Dear everyone,<br />
<br />
We're getting lots of interest and I have reserved the little lodge above Timberline on Mount Hood. Put Sept 10-12, 2011 on your calendars. If you have questions, write or call (503-291-0159). Or write or call just to say hello.<br />

What a fabulous 50th Reunion weekend! Everyone wants to stay in touch, so I have created our own little "social network" - a place where we can all easily stay connected! I hope everyone will use this as a place to share news, thoughts, pictures, experiences and just stay in touch.<br />
<br />
Pictures, pictures, pictures! If everyone will upload their photos from reunion, we'll have some great reminders of the fun we had.<br />
<br />
Huge thanks to Marcy and Jan and Dan and everyone else who was involved in making…
