I will be posting this information one our class facebook page.  Does anyone have a dollar amount that you would expect from each person?  Are invites being sent out or is this all word of mouth?

Steven Kaufhold

I'll suggest $20 to $25 each

Connie asked about the reunion and whether we are spreading information about the event via  word of mouth or mail, etc.  At this time the messaging about the event has been via this parkhigh74.com web site and perhaps word of mouth.

I do not currently have a list of addresses (usps or email)  or phone numbers to send direct messages to.

Does someone have a list compiled from prior reunions?

I am not sure if this site has the ability to send out an "evite" email to the group such that  an email would go out to everyone who has a login for this website.   

I would be nice to send out something like an evite with RSVP as a way to determine how many people are planning to attend.  - Jeff

We are looking into a DJ for the class reunion for the evening of October 5th.

Does anyone have suggestions for DJs we can contact  for availability and cost?

Thanks!

A friend of mine has a DJ setup. He's traveling for work more than he use to, I'll check with him, he lives in Prescott so he's close by. 
I'm having lunch with him Friday, I'll pass along the info then or sooner.

Hi!  Just checked in and reminded myself to send the donation.  Check will be in the mail tomorrow (literally)!

Jeff you asked if anyone had a contact list of classmates.  I have photocopies of a list from 2009 and an excel spreadsheet roster (I may have collated the lists when I volunteered for the 2009 reunion).  So much changes in 10 years but it might be a start.  I can email them to you or print out copies and mail them.  Let me know if you are interested.  I also have the files from something called a "Class Reunion Book" that is images of things related to the class of 74.

Looking forward to the reunion!  Hope everyone is having a great summer!

We have secured a DJ for the Class Reunion! Thanks for your help in our search! Remember to RSVP by September 5th so we have a good head count for food planning. We are anticipating a $25 charge to help cover costs. Enjoy your weekend!

Veronica Borowicz (Moen)I'm sorry to say that Veronica Borowics (Moen) passed away from cancer in March of 2019.

I remember her as a very good natured person with a sweet smile.

We'll miss you, Veronica!

I found this notification at the Kok Funeral Home website today.  I hate to bring more sad news, but Robin (I always remembered him as "Dale) passed away just this past Friday.

I found this on YouTube this morning.  1974 Greatest Hits Playlist.  Not sure if I agree with all of the songs but it was interesting to listen to.

Hey Classmates! I am getting several mail returns from the class reunion invites. Please update this website and get any changes to me at ymn.fitnessplus@gmail.com so I can send you an invite. We need a head count by 9/5/19. Thanks!

Thanks Kathy for the music; I began to listen... I will finish later.  I am always thankful for growing up at a time when folk music/rock/blues/ jazz and blues (Think Steeley Dan), etc. could be heard on my transistor radio. Did anyone have for their first transistor one that was a Rocketship?   Yvette, I am mailing my check today.  Looking forward to the time in October (remember the song,  "try to remember the kind of September." ? :)  Back to work!  Blessings on everyone enjoying this great weather!

Does it make anyone paranoid when they say something or post a response, and no one answers for days? Weeks? Months? Did you say something? 😊

Kathy, do you remember this often-heard song, “Paranoia strikes deep, Into your life it will creep, it starts when you're always afraid…”  ðŸ˜Š (Buffalo Springfield, 1966, “For What It’s Worth- Did anyone else own any of their records?).

There's something happening here
What it is ain't exactly clear
There's a man with a gun over there
Telling me I got to beware

Douglas Kladis

I got a good reason for loving you
It's an old fashioned sign
I kinda get the feelin' like mmm you know when
I fell in love the first time.
Kind woman
Won't you love me tonight
The look in your eyes
Kind woman
Don't leave me lonely tonight
Please say it's all right

Michael, I thought you would have posted one of first songs that I couldn’t play well on the guitar, “So your brother's bound and gagged And they've chained him to a chair Won't you please come to Chicago just to sing In a land that's known as freedom how can such a thing be fair, Won't you please come to Chicago for the help that we can bring We can change the world rearrange the world It's dying - to get better Politicians…”   In fact, I was hoping you would have and then we could have taken that as an invite to your house. The tie in with that song is, of course, Crosby, Stills, Nash, And Young (Stills and Young from Buffalo Springfield). 😊

And Doug, Thanks for that Richie Furay song (Furay and Messina were in Buffalo Springfield)… I heard a song after a Lamaze class in 1984 for my second child (who gave birth a month ago to granddaughter Adeline).  I asked the hospital worker to play the credits to see if I was right at recognizing Furay’s voice.  The song was full of life and they played a part every time a baby was born in the film (one of his early new found Christian faith songs).  We used to song tie-ins while running for hours… to keep occupied.  Seldom can our generation not connect and connect and…  Have a BLESSED LABOR DAY WEEKEND!

I'd probably recognize most of Buffalo Springfield if I heard it

up here we have AM 740 WDGY with 60s and 70s

how about this one that's probably been "played into the ground"?

"Woman oh woman
Have you got cheating on your mind, on your mind"

name that band

Gary Puckett and the Union Gap.

Steve Hardy used to play that song all the time when we were challenging each other in playing pool for a couple of hours a night.  "Mercy," that was a long time ago. Steve, speaking of Steve Hardy, he used to do a mean rendition of a Uriah Heap song. So, Brent, did you have the record of Gary P? Album or single?


08/31/19 07:57 PM #1600    

 

Brent Reimnitz

Had (maybe still have) their greatest hits album.  The Uriah Heap song was maybe Easy Livin'.
