group. Please, if you have the time available, join the discussion. The Class will be benefitted by your participation! Hope all well! TT PS - further info and details available on the Class blog at http://www.willitshighclassof67blogspot.com/ Fred updates the blog almost weekly so the latest is on there. And, the Class blog is available to all Classmates for the posting of any item having value to the Class. By the way, Eddie Marlett's dog weighs about 2 2/4 pounds and is named "Bruiser".

Dear '67 Wolverine Classmates, I hope this finds everyone well and happy! It seems everyone I speak with is super busy. Same report here. The Class Planning Group is no different. The Minutes of the last Meeting - Conference (April 21 - 3rd Tuesday) are attached. As they are somewhat lengthy, I will not provide a complete rundown this time. However, they are posted on the blog where you may review them for details. In a nutshell, the Class Scholarship Program is on track. Our interview panel will sit with the Applicants on the weekend of May 16. Bruce and Ken R. are doing the liaison work directly with the School and our interview panel is coming from both home and afar.

The '09 Homecoming and 60th Birthdays Party get-together is gaining momentum. There has been discussion of a "Meet and Greet" with other Classes, the Star Spangled Banner, a Class Float(don't get nervous until you read the details on the blog), maybe a museum tour, and I can't remember what else all. Then there will be the Birthdays Party Saturday. Looks like more over-eating to be followed by cake and music. Oh, The Planning Group would like everyone's feedback regarding Class Sweatshirts. Thinking it might be chilly at the football game and we need an identifying mark, the Group is considering Class Sweatshirts. The leaning is toward 1st quality hooded sweatshirts in dark green with yellow/gold printing of a Class of '67 logo. If a bulk purchase can be made, a below-market price may be had. Please let Fred O (the Blogmaster) or me (the at times long-winded e-mailmaster) know if you have any likes / dislikes re sweatshirts. As of now, nothing has been finalized regarding logos, etc.

The next Class Planning Group Meeting - Conference, which would be enhanced by your participation, will be Tuesday May 5, 8 PM. Contact K. Brown or K. Runyan to get your Skype ready to go. K B - 707-459-4065, K R - 707-354-1864.Again, Hope all well and enjoying the first part of Spring. '67-On!!!!!! T PS - Looks lile Homecoming will be October 16. PPS - Class time capsule to be intered at the School during Homecoming get-together. Get your item together!!! T

You had to pass this building on your way to and from lunch at Billie's and Elmo's.....You could get a foot long hot dog, chips, and a cherry coke for .35 cents at Billie's.....that won't even buy a postage stamp, today.

Great Facebook reminder from Lom......

Hi Everyone:

Since we have a Facebook for the class of 67, I am suggesting all of us should take the time to join the class on Facebook at "Willits High Class of 1967" and by doing so we can add family and other friends to our own personal face book and then................................let's send out a calling for all those classmates we have not found.

What do you think? Penny Terhurn, Kathy McDonald, Susie Turner, to just name a few. Let's see what we can do with the internet in our search to find those missing.

Blessings, Loma
