Update on the Missing Classmates

We still have about 150 classmates to track down. Here’s a list of those for whom we have nothing — no e-mail address, no phone number, no address. Check the list and e-mail us if you have any contact information for anyone on the list. Every bit of information — a married name, a sibling’s contact information — helps.

First, the Good News

In less than two weeks — thanks to Gwynne and Facebook — we have e-mail addresses for 77 of our classmates.

The Bad News

We still have more than 225 folks to track down. Are you still in touch with someone from those fabulous mid-1970s years, someone we have yet to find? Let us know, and encourage them to send in their information. Or maybe you know someone's married name; that helps. You can e-mail us with their details and we’ll pester them, or you can send them this blog URL and the e-mail address. We’d love to have at least one hundred e-mail addresses by the end of January.

When are we going to throw this bash? You have a voice in that decision. Check out the poll on the navbar, and pick the date that best works for you.

We’re also collecting your favorite memories of our teachers. (Check out the Coach Duncan column below.) Coach Anderson and Mrs. Fellows are next to be lovingly remembered. E-mail your anecdotes.

And finally, consider joining Facebook. There are about thirty of us chatting and catching up over there.

Seriously? Y’all don’t want a party?

Beth is worried since we haven’t heard from many of y’all. I got her roped into this (well, chained, actually) because I never heard about any of the reunions — and I’d like to see everyone, dammit.

I’ve recently reconnected with a few folks from my CHS past, and it’s been a helluva lot of fun catching up. I haven’t seen most of these people in more than twenty-five years, but it felt like I saw them last week. That’s why we're eager to throw this birthday bash. Who knows how many of us have shared the same experiences or have the same interests — or who just wants to share a beer or seven with us?

Let’s get this party rolling! Leave a comment to this post if you want to go to our fiftieth birthday party.

One more thing: Phillip Barge suggested listing everyone’s birthday so we can toast each of us on as we cross the milestone. [I hit the 5-0 this Wednesday — and I want some drinking in my honor!] Want your birthday listed on this here blog? E-mail us at the Yahoo address, which you can find by clicking that profile link to the right. [We’re trying not to publish the actual address on the home page so the spammers don’t start pestering us. Because they will.]

Finally, forward the link to this blog to anyone from our class you’re talking to. We want to track down everyone we can.

So, what's this about a party?

I joined Facebook a few months ago, and one of the first CHS’ers with whom I reconnected was Greg Halleck. We’ve had fun catching up, but many of our conversations include Greg’s “I haven’t been invited to any of the reunions” whine. One night over beers we decided to throw our class a fiftieth birthday bash. Not a full-on reunion, but a good ol’ party (much like the one at Renae Edge’s house just before graduation, without all the underage drunks).

Let’s get started. Our first step is to track down as many of our classmates as we can.

Gwynne Knap, who helped plan the November 2007 thirtieth reunion, gave me her address lists (and answers to my many questions). I keep up with a handful of our classmates, and we’re cross-referencing our address books. I’ve Facebook’ed many of you, and I went gold on Classmates.com to track down others.

Addresses to date: 62. Nearly 250 missing.

That’s where you come in. Have you stayed in contact with some of our classmates? Let us know who they are. You can leave the names in the comment box, but send the contact information to the Yahoo account we’ve set up for this shindig effort. You can find the e-mail address if you click on the navbar profile link.

You could be one of the many missing. If you received the e-mail blast with this URL via the Yahoo address, you’re on the list. If someone else sent this blog address to you, you’re missing. We’ll post the list of the missing later this month.

Next step: the when (probably this summer) and the where.

As for this blog, let’s use it to plan, to network, and to reminisce. We can post photos, your favorite stories, a much-needed shout-out. You can contact us at the Yahoo address.
