Picnic Sunday, Aug 8, Bryant Park, 1 PM
We had an AWESOME turnout Saturday for the Ciddici's picnic party! We estimated at least 100 people werethere! People stayed until well after dark and the staff was cleaning up around us! Great seeing everyone again! Many thanks to Ray Pulsifer for being our great MC! Thank you to everyone who came, and to those who generously contributed Door Prizes! It was a lot of fun! Check the Photo Gallery for pictures from the Saturday get-together!.

Classmates are in town for the reunion! We heard from Jane (Geer) Bremer, Debi (Porter) Gravitt and Denise (Zolotoff) McGinty. We haven't had time to post bios yet, but will after the Sunday picnic.

Picnic Sunday starts at 1 PM at Bryant ark. Please note that the Sunday picnic is NOT potluck. Bring what you need for yourself and to feed the people you are bringing to the picnic. That means provide your own food, drinks, dishes and eating utensils. Our reunion budget isn't enough to cover food or place service, sorry! Your food should be prepared and ready-to-eat. There are BBQ grills at the park, but we won't be manning them. Anyone who is willing to tend a grill, and clean-up afterwards, is welcome to use it on their own!

Look who recently checked in. Scroll down for bios.

She said to tell everyone "Hi!", but she won't be able to attend due to prior commitments for the weekend. Steve, Betty and Vickie will try to come to at least one of the reunion functions. Many thanks to Bruce Phillips for being our latest reunion sponsor! His ad will be ready soon! Sponsorship money and donations are very much appreciated to defray the costs of putting on our reunion. Bruce will be one of the ones golfing with Dave Harris on Saturday. Anyone else interested in Saturday golf, please contact Dave ASAP at 541-924-3660 (home).

We are still looking for many classmates including: Lori Bickers, Debbie Bidwell, Delores Brown, Teresa Brunson, Steve Covey, Sam Cox, Pam DeWilde, Steve Douglas, Ellen Evers, Jane Geer, Michael Gift, Lisa Halvardson, Connie Hansen, Kathy Kato, Greg Larson, Peter Lundberg, Drenda Lynn, Darice Magnuson, Rod Maier, Lisa McKinnis, Tia McKinnis, Linda Saxton, Karen Stanton, Doug Tucker, Debbie Valencia, Pam Vaughan, Delores Wilson, Lyle Wink, and lots of others! If you know where any of these classmates are today, please contact them and let them know about our reunion and ask them to check in, even if they can't attend.

What are people bringing for Door Prizes so far? Dale Ballou May is bringing a panda t-shirt from the San Diego zoo. Lance Leonard is bringing something called 'Real Networks', from a company in Seattle. He says it "allows one to download and burn a CD. It's a sampler, so it gives you access for 30 days and I believe the cost per song to download is 50 cents each.... It's pretty cool!" We're asking everyone who comes to Ciddici's Saturday night to bring a Door Prize, something nice under $10, (not a gag gift).

Please keep spreading the word that the reunion is Saturday AND Sunday to as many classmates as you know. There is golf on Saturday, the evening social at Ciddici's pizza place on Saturday, and the Sunday picnic at Bryant Park. All events are "No Host" - pay your own way. Bring your own blanket, food, drinks and beer to the Sunday picnic. We will have Door Prizes at Ciddici's-maybe something for Sunday picnic too if we get enough sponsorships to help fund more. Spouses, former teachers & staff, and students from behind or ahead of us in years are welcome to these reunion functions! Also, students we went to school with, but for some reason or another didn't make it all the way to graduation are very welcome! We want to see as many classmates as possible! West Albany High is also having their reunion that same weekend if anyone wants to catch up with any of those students too! More information on the West Albany High Class of '74 30th Reunion is on their website: http://www.wahs74.org.

Update: Please tell us about yourself and your current life!
We would like to know where you live, what you do, kids & ages. If you would like others to contact you, please send along your e-mail, mailing address, and your web site address. We're looking for about a 50 word paragraph from each classmate to add to this page, and will update it as we get new information in. See our Sponsor page if you would like to help support our reunion efforts with a display ad for your business ($25). Send info to, dawn@wrws.com (Dawn Ballou).
