Another great job on the 40th reunion..... see how many of us will be in depends and in wheelchasirs at the 45th reunion.

Riding the bicycle back to Carbondale yesterday was quite an ordeal. First of all I paid the price for having TOO MUCH FUN Saturday evening. Got on my bike about 10:30 AM and had a flat at around 11 AM South of Wamac. Rear tire of course. Instead of taking Rt. 51 back I opted to head on county and backroads over to Nashville and pick up Rt. 127 which is a much more bike friendly highway with wide paved shoulders. The HEAT damn near did me in though.... but hey made it.

Hi everybody!!

I am a Quayle again. It has been an exciting ride but I think I like my first life the best!! I am still teaching with Don at CJHS in Centralia. We are all soon retiring in the next 3-4 years.
My family has grown and left the nest (Kate 22, Tom 20, Andy 19) and I decided to leave, too. I missed the last few reunions, but don't plan on missing this one!! Don has assured me I will again fit right in with the wild bunch.
Here I am. See if you remember me.
Candy

This will probably come as a big surprise, since we haven't chatted in a long while but I talked to Mark and Maureen about a week ago shortly after they attened their reunion. That's not news but what was a bit of a shock to them was that several members of the class of 71' approached them with inquiries about my health and well-being. The rumor seemed to be that I had retired from the Navy (true) and was seriously ill. (VERY UNTRUE) I am doing about as well as could be expected for a "slightly" out of shape 51 year old with a 12 year old daughter. Although I retired about 14 months ago, I am now working with a veterans consortium that finds attorneys to represent veterans before the Court of Appeals for Veterans Claims. And looking forward to 35th reunion. Anyway, if anyone should inquire, rumors of my demise are greatly exagerated.

Beyond that, I must report that mom and dad are well settled in Washington IL with Maureen keeping a watchful eye over them from about a mile away. Kaitlyn will be going into 8th grade and life is reasonably good when trains aren't blowing up in downtown Baltimore. (Commute from Annapolis to DC sucks tho.}

Please give best to all the 68 grads, especially Danny, and Melissa. Hope to see Centralia sooner than 03, but with folks up north it may be harder than usual.

Go Orphans,
Head

It is with great sadness that I need to let you know that Mom & Dad will be movng to Washington Illinois on 2 May.  This is where Maureen and her boys are and a lot closer to Mark and his family who are  in Macomb.  I will be in town to help with the move - they have been packing for some time so that part will be easy, but if anybody wants to drop by and say bye to them (or hi to me) please do so.  While I'll be back for the reunions, I will miss the Holiday tournament and just running into folks when out and about at Christmas.   Mom and Dad have been there for over 38 years and 16 Magnolia will always be "home."  [The Old Myers Place??]  Of course I can't forget "flocked Chrismas trees" Danny pulling up in the jeep or Curt Knolhoff standing on my front porch to tell me not to see Martha Brink anymore.  (Ah the excesses of youth.)  I guess the one good thing is that when we close the door for the last time I will have great good fortune of having both of them with me to drive north with.

One additional bit of news is my retirement.  On 1 May I'm out of the Navy after 24 years.  New e-mail will be DHMLaw606@aol.com.  See you in  '03 if not sooner. 

Head

Don and committee,
Just wanted you to know how neat we think your web page is. That was a wonderful idea. Although we weren't able to make it this year, we sure got a kick out of reading what everyone had to say and especially looking at the pictures of all you OLD people. Again, thanks for letting us share in the reunion which we otherwise would have missed out on!!

It was great to see all of you, and catch up on where everyone is. We (THE ICEBERG TWINS AND JUNGLEWOMAN) had a wonderful time, and we are already looking forward to the next time.

Thanks again for providing your home (Don), and being such a great host on friday night.

Just wanted to drop everyone a note and let you know how much fun all of us had at the reunion. Thanks for all of your hard work and pass along our thanks to the rest of the committee, too! Thanks to Don and Sandy, Margaret, Myra and Lonnie, Doug, Ty and Melissa, too.

As I mentioned to Don on Wednesday evening after the reunion, you might think of a brunch on Sunday morning for the next reunion. I have a friend whose class did that and it was a nice end to the weekend.

Thanks again, McKelvey and I had a nice exit from Centralia as the temperatures neared 100. It is nice to be home again and out of the humidity. I don't know how you take it.

Stay in touch!

I am Yvonne (Sprehe) Metzger from the CHS Class of 73. My husband is Victor Metzger, Class of 70. I was searching for information on the Balloon Fest and searching for former classmates' email addresses when I ran across your page for your class reunion. I was quite impressed with your committee's organization in forming the Class Reunion Page.

I just wanted to say thank you for making your page as there are a few people from your class that I knew in the past before moving to Florida and now I have their email addresses and will attempt to contact them to say hello.
