Happy Fall Classmates:
 
Plans are being made for our 50th reunion.  The "main event", is set for Saturday evening, August 15, 2015.  It will be a full weekend of celebrations and functions, please save the date!  All suggestions for activities are welcome.  Nancy Otis Cusson chaired the committee for our very successful 45th reunion, and we hope she will again accept that challenge.  Several classmates have expressed interest in helping with the planning and preparations.  In this day of instant communications, don't hesitate to use our website's message center, link on the left side window, to send messages to the website crew  or any of our registered classmates.   Classmates profiles are also accessible, and a message, private or public can be sent.  We also have a "contact us" link.  We are hoping for a great turnout and lots of fun for everyone.  So exciting!
