INTRODUCTION
Greetings
Huskies:
February
2000 Newsletter Correction: Patricia Bassing Conley was incorrectly
published as a member of the Class of 1983. She is an alumna of 1970.
MR.
CLARKE’S RETIREMENT: A
reminder that a memory book is being compiled for Mr. Clarke by his
colleagues at Richard Montgomery. The
deadline for submissions of materials is May 30th. Details are posted on the website in the Staff Information
Section.
PAULA
GOODMAN CREWS (1975): Read an
article in the San Diego Union-Tribune that includes an interview with
Paula about the teen pregnancy support group at Sharp Memorial Hospital
where she is a clinical social worker.
The article is linked from the MSO website.
CONGRATS:
To Dave Rush (1971) who became a grandfather (by first marriage) when his
daughter gave birth to a girl on Groundhog Day.
Dave mentions “Married life is much better the second time
around... but this aging
process is killing me.” Birth
announcements and alumni kids’ news are posted in the Husky Pups section
of the website.
CLASS
OF 1971, ET AL: Friends of Gary Ebert (1971) might want to visit the
display of memorial blocks from the AIDS Memorial Quilt which will be on
display at American University this week.
See further details from Mr. Pine in this newsletter.
REUNIONS:
The latest info can be found on the MSO website for the Classes of
1963-65 (joint 3-day event beginning August 11), 1970 (July 29), 1975
(August 5), and 1980 (August-TBD). Get
your reservations in now and check the “missing persons” lists online.
Additionally, there is an open invitation to attend the 1963-1965
Joint Reunion, with payment of course, and anyone wishing to advertise in
their reunion book with a business card may do so for $20. Contact Gale Senseman Privette (1966) at gale7@juno.com
to place your order.
HOMECOMING
2000: Several earlier-year
graduates have asked about the location of the Platters/Marvelettes
concert set for June 17, 2000 at the Sylvia Ely Auditorium.
The auditorium (constructed early-mid 1970s, and formerly the
Joseph P. Campitell Auditorium) is on the former school grounds and
adjacent to the front parking lot... opposite side of the “drivers ed”
range. Mark your calendars for June 16-18, 2000!
For details, visit the website at www.pearyalum.org.
MIDNIGHT
SUN ONLINE: The “MSO” has surpassed the 2,600 mark of those alums who
are signed-up with us, and we continue to receive online updates from
former classmates (1963-1986) everyday, literally.
Thank you for telling your former classmates and friends about this
project, and for your continued voluntary financial support of its
operation. For statistical
purposes, we still need the number of graduates from the following class
years: 1963, 1967, 1968, 1970, 1974, 1977, 1978, and 1982.
Thanks to those who have assisted with the count for the other grad
years.
If
you are experiencing problems with the recently-modified navigation
