The Bugle is on the way

Autumn reunion discussed

Updating the Class Directory

 

The Bugle was sent to the printers the third week of July, and should be in the mail by the first week of August. Inside this issue is a questionnaire that is very important to those of us working on the new book, Our Times, as well as the 55th reunion.  Please take a few minutes, fill it out and return it to us.  This will be very much appreciated, and will be of immense help in carrying out both above class projects.

At a meeting in Overland Park, towards the end of June, several classmates met to discuss the book, Our Times, and later to kick around a few questions concerning the 55th Class Reunion. Everyone had a great time, we celebrated three classmate birthdays (Dave Fiser's, Larry Chartier's and Sharon (Hoss) Freeborn's) with a chocolate birthday cake, plus a considerable number of questions were answered about both Our Times and the 55th reunion. Those attending were: Dave Fiser, Pat Dougherty, Jan (Carlson) Journey, Craig Chappell, Sharon (Stover) Aldrich, Larry Chartier and John King.
 

From what we understand, the MHS Class of '57 is one of very few classes that produces and prints out a class directory. Our updated directory will be underway in a couple months.  There are two things patently obvious concerning our directory.  The first is that it cannot be produced without classmate information, and secondly, it is only useful if that information is current.  We are at a point in our lives when many are "downsizing", and others moving to be closer to children and grandchildren, and so on.  These things, coupled with the usual changes in e-mail and home addresses,  as well as phone numbers, makes the gathering of up to date information essential for an effective class directory.  So, if you have had changes affecting your information in the directory, please let us know by sending those changes to:

John King - jking@mhs57.org
or
Jan Journey - jabberj@interkan.net

 

Happiness is not so much in having as sharing. We make a living by what we get, but we make a life by what we give.

Love doesn't make the world go 'round;
love is what makes the ride worthwhile.

How far you go in life depends on you being tender with the young, compassionate with the aged, sympathetic with the striving and tolerant of the weak and the strong. Because someday in life you will have been all of these.
