Apr 17, 2015 | Committee Notes, Highline High School 40-Year Reunion, Reunion Notes
Mmm, yum. Several members of your trusty Reunion Committee met today on this sunny afternoon and taste-tested the menu items for the 40-Year Reunion’s Saturday evening event. We wanted to lick the plate it was all so delicious!
In choosing a caterer, we wanted someone that could deliver tasty, freshly-prepared, healthful food.
We opted for the Mediterranean Selection from Lavish Roots, a local catering company. (While we were there, we talked to owners Carly and Brandon, and heard about her Dad and cousins, HHS grads.)
This is a meal you’d be thrilled to serve to company, and will be happy to relish.

Wandering through Costco the other day, I saw this book and smiled.
How could I NOT think of my classmates, the HHS Pirates Class of ’75?
Ahoy, Mateys!

Walking down memory lane, I selected “Out in the Country” by Three Dog Night. My music collection then yielded “Mama Told Me Not to Come”.
Well, your mama surely wouldn’t say that about our 40-Year Reunion! She would tell you to put the reunion on your calendar and get on down to the Cove to see your long-time* friends again.
*(Some time ago I stopped saying “old friends” ’cause it just seemed to hit a little too close to home. : ) We’re not “old”… right?!)
Favorite music? What’s that quintessential song from our HHS days that you’ve just gotta hear at our reunion, 40 YEARS LATER.
- That song that was playing when you _________ ?
- The music that played when you danced with _________ ?
- What music makes you think of the first time you kissed _________ ?
- Or the time you and a bunch of friends got together to celebrate _________ ?
- What’s that piece that wraps the whole lump of your high school years into one ball?
We’re compiling a Reunion Playlist. What’s on YOUR list?
Send us your thoughts… and we’ll see you then.
Ahoy Mateys,
Maureen

Mar 3, 2015 | Committee Notes, Highline High School 40-Year Reunion
Yesterday evening, March 1, 2015, your friendly, dedicated Reunion Committee got together for some potluck sustenance and hard work on the 40-Year Reunion planning. We all met at Maureen’s house and gobbled down some food. Then we stickered and stamped the “Save the Date” post cards, prepping them to go in the mail.
We’re using the same artwork that classmate Maureen Hoffmann designed 10 years ago for the 30-Year Reunion, reminiscent of the iconic artwork of artist, Peter Max.
(In order to save our precious few funds, we’re only sending out post cards to those classmates for whom we have no email address. We’re trying to do as much as possible through online communications to save money on printing and mailing costs. So make sure we have your email address!)
Mark Meyer, Cathy Hutchison Bellah, Conn McQuinn (HHS Class of ’74), Betsy Wildish McQuinn and Phil Isernio gather ’round the bevy of potluck dishes, fueling themselves for the “hard work” of stickering the post cards.
Arden Gremmert, Eva Doherty Gremmert, Betsy Wildish McQuinn and Mark Meyer chat and laugh as they put address labels and stamps on the post cards. “Uga-chacka” (Hooked on a Feeling) is playing in the background, by special request of Betsy. It’s “her” song.
Neil Ball, Laurie Lee Ball and Phil Isernio are quiet and concentrating on the task at hand.
“Blank” post cards can be customized by whatever label we decide to stick onto them. We can use these forever.
After eating lots of good food and applying lots of good stamps, we discussed some of the myriad details required to make the reunion happen.
Being involved with the Reunion Committee activities is lots of fun and there’s always something to do. If you’d like to get involved, send us an email. We meet once a month or so and divvy up the to-do list.
