Note new reunion date

REUNION UPDATE NEWS
You want NEWS?
I’ve got News, Good News, and GREAT NEWS!
Great News first.  You’ve probably been following Gator football, wherever you are.  Well, the only team in Gainesville with a better record now than the 11-1 Sugar Bowl-bound Gators is your UNDEFEATED Gainesville High Hurricanes!  Right now they are 13-0 and in the Class 6A (largest classification is 8A), State Semifinals this Friday.  They won their first playoff game by the dominating score of 60 – 3!  Shades of the Niblack years!

ESPN recently rated this year’s Hurricanes the 16th best high school football team in the U. S. A. !!!

Good News next.  Your Reunion Committee is planning a great 45th Class Reunion.  If you came to the 40th, or wish you had, you’re really going to like the 45th:  golf, motorcycle ride, tours of GHS and our old Gainesville haunts, good music, good food and fun. And high school classmates and stories galore!
That brings me to the Update – this is what you needed to hear.  Best laid plans, right?  After setting the date a year in advance, a conflict with our reunion plans still developed and we had to take action.  The Steering Committee voted to move the Reunion forward (later) by one weekend, so that the new Reunion date is June 28-30, 2013.  We apologize in advance for any inconvenience this causes you and we sincerely hope this change does not present any conflicts for you that you cannot resolve.  We want you to come.
SO HERE’S THE HEADLINE –
GHS ’68 – 45TH REUNION – JUNE 28-30, 2013
ONE WEEK LATER THAN ORIGINALLY PLANNED.
PLEASE HELP US SPREAD THE WORD.
We are re-finalizing the plans and filling in the details.  We’ll send them to you in the spring so you can send in your reservations.  In the meantime, you can follow classmate news and reunion plans on Facebook at www.facebook.com/#!/GainesvilleflHighSchoolClassof1968  and on the Reunion Blog site atwww.ghs68.blogspot.com .  Check us out!
Hope you had a wonderful Thanksgiving!
Have a Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays, and See You at the End of June!

Your Reunion Steering Committee

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.
