This whole elementary blog idea started in 2000 when a few RHS classmates' emails spread like wildfire. This blog consists mostly of conversations regarding our 40th reunion and, of course, memories from our elementary days. As we approach our 45th reunion, please share your comments, memories and wishes on our RHS Class of '70 Facebook page. Let's start with... Are you interested in reuniting with your elementary classmates again in 2015?

So, Did you have fun?
We all send out a tremendous Thank You to Rick Bowe, Irene Nagy and Brian Corcoran for executing a 40th RHS reunion that was a smashing success!! Please add additional thoughts and comments here as we recall the events and bask in the fun memories!
Nancy Kandoian says: A belated thanks to you wonderful reunion planners and implementers (including Kathy Lauerman, whose email address I don't think I have), and to your support people. I had a great time. I was looking forward to it for so long, and it was over so quickly, despite the whole weekend full of events. I'm glad there are plans to have the next reunion in 5 years instead of 10, because there just wasn't enough time to talk to all the folks I would have liked to catch up with. But anyhow, you people did such a terrific job, communicating, following up, generating good feeling with the web site, the email messages, the elementary school gatherings, the cd, the nametags and the yearbook photos of the attendees decorating the banquet hall -- all the special touches. The "It gets better" message resonates for anyone who left high school on an awkward note and reunites with classmates 40 years later in a series of events where the warmth flows like it did for us a few weeks ago. Thank you!

I have something to say!! How do I blog?
Please add a comment to any of these conversations! Look over our selection of blogs in the right menu, including those within past months. When you are feeling inspired, simply type a mesage in the "Post a Comment" text box. Underneath the comment box, open the "comment as" menu and select "name/url" (unless you have a listed profile). Type your name; you may leave the url blank. You may choose to be anonymous or include your name within the text as well. Select "Preview" if you would like to see what your comment will look like before it is published. You may choose to delete a message after it is published but it will leave a message stating "comment removed by blogger". Come on...You know you want to join us!
What question or memory do YOU have?
