Committee Invites Classmates with Ideas for Reunion to Attend Next Planning Session
[posted Janaury 19, 2012]
Class of '62,
Our next 50-year reunion planning meeting will be held at 7:00 pm, Monday, February 6, at the home of Willis and Vance Thompson Willey at 3031 Goodwyn Green Circle. West of the Pink Palace at the intersection of Central and Goodwyn, go south one block and then turn left at the gates at the first street, Goodwyn Green Circle. It is a gated community but the gate will be open for us to enter. Their house is in the corner.
If you have some ideas/suggestions about dates, location, meals, refreshments, music, etc., please attend and let us know. If you just want to see what goes on, that's fine too. This is your chance to have some input into what happens during our 50-year reunion. Please tell classmates who don't have internet about the meeting. Also, East High has a web site at http://easthigh.org/ which has lots of information about our school and alumni.
E-mail me at any time, or call Vance at 573-5544 after January 23, if you plan on attending.
See yall on the 6th,
Glen

The first meeting of our 50-year reunion committee was held last night at Mason Ezzell's house.
Classmates in attendance were:
Mason Ezzell
Elise Kroell Griffin
Jackie Boston Taylor
Elise McDonald Williams
Sharon Scott Cornelius
Vance Thompson Willey
Chuck Williams
Sue Hyde Crabtree
Denny Koehn
Glen Stewart
Gary Stewart
Helen Levy Tower
Various issues were discussed including locations, events, food, costs, and dates.
A Friday night get-together will be held at Vance Thompson Willey's house. Various places are being contacted for Saturday night. Food will probably be catered each night. There may be a golf outing Friday if there are enough golfers interested. An oldie-singing duo is being considered for entertainment as opposed to a band, since the duo would be quieter and classmates would be able to mingle and talk. The dress would be casual both nights.
The dates will probably be October 19 and 20, 2012. This may change due to getting a place for the Saturday night get-together (but probably not). Since schools will be back in session you won't miss time with the kids/grandkids during summer vacation. And this is past prime-time travel days, so there should be no problem getting air flights.
The costs will probably be $75-100 per person for both nights.
We'll have more definite information when we meet again in January.
If you have any photos, send them to me and I'll forward them to Mason who will create a video presentation of them.
The following classmates have not been found. If you have any info as to their whereabouts such as last known location, e-mails, their kids, or grandkids, send it to me and I will try to find them.
Mary K. Allen Blyn
Pat Ann Baldwin
Judy Ann Kinter
Patricia Laws
Mary Jo Milligan Trudeau
Linda Gay Paul Briggs
Carol Ann Sieber
Diane Hudson Talbert
Robert Almer White
Marion Beaty Word
Since our last reunion in October 2002, the following classmates have passed away:
Barbara Bell McDonough - 4/19/08
Gogi White Stemmler - 4/19/09
Sarah Jane Nichols Hill - 8/28/09
Martha Jo Fly Dickerson - 4/10/11
Harmon Williams - 7/18/11
If you have never attended a reunion, you should attend the 50th one for sure. If you know someone who has never attended a reunion, please call them and try to get them to attend this one. Some of the class of '61 have expressed an interest in attending our 50th reunion. And you don't want to miss 94-year old Mrs. Taylor.
