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)

Sandy Hsieh

DAN KLOECKNER NOT Dan Klotzer

Which we had both. We also had a Randolph Kirk and a Richard Kirk - Where are you guys? Most likely, curing cancer or something routine like that! Well, so goes the life of a seventy-seven grad. So, feast your eyes on the captures of the 10 AND 20 year Dan KLOECKNER above. You pick the year. Oh, see Roland O. sitting back in the cut! Remember, click on the picture to see better.

I believe I can FLY

YOu know, I agree Mike, sometimes you just have to say HEY - Got my beer, got my camera, I'm at the 20 year reunion, in the rickity-ass Heman park shelter - I'm feeling my peeps, Hey!

20 Days to go and 20 years ago

Beth and Dwayne were putting on the Ritz in this fantastic capture!

Mario Cirio

at the 10th

Isn't they LOVELY!

NO question about it! Carol and Michelle were definitely representing at this 10year reunion event.

Friends at the 20 year GALA

Ok, Someone leave a comment with the first young lady's name - It is Sabrina Caldwell, thanks! We got Abe and Tony holding it down with Edna and Donna Davis or is that Debbie Davis? I always got confused, so I just call them Debbie-Donna. You say it Debbie-Donna. Real Fast - Debbie-Donna.

Friends Chillin' at the 20 year PICNIC

Let's see from left to right: Darryl, Kerry, Gilbert, and David! I'm sure we will all see them at the 30th. Is that Abe there in the background? Oh, and check out Kerry's cellphone, were they that big in '97?

Robert Townsend - Before and After

So ya see - At the 10-year way back in 1987 we were privy to have Robert Townsend kick-it with the Class of 1977! You know, The Meteor Man. Actually, we helped his career, because after he hung with us, he went on to make Hollywood Shuffle ,in 1987, and then I'm Gonna Git You Sucka, in 1988 - the pinnacle of his career! Also, who can forget The Five Heartbeats! So check out the BEFORE photo above where he's being accompanied by Arlene, later he was all U-City-ed up and had to be held-up by Carolyn and Stephanie, 'cause that's the way we do it! Last call, dude, last call. BTW, I haven't seen him since.

NO YAC - Saturday NIGHT!!

COMMITTEE

Golf Sunday - Really!

If you want to be added to the list of golfers, please add a comment to this post. Just click below and leave your name - This is just so David Lee can get an approx. count. That will be for 9 holes at Ruth Park. We'll have more specifics out later.

Has anybody seen my old friend...

Theresa! Can you tell me where she's gone? You know the rest. If you see your photo you hast to make a comment!

Time is getting Shorts!

Er, I mean short! Unlike the non-Jordinesque basketball uniform-circa, 1977, worn in the heat of play by our own #14 Lewis Tyler! So, don't miss the RAC and the YAC this OCT, because it's going to be TIGHT like that "wife-tappin' T-shirt" in our photo capture. All jokes aside, tight and little may come back, you never know. Who wants to take a fashion risk?
