Finally, a photo to post to the Class Reunion Blog!I loved Mike Ansted like a brother, but how in the world did he beat out Dan Kelly, Joe Gresnick, Lou Galloway (who looked great at the 4oth reunion), and Tommy "I gotta dance" Kupferer, for the King of the June 1966 Prom? But I am proud out you.....you Shad you!
Now on the other hand, the Prom Queen must have been a real squeaker of a competition between Sue Latimer and I can't STOP dancing Trudy Prenavo and cute as a button (that's what her father called her) Patricia Bowolak.
Our congratulation to the class of June 1966 for pulling together such a good looking, athletic and congenial group to rain....I mean reign over THE BIG NIGHT.
For those of us graduating in January I just don't know what happened to my color picture of our Senior Prom court. Perhaps it's because I was overlooked for the honor. But I'm not bitter, I'm just grateful that I found someone to go with me to the senior prom!
But I hope to see more people at the 45 th that might have passed/missed/forgot to come to a previous reunion. I;m looking forward to seeing Larry Visos, Brenda Dunlap, Janet Waymire, Mike Willis, Gary Tash, and Melinda Soroka.....all from Dewey School in Dog Town.
Also looking forward to seeing some of my good friends like Sue, Joyce, Bev, Frank, Rob, Jeff, Gayle and Schmidt.
Unfortunately I know for sure that Tommy Gunn Kupfere and David Too Tall Dembeck will not be able to attend this year. If you have their email send them a sorry we mill you missive. Or better yet wrap up some food on the 3oth and send it to them via UPS. Only kidding, I am sure they have good reasons for not attending. I am just happy that they still know how to type (but not tweet) and send emails.
PS: a note from Linda (Karpinski) Compton that she is really looking forward to seeing some old friends. Don't worry, you won't find any young ones there Linda, but plenty of old ones! And a lot can change in the 25 years since your last visit.....be brave, very very brave. And don't wear your glasses or contacts, people will look much better!
That's it.
