Medical Lake High School Grads Organization
1959 - 1969
Reunion of the Decades Newsletter #2

Happy Thanksgiving to everyone…hope your holiday is filled with family, friends and much more. It is so nice to have special occasions to bring friends and families together.

Gary has been working long hours to get the website ready for a preview by all of you. The address is - http://www.mlhsgrads.org  Go take a peek and let us know what you think. I want those who have contributed to this "most worthy" endeavor to know how much it has meant to me to have your financial support. Again, please accept my deepest gratitude to you. Those who have contributed toward cost of the domain thus far are:

Jim Bauman ‘67 Johnson Marsalis ‘63 Pete Kuhlman ‘64 Larry Bauman ‘66 Jim Collier ‘66 Dennis Streich ‘66 Quentin Mark Holt ‘66 Diane Young Dance ‘65 2 Anonymous donors

I hope more of you will see how this website will be a tool in finding all of the graduates that comprise this graduate organization and you will contribute something so we can maintain the site.  I am so proud of this site and so very grateful to my dear friend Gary Olson who has crafted a lovely representation of our years at Medical Lake High School.  Oh the memories!  Thank you Gary for the many, many hours you have so graciously devoted to the construction of our website.

Lots of love and hugs to you!

Your help is needed in locating classmates and when you have information let me know the details.  It is so important as the reunion gets closer and closer.  Remember July 30, 31 and Aug 1, 2004. Our database is updated on a daily basis.  I have asked several people to serve as managers for their graduation class.  A few have accepted and if this is something you think you can manage it would really help. We are scattered all over the U.S. with a few in other countries.  I am working on a few details that I would like you to accomplish as you manage locating, connecting and informing those classmates within your graduation year.  Everyone should try to locate at least 5 people and just think of the rewards.

If a classmate or relative doesn’t have an email, I am sending the letters regular mail too. You will also be able to access every newsletter or special announcement on the website.  Eventually I will need everyone’s mailing address for registration purposes etc.  We are also planning a special tribute to those that are no longer with us; so if you have information about a deceased classmate let me know this too.

Additionally, we are looking for teachers. I have Mr. Kyle’s email and Mrs. Brown’s email. There are a lot more out there and we hope to have them in attendance at our Saturday night dinner.

This is a BIG job and misunderstandings do occur.  My phone number is (253) 435-1995.  Please feel comfortable contacting me if something is bothering you or if you just want to chat.  I have enjoyed talking with so many of you already.

Okay, enough said. I hope to have the hotel accommodations finalized by the first of the year – Jan 2004.  You will be able to register for the reunion online.  Won’t that be great!
