Thank you all and Janet, yep, 60 is nifty or isn't that supposed to be 50??  I'm with Shel, he thinks we are all still 42, sounds like a nice round number to me--

Janet Shady (Winemiller)

Fifty is Nifty - Sixty is Nifty....Hey, any day above ground is nifty lol.

Calling all classmates - I've started working on putting together a big 6-0 birthday bash.

The 60th birthday party last night was so much fun.  We had about 50 people who came.  We missed those of you who were unable to attend.  For anyone who was there and took pictures - send them to me (as an attachment) to copley1969@hotmail.com and I will post on our website.

Who's up for a cruise for the 45th reunion?

A definite hi-lite from the 60th Birthday Party was the card I wound up getting from Tom Clapper which advised, "It's better to burp and taste it, than to fart and waste it."  Yvonne Becker

Colleen Thomas (Cunnane)

Well it ain't the FOUR TOPS that's for DAMN sure!! Scary-Okee at it's best! What a great time - BIG thanks to Shel for the liquid refreshments and especially to Tim for all his hard work and wonderful food!   Helen & I noticed that Tim had the standard "bar-towel" hanging out of his back pocket the entire night!!! Oh and no problem Donie, I had enuf' beer for both of us... (Thanks Stinson, for being my chauffer)  HEY YA'LL- 60's GREAT 60's FINE, Let's all make it to the REAL 69!  yea Shady-Baby I'm in - Let's Cruise!!!                          

Mary Beth Sawdey (Funk)

What a blast!!!!  I'm so glad I made the trip...Jeff and Pam's version of "Paradise by the Dashboard Lights" by Meatloaf was one of the highlights...and Sharon Abraham Rowe's first time at karaoke!  Cross that one off your bucket list!  Ron, somehow, somewhere, you WILL get that birthday card back that I gave you...you should NEVER have left it behind!  Thanks to all who organized the party, and special thanks to Tim and Shel...Bring on the cruise...I am ready to go!

Sharon Abraham (Rowe)

Yes, I'm one of those "people" who loved highschool.  The "50-10" (can't say 60) birthday bash was a blast thanks to Tim and Shel and Janet and committee who always do a wonderful job organizing our reunions!  I can cross off karoake and air guitar (in public) off of my bucket list thanks to Mary Beth and the crazy gals of '69!  AND we had a wonderful time with Pam and Jeff during the entire weekend!  It was so great bringing Mary Beth back to Wilmington for several days to make up for lost time! I continue to marvel at what wonderful and remarkable friends I have known for 45+ years!

Jeff Matthews

                 C R U I S E   ????                     

   Who is interested in going on a cruise for our 45th reunion ????

   I know it's not cheap but you ain't gettin' any younger & you'll have three years to save for it.

Shady -

   Where are the photos for those of us who couldn't make the birthday bash? Or was there just the one shown above?

Lots of pics but our website was updated with the way photos are uploaded and I haven't had time to figure out the best way to load them (I have been out of town).  There are so many options now and sometimes too many choices are not always good.  I think I will have time this weekend to figure it out.

Dian Fultz

Hey everybody!  It was great to see all of you at the birthday bash.  I hope everyone had a safe trip home.  Thanks to everyone on the committee, you always do such a great job.  Thanks to Tim and Shel.  The cruise sounds great, count me in.  I don't care where we go.  Do you think we will look good in the "Mae Wests" so we don't fall overboard after leaving the bar?  Yes, Donie, I had some wine for you and you had a good time.  See you at the next bash( if some of you aren't on tour singing).    Dian Fultz

Janet Shady (Winemiller)

Photos posted of our 60th birthday bash - these were taken by Joyce & Gary.  As you can see our photo format has dramatically changed & will take some experimenting to see what fun things can be done.  I plan to post more party photos at a later date so keep checking back.

We were also at about our maximum website capacity so rather than delete older galleries to add new I paid (from our class savings account) to boost our capacity from 25MB to 200MB.  That should hold us for awhile so we can continue to add to our wonderful website. 

Hope to see y'all at the ballgame on Wednesday......
