Ahoy, Mateys. Our 40-Year Reunion is just a little over 2 months away. Your trusty Reunion Committee has been hard at work behind-the-scenes fussing with the myriad details to make it all happen. The Reunion will be casual, easy, welcoming and a whole lot of fun with longtime friends. You’re gonna wanna be there… really!
We’ve got the Registration page up and running, so click on over, say “Yes!”, send in your money and mark your calendar. We’ll see you there.
There are still quite a few classmates that we can’t find. We’ve got old snail mail addresses, wrong email addresses, or nothing at all. We’re trying to make sure that everyone knows about the reunion, so if you know the whereabouts of some of these folks, please let us know -OR- give our class email address to the classmate that’s listed as missing and have them get in touch, pretty please.
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.

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.
Lotsa details to sort out between now and the 40 Year Reunion on August 22. A cluster of classmates will be meeting to make planning progress tomorrow. Care to join in?
