Hey! Just an update about the blog, reunion, etc. Thanks Julie(t) (Coberly) Farmer for agreeing to be the contact person for the reunion next year. It will be great to have someone local to nail down a venue, field calls, etc. In the next few weeks, this blog will be getting a major face lift with the main intention being to serve as a reunion site. You might notice I removed the poll to vote on the preferred month. I did that because of the feedback I'm getting on the side about a possible Sept/October event. When I get the blog "reunionified" I will put the poll back up and make sure to include those months as options (sorry to those 8 of you who had already voted).
My main job is going to be to maintain the blog, help collect pictures from the masses, market the reunion on the internet, rally up people for this and that - all in collaboration with
Julie(t). Cindy (Shute) Halloway is also helping. If anyone else who happens by here would like to help, let us know. I think we are good as far as getting the ball rolling but as the event gets closer we may need some extra hands.
So at this point I need to ask for help with one little something. If anyone has a copy of our class picture - the 11x17 one where everyone is outside on the lawn (or somewhere) at DC - I'm in desperate need of finding that sucker. I looked in my stuff because I thought I had that, but no luck. If you find it and mail it to me (hard copy) I promise to mail it back. If you can scan it and email it to me - even better!
While rummaging through my "back in the day" stuff, I did find lots of treasures. I still have my "Blasting Out - Free at Last" class of 89 DC t-shirt with all of our names on the back. I also found my 89 tassel and grad cap. Fun! But the really good stuff is in the yearbooks I started to thumb through. Laura was right, it's good times to look through these and see what people wrote. I had forgotten that our own Jen Ham was Queen! Queen Ham!!! That made me smile. I had forgotten a lot actually. I guess that is what happens when in high school your priorities are boys and parties. Anyway, after Laura's comment I was a little nervous when I saw Dave Roth's name on the inside front cover just as I was getting started - but he was very kind to me. After 1/2 a page of harrassing me about making Mrs. Brito have a break down in Spanish class, he said, "I wish you the best in whatever you pursue in the future. You're capable of acheiving anything Temple. Just NEVER quit." Thanks Dave...no wonder 19 years later it's still you giving me pep talks (inside joke ;p). So if you still have 'em, sometime within the next year, start thumbing through your yearbooks to get yourself in the spirit.
We got the spirit...yes we do...we got the spirit...how 'bout you! This has taken a very cheesy turn...
Cheers,
Temp

Shawn-
Is the Cedar Room too small? ;p Hey, did you hear they closed Brother Olivers? Mm hm. The manager from there is now bar tending at the CRoom. I heard there is the Veteran's place in Citrus Heights you can rent. What about the place Kelly had her wedding? My Aunt & Uncle used to have Shrine events there all the time when I was a kid.

I say we just meet up and take over the Back Door. AmyB
What about a hotel so us out of towners have a place to sleep?
Laura-
We promise that whatever the venue ends up being a hotel will be very close by! Stay tuned...

Me again...the locations listed here under this post are in regards to the party Shawn & Dave have been talking about throwing this fall - you coming? But as far as the actual reunion - hotel will be nearby as stated in my last comment.

Fun stuff kids. At least people blog on your site. I don't think my class knows how. Our reunion is this weekend, so excited. I will give you all a full report on the goings on!!! Maybe a picture or two for you Temp.
Oh, sorry. I will not be attending the festivities since i live 4,000 miles away, but can't wait to see ya'll real soon.
Farid sent me this link - awesome! We are in the midst of planning an 80's party for the parents at my daughter's school, and then a huge 80s-themed auction next spring. It seems I am surrounded by 80's lately!!!
I have the 11x17 photo in question. I will scan it. Where should I send it? I also have many people's prom photos if your are looking for some blackmail material. :)

Jenny,
Hey! If you can email that to me at temples@unr.edu it would be great. I have someone else working on that but if you beat them to it all the better. As the blog moves forward and pics are collected, we'll post announcements for what we are lacking. Glad you stopped by and thanks again!

Hey, if anyone has a million pictures to scan & give to Sondra don't bother doing it yourself - Walgreens will scan up to 80 pictures and put them on a disk for $5.99. Way worth it.
