A monthly reminder to our Classmates of 1953 and 1954 and cherished
friends.
Amazing isn't it - But another month has gone by and now it is only 5
months to October and our 50th Reunion.
Here's the response and count so far:
CLASS of 53
CLASS of 54
I mailed the Class of 53 members without E-Mail a copy of the last
message and I will mail them a copy of this message. I have also been it
touch by phone with each of them this week to confirm they got the first
message.
I overlooked Mr. and Mrs. Denham on the last mailing but, I promise not
to forget this time.
I have been in touch with Carol Ann and she has contacted the Class of
54 members with out E-Mail.
Ramona, responded to the Web Site idea by sending a current photo of
herself and we did a "THEN' and "NOW" thing on the Web Site which I hope
will encourage the rest of you to join in on the fun and reminiscences
of cherished times.
I also discovered a class memento this past week and put it on the Web
Site.
You will find Ramona's Photo by clicking on her name at the Class of 54
Menu and the Memento is on the Main Page Menu.
I thought the memento completely appropriate since I mentioned it on the
Web Site last month before I even discovered I had a Memento to it. I
hope I now got you to wondering, which will entice you to go check out
the Web Site.
So go to either www.classof53.net or www.classof54.net and check
them out.
AND, then I hope like Ramona some of you will send me photos for the
site. OLD or NEW Photos.
I called the school just today (May 15) and they still have not
finalized the football schedule. I therefore called Coach Howington and
talked to him personally. He is having a little trouble with the
schedule but, has now promised to get with the school principle next
week and set a homecoming date.
I also spoke with Carol Ann today so she could tell Harold of my
conversation with the coach. Harold is the President of Homecoming and
has also been working to get the date established.
Carol Ann and Lou have been in touch and are looking at the choices
available for a reunion meeting place.
Carol Felts is also checking on the Ambassador Hotel and Meeting Rooms
in Abilene because he attended a conference there..
We would appreciate hearing from those of you who have not replied so we
can get a feel for the size facility we need.
I will let everyone know the Homecoming DATE as soon as it has been
determined.
There is an attachment to this message which I have No Comment on other
then it just might be true.
Looking forward to seeing all of you in October - Love to All - E. Ray
