A Whole Lotta Shakin' Going On: The Reunion Committee Meets at Gator's Dockside

The committee met last night at Gator's Dockside, the site of the first evening of our Reunion celebration in June. A few snippets from the meeting:
The deadline for signing up is May 15. We have had good response with a number of folks who have not before attended our reunions. We think we will have a fine gathering and hope that you stragglers will not miss out. Your next chance to do this is when you are 68.
The golf event(s) are under the noble leadership of Ken Nibling and he has worked hard to put it all together. A full report with video should be posted very soon.
The Friday night gathering is in a large sports bar type of restaurant, Gator's Dockside. We all have enjoyed our meetings there and their menu can satisfy anyone from the burger/fries lover to a Chinese-style chicken salad with low calorie raspberry vinegarette (I want that recipe, Gator's). We will be decorating and having some hors d's for you. We have been inviting some classes adjacent to ours to attend if they like. If you know of someone in that category, tell them to "come on down."
The Saturday evening gathering at the Country Club should be fun with a tasty menu planned. There will be music of our era, but no formal DJ yapping away. That alone is a good reason to attend.
On Sunday, we plan a brief memorial service to remember our deceased classmates followed by a brunch before closing out our 40th reunion.
We are looking forward to a fine time. It is not too late to sign up to join us.

General Information and Schedule of Events

40th CLASS REUNION: June 20-22, 2008

The schedule for this past reunion has been posted on the Yahoo group/forum (see link with other links) for safe keeping.

We are discussing how long to maintain the blog and we are leaning towards doing so ad infinitum. The Yahoo group/forum will keep on keeping on so sign up and send in your thoughts, etc.

Also note that our reunion e-mail address is and will remain ghs68reunion@aol.com.


HOW TO ENJOY PRE-REUNION PHOTOS OF YOUR CLASSMATES (HELP FOR THE COMPUTER-CHALLENGED)! Go to the SLIDE SHOW at the top of the blog page to watch the photos. To control the slide show, place your cursor over the slide and use the pause, forward, and backward arrows that will appear. Double click the slide and you will be directed to the Picasa photo site. There you can see a larger version of the photo you clicked. Click VIEW ALBUM to enter the web album of all the pre-reunion photos we have placed in the blog. At that point, you may order any copies of the photos you would like to or watch, send photos to friends, or watch a full screen version of the slide show. Have fun.

When sending in electronic images, please identify who is in the picture and who is sending it. Many of us look exactly like we did in our youth, some of us do not so identification helps the blog maester. Some photo programs allow you to label or caption each shot to identify the people pictured. If you can do this before sending it in, it will save us time at this end.
