This will be awesome! Can't wait. I'll be bringing my son Tommy Trembling (some of you may remember him as L'il Beast) who coincidentally turns 40 this year. Can you believe it ??!!

Becky Wagner is trying to contact Elkhart High School alumni ( ALL ALUMNI) for a reunion concert on the 22nd of November. She said that there were only 40 confirmations so far, (September 25) and they would not do the concert unless they had at least 100 alumni. It is imperative that we call or email to confirm. The concert will be at Memorial, with a rehearsal on the 21st. Times and more info will follow. The deadline to R.S.V.P. is the 1st of October. This doesn't give us much time to get the word out!. If you are interested, or know an Elkhart High School (or Central, or Memorial) alumni that may be interested, please call or email Jodi Shaw at Elkhart Community School Administration to confirm participation. The number is 574-262-5500, and the email is JSHAW@ELKHART.K12.IN.US Please provide the information below: 1. Name (maiden name also) 2. Address ( Music will be sent to you...it is music that we know/knew!) 3. Phone and email 4. Class of.... 5. Which school 6. Choir, orchestra or band (what instrument you play) Please spread the word!

I have been working feverishly to get the 35th’s pictures on the website (despite what one might deduce from the results so far).  

I have the pictures (back) finally, as our friend SBT took unfortunate advantage of our young photographer and skipped off with his memory card to “check out all the good pics of D.C.”  Unfortunately for her the pictures were password protected, so try as she might she was finally compelled e-mail me to “make arrangements” to return the card.

Many thanks to D.C. for agreeing to the terms of the “arrangement”.   What a sport!

Susan, you may not want me to post ALL of the pictures…

Meanwhile, I’ve been busy (in my spare time) revamping the galleries with a new look and I hope to get at least some published by Labor Day.

Unfortunately I didn't go to any of the first 35 years of EHS reunions but after going to the one last month, I'm planning to attend the ones throughout the next 35 years! Kudos and thanks to Craig and Kathy and their committee who put on a great happening that evening. I can't wait to see the pictures of all the elementary and junior high school alumni,...what a wonderful idea to do that! And what a wonderful memory to treasure...getting together with the class of '73. Thanks for the great time....

First of all, kudos to all the committee members - you all did an awesome job. It was so nice seeing so many of you. We all look great. I don't think we changed a bit in these 35 years. I left with a happy heart both Friday and Saturday. Life is so very short and we all have been so blessed to be able share these 2 nights with each other. I look forward to seeing all of you at the next reunion and I am hopeful that our paths cross again before that. Again, it was nice to see and visit with so many of you. Be safe and be healthy.

We won't be able to make this reunion. Dave has a leg condition that doesn't allow him to fly often and in a couple of weeks we leave for Paris and Ireland along with about 25 of my high school art students and some parents and colleagues for two weeks (are we crazy, or what?) As far as what I've been up to; I'm still teaching art and doing my own work and starting to get some work out there in galleries, which is fun. Oh, a funny thing happened a few weeks ago. Dave and I were at a historic house here in Portland, Oregon (where we live) and I was standing in the gift shop looking around when I heard "Lynn??" I turned around and there was Barry Weaver! He lives in Illinois, but was in Portland with his wife for a pediatric conference. What a small world! Well, safe travels everyone, and I hope to make the next reunion! Lynn

One more note. Please check out www.chopsaver.com. It is my brother Danny's (Elkhart Class of 80) new business...and he has created the best lip balm ever! All natural! It's great "for people with lips." And dermatologists recommend it for people on any kind of drying medications like Acutane...or on oxygen or whatever. It's a fun website, full of great musicians and other talented people who have discovered Chopsaver. Thanks!

Hi All, Cathy and Martina talked me into coming this year. I wish I had started looking at the year book earlier to connect names and faces again. Since it has been 10 years since I have seen anyone but Cathy and Martina I am having a few senior moments! We should have a book with current head shots, that might be easier. My last 10 years were in NY-NJ. I just moved back to Indiana (New Albany) in January. Hope to catch up with you Friday night, Saturday at the latest.

Hi Everyone! I'm sorry to say we will not be at this reunion. So far we have made all the reunions and had a wonderful time. It has been great keeping in touch with everyone and catching up. This year I will be at the Putnam County Fair all week as the head advisor for our 4-H horse club and on Saturday evening I will be riding my youngest daughter, Becca's, horse in the Old Timers Show. George continues as the pastor at First Lutheran Church of Leipsic (Ohio) and will be at the fair watching me ride. I finished my masters in 2005 and am now a special needs preschool teacher in Columbus Grove and an itinerant special needs preschool teacher for Putnam County. We will be thinking of you, missing you, and hope you have a great reunion. A big thanks to all of you who plan and do all the work! We hope to see you at the 40th! Diana and George

I must admit a bit of a disappointment when I found out there would be no appearance by the Flight Band. But all is well that ends well and perhaps I will still have a chance to see my David Coss shaking it a bit on the dance floors. Perhaps even with me. Oh how exciting!!!! I do suggest that this year there be some rules established to control the paparazzi. I have gone back and forth as to wear shorts and a tank top or a dress for this gala event. I have opted for the latter. So good bye for now as I am off shopping for a new outfit. The one from 2003 no longer fits. CYA soon my David.

Plan ticket bought - check Reservation made - check Saturday night paid - check Ok, I'm ready! Attending the 35th reunion is very exciting, because the last reunion I've been able to attend is the 20th. I'm looking forward to seeing faces from the past!

Deb, go the the Rembrance page and click on Monica's name. It'll bring up her obituary. I'd like to add obituaries for all on the Remembrance page - all I need is the obituray or information. If anyone has an obituary that they can scan or send softcopy, or pertinent information for anyone on the Remembrance page please e-mail it to me & I'll set it up.

I have been gone so long that it is nice to know that you all are still out there. I might actually be able to come back for a class reunion which I am sure would be so much fun. I don't drink either, but most of the time I have more fun than those that are. I think that it would be great to have the events both nights. So I hope to see you all soon.

I am looking forward to the reunion (as is my wife Judy, a Jimtown '74 grad). She always has a good time at my reunion weekend. The last reunion was the best with events both nights and a lot of golfers to play golf Saturday morning. The question is can we still sustain two nights of partying, play golf, and caring on? Life is short and we should be free to do what we want to do when we feel the need to do it. Saturday night is the reunion where we all come together and have a blast and reflect on our history together. But at the same time there will be opportunities to do a Friday night dance, play golf Saturday morning and eat dinner Saturday evening. Personally, living in Texas for 23 years, one night of your smiling faces every five years is not enough for me! But at the same time I am not sure my knees can handle the crawling from Harrison Landing to Camaldi's. Simmonton lake was perfect for a Friday night dance and ice breaker. I do not believe the Simmonton lake fun nor the golf distracted anyone from the reunion Saturday night one iota. I say LET"S DO IT AGAIN!!!! PARTY ON!!!

What a wonderful site! Thanks to Craig. It is so delightful to catch up with my HS Peeps. I recognized everyone in the pictures and I am still, so in love with Amy..even though she has never known it...and finally, I am so meloncoly over the loss of Jim Nicholson...Suave; his pictures at the last event are tresured and reveal my failimg at not keeping current. Thanks. That said, even turning 50 and letting beygons go, I can not attend an affair the allows such a rat as Craig Sponseller to attend. Someone of this ilk, who turns in his friends to the police should be "shunned" by the greater group..as he is not, I will do it myself. I am sorry for this post that may seem negative. However, if we, as a generation for whom ideas matter, seeing that some of us do not embrace such, don't stand for somethig different, thus affirm the failings of the offender, then we stand for the same. As for now, it is likely to be a time for all to hate on me; Hate on ME for not forgiving; I can respect that..espcially if the one who violated so many early trusts had sought forgiveness for any trangressions! However, the complaintent of my writing has NEVER asked for understanding nor explained his treasonsus acts; failing such, I have little use for acknowledgement of his for his presence in my World. Please know that despite such trivial concerns, that I do consider the time I had with the class of 1972-3 to be some of the best times in my life. Thanks for reading my post and to make it easier to answer as you feel moved here is my address, 158 Simpson, Elkhart, IN 46516. Warm Hugs to all, Steve

Hey -everyone - YES, we are that old. I have the gray hair, wrinkles, and weight to prove it. So, now that we all know that I'm no longer hot, quit worrying about if you are. You can come sit by me and we'll be less than hot together. Please DO come to the reunion. As the years go by, our ability to travel will decrease and more of us will be added to the Remembrance page. I feel it is important to do this while we are still able - hope you agree.

Eventually I'll get around to installing a better guest book... In my spare time... It's good to hear from all of you - that's what makes this all worthwhile. See you at the reunion.

My husband and I are thinking about coming. I need more information about the dinner ticket cost. We were unable to come to our 30th. Too short of notice. This year I am planing our vacation at that time. All of my family lives around Elkhart. I have lived in AR. for the past 33 years.My opinion on the Friday night pub crawl count me out we do not drink alcohol. I sure I am not the only one. I hope the cost of tickets will be reasonable. The 30th tickets were to high. I do not wish to pay for alcohol that I do not drink.

Hey guys - I just happened to check and see Cheryl's question about cancelling the Fri. event...Is there any way to use the emails to poll a larger group than just those of us who check the web site? Cause it seems like only a few of us do. I had a great time at the dance last time but if there isn't enough interest in doing something like that again, I guess it would be better to cancel but I'd like to hear what others think. Dawne

I still live in the same place...179 Lane Road, Vincent, OH 45784. I've live here for 25 years now in a log house that my husband Raymond and I built. We built it from scratch from red pine trees that were planted by the 3C's way back when. I am still driving school bus for Warren Local Schools. I've been doing that now for 9-10 years. My husband just died November24, 2007 from non small cell lung cancer...all of you smokers out there....QUIT SMOKING !!! so you don't end up like him! Now I feel like a little lost puppy without him. We would have been married 25 years this next Valentines Day...but didn't quite make it. We got married on a monday so we could get married right on valentines day, an anniversary easy for him to remember. I will probably be moving back to good old Elkhart at some point in the future, whenever I can manage to get things in order. Then I can be back HOME and be back with family and friends. I hope this finds all healthy and happy. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to everyone ! Anita

For you music enthusiasts out there, check out the "BAND CD" link at the EHS Class of '72 website. Craig Watson (world-class horn player) and Jim Brainard (Mayor of Carmel, IN and fellow Bristolite) have remastered a CD set of recordings of the Symphonic/Stage/Jazz Band and Orchestra concerts from 1971-72. Many of our '73 classmates participated in and/or attended these concerts and Craig enthusiastically welcomes any '73 interest. I have the complete set and was pretty blown away by the sound and content produced by a bunch of 16/17yr olds. Enjoy!
