Please visit the link provided by Anna Marie Leimbach Swanson

Good luck, Brad!

when making your travel plans. Information

CLASS
OF 1975 “ANNUAL” REUNION INFO from Betty Lopez:
Hi Everyone! No, it
hasn’t been 5 years, just 1, but it’s time, once again, to get
together for a reunion. If
you were able to attend last year’s 25th celebration, you may
remember (or, if senior moments have taken over, you may not remember)
that we declared the first weekend in August, each year, as a time to get
together, especially for those of you who are local to Maryland.
So,
here’s the scoop! Saturday, August 4th, 2001, we have
arranged to meet at the Gaithersburg Hilton on Perry Parkway, in, yes,
Gaithersburg! The best part:
IT’S FREE!! We’ll start
around 7pm and meet in the Martingale Lounge/Restaurant.
This is the same place that the “night before” event was held
last year. The lounge is
adjacent to the restaurant so dinner and drinks (alcoholic and
non-alcoholic) are available, at your expense, if you want them.
For those of you who would like them, rooms at the hotel run $79
per night. If we can get at
least a dozen reservations for rooms, they will block them for us.
(See all the details below)
Since
reservations are not necessary for this shindig, you can show up last
minute without concern, HOWEVER, I sure would like to get an idea of how
many people will be attending. PLEASE
email me at boopenhaven@aol.com
or my new work email betty@senecacreek.org.
If I can assist you in making any arrangements, please let me know.
Dress
is casual or spiffy, whatever you feel most comfortable in and feel free
to bring your spouse, date, significant other, friend, parents, someone
else’s spouse or significant other, etc.
BUT bringing small children, although we love ‘em, will probably
not be the best idea.
Can’t
wait to see you all again! Let’s
have a blast!

MR.
HILL’S 75th BIRTHDAY: The
deadline has passed to send materials for Mr. Hill’s Memory Book to help
celebrate his birthday. The
book has been completed. Thank
you to Mrs. Hill and Gale Senseman Privette (1966) for organizing this
surprise. And, especially,
thanks to those of you who sent their letters and cards and photos to
compile this book which will be presented as a surprise to Mr. Hill in
June.
DONATIONS:
Thank you to those who have inquired about Coach Burlas’s plan to
support the MSO project as a “benefactor” with a donation of $500 or
more. Information is
available on the MSO website for both benefactor donations and regular
donations. In addition, the sale of “Robert E. Peary Huskies”
polo/golf shirts with the husky logo will help support this project.
Check the website to order your shirts.
Thank you to the Class of 1971 for proposing this plan of shirt
sales. A portion of the
proceeds goes directly to supporting MSO operational costs.
The
deadline for the next issue of the Midnight Sun Online is Saturday June
23. “Submit an Article”
or “Sign-Up/Update” on the MSO website to let your friends know what
you’ve been up to!
Have
a Safe and Wonderful summer... and looking forward to, hopefully,
meeting-up with many of you who have let me know you’ll be visiting here
in the desert SW!
