October 15th, PLHS Reunion

Mike Russell, Keith Darracq, Alex McDougall, and Blaine Roberts.


Greetings!

The PLHS 45th Anniversary Reunion was held tonight at Nick's at the Pier, and those in attendance had a great time.  My reluctance to take flash photos in the evening light probably doomed a large photo video, but I have some hopes that the several other attendees with cameras caught enough to make an enjoyable collage of our classmates.  I'll post them as I get them to a Picasa album, and send you al a link to it.

Imagine ninety faces whose eyes and smiles haven't changed much in 45 years, now beaming back from bodies which have, but are still holding up.  Small clusters of 4-6 spread all over an upstairs bar sitting our standing with drinks and hors d'oeuvres (a little slow in arriving - sorry), and re-visiting old stories and new rumors.  Will Point Loma really close?  Fortunately, english lit teacher and baseball coach Kermeen (Punkie) Fristrom and his wife were there to straighten us out again.  Though some reorganization may occur in the junior high schools in the area, PLHS will stay the same design and open.

In the end, the comments all seem to include the agreement at some point in the evening that we had a pretty good education.  Sadly, most also agreed that schools in recent years would not be given the same grades.  Many thanks were given to the Reunion organizers for an excellent evening, and all seemed to be encouraging a more robust effort for the 50th.  At least three classmates volunteered to join the Reunion Committee.

Here is a link to the few photos I took: Oct 15th, PLHS Reunion

Homecoming Game at PLHS

Greetings!

This evening, I went to the PLHS Homecoming game.  Kim Melhorn, our favorite Alumni coordinator,  stood near the front gate with a Pointer sign she had made today, greeting alums and letting them know there would be a parade at half-time, and that they were invited to participate.  I took the opportunity to check in with her about the Reunion, and then went off to see if I could capture the game in photos.

Here's the result. Hope you enjoy it.

Reunion RSVPs

Greetings!


With all the different ways in which we're trying to get ahold of members of the PLHS Class of 1966, I'm using this post on this blog to keep track of who is coming and who might be coming.  


The Reunion is planned for the Saturday (Oct 15th) after the Friday Homecoming (14th), at Nick's at the Pier, 5083 Santa Monica Blvd, Ocean Beach.  We'll be setting up around 4pm, opening at 5pm, and closing down at 10pm.  We're trying to make sure we know who all is coming, so we can have a proper name tags and make sure folks get together.  There will be a $10 cover charge to cover our facility, hors d'oeuvres, and DJ costs (60's music), but you'll be responsible for paying for your own drinks. 


By the way, if you're going to the Homecoming, be sure to call the Financial Office at the School (talk to Mara) to get tickets held at the will call.  I recently got a emailed update from the Alumni org which reminded us that it sometimes sells out.  I tried to buy tickets online, but was unable to find out how, so I called and Mara helped me reserve them.  The number is (619) 223-3121, ext. 1112.


The same email says that the Class of 69 is holding their 60's birthday party at Nick's at the same time we'll be there.  I have spoken with Vickie Cocke (their coordinator), and we're working together to make sure we all have fun.  They'll be using the smaller dining area, and we'll be in the larger bar area.  We're going to collaborate on music and signs and communication with Nick's.
And it will give us another reason for why we're not recognizing each other.

To learn more, there are groups on Facebook where you can post comments full of info, and respond to those who post there.  Each group also has an event page where there might be additional comments.  Please explore as I tried to use every tool I could to get the word out, and invite all of us to talk.







Fortunately, our Reunion Committee and many Pointer Sisters are contacting their friends in our class to make sure they know.  If you know of anyone not on the confirmed list who you suspect is coming, or you suspect may not know, please feel free to  contact them for us.

October 15th Reunion Planned

The Reunion is planned for the Saturday (Oct 15th) after the Friday Homecoming (14th), at Nick's at the Pier, 5083 Santa Monica Blvd, Ocean Beach.  We'll be setting up around 4pm, opening at 5pm, and closing down at 10pm.  We're trying to make sure we know who all is coming, so we can have a proper name tags and make sure folks get together.  There will be a $10 cover charge to cover our facility, hors d'oeuvres, and DJ costs (60's music), but you'll be responsible for paying for your own drinks. 

Because I know most people will not take much notice of the Reunion until shortly before, unless they are coming from out of town, I want to create some sort of interim activity online which helps those who are up for it to share a bit about themselves.  It could be a Yearbook linking all of our blogs, Facebook pages, or other web personas.  I'm going to inquire of other Reunion committees on Classmates and the Alumni Register to see what they have come up with to expand captivity prior to the Reunion.

I'm using a couple of internet resources to post information.  Classmates wasn't working out with its many restrictions, so I put together a PLHS Class of 1966 45th Reunion Facebook page, which I'm using in addition to posting info on the Alumni webpage and Classmates.

You know me, alway trying to bring folks together around common interests.

May 8th, Yearbook Progress

Greetings!

Now that we have a date and proposed place for the 2011 Class of 1966's 45th Yr Reunion, I'm going to use posts to this blog to create an updated yearbook for our class. Starting with those listed in our original senior yearbook, and including those who have contacted the school and the alumni association, it will be the most comprehensive information I can assemble.

Yearbook Progress

Greetings!

Well, I've taken all of the information from the PLHS Alumni database, and the 1966 Yearbook, and constructed an Excel spreadsheet with the maiden and married names and emails of everyone I could find from past reunions, Classmates, Facebook, and LinkedIn. Of the 800 classmates, I've got 67 on both Classmates and Facebook, 124 on Classmates alone, and 50 more on Facebook alone. That leaves 559 that I have no idea where they are. If anyone would be interested in getting a copy of it to help me continue to track down our classmates, drop me an email at gfearon@sonic.net.
