North Kansas City-Oak Park

Now that we have a dedicated website for our 50th Reunion, the task at hand is to get everyone informed. In a few weeks, there will be a comprehensive list of missing classmates, but for now--spread the word!

Invitation to Lunch

There is a group of '66 classmates who regularly meet for lunch on a monthly basis. Most who attend live in the KC area or joing the group when they are in town for a visit. Becky Tillman makes the arrangements for these gatherings and has asked me to post an invitation to those of you who will be coming to town for the 70th Birthday Bash.

The June lunch will take place Friday, June 22 at 11:30 am. If you wish to join in, please email Becky at rebtil@yahoo.com. This RSVP is for the lunch only...

Birthday Bash Set for June 23

For those of you who wish to collectively celebrate our 70th birthday year, we have planned on June 23 at the Brass Rail from six to ten in the evening. Many thanks for the emails and calls advising me of your preferences. Do contact as many classmates as you can to spread the news. Go to the RSVP page to indicate if you will be attending. This will be immeasurably helpful in knowing how many to plan for. Hope to see you there!

Seventy is the new fifty?

Happy Birthday to Us!!! We are or will be 70 this year and, quite frankly, we don't look it. There has been chatter among the '66 grads about celebrating together in a single blowout 70th birthday party. So the question is, what do YOU think? From what I've been hearing, June appeals to some people and late summer/early fall to others. Also, the idea seems to be to keep it simple--find a venue (which will depend on the number attending) and set a time.

Before we set up a poll page on this web...

Really? You guys are 70??!! Mid June to mid July good for us. September not so good. Let us know! Like seeing the ‘old gand’

Fredrick McGraw on March 8, 2018 1:21 PM

Sounds like a great idea, and I would try to make it if at all possible.

Linda (Stewart) Mayfield on March 6, 2018 6:29 PM

This sounds like a great idea. 70 being the new 50 especially! We are expecting a new grandbaby in June so that might NOT be a good month for us to be away from home. Fall would be better in my case but I would make an effort whenever it is!

Pat (Henson) Julian on March 6, 2018 5:18 PM

I'd love to celebrate our 70th birthdays - what a great, round number!
September/Fall would work better for me, but I'm happy to go with the consensus and will do my best to join all of you.
I think just a general get together for lunch idea would be easiest to plan for all involved.
Looking forward to rolling back the years again -

I'd much prefer September/Fall timeframe - but will go with the consensus and do my best to be there. Seventy or 17 - the years seem to fall away when we get together and remember the good times!

Thanks, Toni, for getting the ball rolling. Again. I appreciate you!

June seems like a good time. Great idea!

Larry Willis on March 5, 2018 8:29 PM

It's always good to see old friends. June sounds good for a get together but so does having something in the fall. The great thing about retirement is we can manage our own schedule.

Go Northmen! Larry Willis

Sherry Cossyphas on March 5, 2018 2:32 PM

I think this is a great idea and I would be able to attend if it does take place in June. I will not be able to make the trip in July, August, or September due to prior commitments.

Looking forward to seeing y’all. No kidding, I still cannot quite believe we are turning 70!

Sounds like a great idea, I didn't get to attend the 50 year reunion

Photos, photos and more photos

The professional pictures are in and I am in the process of posting them to the website. The first of three batches is on the Photo Albums page and the other two will be added shortly. I have sent the link to the photographer to those attendees for whom I have an email address. If you haven't received this link and you want to do so, let me know through the Contact page on the website.

A good time was had by all

Two week now since the 50th reunion gala and lots of happy memories of reconnecting with old friends and making new ones. The professional photos won't be ready for another few weeks, but you should be able to post your photos to the website by going to the Photo Albums page. Ron Roberts took a lot of good pics and I think he will post them soon (for those who haven't already seen them on Facebook).

Many thanks to everyone who showed up to make it a truly memorable evening.

Yikes! It's here . . .

Here we are--ready to reconnect and ready to party. Just a few last minute notes regarding the weekend festivities. First of all, if you haven't browsed the FAQ page, please do that. I know the website makes it look like you should have a ticket for the dinner, but this is a metaphorical ticket, as it were. You will check in at the registration table and collect your name tag and be ready to mingle.

See you very, very soon.

Very soon . . .

We are less than two weeks away from the reunion and I know I'm excited. There are still a few of you who have RSVP'd and not bought tickets. As a teacher I am loathe to do this, but the deadline for buying tickets will be extended until next Tuesday, September 13. No tickets will be sold at the door.

Please review the website and definitely read the FAQ page which provides much additional information on the reunion events.

Dust off your dancing shoes and make sure you have some extra Celeb...

ONE MONTH AWAY

One month away and the excitement is building. If you haven't already had your Botox it may be too late (unless you want Jack Nicholson eyebrows for the event), but no worries--you look much younger than all those other people shuffling on the dance floor.

Ticket sales continue through September 1 so get 'em while you can. Also RSVP for the picnic, the NKCHS tour, the OPHS homecoming game. Please refer to the FAQ page for further insight.

Continue to refer to this website for updates.

See...

Getting closer

Here we are less than three months away from our 50th high school reunion. And let me just say, "No! It can't be. You look much too young to be having a fiftieth high school reunion."

The information in the previous blog still stands, so take a minute to refer to that before I introduce a new request: There is now a place on the RSVP page of the website to RSVP to the picnic, the NKCHS tour and the OPHS Homecoming game. It is especially important for us to know how many will be attending the pic...

Six months and counting

Six months until the reunion! This time will pass quickly and it will be here before you know it, so here are some things you need to do:

   * Bookmark this website for easy access and check periodically to keep up to date with people and events. There will be new pages added and polls to respond to over the next few months.

   * Post a short profile or mini-bio on the Classmates page of the website. (Gee, where have you heard that before???)

   * Post a tribute to a late classmat...
