Five months until the CHS Class of 1969 will celebrate their 40th Reunion...but the 40th year has already begun...what were we doing 40 years ago. Attending classes, singing in choir, playing in the band...finally getting your locker open. This past weekend I attended a classic car auction...can you believe that 40 years ago we drove classic cars...and didn't even know it! And if we had known...we would have held onto them and sold them for 10 times what we paid for them 40 years learlier.
Since we had our 35th reunion in 2004, I have come to the realization, that the people in our class are the very best friends a person could have. We spent 12 years with almost all of them. They know things about us that other friends will never know. They have laughed and cried with us. Now they are back...with Facebook, email, cell phones...there is no reason not to stay in contact with all of your old friends.
Since we graduated, we have lost 25 classmates. Don't let time pass by and not say what you have always thought about saying to that special friend from school.
You all should have received a letter about the upcoming reunion. Please answer with the personal information that is needed to make an address book for everyone to have. Please make your plans early to attend the reunion also...August 28th -30th.
Tentative plans:
August 28th - Informal gathering with classmates
August 29th - Social gathering for the ladies
August 29th - 40th Reunion - Caruthersville Community Center, catered BBQ, I-55 performing
August 30th - Special Church service for Class of '69...special music
Other special events will be added as we get closer to the date. If you have any ideas of something that would be fun, please let us know.
The planning is getting serious now...the next meeting is April 18th, at 10:00 at the Roundhouse. They actually took a picture of us last time to put on their Wall of Fame...we are so special!!!

Planning meeting
The planning committee met Saturday Feb.28th at the Roundhouse. Seven class members and one spouse attended. More photos were offered for the reunion video, and plans discussed for the weekend of August 28-30, 2009.
The group ordered a flower arrangement for Kathy Montgomery's service...red and white carnations, from the Class of 1969.
Several members also went to see I-55 perform. It was a good weekend, even with the snow.
The committee is working together to make sure the reunion will be outstanding!!

If you are not a member of Facebook yet...you may want to sign up. Facebook is very addictive...but it is a really great way to stay in contact with friends both near and far. Everyday you are able to catch up with friends and family. Write a quick note...see a new picture. There is even a CHS Class of 69 40th Reunion group.
There are several class members who will be attending the planning meeting next Saturday, the 28th in Caruthersville, at the Roundhouse. Everyone is welcome, new ideas are always needed.
If anyone has any news about anything involving our class...or others...please email chsclassof69@charter.net .

Hello Friends...I haven't posted on the blog since last year...mainly because not many people have been reading it. But with the new year and our reunion slated for August...it is time to start in again.
Some sad news...Mr. Bill Cantrell, passed away this morning...some of you may have had his wife Faye Cantrell as a teacher. His daughters were also friends of many of you. Please keep his family in your prayers.
The weekend of Feb. 27th...I-55 will be playing in C'ville at the casino. Many of our class and others will be meeting there for a fun night with friends.
The next morning we will have a planning meeting at the Roundhouse...get some good breakfast also...at this time probably around 10.
Letters will go out this week to announce the change in our reunion date...and hopefully we will get a good response.
