MHS Class of 55 member sends in update!

Stan Thompson has made contact and included an update since the 50th reunion in 2005.

Stan wites: We've been living in the north of England since June, 2006 and actually have not done that much traveling outside of a couple of trips to Spain, over to Morocco, and one short trip to Germany. Most of our travel has been to Scotland, which is easy, because we're only 48 miles from the Scottish border.

I retired at the end of 2006. I am dealing with some health issues but nothing that interferes with normal activities. I started playing in a concert band in Kendal early in 2008 and am enjoying it a lot. I am unlikely to attend the 55th.

Regards to all,

The lost has been found!

We are happy to announce that Winnie Sandberg Woudstra has made contact with the class and reports that everything is OK! The most important information is that Winnie has a new e-mail address. If you would like to update your address book, please contact us and we will pass on this info to class members only!

Winnie has a completly new computer system recently installed by her son to replace her original. She now reports that she is back again in the computer world!

Thanks Winnie, it was great to re-connect and know you are fine!

Miller House Catering is selected by the Class of "55" to provide Banquet for the 55th year event. This local Caterer is well known for their lavish Banquets with excellent food. The menu is outstanding and they guarantee "No one will go away hungry!" This Catering service was selected from a final field of three and was felt by the committee to be the very best to provide the reunion banquet. The biggest draw for this service was their selection of the main meat menu items. Every person present will enjoy not one but two meat items along with an abundant selection of side dishes, salads and deserts. The cost per person will be determined in the near future and notices will be sent out to each class member.

Plan now to attend the Class reunion on Saturday, August 21st with a mix-n-mingle at 5:00 p.m. with the banquet being served at 6:00 p.m. Location: Montesano City Hall Banquet room.

Second Day event: Class pot-luck Bar-B-Q on Sunday afternoon, August 22nd at the home of Charlie and Betty Crass, 7 Kayla Drive, Monte. Meat items will be provided by the class. Bring a side dish of your choice. Event starts at 1:00 p.m.

The pool will be open, so bring your swimsuits!
