Bryan Bucklin sent along these photos of the progress on the new football / track stadium.

There were plenty of weddings and graduations over the weekend that kept some from the mini-reunion.  Here are pictures sent in by Bryan Bucklin from one of the celebrations:

We had a great time at the mini-reunion in Bemus Point…  I don’t remember what was so funny in this shot:

In case you didn’t get the email, you are invited to an informal gathering of the Class of ‘74!

• When?  Saturday, June 28th, 5pm
• Where?  Shaggy’s at the See Zurh House, Bemus Point (click here for more info)
• Requested by: Shannon Desmond who will be in town for a family gathering.

Tom Priester forwarded the following email to me. In an earlier email, he said that the project is ahead of schedule and may be ready by this fall.

With regard to the bleachers this is what your system will look like with the red risers.

If you guys have anything else your looking for, just drop me a line.

Tom,

I spoke with Paul Nagle, who is the gentlemen that is installing, and lining your track. I brought up the items you were looking for (starts labeled, an extra set of lane numbers, and solid transition arrows). These items will all be taken care of at no charge to the district. If you can think of anything else, please let me know.

Thanks,

MICHAEL W. NOGA

Fran would be Fran Sirianni who, while retired from teaching, still coaches…  football in the fall, track in the spring.  In the fall, his boss is his son…

Here are the pictures that were attached to the email:

One of your classmates sent me this photo:

So, who remembers?

From Barbie Williams O’Brien:

I went to Florida the end of March and came back the first weekend in April.  While I was in Ft. Lauderdale I rented a car and drove up to Clermont, Florida just past Orlando to visit with Todd Benson.  We had a nice visit and went out to lunch and then I had to head back to Ft. Lauderdale.  Attached is a picture of us in his yard.

Hard to believe next year there will be our 35 year class reunion.  I can’t wait.

The email addresses I have for the following people return error messages.  If any of you know new addresses for these people, please let me know… or let them know to send an email to SWCS1974 <at> excite <dot> com.

• Kathy Brandow Goodwin - got it!  Thanks!
• Holly Hutchinson Osborne

There are many classmates for whom we have no email at all, too.  And we need to get the postal addresses up to date.  2009 is closer than you think!  So send me any info you have on classmates, even if you think I may already have it!  Thanks!

Also, please vote:  when would you prefer we try to schedule our next reunion?  July, August, or Thanksgiving Weekend?

Sue Shaw Turnquist reports visiting her parents:

Matthew and I are back, safe and sound, from our excellent ski trip out west with my 84 year-old dad as tour guide! 4 different resorts in 4 days, in 3 different states. Here we are at 49 Degrees North in Chewalah, Washington.
