GOLF Sunday

In the seventies, we’d be shifting 4 on the floor, but its 2007, so we’re tiptronic into 6th gear! What does all that mean? It means we’re in high gear barreling toward the reunion! 38 days out and now we got GOLF Sunday, for those interested. David Lee is looking for names, so he can set something up at home course in Ruth Park. Hopefully, the weather will hold. Please send your name and contact number to the email or just respond by clicking the envelope below. There you can make your comment and we all can see and share who plans to GOLF! Hurry!
Thanks, D. Spitler.

Rita in the Middle

Well, she's moreso to left of the middle, but in any case you will see Rita at the upcoming shin-dig this October. Plus, tonight is the alumni fundraiser at Hadley's - sorry I didn't post earlier. Ok, who else above: There's David Lee, a positive story like I promised! He'll be inducted into the "Hall of Fame" this Sep 29th - another U.City success story and I'm sure I'll have many more to share after the reunion. About the current football team, well they lost the first game against St. Charles West by only a missed field goal (10-7). Albeit heartbreaking, it's actually a good thing to hold a St. Charles team to only a touchdown and a field goal. Go support them this Saturday at Noon, I think they play Eureka.

Current State of Affairs

Hey! Let's just take a diversion away from the hoopla that we are all anticipating and talk about a current issue at our alma mater: THe Football team. CHeck out the article in the Journal about our team. Thirty years after our departure, the state of University City Schools is anything but stable. The district has been accused of mishandling the gifted programs in the elementary schools, and last year Dr. Bender (principal at the high school)had to slam back at the Journal writers for trashing the players of the team. Now, this year the team will be the Cinderella story of the Suburban South Conference. We just don't have enough players. We just don't have enough enrollment. Our class was about 550 strong. My daughter's graduating class of 2008 lingers around 250. Maybe the city should demolish rows of bungelows off 82nd street and construct some homes with amenities families want for less than 300-500K. WHilst all that is happening we have several success stories, name one: In 2005, Beth Santoro was a presidential scholar, 1 of only 2 per state nationwide. Let's talk. I'll have something positive for you to consider next time you log-in.

10 Year Reunion Photo

Ok, All, We are definitely cookin' with gas now! Beth Diboll Castronovo has met the call and provided us with a photo from our 10th reunion gala! Do you remember how youthful we all look? Personally, I think we all look pretty good now, at least those of you that I have seen recently. It's good being from U.City, it helped us go to other places and succeed. So take a moment and view this photo - a click on it should expand the picture so you can really see your classmates. Enjoy! Thanks, Beth.

Bye the way, the Mixer and Dinner sign-up will be sent to you by email for those of you that received the previous notice. I will also post it here.

Class Officers

Many captions come to mind when viewing this photo, but, for the sake of good manners, I'll leave that caption for you to create. Send me one back at the email. Let's see that's Bob again, and Donnie Spetner, and Lisa Zach, Mark Gillispie, and Pat, um, Pat.

Where are they now?

I see Renell, I see David, I see Cliff, I see Stacy, I see Bob, and...
I see Hallie, I see Donnie, and, and...
Now it's your job to help me out! Let's find these people and get them to the sha-bang-bang in October. Click here tomorrow, because I will be posting the FLYER and personal questionnaire. I know that guy-his name is on the tip of my tongue. Oh, I need that 10-year reunion photo.
