Dear Classmates,

Just in case you thought you'd missed it, we didn't have a 45th class reunion last year.

So, we've been kicking around the idea of having one next year, 2012, to celebrate the "Class of '65 Turns 65." Recently, we sent out an email to everyone whose email address appears here on the website asking them if they thought this was a good idea, and if they would attend.

Although a good number of the email addresses were no longer valid, judging from the many comments we have received, there's a lot of enthusiasm for the idea. Most of those responding have requested that the event be casual. So, the committee is looking at the idea as more of a "birthday party" for the class rather than a "reunion" reunion. We thought October would be a good time to have it, and venues are being explored at this time.

In addition, some of you have expressed concern about this event taking the place of a 50th reunion in 2015. But it would not, providing of course that there is still enough enthusiasm to have a 50th celebration when the time comes. If you'll recall, we didn't have a 35th reunion, but we did have a 37th in 2002 (Packard Museum); and still had a 40th in 2005 (Miami Valley CC).

If you didn't receive the aforementioned email, please take a few minutes and drop us a line at tfink3@woh.rr.com with your thoughts, and if you would attend. We'll keep you posted on our progress.

Thanks to all who have responded so far. This "birthday party" approach could be a lot of fun!
