Class of 1977 - 35th year REUNION - You in?

Hello classmates.  Now since you have been provided a link to this blog, and you are reading this, good.  YOu have passed the over 50 test.  We wanted to take a poll to access the interest in a mid-10 reunion.  We are planning on Labor Day weekend, 31 Aug - 2 Sep 2012, here in St. Louis.  A few of us have been meeting to look at possible venues and discuss options.  But, we need to access interest!  Also, if you would like to help with the planning we could use some additional commitment.  Please answer by email below to Renell's email:   youonurway@aol.com and indicate YES or NO in the subject line.  Or, make comments in the body of the email.  Feel free to forward this link to those we may have missed, I'm having a little trouble with the class email address.

50th Birthdays


For many of us in the class of 1977, the 50th birthday has occurred already or is in the process of occurring. So, we were like 1958 - 1959 babies - some of the 59'ers got moved to the 78 class but many of us or just becoming lucky enough to be half a century. So, congrats to all y'all half a 100. You made it. On that note, come on out and wish RUBY a happy Birthday at Janae's West, August 21st, 7:30pm. Happy Birthday RUBY.

Just for FUN



Stephanie, Vetra, Larry in 1987


Paula Lewis in 1987

Ya know, I just didn't know that our clothing was still so tiny in 1987! When did the sweatshops give us a break? Paula, well, she's OK, but behind her - is that Abe? Well, in any case, enjoy these and get ready to visit our ONLINE PHOTO ALBUMS, where you will find more gems like these for you viewing pleasure. Visit back this weekend to link to the lost photos of '87. Also, many of you have digital photos that need to get into the ALBUM - well, you can email them to me. Or contact me and I'll tell you how to upload them yourself! Sounds like a plan.

Thank YOU.


The members of the reunion committee would like to send a heartfelt THANK YOU to all of you that attended. You traveled from so many places to make the reunion a 'roaring' success. The venues were top-notch with excellent food and drink. So to all of you Carol Jo, and Howie, Michael, Delearn, Teresa, Beth, Humphrey, Roland, Leonard, Paul, Hallie, and Donnie. To all of y'all I missed as I go through a senior forty-ish moment of not remembering names, oh, Larry, Tony, Lawrence, Carla, Hillary, Mary, Kathy, Edna, Juliet, Mark, Charles, Ann, Barb, Karen, Burke, Dan K, and Dan K, Angie, Craig, Vincent, Howard, Rita, San San, Alphose, Sharon, Peter, Carolyn, Gilbert, Earl, Darlene, Marie, Sandy, Diane, Jane, Michelle, Cliff, Paulette, Keevin, Tim, Marion, Terry and the rest. Even on Gilligan's Island they later said, "the professor and Marianne". Even Carlton Lockett found his way to North COunty to close out the night. (His bluetooth had GPS). And, Please continue to accept calls from Renell, because he expresses how the committee feels best and I'm sure most of you feel - That we had fun, and it is good to come from a place called U. City. Next, we can discuss how to post your photos to online albums. If you have already done so, send me the link. Keep visiting, put me on your favorites at work.

Fantasmagicalariffic!


I couldn’t have said it better myself. Even, though I neglected to write, "BLASTOFF" or DAY ZERO for the last post, so I think Fantasmagicalariffic sums up the weekend. You can see it in Hallie G’s expression. What is success? Rice. Yes, but success is also 2 nights in October with U City’s Class of 1977. It is waaaaaaaaaaaay too much to share with you all now. And, especially for y’all that could not attend, I want to be sure to share as many photos, email contacts, and stories that is possible, so that you can be included-in-place. I will transmit a feeling to you with the help of photos I took and photos that others provide. Later, I’ll recommend ways for you to share your photos by using online albums like Flickr. (Hallie's photo will be up this afternoon)
