UMHS Class of 1963
57th Reunion
It's been 57 years since we
bid farewell to UMHS as the great Class of '63. It's time for
another reunion!
But wait – 2020 has gotten
in the way. These first 5000 or so
days of the year have been hell! Shelter-in-place, masks, gloves,
social distancing, handwashing, sprays, wipes, and the toilet paper
shortage – I still can't understand that one! Seriously, I hope no
one has been affected by this deadly and unpredictable virus.
This
has put a kink into plans to get together this fall. But I'm not
going to let 2020 beat me. Here's what I would like to do to keep
us connected.
I'd
like EVERYONE to send
me pictures. Past, present, family – whatever you would like to
share. And write a little something about yourself. What have you
been doing since 1963? How have major events affected your life?
Anything you would like us to know.
E-mail
all of this to me at mcgheelynne8@gmail.com
and I'll put everything together and post on the blog
(www.umhs63.blogspot.com). If I can figure a way to do it that isn't
too expensive, maybe I can put everything into some type of book that
I can mail out to all.
Quite
a few of us have gotten together every year since the 50th
reunion. But those who haven't come to a reunion for whatever reason
– we want to keep in touch with you too.
Send
your pictures and stories to me by September 1. Also include your
address/phone number/email address so we can be sure we have your
current information. These will not be posted without your
permission.
I'll
post a list of those who have slipped between the cracks. If you
have any information on them, send that also.
This
isn't the kind of reunion we wanted to have, but in light of all
that's going on, it's the safest course to follow. Next year will be
better!
I just sent my "story" to Lynne with photos. I hope everyone else does too because it will be great to read everyone's story. I love going to the reunions, but I never seem to have time to talk to everyone long enough to get their story. This is our chance to really catch up with everyone! Thank you so much Lynne!! But it will only be truly great if Lynne hears from all of you - so get to work and send in your "life since graduating" complete with family photos.
