We are expecting 1000+ alumni and guests to attend reunion weekend. The Official Reunion Newsletter was mailed the first week of May. Only alumni who were on official class lists, as of April 12, 2002, received the newsletter. We posted the list of people who should have received the Newsletter. If you know of a classmate, relative, or friend whose name/address does not appear on the list, please notify these people of the upcoming reunion. Anyone missing from the list can obtain a registration form, from this web site, to mail in with payment. Many thanks to Jean Keddell Maneen '65 and Barb Keddell Griffin '67 for creating the newsletter. Bob Stubbs '75, we couldn't have done it without you! We are grateful for the assistance of Ken Long for helping us to get the newsletter printed in such a timely manner. And a huge thank you to all the alumni who turned out to help fold, tab and label these newsletters! Now it's up to the rest of you to send in your money as soon as possible. (May 3, 2002)
