(9/17) - About 30 classmates and guests participated in the initial planning session for our 45 year reunion as part of a terrific potluck and bonfire event hosted by Janet and Bill Forbes on September 16. The weekend of July 10-12, 2008 will include several events around the theme, "'63 turns 63." Initial plans are similar to past reunions with an evening picnic on Friday and a dinner on Saturday night. Other ideas for the rest of the weekend were also discussed, including golf, antique shopping, a wine-tasting tour and a Sunday breakfast. Our treasury now totals about $1000 so we will have enough funds for mailings, deposits and other up front costs.

(3/2) - Our class lost a good friend on Thursday, March 2.
John Psychas suffered a massive cardiac incident and passed away quickly. I will update  the information here as soon as more information is available. John enjoyed a terrific weekend with many of us at our 60th Birthday Celebration in Orlando in October. Shortly thereafter, he moved from Ann Arbor back to Jackson and lived across the street from our high school. John was spark plug at our class events and a major force in keeping us together. We will miss him greatly.
