Please Make The Effort
Posted Saturday, June 6, 2009 04:02 PM

  WOW !

OK everyone... soak it in--  30  flippin years. Aside from everything else, we have a constant in our lives that we share. Regardless of all our differences, we are starting to dwindle in numbers.

...and you know what else we have shared, yes you know what it is. The people we befriended and dissed and worshiped and despised and even drolled over in High School.

There are classes out there that are not even trying to stay in touch. There are people out there that don't give a rat's pa-toot (i know- my dad taught my that phrase) about where the world is headed. In this small way we have an opportunity to add a little something to each other's lives. In this small way we have the occasional opportunity to check on old acquaintances, those we think of once in a while and say "hmmm, i wonder what they are up to these days". You know you've said it. Even the 3 guys it took to can me--- well maybe I don't mind if they show up, too. ( they didn't succeed, by the way)

SO PEOPLE-

Please make the effort to find anyone you can think of. Help someone get there if you must. Use the means you have to make this work. 30 years only comes around once(thank goodness) and enjoy some good old friends, make some new ones, and know this is the once in a lifetime shot for this get-to-gether. Don't forget any teachers that you know of that might make it, they were just doing their job, can't hold stuff against them forever... well, hmmm...

I know some of us had good relationships with some teachers, and some of the other staff as well. Then there were those of us that saw the inside of the office a little more than others, some of us made it through the halls without a pass, regularly( what? I didn't do it, nobody saw me, & you can't prove a thing), and some of us never left a certain area of the school because that is where we felt safe.

We will need help keeping this website afloat and I know if we all pitch in at some point it will work.

Woulda, coulda, shoulda doesn't work now.  Do what you can and let people know about what is going on. Even if you know where somebody's folks are still living. Find them. Even if you were not exactly friends, it has been too long now for that sort of thought. Leave a note on a door, on a desk at their work.  Whatever. Hope to see as many as possible there.

I'm trying to get there from here and will make my best effort. I can't wait to see everyone again! Does anyone have the year book that can be posted on this website? I wanted to show my kids but lost mine a long time ago.

That is something I have planned on doing.  Just haven't had the time.  Hope to see you soon!

Can't wait to see who all shows up.

I'll bring a set of year books for people to go through.
